In this work, the steady and laminar mixed convection of nanofluid in horizontal concentric annulus withrotating inner cylinder is investigated numerically. The inner and outer cylinders are kept at constanttemperature Ti and To respectively, where Ti>To. The annular space is filled with Alumina-water nanofluid.The governing equations with the corresponded boundary conditions in the polar coord...

[1] At the temperatures and stresses associated with the onset of convection in an ice I shell of the Galilean satellites, ice behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid with a viscosity that depends on both temperature and strain rate. The convective stability of a non-Newtonian ice shell can be judged by comparing the Rayleigh number of the shell to a critical value. Previous studies suggest that the c...

To circumvent issue of Rayleigh noise reduction in wavelength-divisionmultiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON), we provide an insight into the source of Rayleigh noise, and confirm that the suppression of carrier Rayleigh backscattering (RB) should be the primary target in the design of Rayleigh noise-resilient upstream receiver module. This paper studies an alternative network architectur...
