An analysis of heat transfer in the flow of a viscous, in-compressible fluid along an infinite porous plate is presented when the plate is subjected to a transverse sinusoidal suction. The flow field becomes three-dimensional due to this type of suction velocity. Expressions for the flow and temperature fields are obtained by series expansion method. It is found during the course of discussion ...

the present paper deals with the prediction of three-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in rib-roughened ducts of square cross-section. such flows are of direct relevance to the internal cooling system of modern gas turbine blades. the main objective is to assess how a recently developed variant of a cubic non-linear model (proposed by craft et al. (1999)), that has been shown to produce ...

nowadays, with the industry development, a lot of waste is produced damaging the environment. among wastewater treatment methods, anaerobic techniques have been highly regarded due to numerous advantages. in anaerobic systems, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) reactor has many features. in this study using computational fluid dynamics techniques, three-phase reactor hydrodynamics in two an...

Influence of a vent hood at the exit of exhaust flue gas and flue baffles in the firetube on the temperature and flow fields of a gas tank water heater, as well as thestructure and amount of heat transferred to the water tank has been studiednumerically using two-dimensional steady state finite element simulation.Observations show that without a vent hood, there is a downward gas flow in theflu...

Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) peristaltic flow of a Couple Stress Fluid through a permeable channel is examined in this investigation. The flow analysis is performed in the presence of an External Magnetic Field. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is implemented. Mathematical expressions of axial velocity, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained. Pressure rise, frictional f...
