in this work, the steady and laminar mixed convection of nanofluid in horizontal concentric annulus withrotating inner cylinder is investigated numerically. the inner and outer cylinders are kept at constanttemperature ti and to respectively, where ti>to. the annular space is filled with alumina-water nanofluid.the governing equations with the corresponded boundary conditions in the polar coord...

In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...

: This paper gives a comprehensive overview and understanding related with mixed convection in cylinders. About onehundred papers which are published in different local and international journals and conferences started from the past decade until the recent years are collected and described in various sections to give both researchers and readers a good overview and a solid background about mix...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed and forced convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear-flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of a boundary layer variable which is directly proportional to the time variable ...

Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of an appropriate boundary layer variable. The resulting approximation is valid both for sma...

A recent laboratory study indicates that a turbulent buoyant line plume discharging into a rotating stratified fluid provides a natural mechanism for generating a series of anticyclonic geostrophic vortices [Bush and Woods 1999]. Here we examine the implications of these experimental results in the context of the thermohaline convection which develops when saline water is released as leads free...

We present a numerical study of the rotating flow generated by two rotating disks in co-/counter-rotating, inside a fixed cylindrical enclosure similar to the Czochralski configuration (Cz).  The enclosure having an aspect ratio A = H/Rc equal to 2, filled with a low Prandtl number fluid (Pr = 0.011), which is submitted to a vertical temperature gradient. The finite volume method has been used ...
