In this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a Pareto based Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of TiO2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. In this study there are four independent design variables: t...

A theoretical solution is presented for the forced convection heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid obeying the Giesekus constitutive equation in a concentric annulus under steady state, laminar, and purely tangential flow. A relative rotational motion exists between the inner and the outer cylinders, which induces the flow. A constant temperature was set in both cylinders, in this study. The f...

in this paper, the flow of couple stress fluid is investigated in a helical screw rheometer (hsr). by unwrapping the channel, lands, and the outside rotating barrel, the geometry of hsr is approximated as a shallow infinite channel. both one- and two-dimensional analysis of the problem is presented using rectangular coordinates. in either case an exact solution of the flow problem is presented ...

we prove the existence of steady 2-dimensional flows, containing a bounded vortex, and approaching a uniform flow at infinity. the data prescribed is the rearrangement class of the vorticity field. the corresponding stream function satisfies a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation. the result is proved by maximizing the kinetic energy over all flows whose vorticity fields are rearra...

Results of numerical simulations of matter flows in a semidetached binary system similar to the low-mass X-ray binary X1822–371 are presented. Three-dimensional modeling of the mass transfer gas dynamics makes it possible to investigate gas streams in the system and to study the influence of a common envelope. The presence of the common envelope leads to the absence of shock interaction between...

the present work is focused on the performance analysis of a 1.7 liter engine with turbocharger. the ultimate target is studying the response of the turbocharger to the inlet pulsating flow. such numerical analysis requires the time variation of pressure and velocity at turbine inlet. in order to achieve such information, one dimensional unsteady viscous compressible flow within a 1.7 liter tur...

two-dimensional euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. an upwind finite volume scheme, based on roes flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. using advancing front method, an initial delaunay triangulation has been made. the adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, acc...

Design models of multi- stage, axial flow compressor are developed for gas turbine engines. Axial flow compressor is one of the most important parts of gas turbine units. Therefore, its design and performance prediction are very important. One-dimensional modeling is a simple, fast and accurate method for performance prediction of any type of compressors with different geometries. In this appro...
