An analytical study of free convection flow near an impulsively started infinite vertical plate with Newtonian heating in the presence of thermal radiation and constant mass diffusion was performed. The mathematical model reduced to a system of coupled linear partial differential equations for the velocity, the temperature, and the concentration; the closed-form exact solutions were obtained by...

The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and three-dimensional behavior of the flow in a mixed flow pump and the way cavitation phenomenon is affected by different parameters such as fluid temperature, pump speed and flow rate. Computational fluid dynamic software FLUENT 6.3 was utilized to simulate the whole flow field of the pump. RNG k-ε model combined with standard wall f...

We propose a scenario in which a large fraction, or even most, of the gas cooling to low temperatures of T < 10 K in cooling flow clusters, directly gains energy from the central black hole. Most of the cool gas is accelerated to nonrelativistic high velocities, vj ≃ 10 3 − 10 km s, after flowing through, or close to, an accretion disk around the central black hole. A poorly collimated wind (or...

We describe some interesting effects observed during the evolution of nonequilibrium systems, using domain growth and glassy systems as examples. We breafly discuss the analytical tools that have been recently used to study the dynamics of these systems. We mainly concentrate on one of the results obtained from this study, the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and we discuss, in ...

Present status of experiments on zonal flows is overviewed. Innovative use of traditional and modern diagnostics has revealed unambiguously the existence of zonal flows, their spatio-temporal characteristics, their relationship with turbulence, and their effects on confinement. Particularly, a number of observations have been accumulated on the oscillatory branch of zonal flows, dubbed geodesic...

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...

full factorial experimental design (23) for the evaluation of slurry ethylene polymerization in the presence of an industrial ticl4/mgcl2 ziegler-natta catalyst was employed. the following parameters were used as independentvariables: al/ti molar ratio, reaction temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. the total polymerization pressure was 9 bar. catalyst activity, mfi (melt flow index) and m...
