Analytical Solution of Non-Newtonian Nanofluid Flows Within Circular Duct under Convective Boundary Condition

MHD Free Convective Boundary Layer Flow of a Nanofluid past a Flat Vertical Plate with Newtonian Heating Boundary Condition

Steady two dimensional MHD laminar free convective boundary layer flows of an electrically conducting Newtonian nanofluid over a solid stationary vertical plate in a quiescent fluid taking into account the Newtonian heating boundary condition is investigated numerically. A magnetic field can be used to control the motion of an electrically conducting fluid in micro/nano scale systems used for t...

CFD Study of the Turbulent Forced Convective Heat Transfer of Non-Newtonian Nanofluid

CuO/water Nanofluid Convective Heat Transfer Through Square Duct Under Uniform Heat Flux

Sometimes the need for non-circular ducts arises in many heat transfer applications because of lower pressure drop of non-circular cross section such as square duct compared to circular tube, particularly in compact heat. But square cross section has poor heat transfer performance and it is expected that using a nanofluid as a new heat transfer media may improve the heat transfer performance of...

On similarity solutions for non-Newtonian boundary layer flows

The boundary layer equations for non-Newtonian fluids are examined under the classical conditions of uniform flow past a semi infinite flat plate. Using the similarity transformation, the system of partial differential equations are transformed into a similarity non-linear ordinary differential equation. The existence and uniqueness of some classes of similarity solutions are studied and their ...

Quantifying non-Newtonian effects in rotating boundary-layer flows

The stability of the boundary-layer on a rotating disk is considered for fluids that adhere to a non-Newtonian governing viscosity relationship. For fluids with shear-rate dependent viscosity the base flow is no longer an exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations, however, in the limit of large Reynolds number the flow inside the three-dimensional boundary-layer can be determined via a simi...
