Terrestrial Heat Flow and Heat Generation in South-west England

Terrestrial Heat Flow

Terrestrial Heat Flow: Measurement in Lake Bottoms.

The feasibility of measuring terrestrial heat flow in lakes has been investigated in Lake Superior. The temperature gradient and thermal conductivity of the sediment were measured at each of four stations in water depths exceeding 250 meters. Consideration of the effects of climatic variations suggests that they may not seriously affect the values for heat flow obtained by this method. The valu...

Heat - Flow Heat - Flow Heat - Flow

Choosing between multiple ontological perspectives is crucial for reasoning about the physical world. Choosing the wrong perspective can make a reasoning task impossible. This paper introduces a Lagrangian plug flow ontology (PF) for reasoning about thermodynamic fluid flow. We show that this ontology captures continuously changing behaviors of flowing fluids not represented in currently implem...

Thermal Radiation, Buoyancy and Heat Generation Effects on Flow and Heat Transfer in Porous Medium

An analysis is carried out to study free convective flow and heat transfer of an viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a stretching sheet. Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using R-K Gill method along with shooting technique. Numerical results of the local of the local skin friction coefficient...

Entropy generation calculation for laminar fully developed forced flow and heat transfer of nanofluids inside annuli

In this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow andheat transfer of water-Al2O3 and ethylene glycol-Al2O3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. Thephysical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. Constant heatfluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flowand heat t...
