HEAT-TRANSFER IN A TAYLOR VORTEX FLOW

Slit Wall and Heat Transfer Effect on the Taylor Vortex Flow

Abstract: The Taylor vortex flow in the plain model with a constant temperature gradient effect was studied by experimental measurement, and the preliminary features of Taylor vortex flow affected by heat transfer process were obtained. This flow field in the plain model was also studied by numerical simulation. The reliability of numerical simulation was verified by comparing the numerical res...

Wave speeds in wavy Taylor-vortex flow

The speed of travelling azimuthal waves on Taylor vortices in a circular Couette system (with the inner cylinder rotating and the outer cylinder at rest) has been determined in laboratory experiments conducted as a function of Reynolds number R, radius ratio of the cylinders 7, average axial wavelength h , number of waves m, and the aspect ratio r (the ratio of the fluid height to the gap betwe...

Flow Analysis Heat and Mass Transfer in a Room

This reports the study on the flow behaviour, heat transfer and contamination distribution in a room. For this purpose the 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, energy equation and a mass transfer equation which model the concentration of contamination have been applied. For turbulence simulation the two equation standard k-  turbulence model was employed. By means of SIMPLE algorithm the...

Heat Transfer in Three-Dimensional Flow along a Porous Plate

An analysis of heat transfer in the flow of a viscous, in-compressible fluid along an infinite porous plate is presented when the plate is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction. The flow field becomes three-dimensional due to this type of suction velocity. Expressions for the flow and temperature fields are obtained by series expansion method. It is found during the course of discussion ...
