The present work investigates turbulent velocity and temperature fields subject to strong wall injection in a channel using a Direct Numerical Simulation technique. A simplified model problem of the internal flows inside the hybrid rocket motors where a regression process at the wall is idealized by the wall blowing has been considered to gain a better understanding of how the turbulent structu...

In the process of molecular dynamics simulation studies of gold nanowires an interesting structure is discovered. This is a finite double-wall nanowire with a large empty core similar to single-wall and double-wall carbon nanotubes. The structure of the 16−10 gold nanotube is studied at the room temperature. An investigation of the high-temperature stability has also been carried out. An unusua...

In this paper, we present results obtained by using a numerical procedure for the free convection flow along a rotating nonisothermal plate subject to a nonuniform gravity field. Several specific forms for the temperature distributions of the plate are considered. For these instances the skin-friction and heat transfer rate on the wall at selected values ofthe distance from the leading edge and...

in this paper, free convection in an inclined stepped chamber has been studied. one wall of this enclosure is kept cold and the opposite wall equipped with constant heat source. the remaining walls are maintained adiabatic. there is one adiabatic step on the bottom wall. the aim of the present study is to forecast the effect of raleigh number, slope of enclosure, step dimension, and heat source...

This work concerns dryout experiments in which a tube, initially containing water, filled up or partially filled and at 1,2 or 3 atmosphere pressures, is heated. The initial water column experience three thermal regions. The first region, called the first period, involves heating of the tube until saturation conditions are obtained in the water. Boiling of the water in the tube causes swelling ...

In film cooling heat transfer analysis, one of the core concepts is to deem film cooled adiabatic wall temperature (Taw) as the driving potential for the actual heat flux over the filmcooled surface. Theoretically, the concept of treating Taw as the driving temperature potential is drawn from compressible flow theory when viscous dissipation becomes the heat source near the wall and creates hig...

The study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting visco-elastic second grade fluid in a porous medium past a stretching sheet is conducting with power law surface temperature or power law surface heat flux. The flow in boundary layer is considered to be generated solely by the linear stretching of the boundary sheet adjacent to porous medium in a magnetic field wi...

We present a three-dimensional mathematical model for the study of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with blood flow for varicose vein. The model designed to analyze temperature distribution heated by radiofrequency energy and cooled by blood flow includes a cylindrically symmetric blood vessel with a homogeneous vein wall. The simulated blood velocity conditions are U = 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 4...

In this letter we obtain the finite-temperature structure of 180◦ domain walls in PbTiO3 using a quasi-harmonic–lattice dynamics approach. We obtain the temperature dependence of the atomic structure of domain walls from 0K up to room temperature. We also show that both Pb-centered and Ti-centered 180◦ domain walls are thicker at room temperature; domain wall thickness at T = 300K is about thre...
