U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of Transient Convection in Ducts

这项美国-巴西项目奖励将支持包括博士在内的合作研究。迈阿密大学的Sadik Kakac和Hongtan Liu，巴西里约热内卢大学的Renato Machado Cotta教授和帕拉伊巴联邦大学的Carlos A. C. Santos教授共同研究了模拟电子元件阵列的光滑管道和通道的热流。Drs。Kakac和Liu将进行实验调查。科塔和桑托斯将在巴西进行理论研究。Kakac博士在瞬态强迫对流研究方面拥有丰富的经验，而巴西人的专长是通过使用广义积分变换技术对不同传热问题进行理论模拟。通过共同努力，他们将研究一个重要的传热问题，并为电子设备的热交换器和冷却系统的设计提出建议。＊＊＊

9602952 Kakac This U.S.-Brazil Program award will support collaborative research involving Drs. Sadik Kakac and Hongtan Liu of the University of Miami, Professor Renato Machado Cotta at the University of Rio de Janeiro and Professor Carlos A. C. Santos at the Federal University of Paraiba to study heat flow involving both smooth ducts and passages with arrays of blocks simulating electronic components. Drs. Kakac and Liu will conduct the experimental investigation and Drs. Cotta and Santos will do the theoretical studies in Brazil. Dr. Kakac has extensive experience in the study of transient forced convection while the Brazilians' expertise is in the theoretical simulation of different heat transfer problems by use of a generalized integral transform technique. By joining efforts, they will work on an important problem of heat transfer and develop recommendations to design heat exchangers and cooling systems for electronic devices. ***
