Effect of Magnetic Field on Entropy Generation Due to Laminar Forced Convection Past a Horizontal Flat Plate

Magnetic field effect on local entropy generation due to steady two-dimensional laminar forced convection flow past a horizontal plate was numerically investigated. This study was focused on the entropy generation characteristics and its dependency on various dimensionless parameters. The effect of various dimensionless parameters, such as Hartmann number (Ha), Eckert number (Ec), Prandtl numbe...

Forced convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer along a flat plate embedded in a porous medium

DURING the past decade, fluid flow and heat transfer through porous media have experienced renewed research interest due to a broad range of applications, including geothermal systems, thermal insulation, metals processing, catalytic reactors, direct-contact heat exchangers, transpiration cooling, filtration, etc. In many practical systems, the porous medium has a high permeability (i.e. the po...

Forced Convective Nonlinear Laminar Boundary Layer Flow of a Nanofluid over a Flat Plate

Forced convective heat transfer plays a significant role in almost all industrial sectors. Examples include cooling of microelectronics, process intensification in the chemical industry, heat exchange/waste heat recovery in power plants and cooling of car engines, to name but a few. In special, a study of forced convective laminar boundary layer behaviour on a flat plate has attracted the atten...

Velocity and Temperature Measurements in a Natural Convection Boundary Layer Along a Vertical Flat Plate

T. Tsuji Y. Nagano Department of Mechanical Engineering Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Japan l lA turbulent natural convection boundary layer along a vertical flat plate in air is investigated with hot-wire techniques. Profile measurements of mean velocity, mean temperature, and turbulent quantities, which are obtained well into the wall region, clarify some characteristics peculiar to...
