A numerical analysis is made to study magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer for Maxwell fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet through a porous medium in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink with variable thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordi...

We report in situ environmental transmission electron microscope observations of the nucleation and growth of multi-wall and single-wall carbon nanotubes formed by the catalytic decomposition of acetylene (C2H2) on Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The growth rate, structure and morphology of the carbon nanotubes formed depended upon reaction temperature and pressure. Under 20-100 mTorr of gas pressures at 480...

in the present study, the microstructural changes of a nickel based superalloy nimonic80a during a non-isothermal deformation were studied. therefore, microstructure evolutionduring hot side pressing test was predicted with combined methods of finite element analysis andprocessing map of the material. the predicted results were validated through experimentalmicrostructural studies. the results ...

In the present paper, a three dimensional annular developing incompressible laminar flow through 270- degree curved pipe is numerically simulated. The dimensionless governing equations of continuity, momentums and energy are driven in toroidal coordinates. The governing equations are discretized by projection algorithm using forward difference in time and central difference in space. A three-di...

This study examines the transient thermal response of a vertical electrically-heated wall during sensible heating of a turbulent wavy film. It is shown how the wall temperature can be decomposed into two components. The first is steady and accounts for the stream-wise increase in the wall and film temperatures, and the second is periodic and corresponds to temperature fluctuations due to the fi...

The combined effect of variable thermal conductivity and radiative heat transfer on steady flow of a conducting optically thin viscous fluid through a channel with sliding wall and non-uniform wall temperatures under the influence of an externally applied homogeneous magnetic field are analyzed in the present study. The similarity transformation reduces the time dependent governing equations fo...
