The primary theme of this communication is to employ convective condition of mass transfer in the theory of peristalsis. The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic transport of viscous liquid in an asymmetric channel was considered for this purpose. Effects of Ohmic heating and Soret and Dufour are presented. The governing mathematical model was expressed in terms of closed form solution express...

The thermal cracking of hydrocarbons for olefin production is carried out in long tubular reactors inserted in a furnace, in this process the heat flux along the reactor wall determines the feedstock conversion, the olefin selectivity's and rate of coke deposition. A detailed firebox simulation model is therefore a powerful tool in the design and operation of pyrolysis furnaces and reactors to ...

The present investigation emphasises a new attempt at the peristaltic mechanism of Eyring Powell fluid through non-uniform channel. analysis is performed in presence wall properties under influence variable liquid properties, and flow problem mathematically developed. channel walls are subjected to no-slip conditions with long-wavelength low Reynolds-number approximations employed study. nonlin...

Nanofluids, in which nano-sized particles (typically less than 100 nm) are suspended in liquids, have emerged as a possible effective way of improving the heat transfer performance of common fluids. In this paper a numerical study is performed to analyze the wall shear stress and heat transfer coefficient of γAl2O3-water nanofluids under laminar forced convection through a circular pipe. It is ...

The melting of a particle-laden slurry in a cylinder is investigated. The slurry consists of neutrally buoyant ceramic hollow spheres suspended in a paraffin wax. Melt front propagation and heat transfer processes during phase change in this particle-laden material is studied. The numerical analysis employs a particle-diffusive model and the enthalpy method. Experiments are carried out to valid...

In this study, the thermal characteristics of turbulent nanofluid flow in a helical tube in the tube heat exchanger (HTTHE) were assessed numerically through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The findings of both the turbulent models: realizable k-epsion (k-ε) and re-normalisation group (RNG) k-epsilon were compared. The temperature distribution contours show that realizable and RN...

The design of retaining walls depends on the magnitude of active pressure exerted from the backfill. Therefore, estimating the scale of this pressure is a fundamental factor in the design. In this study, to assess the active earth pressure, a rigid retaining wall was built capable of translating and/or rotating with adjustable speed. Further, several physical tests were conducte...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is the clinical manifestation of an induced force exceeding the resistance provided by the strength of the arterial wall. This force is most frequently assumed to be the product of a uniform luminal pressure acting along the diseased wall. However fluid dynamics is a known contributor to the pathogenesis of AAAs, and the dynamic interaction of blood flow ...
