1. 1. Modelling of Heat Transfer for Convection-boosted Flat Vertical Radiator Surfaces : An investigation of how heat transfer is influenced by radiator height and freestream air velocity

   University essay from KTH/Strömnings- och klimatteknik

   Author : Oskar Scheibe; [2017]
   Keywords : Heat transfer; flat vertical plate; non-isothermal; temperature profile; radiator; energy efficiency;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a calculation model is created to study a theoretical radiator-like configuration, consisting of a flat vertical plate heated with a constant capacity rate. This lumped capacitance model is partly created to more theoretically look at radiators with add-on-fans, but also to in such a setting look at fundamental heat transfer relationships. READ MORE

3. 2. DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PITCHED-PLATE VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE FOR DOMESTIC POWER GENERATION

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

   Author : Ajith Hikkaduwa Vithanage; [2012]
   Keywords : sustainable energy engineering; VAWT; Flat plate VAWT;

   Abstract : Wind energy is identified a promising energy resource in Sri Lanka. Therefore, it is important to use proper technologies for efficient energy capturing in order to minimize cost of energy. Small scale wind turbines are usually installed in constricted places (particularly in urban areas) where wind flow is turbulent and difficult to predict. READ MORE
