Three-Dimensional Transient Heat Conduction Analysis with Non-Linear Boundary Conditions by Boundary Element Method

Transient heat conduction analysis of 3D solids with fiber inclusions using the boundary element method

A boundary element formulation is presented in this work for transient heat conduction analysis of threedimensional (3D) fiber-reinforced materials. The cylindrical-shaped fibers in a 3D matrix are idealized by a system of curvilinear line elements with a prescribed diameter. The variations in the temperature and flux fields in the circumferential direction are represented in terms of a trigono...

Three-Dimensional Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer of a Dusty Fluid Towards a Stretching Sheet with Convective Boundary Conditions

The steady three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid towards a stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions is investigated by using similarity solution approach. The free stream along z-direction impinges on the stretching sheet to produce a flow with different velocity components. The governing equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations b...

Entropy Generation Analysis of Transient Heat Conduction in a Solid Slab with Fixed Temperature Boundary Conditions

Analysis of entropy generation rate for transient heat conduction, taking place in homogeneous solid slab with fixed temperature boundary conditions, is presented. The initial condition is defined as a constant temperature. The exact solution is solved and used to analyze the local and total entropy generation rates. Two cases, heating and cooling processes, are considered in this study. It is ...
