This paper investigates 3D simulation of fluid flow in a centrifugal pump from the Detroit Diesel company to extract possible engine cooling trends.  The velocity and pressure profile of water, the coolant, is analyzed and the characteristic curves of the pump are derived. This provides a useful evaluation of the pump performance at all working conditions. For this aim, a computational fluid dy...

In this research various nonlinear fluid models have been introduced and the balloon movement in the porous arteries, including third-order non-Newtonian fluid, is described under the influence of the magnetic field. In order to solve the nonlinear equations governing the desired artery, an analytical method of approximation collocation and least squares are proposed. The effect of various para...

in this paper, the effects of baffle on thermal characteristics of combined convection-radiation heat transfer in laminar flow adjacent to an inclined backward facing step (bfs) in a horizontal duct are investigated. a baffle is mounted on the top wall of channel downstream side of step. in this study, the fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium; therefore, in the ...

conclusion results reinforced the pivotal role of vascular geometry, with respect to hemodynamics, together with the importance of performing patient-specific cfd analyses, through which the effect of different blood flow conditions on the aneurysm hemodynamics could be evaluated. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ica...

in the present study, the nonlinear model of non-newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. the model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. the vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. the cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...

In the present work, the effect of fluid’s elasticity was investigated on the hydrodynamic instability of Blasius flow. To determine the critical Reynolds number as a function of the elasticity number, a two-dimensional linear temporal stability analysis was invoked. The viscoelastic fluid is assumed to obey the Walters’ B fluid model for which base flow velocity profiles were fortunately avail...

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 ...
