The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.6 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00013 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.14 SJR: 0.201 SNIP: 0.313 CiteScore™:: 1.2 H-Index: 13

ABSTRACT

For an understanding of flow and heat transfer behavior in a geometry relevant to the cooling of electronic components, experimental flow visualization has been conducted in a discretely heated, vertical, open-top cavity with conducting vertical walls. The experiments have been carried out for two different values of cavity aspect ratio, for high and low vertical wall thermal conductivities, various values of input heat flux to the source, and air as the working fluid. Cigarette smoke has been used as a tracer material. A flow separation phenomenon is observed inside the cavity of aspect ratio 3.57 for both high and low conductive walls; however, the location of the recirculation cell has been different. The formation of the recirculation cell is due to the conjugate heat transfer effects, in particular radiation heat transfer. The understanding obtained from these experiments has allowed development of more accurate numerical models for prediction of flow and temperature fields.
