چکیده
The aim of this paper is the theoretical estimations for boundary layer thickness and heat transfer coefficient which is analysed using CFD with certain parametric functions and partial differential equations as well. Along with it the feasibility of the convective heat transfer coefficient for the calculations examined during their rendering certainty with CFD methods. The equations have been taken in validating and iterating the values achieved during the grid sensitivity analysis of the determination of convective heat transfer coefficients. For other coefficients the validation is done through analytical solution. While taking the accountability of the approach the local nusselt numbers as well as prandtl numbers are obtained which can be used in the analysis of flow. The results tell us that for the laminar forced convection simulations the convective heat transfer coefficients differed from analytical values by 7%

متن کاملFluid 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) ...

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...
