A new method for the computation of flows at the micrometer scale is presented. It is based on the recently introduced minimal entropic kinetic models. Both the thermal and isothermal families of minimal models are presented, and the simplest isothermal entropic lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (ELBGK) is studied in detail in order to quantify its relevance for microflow simulations. ELBGK is equi...

In the present work, the isothermal compression tests of Al–0.62Mg–0.73Si aluminum alloy were carried out by using the Gleeble-1500D thermo-simulation machine. The samples were tested in the temperature range of 410–510°C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s−1. Based on the obtained stress–strain curves, the hot deformation behavior was presented. The constitutive relationship of Al–0.62Mg–0.73Si...

Unsteady mixed convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder has been investigated in the presence of viscous dissipation. The isothermal horizontal cylinder is placed to the oncoming free stream whose direction is considered in the free convection flow (parallel flow) and opposite to it (contra flow). The system of dimensionless governing equations for unsteady, two-dimensional flow is red...

at present study the flow and heat transfer of non-newtonian nanofluid, aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose-aluminum oxide with different volume fractions of nano particles in a two dimensional microtube is simulated for the first time. slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions are also considered along the microtube walls. the achieved results accuracy is investigated by c...

Abstract: Non-isothermal flow through a rotating curved duct with square cross section is studied numerically by using the spectral method, and covering a wide range of the Taylor number, Tr, 2000 0   Tr and Dean number, , Dn 0Dn 2000. A temperature difference is applied across the vertical sidewalls for Grashof number Gr = 500, where the outer wall is heated and the inner one cooled. The r...

Two industrial ASTM Portland cements were carefully tested for heat of hydration (HOH) continuously up to 7 days at 23o C using isothermal conduction calorimetry in accordance to ASTM C1702. Internal and external mixing procedures were implemented. The results for HOH measurements at 7 days using isothermal calorimetry were compared to those obtained through heat of solution method (ASTM C186)....

The method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been used in previous studies of steady natural convection flow, is extended here to transient natural convection flow at high Prandtl number (Pr). Second-order expansion solutions, valid for large Prandtl numbers, are presented for the transient natural convection flow near a vertical surface which undergoes a step change in temperature. T...

The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...

To increase the numerical accuracy in solving engineering problems, either conventional methods on a fine grid or methods with a high order of accuracy on a coarse grid can be used. In the present research, the second approach is utilized and the arbitrary high order Discontinues Galerkin Arbitrary DERivative (DG-ADER) method is applied to analyze the transient isothermal flow of natural gas th...
