A free convective unsteady visco-elastic flow through porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate with variable suction, constant heat flux under the influence of transverse uniform magnetic field along with permeability in the presence of radiation and chemical reaction has been investigated in the present study. The suction velocity of the porous medium fluctuates with time abo...

The present study investigates the unsteady, two dimensional, laminar flow of a nanofluid over a stretching sheet with thermal dispersion in the presence of MHD and variable suction is studied. Two water based nanofluids containing Copper Cu, Titanium dioxide TiO2 nanoparticles are considered in this study. Using the similarity transformations, the governing equations have been transformed into...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of radiative heat and mass transfer on unsteady natural convection couette flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in the slip flow regime in presence of variable suction and radiative heat source. The governing equations of the flow field are solved employing perturbation technique and the expressions for the velocity, temperature, concentrat...

eunsteady slip-flow of second grade non-newtonian electrically conducting fluid over an oscillating sheet has been considered and solved numerically. a second-order slip velocity model is used to predict the flow characteristic over the wall. with the assumption of infinite length in the x-direction, the velocity of the fluid can be assumed as a function of y and t, hence, with proper change va...

In this paper, the transient refrigerant gas flow in a two-cylinder rolling piston type rotary compressor is simulated using STAR-CD, a general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Three models with different suction piping systems are calculated respectively, one is two suction pipes were connected from accumulator to each cylinder separately (separate suction piping system), the other...

a numerical model is developed to simulate the transport phenomena in the flow channel between parallel plates with porous and non-porous (or impermeable) walls. the continuity and momentum equations were solved first, assuming the wall reynolds number in the range of with the suction or injection of air at a speed equal to the uniform inlet velocity. the results show that at constant inlet and...

The compression efficiency of a rolling piston type rotary compressor for room airconditioners was analyzed, Suction passage loss is one of the detracting factors in compression efficiency and we studied its main cause, i.e. the pressure pulsation generated in the suction line, and clarified the relation between suction line specification and suction passage loss. A method of evaluating the suc...

Suction caisson is a type of floor foundation for the offshore structures that is also called suction pile, bucket foundation, suction anchor, or sometimes ridge foundation depending on its application. In two past decades, this type of foundation has been widely used around the world as the fixed offshore foundation, anchor of the floating platforms, as well as the foundation of other marine s...

The effect of thermal radiation on the natural convection flow along a uniformly heated vertical porous plate with variable viscosity and uniform suction velocity was investigated numerically. The fluid considered in this study is of an optically dense viscous incompressible fluid of temperature-dependent viscosity. The laminar boundary layer equations governing the flow are shown to be nonsimi...
