In this work, a Homotopy Perturbation Solution of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of boundary-layer equations for an electrically conducting Nanofluid flow bounded by an infinite parallel vertical permeable plates is to be introduced. This model is applied to study the mass and heat transfer of an unsteady nanofluid, incompressible flow with suction, internal heat generation, Hall Effect and Ch...

Liquid paraffin as a coolant fluid can be  applied in electronic devices as a result to its suitable capabilities such as electrical insulating, high heat capacity, chemical and thermal stability, and high boiling point. However, the poor thermal conductivity of paraffin has been confined its thermal cooling application. Addition of high conductor nanoparticles to paraffin can fix this drawback...

Heat transfer fluids have inherently low thermal conductivity that greatly limits the heat exchange efficiency. While the effectiveness of extending surfaces and redesigning heat exchange equipments to increase the heat transfer rate has reached a limit, many research activities have been carried out attempting to improve the thermal transport properties of the fluids by adding more thermally c...

A comprehensive review of heat generation in various types of wastes and of the thermal regime of waste containment facilities is provided in this paper. Municipal solid waste (MSW), MSW incineration ash, and mining wastes were included in the analysis. Spatial and temporal variations of waste temperatures, thermal gradients, thermal properties of wastes, average temperature differentials, and ...

Steady heat transfer through a pin fin is studied. Thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient, and the source or sink term are assumed to be temperature dependent. In the model considered, the source or sink term is given as an arbitrary function. We employ symmetry techniques to determine forms of the source or sink term for which the extra Lie point symmetries are admitted. Method of sep...

The present paper was aimed to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity and heat generation on the flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, porous medium, mass transfer, and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. Equations of continuity, momentum...

temperature profile determination in soils under adverse conditions of variable heat capacity and conductivity is a rather hard task. the heat capacity and conductivity are moisture dependent and both vary with the soil density. moisture movement on the other hand is temperature dependent and so the two interact. no single mathematical formulae as yet exists for anticipating the temperature dis...

Knowledge of the ground thermal conductivity is of importance when designing borehole heat exchanger (BHE) systems. As thermal conductivity for any specific rock type varies due to its mineral content, porosity, pore fluid and anisotropy, it is preferable determined in-situ. Choudhary (1976) suggested a method for determining the thermal conductivity which analysed the heat transfer during the ...

background and aims. heat generated within tooth during clinical dentistry can cause thermally induced damage to hard and soft components of the tooth (enamel, dentin and pulp). geometrical characteristics of immature teeth are different from those of mature teeth. the purpose of this experimental and theoretical study was to investigate thermal changes in immature permanent teeth during the us...
