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 ...

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, except density in the bo...
