the main aim is to study the two dimensional axisymmetric problem of thick circular plate in modified couple stress theory with heat and mass diffusive sources. the thermoelastic theories with mass diffusion developed by sherief et al. [1] and kumar and kansal [2] have been used to investigate the problem. laplace and hankel transforms technique is applied to obtain the solutions of the governi...

In this study, we analysed the thermal performance, thermal stability and optimum design analyses of a longitudinal, rectangular fin with temperature-dependent, thermal properties and internal heat generation under multi-boiling heat transfer using Haar wavelet collocation method. The effects of the key and controlling parameters on the thermal performance of the fin are investigated. The therm...

temperature profile during the salting process play an important role in cheese quality since microbial and enzymatic activities, are thereby affected. in this work a three dimensional model was developed for heat transfer in the ultrafilterated cheese by using numerical solution of fourier's second law with finite difference method (explicit scheme) as a function of internal variable (che...

The present paper analyzes numerically the entropy generation induced by forced convection in a canonical configuration. The configuration itself includes two well known fluid dynamic problems: (1) an external flow (flow around a cylinder, Kármán flow); and (2) an internal flow (flow between two concentric rotating cylinders, Couette flow). In many daily engineering issues (e.g., cooling of ele...

in this paper, natural convection heat transfer over a vertical plate in a darcy porous medium saturated with a nanofluid subject to heat generation/absorption was theoretically studied. the governing partial differential equations were transformed to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and solved using finite difference method. the influence of parametric ...
