Experimental and Numerical Study of Free Convection on an Isothermal Downward Cone

Numerical simulation of Laminar Free Convection Heat Transfer around Isothermal Concave and Convex Body Shapes

In the present research, free convection heat transfer from isothermal concave and convex body shapes is studied numerically. The body shapes investigated here, are bi-sphere, cylinder, prolate and cylinder with hemispherical ends; besides, they have the same height over width (H/D = 2). A Numerical simulation is implemented to obtain heat transfer and fluid flow from all of the geometries in a...

Influence of varying timing angle on performance of an SI engine: An experimental and numerical study

Engine performance depends on two main factors of engine speed and ignition time. Ignition timing can affect engine life, fuel economy and engine power. In this paper, to study engine performance of Peugeot 206 TU3A with comparison ratio of 10.5:1 and displacement of 1361CC in MATLAB software, a two-zone burned/unburned model with the fuel burning rate described by aWiebe function was used for ...

Free Convection Heat Transfer from a Non-Isothermal Permeable Cone with Suction and Temperature-Dependent Viscosity

This work studies the free convection heat transfer from a non-isothermal permeable cone with suction and temperature-dependent viscosity. A suitable coordinate transformation is used to transform the governing equations into nonsimilar boundary layer solutions, and the cubic spline collocation method is then employed to solve the obtained governing equations. The local Nusselt number is presen...

Mixed convection on radiative unsteady Casson ferrofluid flow due to cone with Brownian motion and thermophoresis: A numerical study

In this study, the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects on the MHD ferrofluid flow over a cone with thermal radiation were discussed. Kerosene with the magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) was considered. A set of transformed governing nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. A simulation was performed by mixing ferrou...
