This phenomenon has altered pure forced convection to a combination of heat conduction and heat convection in a flow over a plate.

Fins are protrusions on a heat transfer surface to augment heat transfer rate from it. The increase in area exposed to convection in case of finned surfaces results in increased heat transfer rate. In this study heat transfer characteristics of a pin fin with perforation is numerically analyzed. A pin fin is fabricated and experiments are done under forced convection conditions. The experimenta...

in this paper, convection heat transfer of al2o3-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. for each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. the governing equations in steady state and axisymme...

In this paper, mixed forced and natural convection heat transfer in a rectangular cavity has been numerically studied. the cavity receives a uniform heat flux from one side and is ventilated with a uniform external flow. The external flow enters the cavity from the heated side and leaves the cavity from the opposite side. The velocity and temperature fields and heat transfer rate are determined...

in this paper, the problem of turbulent forced convection flow of water- alumina nanofluid in a uniformly heated pipe has been thoroughly investigated. in numerical study, single and two-phase models have been used. in single-phase modeling of nanofluid, thermal and flow properties of nanofluid have been considered to be dependent on temperature and volume fraction. effects of volume fraction a...

force convection heat transfer of turbulent nano fluid flow in 90 and 60 degree elbow is simulated by using fluent. single phase model has been implemented to study such a flow field and standard

In the present work, an inverse analysis of combined radiation and laminar forced convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional channel with variable cross sections is performed. The conjugate gradient method is used to find the temperature distribution over the heater surface to satisfy the prescribed temperature and heat flux distributions over the design surface. The fluid is considered to b...
