A conjugate heat transfer for steady two-dimensional mixed convection with magnetic hydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible quiescent fluid over an unsteady thermal forming stretching sheet has been studied. A parameter, M, which is used to represent the dominance of the magnetic effect has been presented in governing equations. The similar transformation and an implicit finite-difference ...

The drying behavior of green peas is investigated in a pilot scaled Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) with inert particles assisted by an Infra Red (IR) heat source. The variation of shrinkage and moisture diffusivity with temperature and moisture content were investigated. The experimental drying curves were adjusted to the diffusion model of Fick’s law for spherical particles. The result was that...

The effect of thermal and solutal buoyancy induced by a discrete source of heat and mass transfer in a square duct under the influence of magnetic field, especially at the turbulent regime for the first time is reported. Al2O3/water nanofluid is used with constant heat flux from three discrete heat sources. In the present study, the effects of Reynolds number (100 to 3000), particle volume frac...

transfer table is an essential stage between roughing and finishing rolling stands in a hot-strip rolling mill. high temperature and long time that strip is exposed to air at this stage cause a considerable heat loss that accounts for uneven temperature distribution, non-uniform surfaces, reduced product quality and increased production costs. using thermal shields on the transfer table is cons...

in this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-tig hybrid welding (hlaw) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (haz) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (fem) and were solved in the abaqus/standard software.the heat sou...

The heat transfer problem of a moving heat source along the surface of a half space was studied analytically and numerically. For the 2D problem, the heat source was a strip moving source and for the 3D problem, the heat source was a square moving source. Analytical solutions are available only for adiabatic conditions as given by Carslaw and Jaeger [H.S. Carslaw, J.C. Jaeger, Conduction of Hea...

The present work solves two-dimensional Advection-Dispersion Equation (ADE) in a semi-infinite domain. A variable source concentration is regarded as the monotonic decreasing function at the source boundary (x=0). Depth-dependent variables are considered to incorporate real life situations in this modeling study, with zero flux condition assumed to occur at the exit boundary of the domain, i.e....

Renewable energy supplies are steadily gaining increasing importance in all the countries. In particular, solar energy, being non-polluting, clean and inexhaustible, has received wide attention among scientists and engineers. Though there are many advantages, an important factor is that solar energy is time dependent energy source with an intermittent character. Hence some form of thermal energ...

An L-cell line adapted to grow in protein-free medium is a source of material that stimulates the proliferation of serum-dependent BHK cells under otherwise protein-free conditions. The material produced by the L-cells is resolvable into separate DNA-synthetic and mitotic stimulatory activities. The stimulation of mitosis is dependent upon the presence of one or more heat-labile macromolecules,...
