Incorporation of momentum gradients produced due to inertial motion the lid along with presence temperature differences in configuration make physical problem more significant. The joint variation and thermal diffusion diversified natural liquids is recognized as mixed convection. Valuable attention has been received by such a phenomenon different areas science technology wind current–based sol...

Abstract This paper examines the influence of the internal resistance of a Helmholtz resonator on the noise control in a small enclosure. The absorptive process mainly occurring within the neck of a Helmholtz resonator provides the resonator w...

in the present study, mixed convection laminar flow around an adiabatic body in a lid-driven enclosure filled with nanofluid using variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity is numerically investigated. the fluid around the body in the enclosure is a water-based nanofluid containing al2o3 nanoparticles. the vertical enclosure’s walls are maintained at constant cold temperature and the...

The portable generators are the main means of compensating the shortage of national electricity power as in Iraq. However, their noise causes a huge disturbance, uncomforting and loss of concentration of the nearby resident. This problem requires a solution because most shops and residential houses use generators. Covering method is a simple and relatively low cost one for reduction of generato...

During the construction of a concrete structure, strength monitoring is important to ensure the safety of both personnel and the structure. Furthermore, to increase the efficiency of in situ casting or precast of concrete, determining the optimal time of demolding is important for concrete suppliers. Surface bonded lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers have been used for damage detection an...

The effect of radiation on laminar and turbulent mixed convection heat transfer of a semitransparent medium in a square enclosure was studied numerically using the Finite Volume Method. A structured mesh and the SIMPLE algorithm were utilized to model the governing equations. Turbulence and radiation were modeled with the RNG k-ε model and Discrete Ordinates (DO) model, respectively. For Richar...

Abstract In this paper a numerical study of natural convection stationary laminar heat transfers in horizontal ring between heated square inner cylinder and cold elliptical outer is presented. A Cu-water nanofluid flows through annular space. Different values the Rayleigh number volume fraction nanoparticles are studied. The system equations governing problem was solved numerically by fluent ca...
