The purpose of this study is to investigate the behaviour natural convection in a wavy trapezoidal enclosure that filled with nanofluid. left wall has wavelength, l, and amplitude, A. top bottom walls are adiabatic while side set constant temperature, shear stress occurs at enclosure. numerical approach used order discretize governing equations its boundary conditions finite element method wher...

For thermal mixed-convection flows, the Nusselt number is a function of Reynolds number, Grashof number and the angle between the forcedand natural-convection directions. We consider flow over a heated cylinder for which there is no universal correlation that accurately predicts Nusselt number as a function of these parameters, especially in opposing-convection flows, where the natural convecti...

A problem of flow and heat transfer in a non-Newtonian Maxwell liquid film over an unsteady stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of a thermal radiation is investigated. The unsteady boundary layer equations describing the problem are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations which is solved numerically using the shooting method. The effects of...

The rising demand for efficient cooling technologies is a strong driver of extensive research in this area. This trend particularly turbines and microprocessors technology. Presented study focused on the jet impingement concept, which used various configurations many years. potential heat sink shape modification not yet fully explored. Available literature suggests that average Nusselt number c...

In this manuscript, the LBM is applied for simulating of Mixed Convection in a Lid-Driven cavity with an open side. The cavity horizontal walls are insulated while the west Lid-driven wall is maintained at a uniform temperature higher than the ambient. Prandtl number (Pr) is fixed to 0.71 (air) while Reynolds number (Re) , Richardson number (Ri) and aspect ratio (A) of the cavity are changed in...

The interaction of thermal radiation with conduction and laminar natural convection in a vertical circular pin, situated at participating gas, is numerically investigated. An absorbing and emitting gas is considered, and treated to be a gray participating media. Under the idealizing of gray gas, the Rosselan4 approximation is employed to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. ...

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...
