In this paper we use classical linear stability theory to investigate the effects of uniform internal heat generation on the onset of Marangoni convection in a horizontal layer of fluid heated from below. We use a analytical technique to obtain the close form analytical expression for the onset of Marangoni convection when the lower boundary is conducting with free-slip condition. We show that ...

The combined effects of magnetic field, Navier slip and convective heating on the entropy generation in a flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel plates under a constant pressure gradient have been examined. Both the lower and upper plates of the channel are subjected to asymmetric convective heat exchange with the ambient fluid. T...

In this research, the effects of parameters include tool rotational and traverse speeds were investigated on heat generation and material flow during friction stir welding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Simulation results showed that with increasing of tool rotational and decreasing tool traverse speed, the more frictional heat generates which causes formatio...

In the present study, an analytical investigation on the entropy generation examination for viscoelastic fluid flow involving inclined magnetic field and non-linear thermal radiation aspects with the heat source and sink over a stretching sheet has been done. The boundary layer governing partial differential equations were converted in terms of appropriate similarity transformations to non-line...

in the present research, in contrast to the available papers, not only the superelasticity but also the shape memory effects are taken into account in determination of the impact responses. at the same time, in addition to modifying brinson’s model for the shape memory alloys (smas), to include new parameters and loading events, and hertz contact law, distributions of the sma phases are conside...

in this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow andheat transfer of water-al2o3 and ethylene glycol-al2o3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. thephysical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. constant heatfluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flowand heat t...

in this paper, the effect of the brownian term in natural convection of cuo-water nanofluid inside a partially filled porous cavity, with internal heat generation has been studied. it is assumed that the viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanofluid consists of a static part and a brownian part of which is a function of temperature and the volume fraction of nanofluid. because of internal hea...

This paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of Cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. Except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. The inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall....

entropy generation in an unsteady hydromagnetic couette flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel plates in a rotating system have been analyzed. both the lower and upper plates of the channel are subjected to asymmetric convective heat exchange with the ambient following the newton's law of cooling. a numerical solution for governin...
