this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the removal process of fluid particles under the influence of mixed convection in a horizontal channel with an open cavity. the bottom wall of the cavity is heated at a constant temperature (th), while the top wall is maintained at a relatively low temperature (tc). fluid with a uniform velocity (uo) and temperature (tc) is introduced into...

An experimental investigation was carried out to study mixed convection heat transfer from Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a vertical, W-shaped, copper-tube with uniform wall temperature. The tests covered different ranges of some involved parameters including Reynolds number, temperature and particles volume fraction. The results showed that the rate of heat transfer coefficient improved with Rey...

this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the heat transfer performance and the removal process of fluid particles under the influence of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection in a horizontal channel with an open cavity. the bottom wall of the cavity is heated at a constant temperature (th) while the top wall of the channel is maintained at a relatively low temperature (tc). air wi...

natural convection between vertical parallel plates occurs frequently in applications such as solar collectors and cooling of electronic instruments. the problem is a two dimensional developing buoyant flow. in this work, the two dimensional conservation equations are solved numerically for constant wall temperature and constant wall heat flux. the results for the local nusselt number at the du...

This study examines the transient thermal response of a vertical electrically-heated wall during sensible heating of a turbulent wavy film. It is shown how the wall temperature can be decomposed into two components. The first is steady and accounts for the stream-wise increase in the wall and film temperatures, and the second is periodic and corresponds to temperature fluctuations due to the fi...

The engine inner wall surface temperature was measured by the plug blind-hole extrapolation, and multiple thermocouples were installed at different depths in the substrate. The engine wall extrapolation model of transient high temperature was established according to the basic principles of heat transfer. The transient temperatures were measured by thermocouples buried at different depths of th...

A novel algorithm has been developed for the nondestructive determination of the shape of the interface between a melt and a refractory material wall in smelter furnaces. This method uses measurements of temperature and heat flux at a number of points on the outer surface of the furnace, and assumes that the inner (guessed) surface of the furnace wall is isothermal. The temperature field is the...

The augment of heat transfer and fluid of buoyancy-driven flow of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a square cavity under the influence of an external magnetic field is studied numerically. Cold temperature is applied on the side (vertical) walls and high temperature is imposed on the bottom wall while the top wall is kept at thermally insulated. The governing non-dimensional differential equations are ...
