Turbulent heat transfer and hybrid Al2O3-Cu-nanofluid over vertical double forward facing-step is numerically conducted. The k-? standard model based on finite volume method in 2-D are applied to investigate the influences of Reynolds number, step height, fractions thermal performance. In this paper, different heights for three cases forward-facing adopted by five (Al2O3-Cu-water) nanofluid var...

Lebanon has been considered a sample of Europe in the Middle East, and it is surprising to have an Islamic resistance against Israel in this small modern country. The Islamic Resistance was, at the beginning, portrayed as having a very different ideology from that of the neighboring countries of the Middle East. This Resistance was established on the basis of being a resistance model for the fr...

This study presents 2-D simulations of a flow-through sudden expansion/contraction micro-channel with the existence obstacles. The bottom wall is maintained at constant flux, while other walls are adiabatic. Rectangular adiabatic obstacles mounted before expansion region on upper and lower channel used. finite element method was used to discretize equations that govern physical model. Results i...

The flow separation taking place over the forward-facing step is measured by high-resolution PIV using long-range microscope. The step has height of h=10 mm and the free stream velocity is 20 m/s, resulting in a Reynolds number of Reh=13,700. Two separation bubbles are produced in the immediate upstream and downstream of the step respectively. The upstream separation has a length of 0.6h, while...
