An analysis is presented for the problem of the fully developed natural convection under the influence of micropolar fluid flow of heat and mass transfer in a vertical channel. Asymmetric temperature and convection boundary conditions are applied to the walls of the channel. Solutions of the coupled nonlinear governing equations are obtained for different values of the buoyancy ratio and variou...

In this paper, the findings from a field study of thermal performance low-energy dwelling are presented and discussed. The aimed at evaluating precision accuracy QUB/e method in under UK climatic conditions. A series situ measurements were carried out detached house located University Park campus, Nottingham to determine both whole building Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) transmittances (U-valu...

The nature of the zero-temperature ordering transition in the three-dimensional Gaussian random-field Ising magnet is studied numerically, aided by scaling analyses. Various numerical calculations are used to consistently infer the location of the transition to a high precision. A variety of boundary conditions are imposed on large samples to study the order of the transition and the number of ...

The present study investigates the peristaltic flow of couple stress fluid in a non-uniform rectangular duct with compliant walls. Mathematical modeling is based upon the laws of mass and linear momentum. Analytic solutions are carried out by the eigen function expansion method under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number approximations. The features of the flow characteristics are analyzed by...

Radial elastic corrugation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure is demonstrated by using the continuum elastic theory. Various corrugation patterns are observed under a pressure of several GPa, wherein the stable cross-sectional shape depends on the innermost tube diameter D and the total number N of concentric walls. A phase diagram is established to obtain the requisite ...
