a theoretical solution is presented for the forced convection heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid obeying the giesekus constitutive equation in a concentric annulus under steady state, laminar, and purely tangential flow. a relative rotational motion exists between the inner and the outer cylinders, which induces the flow. a constant temperature was set in both cylinders, in this study. the f...

The problem of steady, laminar and incompressible natural convection flow in an octagonalenclosure was studied. In this investigation, two horizontal walls were maintained at a constant hightemperature, two vertical walls were kept at a constant low temperature and all inclined walls wereconsidered adiabatic. The enclosure was assumed to be filled with a Bousinessq fluid. The studyincludes comp...

PROTEIN STABILITY Taylor Dispersion Analysis (TDA) is a microcapillary flow-based technique whereby a nanoliter-scale sample pulse is injected into the laminar flow of run buffer, which then spreads out axially due to the combined actions of convection and radial diffusion. Detection of the equilibrium concentration profile (or Taylorgram) of the dispersed sample pulse allows the molecular diff...

Laminar convection of a fluid with a temperature-dependent viscosity in an enclosure filled with a porous medium is studied numerically based on a Lattice Boltzmann method. It is shown that the variation in viscosity has significant influences on both flow and heat transfer behaviours. In comparison with the results for constant viscosity, the fluid with variable viscosity exhibits a higher hea...

This paper was concerned with studying the magnetohydrodynamic steady laminar free convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface in the presence of heat generation and thermal radiation. Similarity transformation was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones, which were then solved numerically using the finite element method...

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...

The mixed convection heat transfer and fluid flow behaviors in a lid– driven square cavity filled with high Prandtl number fluids at low Reynolds number have been studied using Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method (TLBM). The LBM has built up on the D2Q9 model called the Lattice-BGK (Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook) model. The Lattice Boltzmann momentum and energy equations are considered simultaneously to s...
