The non-Fourier effect in heat conduction is important in strong thermal environments and thermal shock problems. Generally, commercial FE codes are not available for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction. In this study, a meshless formulation is presented for the analysis of the non-Fourier heat conduction in the materials. The formulation is based on the symmetric local weak form of the sec...

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the porous medium and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady combined convection magneto hydrodynamics boundary layer flow of viscous electrically conducting fluid over a vertical permeable surface embedded in a high porous medium, in the presence of first order chemical reaction and thermal radiation. The slip boundary condition is applied at the p...

In this paper a laminar flow of water on an ice layer subjected to a slip condition is considered numerically. The paper describes a parametric mathematical model to simulate the coupled heat and mass transfer events occurring in moving boundary problems associated with a quasi steady state steady flow process. The discretization technique of the elliptic governing differential equations of mas...

thermal conductivity is an important property of juices in the prediction of heat- and mass-transfer coefficients and in the design of heat- and mass-transfer equipment for the fruit juice industry. an artificial neural network (ann) was developed to predict thermal conductivity of pear juice. temperature and concentration were input variables. thermal conductivity of juices was outputs. the op...

natural convective heat transfer of nano-fluid in porous media is present in many advanced engineering applications. in this work, this problem has been computationally simulated, using lbm. the configuration used includes a cold exterior region and hot interior cylinders with one-, two-, or three-cylinder arrangements. however, the effective area for heat transfer has been kept the same for al...

this paper presents an exact analytical solution for two-dimensional conductive heat transfer in spherical composite pressure vessels .the vessels are in spherical shape and fibers are winded in circumferential direction. the analytical solution is obtained under the general boundary conditions which consist of convection, conduction and radiation inside/outside of vessel. the heat transfer equ...

The outside convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) of building roof is an important parameter for accurately calculating heat transfer through roof and simulating airflow around buildings. However, the correlations concerning CHTC in various studies seem to be discrepant. The experiment using naphthalene method to measuring CHTC was carried out on a nine-story building roof during 15 Augus...

In this paper, the non-Fourier heat conduction in a semi-infinite body was examined. The heat wave non-Fourier heat conduction model was used for thermal analysis. Thermal conductivity was assumed temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-linear equation. The heat source was also considered temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-homogeneous equation. The Mac-Cormack predictor-correct...

Green roof assemblies influence the total roof surface energy balance for a building. The energy balance for a green roof depends mostly on the selection of plants and substrates suitable for the building’s location. This study measured thermal properties of common green roof materials and selected two types of plants and substrates to simulate transient thermal performance of different green r...

An integral approach is employed to investigate the effects of blockage on fluid flow and heat transfer from a circular cylinder confined between parallel planes. The integral form of the boundary-layer momentum equation is solved using the modified von Kármán–Pohlhausen method, which uses a fourth-order velocity profile inside the hydrodynamic boundary layer. The potential flow velocity, outsi...
