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

小行星9602952 这个美国-巴西项目奖将支持迈阿密大学的Sadik Kakac和Hongtan Liu博士、里约热内卢大学的Renato马查多Cotta教授和卡洛斯A. C. 帕拉伊巴联邦大学的桑托斯研究热流，包括光滑管道和模拟电子元件的块阵列通道。 Kakac博士和Liu博士将进行实验研究，Cotta博士和桑托斯博士将在巴西进行理论研究。 Kakac博士在瞬态强制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，他们将致力于解决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. ***
