Heat Transfer Characteristics of Non-Newtonian Fluid Flows in Narrow Confinements Considering the Effects of Streaming Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermal characteristics of pressure-driven, power-law fluid flows through narrow confinements are analyzed following a semi-analytical approach, by taking into consideration the electrokinetic effects beyond the Debye-Hückel limit. The influence of the induced streaming potential on the flow velocity, temperature and Nusselt number are delineated for parametric variations of the ionic Peclet number and the flow behaviour index. The effect of viscous dissipation is also incorporated into the thermal analysis. The effects of the streaming potential on the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics are found to be appreciably different for fluids exhibiting different rheological characteristics.

Analytical study of flow field and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid in an axisymmetric channel with a permeable wall
In this study, the momentum and energy equations of laminar flow of a non-Newtonian fluid are solved in an axisymmetric porous channel using the least square and Galerkin methods. The bottom plate is heated by an external hot gas, and a coolant fluid is injected into the channel from the upper plate. The arising nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are reduced to a set of coupled no...
متن کاملHeat Transfer of Liquid/ Solid Fluidized Beds for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
The excellent performance of fluidized bed heat exchangers is due to the interaction between particles and heat transfer surface and to the mixing effects in the viscous sublayer. In this paper, the results of experimental investigations on heat transfer for a wide range of Newtonian and non-Newtonian (shear-thinning power law) fluids are presented. New design equations have been developed ...

An analytical model is developed to study the viscoelastic micropolar fluid convection from an inclined plate as a simulation of electro-conductive polymer materials processing with nonlinear temperature. Jeffery’s viscoelastic model is deployed to describe the non-Newtonian characteristics of the fluid and provides a good approximation for polymers. Micro-structural is one of the characteristi...

متن کاملStudy of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer of AL2O3-Water as a Non-Newtonian Nanofluid through Lid-Driven Enclosure
Flow field and heat transfer of a nanofluid, whose non-Newtonian behavior has been demonstrated in the laboratory, in a square enclosure have been numerically modeled and investigated. To estimate the viscosity of nanofluid, experimental data of Hong and Kim, 2012 have been used, and a new model has been proposed. Finally, the obtained results have been compared to those of Newtonian behavior. ...
