Steady incompressible flow around a circular cylinder in an external magnetic field that is aligned with fluid flow direction is studied for Re (Reynolds number) up to 40 and the interaction parameter in the range 0 ≤N ≤ 15 (or 0 ≤M ≤ 30), where M is the Hartmann number related to N by the relation M = √2N Re, using finite difference method. The pressure-Poisson equation is solved to find press...

When the stagnation temperature increases, the specific heat does not remain constant and start to vary with this temperature. The gas is perfect, it ’ s state equation remains always valid, except, it was called by gas calorically imperfect or gas at high temperatures. The purpose of this work is to develop a mathematical model for a normal shock wave normal at high temperature when the stagna...

This paper examines the phenomenon of real-income stagnation (in which realincome growth is negligible or negative for a sizable uninterrupted sequence of years). It analyzes data for four decades from a large cross-section of countries. Real income stagnation is a conceptually distinct phenomenon from low average growth and other features of the growth sequence that have been held to be of int...

A new turbulent, premixed, stagnation swirl flame (SSF) is used to synthesize titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowders. Synthesis conditions under two flame modes, i.e., burnerand substrate-stabilized SSF, are investigated, for the same equivalence ratio, but different inert-dilution ratios. The particles (collected on the substrate) have high anatase purity, with mean diameters of 5–10 nm, determin...

We report the results of an experimental and numerical study of the creation of stagnation points in a rotating cylinder of fluid where one endwall is rotated. Good agreement is found with previous results where the stagnation points are formed on the free core of the primary columnar vortex. The effect of adding a small cylinder along the center of the flow is then investigated and the phenome...

An idealized geometry corresponding to a premixed flame in stagnation-point flow is used to investigate the effects of catalysis on extending the extinction limits of nonadiabatic stretched flames. Specifically, a surface catalytic reaction is assumed to occur on the stagnation plane, thereby augmenting combustion in the bulk gas with an exothermic surface reaction characterized by a reduced ac...

One device used to measure rate constants is the IAsys, and the flow in such a device can be modeled as stagnation point flow. Due to the special nature of the flow, the effects of transport on a surface reaction near a stagnation point may be incorporated exactly as long as the initial concentration of bound state is uniform. However, if the bound state is nonuniform initially, a complicated i...
