Numerical Simulation of Entropy Generation of Conjugate Heat Transfer in A Porous Cavity with Finite Walls and Localized Heat Source

Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Flat Plate with Conjugate Heat Transfer

The falling and settling of solid particles in gases and liquids is a natural phenomenon happens in many industrial processes. This phenomenon has altered pure forced convection to a combination of heat conduction and heat convection in a flow over a plate. In this paper, the coupling of conduction (inside the plate) and forced convection of a non-homogeneous nanofluid flow (over a flat plate) ...

A Numerical Modeling for Natural Convection Heat Transfer in Porous Media With Generated Internal Heat Sources

In this paper a numerical method is used to study the unsteady state natural convection heat transfer within a confined porous media with uniform internal heat generation. The governing equations based on the Darcy model and Bossiness approximations are solved, using the finite difference Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. The developed program was used to simulate natural convection ...

Entropy Generation in Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Cavity Subjected to a Magnetic Field

Numerical investigation is carried out to predict the entropy generation for combined natural convection heat and mass transfer in a two dimensional porous cavity subjected to a magnetic field. The Darcy model is used in the mathematical formulation of the flow in porous media. The mathematical model is derived in dimensionless form. The governing parameters arise in the mathematical model are ...

Flow field, heat transfer and entropy generation of nanofluid in a microchannel using the finite volume method

In this study, the finite volume method and the SIMPLER algorithm is employed to investigate forced convection and entropy generation of Cu-water nanofluid in a parallel plate microchannel. There are four obstacles through the microchannel, and the slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions are considered in the governing equations to increase the accuracy of modeling. The study is ...
