In this study, mixed convection heat transfer and local and global entropy generation in aventilated square cavity have been investigated numerically. The natural convection effect isachieved by a constant heat flux imposed at the bottom wall and cooled by injecting a coldfollow. In order to investigate the effect of port location, four different placementconfigurations of the inlet and outlet ...

In this study, an investigation is carried out for laminar steady mixed 2D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar Casson fluid with thermal radiation over a horizontal circular cylinder with constant surface temperature. In the present study, an investigation is carried out on the effects of physical parameters on Casson fluid non dimensional numbers. The governing nonlinear partial diffe...

Laminar mixed convection of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. Constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. All the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient...

The early study of convective heat transfer considered the branches of forced and free convection independently with only passing reference to their possible interaction. In fact the two are extreme cases of the general condition of "mixed" or "combined" forced and free convection where both mechanisms operate simultaneously. The present contribution aims to provide an up-to-date review of thos...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed and forced convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear-flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of a boundary layer variable which is directly proportional to the time variable ...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of an appropriate boundary layer variable. The resulting approximation is valid both for sma...
