Steady one-dimensional nonstationary flow of boiling liquid from finite or infinit pipe in a consideration of the effect of the phase-boundary heat and mass transfer. The Received system of quasi-linear differential equations has been decided by the modificati on of Lax - wendroff method in IBM. Numerical results are compared as xperimental data.

The coupled heat and mass transfer between a falling triethylene glycol (TEG) desiccant film and air in crossflow have previously been presented and solved numerically for the cases of regeneration and dehumidification. Here, correlations for the effects of independent variables on the rate of regeneration in the regenerator and on the rate of dehumidification and sensible cooling in the absorber are developed by statistical analysis of the numerical results. The functional correlations developed should be useful in the design of regenerators and absorbers having falling liquid desiccant films and air in crossflow.

In this paper, we study the numerical approach of MHD Casson fluid flow over a permeable stretching sheet with heat and mass transfer taking into cognizance the various parameters present. A set of suitable local similarity transformations are used to non-dimensionalize the governing equations of the present problem. The system of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by MATLAB bvp4c solver. The effect of the involved parameters on Velocity, Temperature, and Concentration, Skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number has been studied and numerical results are presented graphically and in tabular form. The numerical results are in good agreement with those of the results previously published in the literature.

The work presented here focusing on the motion of oil film heat and mass transfer. A complete mathematical model based on theoretical study to solve three-dimensional unsteady oil film motion was established. Numerical simulation for different test rigs (bearing chamber test rig of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and rotating cylinder test rig of Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU)) and different working conditions was carried out by using CFD commercial software. Particle tracks, oil film thickness change history and film stripping were studied, and the numerical results of oil film thickness were obtained. The numerical results show that the motion of the oil film will reach the state of basic stability for unsteady oil flow, and a development process from the oil film formation to basic stability in this paper is less than 1.5 seconds. Moreover, comparison between the numerical results and the experimental values shows that the maximum error of oil film thickness is less than 7% at the measurement points under the calculation conditions, which indicates the proposed computational model to solve unsteady oil film motion is a valuable technical means for the study of oil film movement mechanism and oil film heat and mass transfer.
