... of a wire mesh, namely, thermal conductivity ratio (α), concentration (γ a ), mesh number (M), and thermal contact conductance at the wire-to-wire interfacial area were all investigated in detail over a different temperature range in the normal to the wire mesh. The analytical expressions for effective...

.... Nanoparticle transport is coupled with the energy equation via Brownian and thermophoretic diffusion. Enthalpy porosity approach is used to model the phase change of PCMNC. Scheil rule is used to compute the nanoparticle concentration in the mixture consisting of solid and liquid PCMNC. All the finite volume...
