Abstract
In this paper, the instability of wave motion on the surface of liquid sheet emanating from a swirl injector exposed to inner and outer air streams, before the breakup is considered using the linear instability analysis by a perturbation method. The forces acting on a liquid gas interface in sprays, including surface tension, pressure, inertia force, centrifugal force and viscous force, lead to grow the disturbances originated from inside the injector on the outgoing liquid sheet. Interaction between these forces ultimately breaks up the jet into the ligaments. The linear instability analysis used in the present study is different from prior analysis. A cylindrical liquid sheet has been considered in previous studies but the present study implements the linear instability on a conical annular liquid sheet. Due to the complexity of derived governing equations a semi-analytical and numerical method was utilized in the solution procedure. The present model is capable to solve governing equations for the liquid jet with large range of spray angle. The predicted results compared with the prior studies results and experiments. The results of the current model in comparison with prior models have better accordance with experimental data. Also, the results show that the improved linear theory (the present model) predicts the breakup length better than linear theory.

Abstract
In this paper, the goal is to provide analytical solutions for the thin film flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in different geometries and boundary conditions. An analytical solution for the non-Newtonian fluids is one of the most important and challenging issues that helps in understanding the physics of these fluids. For this purpose, the theory of micropolar fluids has been used. Thin film in three specific geometries, including flow downward on an inclined surface, flow on a moving ribbon, and flow downward on a vertical cylinder is considered. In order to solve the governing equations and obtaining the velocity and rotational fields, in the first two geometries, an analytical methods and in the third geometry a combined analytic and numerical methods are used with respect to the complexity of the equations. The rotational and velocity fields are plotted for all three cases and the results are discussed for different values of the parameters of a micropolar fluid. Also, the effect of the concentration of microelements in the fluid has been studied. It was observed that with the increase of the micropolar fluid parameter, the magnitude of velocity and rotation decreases.

Abstract
Nowadays, the interaction of oil droplets with gas bubbles plays an important role in many industrial, environmental and biological processes. Therefore, in this paper, the outcome of a collision between a silicon oil droplet and an air bubble in water has studied in order to identify the effective parameters in this process. For this purpose, an especial setup was built and four series of experiments in both dynamic (in which the relative velocity of collision is equal to the bubble velocity due to the Buoyancy force) and static conditions were carried out. The results of these experiments were presented and discussed in the form of several tables and pictures. In these experiments, a high-speed camera and image processing were used to gain a better understanding about bubble-drop coalescence qualitatively, and to obtain some quantitative information such as contact time, velocity, and kinetic and interfacial energies of bubbles and drops during the impact. The results of this study show that in addition to the spreading coefficient, the kinetic energy of bubble/droplet in the collision and their contact time, are also determinative parameters in the determination of the outcome of a collision. In the dynamic and static states, the effect of kinetic energy and contact time are more effective, respectively.

Abstract
In this paper, miscible viscous fingering instability in a Darcy and non-Darcy porous media was studied through numerical solution and the formation and growth of finger patterns were discussed. According to the porosity coefficient, the media can be divided into Darcy and non-Darcy categories. Also, flow velocity and fluid used (Newtonian or non-Newtonian) are the factors that limit the use of Darcy’s relation. In this simulation, against most previous studies which had been used the two-phase Darcy’s structural equation to approximate examination of instabilities, a two-dimensional model was used. This model was based on coupling flow equations in porous media (Darcy or Brinkman) and transport of diluted species. The effects of increasing injection rates and viscosity changes were investigated based on Peclet non-dimensional number and viscous ratio on instabilities. Besides, a comparison was done between the results of Darcy’s and Brinkman’s solution at different porosity coefficient and viscosity ratio. Image processing techniques were performed to measure the break through time, perimeter of the interface, fractal dimension and sweep efficiency. With increasing viscosity in Darcy and Brinkman solution, the perimeter of the interface and fractal dimension were increased and more complex fingers generated. As a result, the sweep efficiency of the porous media reduces. In addition, the growth of the media porosity led to sweep efficiency. Finally, it was observed that with increasing injection velocity in Brinkman’s solution, the fingers complexity and perimeter of the interface increased and sweep efficiency decreased.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of relative humidity percentage on heat transfer and distribution of droplets in the condensation phenomenon, a test device with the ability to provide and control different environmental conditions was made, and therefore, the hydrophilic (copper) and hydrophobic (Teflon coating on copper) surfaces were measured under controlled environmental conditions. In all the tests, the inlet air flow rate, inlet air temperature, air temperature reaching the test surface, water temperature, water surface height, and test surface temperature were kept constant at specific values using PID control. Each test's relative humidity values of 80, 88, and 96% have been determined and controlled. The results of the transient investigation of heat transfer show that it takes time for the condensation phenomenon to occur, and the higher the surface hydrophilicity and relative humidity, the shorter this time will be. Also, the average heat transfer for 60 minutes was calculated. It showed that the average heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing humidity. Under the same environmental conditions, the heat transfer coefficient on hydrophilic surfaces is higher than on hydrophobic ones. In the graphical analysis of the droplet size, it has been observed that the most oversized droplets on hydrophilic surfaces at relative humidities of 88 and 96% are in the hydraulic diameter range of 0.35 to 0.4, and on hydrophobic surfaces are at relative humidities of 80 and 88% in the hydraulic diameter range of 0.2 to 0.25 mm.
