The primary theme of this communication is to employ convective condition of mass transfer in the theory of peristalsis. The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic transport of viscous liquid in an asymmetric channel was considered for this purpose. Effects of Ohmic heating and Soret and Dufour are presented. The governing mathematical model was expressed in terms of closed form solution express...

in this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. the effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the height o...

introduction: frying phenomena occur during the immersion of the product in oil at a temperature of 150–200 ºc, where a simultaneous heat and mass transfer take place. this is the most popular thermal processes of potato cooking. this fast drying is critical to improve the mechanical and structural properties of the final product. these conditions lead to high heat transfer rates, rapid cooking...

Flow characteristics and heat transfer of a water droplets laden flow behind a backward-facing step have been experimentally and numerically investigated for the condition of isothermally heated dry wall. Two sizes of step heights were employed corresponding to ReH = 5.3x103, 1.1x104. Water droplets of about 60 μm in mean diameter and small fine mist of less than 1 mm as a tracer of air flow we...

1 Fellow, ASME Abstract A semi-empirical model for conduction/convection in a thin “fin-like” porous wall of arbitrary composition and thickness is developed. The model assumes one-dimensional conduction in the porous matrix and one-dimensional flow of the coolant through the wall. Closed form solutions are obtained for a uniform composition and thickness porous wall having an insulated tip. An...

We present an immersed boundary method for mass transfer across permeable deformable moving interfaces interacting with the surrounding fluids. One of the key features of our method is the introduction of the mass flux as an independent variable, governed by a non-standard vector transport equation. The flux equation, coupled with the mass transport and the fluid flow equations, allows for a na...

Forced convective condensation in vertical channel is investigated numerically. The condensation boundary layers that occur due to temperature difference between the walls and saturation temperature of steam is simulated by the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The effect of variations in the hydraulic diameter, steam velocity, Re number and temperature difference between the wall and saturation te...

The primary objective of present investigation is to introduce the novel aspect of thermophoresis in the mixed convective peristaltic transport of viscous nanofluid. Viscous dissipation and Joule heating are also taken into account. Problem is modeled using the lubrication approach. Resulting system of equations is solved numerically. Effects of sundry parameters on the velocity, temperature, c...

A numerical method to simulate liquid-vapor phase change is presented. The method is based on the so-called single eld formulation where one set of equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and energy are written for the entire ow eld. Interfacial source terms for surface tension, interphase mass transfer and latent heat are added as delta functions that are non-zero only at the phase bound...
