Numerical study of double-diffusive natural convective heat transfer in a curved cavity filledwith a porous medium has been carried out in the current study. Polar system has beenselected as coordinate system. As a result, all equations have been discredited in r and θdirections. Brinkmann extended Darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. Smaller and...

his investigation was carried out to reveal the impact of solar radiation on wind flow structure and pollutant dispersion in an urban street canyon of aspect ratio of one using the computational fluid dynamic (cfd) technique. the simulation results (velocity and concentration data) show that heating from building wall surfaces and ground lead to strong buoyancy forces as the air is heated by th...

Previous theoretical work has speculated about the existence of doublediffusive magnetic buoyancy instabilities of a dynamically evolving horizontal magnetic layer generated by the interaction of forced vertically sheared velocity and a background vertical magnetic field. Here we confirm numerically that if the ratio of the magnetic to thermal diffusivities is sufficiently low then such instabi...

the objective of the present study was to develop floating microspheres of cefpodoxime proxetil in order to achieve an extended retention in the upper git, which may result in enhanced absorption and thereby improved bioavailability. the microspheres were prepared by non-aqueous solvent evaporation method using polymers such as hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (hpmc k 15 m), ethyl cellulose in ...

Taking into account the effect of constant convective thermal and mass boundary conditions, we present numerical solution of the 2-D laminar g-jitter mixed convective boundary layer flow of water-based nanofluids. The governing transport equations are converted into non-similar equations using suitable transformations, before being solved numerically by an implicit finite difference method with...

Rotating convection is analysed numerically in a cylinder of aspect ratio one, for Prandtl number about 7. Traditionally, the problem has been studied within the Boussinesq approximation with density variation only incorporated in the gravitational buoyancy term and not in the centrifugal buoyancy term. In that limit, the governing equations admit a trivial conduction solution. However, the cen...

the problem of combined heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting fluid in mhdnatural convection adjacent to a vertical surface is analyzed, taking into account the effects of ohmic heatingin the presence of suction or injection. an approximate numerical solution for the steady laminar boundarylayerflow over a wall of the wedge in the presence of species concentration and mass diffus...

Ceramic-based hollow spheres are considered a great driving force for many applications such as offshore buoyancy modules due to their large diameter to wall thickness ratio and uniform wall thickness geometric features. We have developed such thin-walled hollow spheres made of alumina using slip casting and sintering processes. A diameter as large as 50 mm with a wall thickness of 0.5-1.0 mm h...
