Turbulent convection with “disconnected” top and bottom boundary layers
– We have done an experimental study of turbulent thermal convection in water using a cell with a baffle placed at its mid-height, over a range of Ra that spans from 2 × 10 to 2× 10. It was found that in this case the large-scale circulation is not able to advect heat between the top and bottom plates and heat has to be carried across the baffle mainly by thermal plumes. Furthermore, the measur...
متن کاملTailoring boundary geometry to optimize heat transport in turbulent convection
By tailoring the geometry of the upper boundary in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection we manipulate the boundary layer-interior flow interaction, and examine the heat transport using the lattice Boltzmann method. For fixed amplitude and varying boundary wavelength λ, we find that the exponent β in the Nusselt-Rayleigh scaling relation, Nu − 1 ∝ Ra, is maximized at λ ≡ λmax ≈ (2π) , but decays...
متن کاملEffect of slip and variable thermal boundary conditions on hydromagnetic mixed convection flow and heat transfer from a non-linearly stretching surface
The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

Given the need to increase the efficiency of heat transfer in thermal systems, especially systems using nanofluids in microscale and nanoscale heat transfer equipment ideas to improve their performance is very good.In present study, the flow and heat transfer of Water-Cu nanofluid in micro-tube with slip regime with constant wall heat flux numerically simulated with low Reynolds numbers. Sl...
متن کاملTurbulent Mixed Convection of a Nanofluid in a Horizontal Circular Tube with Non-Uniform Wall Heat Flux Using a Two-Phase Approach
In this paper, Turbulent mixed convective heat transfer of water and Al2O3 nanofluid has been numerically studied in a horizontal tube under non-uniform heat flux on the upper wall and insulation in the lower wall using mixture model. For the discretization of governing equations, the second-order upstream difference scheme and finite volume method were used. The coupling of pressure and veloci...
