Heat transfer in the thermal entrance region for flow through rectangular porous passages

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 ...

A Theoretical Investigation on Thermal Entrance Region Heat Transfer in a Conduit Filled with Nanofluids

A theoretical analysis has been made to explore thermal entrance region heat transfer in nanofluids. The numerical model used in this paper is based on the Buongiorno model for convective heat transfer in nanofluids with modifications to fully account for the effects of nanoparticles volume fraction distributions on the continuity, momentum and energy equations. Numerical investigations have be...

Heat Transfer Analysis of Nanofluid Flow with Porous Medium through Jeffery Hamel Diverging/Converging Channel

In this paper, flow and heat transfer of nanofluid through a converging or diverging channel with porous medium is investigated. The fluid constantly flows under the effect of magnetic field through the channel. The diverging/converging fluid motion is modeled using the momentum and energy equations. The influence of some parameters such as opening channel angle, Reynolds number and Darcy’s num...

Thermal Radiation, Buoyancy and Heat Generation Effects on Flow and Heat Transfer in Porous Medium

An analysis is carried out to study free convective flow and heat transfer of an viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet. Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using R-K Gill method along with shooting technique. Numerical results of the local of the local skin friction coefficient...
