Numerical simulation was performed to analyze flow field and heat transfer developed inside a deep-channel, single-screw cheese stretcher channel. Modifications to the traditional flat-plate model of single-screw extruder geometry were applied to address flight effects and channel curvature effects. The finite difference and finite element methods were used to obtain numerical solutions to the ...

In this article, the effects of viscous dissipation and inertial force on the velocity and temperature distributions of the mixed convection laminar flow in a vertical channel partly filled with a saturated porous medium have been studied. In this regard, the Brinkman–Forchheimer extended Darcy model was adopted for the fluid flow in the porous region. In addition, three different viscous dissi...

Low-temperature plastic flow in TRIP steels has been found to be controlled by stress-assisted isothermal martensitic transformation. For these conditions, the thermodynamics and kinetic theory of martensitic transformations leads directly to constitutive relations predicting the dependence of flow stress on temperature, strain, strain-rate, and stress-state, consistent with the observed behavi...

Non-isothermal stagnation-point flow with consideration of thermal radiation is studied numerically. A set of partial differential equations that governing the fluid flow and energy is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations which is solved by Runge-Kutta method with shooting algorithm. Dimensionless wall temperature gradient and temperature boundary layer thickness for differen...

Combined radiation and natural convection within the annular region of two infinitely long horizontal concentric cylinders are investigated numerically in this research. Radial and tangential radiation effects ate considered using Milne-Eddington approximation for a two-dimensional radiative transfer. The basic conservation equations are discretized with the finite volume method and SIMPLER alg...

The global entropy generation rate in the zero-mean oscillatory flow of a Maxwell fluid in a pipe is analyzed with the aim of determining its behavior at resonant flow conditions. This quantity is calculated explicitly using the analytic expression for the velocity field and assuming isothermal conditions. The global entropy generation rate shows well-defined peaks at the resonant frequencies w...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed and forced convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear-flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of a boundary layer variable which is directly proportional to the time variable ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a phenomenon in which cracks propagate through the porous medium due to high pore fluid pressure. Hydraulic fracturing appears in different engineering disciplines either as a destructive phenomenon or as a useful technique. Modeling of this phenomenon in isothermal condition requires analysis of soil deformation, crack and pore fluid pressure interactions. In this paper...

We consider non-isothermal torsional flow between two coaxial parallel plates with heat transfer at the upper rotating plate, constant temperature on the lower stationary plate, and no heat loss at the fluid-air interface. Viscous heating is modelled by a Nahme law with exponential dependence on temperature. Due to the highly nonlinear nature of the governing equations an exact solution is not ...

The deformation behavior of Ti-3.5Al-5Mo-6V-3Cr-2Sn-0.5Fe high strength β titanium alloy is systematically investigated by isothermal compression in α + β field with the deformation temperatures ranging from 1003 K to 1078 K, the strain rates ranging from 0.001 s to 1 s and the height reduction is around 50%. Essentially, the flow stress-strain curve of isothermal compression in α + β field exh...
