Thermal-Fluid Flow Transport Phenomenon over Slot-Perforated Flat Plates Placed in Narrow Channel
نویسنده
چکیده
A numerical study is performed to investigate unsteady, two-dimensional, incompressible laminar flow over both sides of a slot-perforated flat surface, which is placed in a narrow channel. Emphasis is placed on the effect of the blockage factor, that is, the ratio of plate thickness to channel widthW on the heat-transfer performance and the velocity and thermal fields. It is found from the study that 1) when the slot width is increased, the alternating change in the fluid flow disturbs the thermal boundary layer formed along the plate and induces mixing of the upper and lower streams of the plate downstream from the slot, resulting in an amplification of heat-transfer performance; 2) heat-transfer performance at the rear plate is induced with an increase in slot width and Re; and 3) by contrast, heat-transfer performance is attenuated with an increase in the blockage factor, whose effect becomes larger in the lower region of the Reynolds number.

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) ...
