A magnetic hydrodynamic MHD of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet with electric and magnetic dissipation and nonuniform heat source/sink has been studied. The buoyant effect and the electric number E1 couple with magnetic parameter M to represent the dominance of the electric and magnetic effects, and adding the specific item of nonuniform heat source/sink is presented...

The heat transfer for a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a moving surface is investigated by applying a uniform suction/injection velocity profile. The flow is influenced by internal heat generation/absorption. The energy equation is solved at constant surface temperature condition. The Merk-Chao series is applied to obtain a set of ODEs instead of a complicated PDE. The converted ordinary diffe...

This study suggests using thermoelectric element to generate electric energy from the heat source efficiently. This generator system consists of a Heater, the Lower Heat Transfer Plate to absorb heat from the Heater, Two-Stage Thermoelectric Device module to generate the electric power with the heat transferred from the Lower Heat Transfer Plate, the Upper Heat Transfer Plate to convey the heat...

The scope of this paper is to present, both from a theoretical and a practical viewpoint, the problem of the thermal boundary-layer approximation for free convection flow in a porous medium bounded by a vertical flat plate (wall). The influence of the wall temperature and heat flux on the problem solution is discussed. We present numerical results for the problem of steady free convection using...

Simulated Thermal Response Test data are analyzed in order to evaluate the effect of the tridimensionality model’s feature in determining the proper value of the soil thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance, necessary for the geothermal energy storage systems’ design in real conditions. The 3D system’s simulation during the Thermal Response Test is realized by adopting the finite e...

this paper presents the new topology of three phase on line uninterruptible power supply (ups) by employing t-source inverter (tsi) with maximum constant boost pulse width modulation (pwm) control and the results are compared with the conventional uninterruptible power supply (ups). the conventional ups consists of voltage source inverter (vsi) with step up transformer or dc-dc booster which de...

Steady heat transfer through a pin fin is studied. Thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient, and the source or sink term are assumed to be temperature dependent. In the model considered, the source or sink term is given as an arbitrary function. We employ symmetry techniques to determine forms of the source or sink term for which the extra Lie point symmetries are admitted. Method of sep...

In this study a multi block procedure is implemented to solve accurately two-dimensional transient Inverse Heat Conduction Problems (IHCPs). The multi block method is implemented for geometric decomposition of physical domain into regions with blocked-interface structured grids. The Finite Element Method (FEM) with Galerkin weighting function is employed for direct solution of transient heat co...

  In this study, a new method for joining aluminum tubes in subsurface structures using steel converting and aluminum welding are presented and reviewed. But near the weld area is under high thermal cycle and will cause residual stresses in heat affected zone. Therefore for assessment of proposed connection from the perspective of residual stress by using the finite element method welding of tu...
