ABSTRACTHeat transfer applications usually contemplated day‐to‐day are primarily spotlighted on mixed convection, such as solar collector heating arrangements, electronic cooling, and drying processes. Enhancing convection heat transmission in such appliances can be achieved by inserting porous media, inflow loci, and/or line geometry. In the present paper, convection heat transmission inside a vented curved cavity () with an inserted metal foam layer ( PPI and 0.9% porosity) saturated with water was accomplished. The bottom cavity wall was discretely heated at a constant hot temperature, and the curved wall was kept at a constant cold temperature. Governing equations comprising continuity, momentum with the Darcy–Brinkmann–Forchheimer model, and local thermal equilibrium energy equation have been used and numerically resolved by utilizing the finite element scheme. The inspirations of pertinent parameters involving metal foam layer thickness (), Richardson number (, , ), Reynolds number (), inlet port position (, , ), and partial heating position (, , ) are scrutinized. The results reveal that flow and heat transfer fields are influenced chiefly by these parameter alterations. Streamlines and isotherms were affected strongly by Reynolds number and inlet port location. The average Nusselt number highly depended on the Reynolds number and the metal foam layer insertion. When and , increasing the metal foam layer thickness enlarges cavity regions with high temperature values, but when , another performance is attained. The position at is recommended in most thermal engineering applications.

The existing investigation explains the consequence of irradiation of violet laser on the structure properties of MawsoniteCu₆Fe₂SnS₈ [CFTS] thin films. The film was equipped by the utilization of semi-computerized spray pyrolysis technique (SCSPT), it is the first time that this technique is used in the preparation and irradiation using a laser. when the received films were processed by continuous red laser (700 nm) with power (>1000mW) for different laser irradiation time using different number of times a laser scan (0, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 times) with total irradiation time (0,30,45,60,75,90 min) respectively at room temperature.. The XRD diffraction gave polycrysta

In this article four samples of HgBa₂Ca₂Cu_2.4Ag_0.6O_8+δ were prepared and irradiated with different doses of gamma radiation 6, 8 and 10 Mrad. The effects of gamma irradiation on structure of HgBa₂Ca₂Cu_2.4Ag_0.6O_8+δ samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction. It was concluded that there effect on structure by gamma irradiation. Scherrer, crystallization, and Williamson equations were applied based on the X-ray diffraction diagram and for all gamma doses, to calculate crystal size, strain, and degree of crystallinity. I
