series solutions
This article models the problem of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of Burgers'
fluid over a stretching surface with Joule heating. Series solutions are generated after transforming the governing
equations through dimensionless variables. The series solutions are dependent on the auxiliary parameters controlling the convergence analysis. To interpret the obtained solutions, the results of velocity, temperature, and of the local Nusselt number are included for different pertinent parameters.

A theoretical and numerical study of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of an all-composite lattice truss core sandwich structure with a constant localized internal heat source under forced water convection is presented. The local fluid characteristics and the mechanism of active cooling are explored by a velocity field analysis. Further, based on the temperature field analysis, the responses of the structural maximum temperature to flow velocity and heat flux are revealed. Three dimensionless parameters scaled by the structural channel height are used to characterize and assess the active cooling performance of the structure. In comparison with numerous heat dissipation media, the result shows that the ultralightweight all-composite lattice truss core sandwich structure has an excellent comprehensive active cooling performance.

closed thermosyphon loop
vapor bubbles
heat transfer agent
In this paper, an experimental investigation on the thermal performance of a two-phase closed thermosyphon loop with
a liquid heat transfer agent (TPCTLL) is considered for the first time. TPCTLLs have shown interesting heat transfer
characteristics, though it has not attracted very much attention from researchers. In this work, repetitive experiments were conducted on the designed closed thermosyphon loop with a filling ratio of 95% and with the focus on the heat transfer performance along with increasing heat input. The experimental results of the TPCTLL reveal three types of heat transfer phenomena, including natural convection around the heating section at low heating power, quasisteady-state flow with periodic fluctuations at a medium heating power, and stable flow with consecutively generated vapor bubbles at a high heating power. In addition, an experiment on the thermal performance of a SPCTL is conducted for comparison purposes.
The analysis indicates that the stable and outstanding operation of the TPCTLL appears at high input heat which exceeds the heat transfer limitation of the SPCTL with the same structure and working fluid, and the heat transfer coefficient of the TPCTLL becomes higher than that of the SPCTL.

Darcy-Forchheimer medium
nonlinear couple equations
fourth-grade fluid
optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM)
mixed convection
permeable walls
An optimal homotopy asymptotic modeling for a fourth-grade viscoelastic fluid with thermophysical effects baked into a Forchheimer porous medium is presented. The series solution for both the fluid velocity and temperature distributions are developed and the recurrence relations are given explicitly. The effects of Darcy–Forchheimer parameters on skin friction as well as the Nusselt number are discussed. The results reveal that the proposed modeling is effective and easy to apply for a strongly nonlinear system in a boundary-layer problem.

microperiodic composite
The paper deals with the problems of heat conduction in a functionally graded material (FGM) layer with the heat conductivity coefficient dependent on the depth from the boundary surface as a power function which is ideally bounded by a layered half-space of microperiodic structure. The boundary plane has a given temperature (a) or is heated by a given heat flux (b). The influence of heat conductivity and geometrical properties of the FGM layer and composite material on temperature and heat flux distributions in the considered bodies were investigated.

infrared rays camera
The dependence of water behavior on condensing steam was examined in stratified cocurrent two-phase flow in a relatively short and narrow horizontal rectangular channel. The main scope of investigation was the process of heat removal from the horizontal water surface to the bulk. A high resolution IR measurement technique was employed to measure the water temperature field. Experiments were conducted at different inflow velocities of steam (6, 8, 10, and 12 m/s) and water (0.014, 0.028, 0.042, and 0.056 m/s). The data analysis was performed by comparing calculated vertical thermal gradients of water, bulk heating power distribution, density of steam condensation mass flux, and a modified Jacob criterion. The
results showed very strong dependence of condensation on the steam velocity. The optimal condensation regime was found at a steam-to-water velocity ratio of 300–400.

Sandia Flame D
turbulent
piloted methane-air jet flame
The Sandia Flame D is a typical and popular turbulent piloted nonpremixed methane-air jet flame. It is extensively studied through both experiments and simulations, however, no exergy analysis of the Sandia Flame D has been reported. This study reports the exergy transfer of the Sandia Flame D for the first time by demonstrating the local kinetic, chemical, thermal, and total exergy of gas in the computational domain. The results obtained from this study show that the local kinetic, chemical, thermal, and total exergy values vary in the ranges of 0.0003–1.974, 1.734–8032.531, 0.003–1568.504, and 1.791–8034.545 kJ/kg, respectively. Both the local kinetic and chemical exergy show the highest values near the gas inlet, and they diffuse and diminish in both the axial and radial directions whereas the local thermal exergy has higher values around the flame marginal and lower values beyond. When the combustion of methane goes on, the chemical exergy transfers to the thermal exergy and it consequently reduces monotonically, whereas the thermal exergy increases first and then diminishes, these collectively making the total exergy reduce monotonically on the whole. The results obtained from this study illustrate well what the local exergy characteristics of the Sandia Flame D are as well as how the exergy transfers and loses.
