Effect of Viscous Dissipation on Natural Convection in a Non-Darcy Po- rous Medium Saturated with Non-Newtonian Fluid of Variable Viscosity

چکیده
This paper investigates the influence of the effect of viscous dissipation and radiation on natural convection heat transfer from vertical flat plate in a non-Darcy porous media saturated with non-Newtonian fluid of variable viscosity. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature. The Ostwald–de Waele power law model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to follow Reynolds viscosity model. Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The governing equations in their non-similar form are solved numerically by local non-similarity method. The effects of variable viscosity, viscous dissipation, radiation and the power-law index parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as on the heat transfer coefficient are analyzed.

Non-Darcian Mixed Convection Flow in Vertical Composite Channels with Hybrid Boundary Conditions
In this article, the effects of viscous dissipation and inertial force on the velocity and temperature distributions of the mixed convection laminar flow in a vertical channel partly filled with a saturated porous medium have been studied. In this regard, the Brinkman–Forchheimer extended Darcy model was adopted for the fluid flow in the porous region. In addition, three different viscous dissi...

This paper investigates the influence of double dispersion and viscosity on natural convection heat and mass transfer from vertical cone in a non-Darcy porous medium saturated with non-Newtonian fluid. The surface of the cone and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration. The Ostwald-de Waele power law model is used to characterize the n...
متن کاملModeling and Analysis of Viscous Dissipation Phenomenon on Temperature Distribution in the Process of Injection Explosive Fluid
The explosive viscous liquid becomes inject to warhead by discharge system. The injection device is consisted of a piston to move down and leads the viscous fluid through the cylindrical pipe towards the end of the duct. Then the viscous fluid leads into a convergent path that will be injected to the warhead or other injection equipment. In this project, the path of viscous fluid flow is divide...

متن کاملEntropy generation analysis of non-newtonian fluid in rotational flow
The entropy generation analysis of non-Newtonian fluid in rotational flow between two concentric cylinders is examined when the outer cylinder is fixed and the inner cylinder is revolved with a constant angular speed. The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid is considered at the same time interdependent on temperature and shear rate. The Nahme law and Carreau equation are used to modeling dependenc...
