    Abstract: Dimples play a very important role in heat transfer enhancement of electronic cooling systems. This work mainly deals with experimental investigation of forced convection heat transfer over square shaped dimples on a flat aluminum plate under external laminar flow conditions. Experimental measurements on heat transfer rate and friction characterist... Show More

    Abstract: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation has been increasing due to population growth, changing life style, technology development and increased consumption of goods. The increase of waste generation combined with the use of waste dumps may lead to environmental and social problems such as water contamination, land and atmospheric pollutions, resulti... Show More
