We consider an axisymmetric inverse heat conduction problem of determining the surface temperature from a fixed location inside a cylinder. This problem is ill-posed; the solution if it exists does not depend continuously on the data. A special project method—dual least squares method generated by the family of Shannon wavelet is applied to formulate regularized solution. Meanwhile, an order op...

An analysis is carried out for axisymmetric stagnation flow of a micropolar nanofluid in a moving cylinder with finite radius. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of the problem are simplified with the help of similarity transformations and the resulting coupled nonlinear differential equations are solved analytically by homotopy analysis method HAM . The features of the flow p...

In this paper heat transfer of non-Newtonian fluid flow in an axisymmetric channel with porous wall is analyzed. Variational Iteration Method is used to get complete analytic solution for velocity and temperature profiles. Results show an acceptable agreement between this method results and numerical solution.Also the effects of different parameters are discussed through graphs. It can be found...

In this paper, the general solution of steady-state two-dimensional non-axisymmetric mechanical and thermal stresses and mechanical displacements of a hollow thick cylinder made of fluid-saturated functionally graded porous material (FGPM) is presented. The general form of thermal and mechanical boundary conditions is considered on the inside and outside surfaces. A direct method is used to sol...

A novel pressure sensor is investigated numerically. Operation of this sensor is determined by mechanical stresses and heat exchange. Estimation of deformations and heat transfer was done using programs ANSYS and ANSYS CFX. Numerical model was calibrated to fit experimental results. Conclusions about significance of heat exchange, thermal stresses and overall action of sensor were made. 1. Gene...
