double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with al2o3-water is numerically investigated. two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. the equations are solved using simpler algorithm. the results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the richardson number...

flow field and heat transfer of a nanofluid, whose non-newtonian behavior has been demonstrated in the laboratory, in a square enclosure have been numerically modeled and investigated. to estimate the viscosity of nanofluid, experimental data of hong and kim, 2012 have been used, and a new model has been proposed. finally, the obtained results have been compared to those of newtonian behavior. ...

in this paper the effect of using various models for conductivity and viscosity considering brownian motion of nanoparticles is investigated. this study is numerically conducted inside a cavity full of water-al2o3 nanofluid at the case of mixed convection heat transfer. the effect of some parameters such as the nanoparticle volume fraction, rayleigh, richardson and reynolds numbers has been exa...

this paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. the inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall. entr...

This work studies the mixed convection heat transfer from a vertical plate in bidisperse porous media with constant wall temperature. The two-velocity two-temperature model is used to derive the governing equations. The effects of the mixed convection parameter, the inter-phase heat transfer parameter, the modified thermal conductivity ratio, and the permeability ratio on the heat transfer and ...

A numerical investigation has been carried out for mixed convection flow in a rectangularventilated cavity with a heat conducting solid circular cylinder at the center. Forced convection flowconditions were imposed by providing an inlet at the bottom of the left wall and an outlet vent at the topto the other sidewall. In this paper, the effect of cavity aspect ratio as well as the mixed convect...

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...

: This paper gives a comprehensive overview and understanding related with mixed convection in cylinders. About onehundred papers which are published in different local and international journals and conferences started from the past decade until the recent years are collected and described in various sections to give both researchers and readers a good overview and a solid background about mix...

This paper aims to renew interest on mixed thermal convection research and to emphasize three issues that arise from the present analysis: (i) a clear definition of the reference temperature in the Boussinesq approximation; (ii) a practical delimitation of the three convective modes, which are the forced convection (FC), mixed convection (MC) and natural (or free) convection (NC); (iii) and, fi...
