a numerical study has been done through an al2o3–water in a double lid-driven  square  cavity with various  inclination  angles  and discrete heat sources. the top and right moving walls are at low temperature. half of  the  left and bottom walls are  insulated and  the  temperatures of the other half are kept at high. a large number of simulations for a wide  range  of richardson  number  of  ...

 Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental examination of the effect of non-uniform wall temperature on local heat transfer coefficient in a rotating smooth-walled square channel. Three different thermal boundary situations were investigated: (a) even and odd (four) wall uniform temperature, (b) even and odd (four) wall uniform heat flux, and (c) even (leading and trailing) w...

The effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the MHD mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. The velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. Thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

The roll of melting heat transfer on magnetohydrodynamic natural convection in a square enclosure with heating of bottom wall is examined numerically in this article. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations are transformed into vorticity and stream function formulation and then solved using the finite difference method (FDM). The effects of thermal Rayleigh number (Ra</em...

the galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar newtonian and power-law model non-newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. the governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. to accelerate convergence a combinat...

Natural convection in an inclined porous cavity with positively or negatively inclined angles is studied numerically for time-periodic boundary conditions on the left side wall and partially active thermal boundary conditions on the right wall. The results show that a partially active thermal boundary condition on wall B can lead to heat transfer between two opposing vertical side walls. Temper...

An analytical model has been developed for the study of turbulent film condensation from downward flowing vapors onto a horizontal elliptical tube with variable wall temperature. The interfacial shear at the vapor condensate film is evaluated with the help of Colburn analogy. The condensate film flow and local/or mean heat transfer characteristics from a horizontal elliptical tube with nonunifo...
