In this paper, by introducing a different distribution function and starting from the Boltzmann equation as well as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, we obtain a Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation for thermal flows with viscous heat dissipation in the incompressible limit. The continuous thermal BGK model is then discretized over both time and phase space to form a lattice BGK mod...

Using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. Use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. In this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...

the present experimental study reports on enhancement of heat transfer by addition of nanoparticles to the working fluid of commercial swimming pool heat exchangers under laminar flow condition. three different concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles were added to the water as working fluid of a typical forced convective heat exchanger used to transfer heat to public swimming pools. th...

Fouling is a common, fundamental and costly problem in heat transfer systems, which reduces thermal efficiency of equipment, increases the energy loss and causes strong damage to the heat transfer equipment in various industries. The main causes of fouling on the heat transfer surfaces are salts with inverse temperature-solubility in the fluid which calcium sulfate is one of the most important ...

A numerical model combining the ultrafast radiative heat transfer and ablation rate equation for free electron density is proposed to investigate the transient process of plasma formation in distilled water. The focused beam propagation governed by the transient equation of radiative heat transfer is solved by the transient discrete ordinates method. The temporal evolution of free electron dens...

The first considered problem is the problem of arising dynamic dissipative structures in the chemical reactor volume. The mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in the tubular through-reactors has been submitted. The model consists of the diffusion-kinetic equations for two reagents under the first-order reversible reaction and heat transfer equation with allowance for the latent heat of ...

in this numerical study the the heat transfer and laminar nanofluid flow in the three-dimensional microchannels with triangular cross-section is simulated. for increase the heat transfer from the walls of the channel, semiattached & offset mid- truncated rib,s placed in the canal, and the tooth geometry and the impact is studied. in this study, the water is base fluid, and the influence of the ...

This investigation presents a mathematical model describing the momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic MHD flow and heat generating/absorbing fluid near a stagnation point of an isothermal two-dimensional body of an axisymmetric body. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The series solution is obtained for the resulti...
