laminar mixed convection of aluminium oxide (al2o3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. all the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient, except density in the bo...

the fluid flow and heat transfer in lid-driven enclosures filled with cu-water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the moving vertical walls of the enclosure  are maintained in a constant temperature, while the horizontal walls are insulated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity field and pressure in the momentum...

mixed convection is a fundamentally significant heat transfer mechanism that occurs in selection industrial and technological applications. in this study, first the laminar mixed convection inside rectangular enclosure with moving wall and aspect ratio=10 is modeled and then the results are compared with other investigate. after showing varity of results, the investigation is continued with tur...

a numerical investigation of laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a shallow two-sided lid driven rectangular enclosure of aspect ratio 5, (ar=5) is executed. the natural convection effect is sustained by subjecting the bottom wall to a higher temperature than its top counterpart. in addition, the two horizontal walls of the enclosure are moving in different directions and the two vertical ...

in this study, mixed convection heat transfer and local and global entropy generation in aventilated square cavity have been investigated numerically. the natural convection effect isachieved by a constant heat flux imposed at the bottom wall and cooled by injecting a coldfollow. in order to investigate the effect of port location, four different placementconfigurations of the inlet and outlet ...

This article presents numerical analysis of mixed convection laminar flow of a second grade viscoelastic fluid due to cylinder of elliptic cross-section with prescribed surface heat flux. Dimensionless nonlinear analysis is computed employing Keller-box method. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are emphasized specifically. These quantities are displayed graphically to examine their b...

The problem of steady, laminar, mixed convection flow of a non-Newtonian fluid past a preamble vertical flat plate embedded in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid is considered. A mixed convection parameter for the entire range of free-forced-mixed convection is employed and a set of non-similar equations are obtained. These equations are solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iter...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the laminar mixed convection flow of a radiating gas in an inclined lid-driven cavity. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium. The governing differential equations including continuity, momentum and energy are solved numerically by the computational fluid dynamics techniques (CFD) to obtain the velocity and tem...

Taking into account the effect of constant convective thermal and mass boundary conditions, we present numerical solution of the 2-D laminar g-jitter mixed convective boundary layer flow of water-based nanofluids. The governing transport equations are converted into non-similar equations using suitable transformations, before being solved numerically by an implicit finite difference method with...
