Flow Investigation in a Constant Area Curved Duct
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study dealt with the wall static pressure of a rectangular curved duct with angle of turn 90° at all four faces with various locations. The normalized wall static pressure distributions at the top, bottom, inside and outside surfaces of the C-duct are drawn in the form of contours at three different air velocities, Uav = 20m/s, 40m/s and 60m/s respectively. These iso-bar contours indicate towards the presence of secondary flow in the duct in the form of a pair of contra-rotating vortices for all the three air velocities.

Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a curved rectangular duct using Al2O3-water nanofluid
In the present research, the laminar forced convective heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics for Al2O3-water nanofluid flowing in different bend (i.e., 180o and 90o) pipes have been investigated numerically in a three-dimensional computational domain using the finite volume technique. The effects of different pertinent parameters, such as the Reynolds number of the duct, volume fraction ...
متن کاملInvestigation of flow and heat transfer of nanofluid in a diverging sinusoidal channel
Using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. Use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. In this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...

متن کاملOn Transonic Shocks in Two-Dimensional Variable-Area Ducts for Steady Euler System
This paper concerns transonic shocks in compressible inviscid flow passing a twodimensional variable-area duct for the complete steady Euler system. The flow is supersonic at the entrance of the duct, whose boundaries are slightly curved. The condition of impenetrability is posed on the boundaries. After crossing a nearly flat shock front, which passes through a fixed point on the boundary of t...
متن کاملControl of Nozzle Flow Using Microjets at Supersonic Mach Regime
This article reports the active control of base flows using the experimental procedure. Active control of base pressure helps in reducing the base drag in aerodynamic devices having suddenly expanded flows. Active control in the form of microjets having 0.5 mm radius placed at forty-five degrees apart is employed to control the base pressure. The Mach numbers of the present analysis are 1.7, 2....
