PurposeThis article aims to describe the effect of an endoscope and heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid through the gap between concentric uniform tubes.Design/methodology/approachThe mathematical model of the present problem is carried out under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. Analytical solutions for the velocity, temperature profiles, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained.FindingsThe results indicate that the effect of the wave amplitude, radius ratio, Grashof number, the ratio of relaxation to retardation times and the radius are very pronounced in the phenomena. Also, a comparison of obtaining an analytical solution against previous literatures shows satisfactory agreement.Originality/valueAnalytical solutions for the velocity, temperature profiles, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained. Numerical integration is performed to analyze the pressure rise and frictional forces on the inner and outer tubes.

The investigation is to explore the transportation of a viscoelastic fluid by peristalsis in a channel as well as in a circular cylindrical tube by considering Jeffrey-model. In order to apply the model to the swallowing of food-bolus through the oesophagus, the wave equation assumed to propagate along the walls is such that the walls contract in the transverse/radial direction and relax but do not expand further. Solutions have been presented in the closed form by using small Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations. The expressions of pressure gradient, volume flow rate and average volume flow rate have been derived. It is revealed on the basis of computational investigation that for a fixed flow rate, pressure decreases when the ratio of relaxation time to retardation time is increased. In both the channel and tubular flows, the pressure decreases on increasing the ratio of relaxation time to retardation time if the averaged flow rate is less than the maximum flow rate. It is also revealed that the maximum tubular flow rate is higher than that of the channel-flow. It is further found through the theoretical analysis that mechanical efficiency, reflux and local wall shear stress remain unaffected by viscoelastic property of the fluid modelled as Jeffrey-fluid.

The movement of particles in electrorheological (ER) fluids is analyzed by means of molecular dynamic simulations. We found that the velocity profile of particles can be divided into two zones. One zone near electrodes where particles' velocity profiles change periodically like "breathing type" is called transition zone. The other in the middle of two electrodes where particles move smoothly like a plug is called "plug zone". In addition, the relationship between volume flow rate and relative pressure gradient is simulated out. Factors such as volume flow rate, critical electric field, critical pressure gradient and response time of shutting up were also analyzed respectively.

Peristaltic flow of a conducting Jeffrey fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is investigated. The channel asymmetry is produced by considering a peristaltic wave train on the flexible walls of the channel with different amplitudes and phases. The nonlinear governing equations are solved analytically by a perturbation technique. The expressions for the stream function, axial velocity and the pressure rise per wavelength are determined in terms of the Jeffrey number λ1, the Froude number Fr, the perturbation parameter δ, the angle of inclination θ and the phase difference ϕ. Effects of the physical parameters on the velocity field and the pumping characteristics are discussed. It is observed that the size of the trapping bolus increase with an increase in the magnetic parameter and the volume flow rate. That is, the magnetic parameter and the volume flow rate have strong influence on the trapping bolus phenomenon.

Abstract Recent progress in nanotechnology has lead to a revolution in the automotive cooling system. In the present work, enhancement of car radiator thermal performance was investigated using different nanofluids named SiO2/water, ZnO/water nanofluids as cooling mediums. The present study mainly aims to investigate the impact of (5 wt.%) from SiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in water based on car radiator heat transfer with spherical and hexagonal morphology, respectively. The experiments were performed in two working conditions of the nanofluids i.e coolant temperature and volume flow rate, moreover the present results were compared with the previous studies. The experimental working conditions were set at coolant inlet temperature (tc,i) ranged from 45 oC to 80 oC and the coolant volume flow rate (V) ranged from 3.5 lit/min to 6.5 lit/min. The experimental results show that the hexagonal ZnO/water nanofluid was superior towards enhancement of car radiator thermal performance comparing to that of SiO2 NPs. Additionally, at 6.5 lit/min and 45 °C, the enhancements of car radiator effectiveness due to using SiO2 and ZnO based water nanofluids and compared with that for the based water were 13.9% and 16%, respectively. The present study used the multiple regression analysis (MRA) and hence empirical correlations are suggested to estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) for all coolants as functions of volume flow rate (V) and the coolant inlet temperature (tc,i) with a maximum STDEV of ± 1.85%.

Purpose: To assess in vitro the performance of 5 distal protection devices (DPDs) by evaluating the capture efficiency, pressure gradient, volume flow rate, and vascular resistance in the internal carotid artery (ICA). Methods: The time-averaged mean peak velocity in the common carotid artery and a blood-mimicking solution were used to simulate physiological conditions in a silicone carotid phantom representing average human carotid artery geometry with a 70% symmetrical ICA stenosis. Five milligrams of dyed 200-μm nominal diameter polymer microspheres (larger than the pore size of the devices, except Spider RX, which was tested with 300-μm-diameter particles) were injected into the ICA. The percentages of particles missed after injection and lost during device retrieval were measured for the 5 devices (Spider RX, FilterWire EZ, RX Accunet, Angioguard XP, and Emboshield). The normalized pressure gradient, fraction of the volume flow rate, and vascular resistance in the ICA were calculated. Results: Spider RX captured the most particles (missing 0.06%, p<0.05) and yielded the smallest normalized pressure gradient increase (4.2%), the largest volume flow rate fraction (0.40), and the smallest vascular resistance in the ICA (272 mmHg/L·min−1, a 5.4% increase with respect to initial conditions). Angioguard XP captured the fewest particles (missing 36.3%, p<0.05 except Emboshield) and resulted in the largest normalized pressure gradient increase (37%) in the ICA. RX Accunet produced the smallest volume flow rate fraction in the ICA (0.30) and the largest vascular resistance in the ICA (470 mmHg/L·min−1, an 82.2% increase). Emboshield migrated ∼6 cm distal to the original position after particle injection. FilterWire EZ lost the fewest particles during retrieval (0.45%, p<0.05 except Accunet RX and Spider RX) and had the best overall performance with 200-μm emboli (p<0.05 except Accunet RX). Conclusion: None of the devices tested completely prevented embolization. Overall, Spider RX had the best performance and is conjectured to have the best wall apposition of the devices tested. Vascular resistance should be considered a key filter design parameter for performance testing since it represents a quantitative estimation of the “slow-flow phenomenon.” Our findings should be extrapolated cautiously to help interventionists choose the best device.

AbstractNanofluid as a transport medium displays a great potential in engineering applications involving heat transfer. In this paper, the execution of water and ethylene glycol-based TiO2 nanofluid as a radiator coolant is resolved experimentally. The convective heat transfer coefficient of TiO2/EG-Water nanocoolant has been estimated and contrasted with the information acquired experimentally. Nanocoolant were set up by taking 25% ethylene glycol and 75% water with low volume concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles. All the experiments were led for the distinctive volume flow rates in the range going from 30 to 180 L/h (LPH). The nanocoolant made to flow through curved radiator tubes in every experiment, so that it can exchange heat effectively. Result shows that increasing the volume flow rate of nanocoolant flowing in the radiator tubes, increases the heat transfer as well as the convective heat transfer coefficient of nanocooant. Maximum heat transfer enhancement of 29.5% was recorded for nanocoolant with 0.03% nanoparticle concentration as compared to water at 150 LPH. Apart from this nanoparticle concentration into the base fluid, no further enhancement in heat transfer has been observed at any volume flow rate.

The two-phase suction injection can reduce the discharge temperature of scroll refrigeration compressors, which work under a high-pressure ratio. The heat transfer along the pipe axis from the shell affects the two-phase suction injection significantly for the compressor with a high-temperature shell. In this paper, the suction mixing and heat transfer model was developed to calculate the heat transfer along the pipe axis from the high-temperature compressor shell. Then the model was coupled with the two-phase compressor model to obtain the compressor performance under different suction injection volume flow rates. The compressor with two-phase suction injection was tested under different injection volume flow rates to validate the model. The results indicated that the discharge temperature decreased by 2 °C when the mass injection ratio increased by 1%. As the injection volume flow rates increased, the total mass flow rate increased due to the reduction of the specific volume of the suction fluid; the input work decreased because of the reduction of specific work and the improvement of the motor's electric efficiency. The cooling capacity decreased since the cooling capacity of the injection refrigerant was wasted for cooling the suction process and the compressor shell, especially at high injection volume flow rates. The coefficient of performance reached the maximum value at the injection volume flow rate of 0.015 m3·h−1 and became lower than the coefficient of performance without injection when the injection volume flow rate raised to 0.035 m3·h−1. Hence, the two-phase suction injection can reduce the discharge temperature efficiently at low injection volume flow rates with a slight improvement of coefficient of performance.



This paper documents the optimization of different parameters of micro channel heat sink which enhance the heat transfer. The objective is to find the major thermal resistance in micro channel and its effect on other parameters. Water is used as a coolant and the initial values of convective heat transfer coefficient and volume flow rate are 30000 W/m2K and 1 lpm respectively. Different graph are plotted between pressure drop,heat transfer co-efficient, pressure drop,thermal resistance and flow rate to finally achieve the optimized valus of channel width and height, hydraulic diameter, thermal resistance and pressure drop. The result achieved are in good agreement with the previous researches.

In this project, the flow distribution for air and water, and the enhancement of the heattransfer coefficient are experimentally studied. Experimental studies have been performed totest the influence of discharge, pitch, the height of ribs at a constant heat flux on thetemperature and pressure distributions. Along the channel of the test and the heat transfercoefficient, the water volume flow rate was about (5-12 L/min), the air volume flow rate wasabout (5.83-16.66 L/min), and heat were (80, 100,120, watt). An experimental rig wasconstructed within the test whole system. On the other hands, the channel has a divergentsection with an angle =15o with vertical axis. The study included changing in the ribs heightby using three values (12, 15, 18 mm) and changing the ribs pitch into three values (5, 8, 10mm).The results indicated an increasing in the local heat transfer coefficient as a result ofincreasing the discharge. While there was an inverse influence for the temperature distributionalong the test channel which drops when the discharge rise. The results also confirm that theincreasing in the pitch distance leads to reduce the heat transfer coefficient. Increasing theribs height increases the coefficient of heat transfer. However, the experiment heat transfercoefficient improves about (15.6 %) when the water volume flow rate increased from (5 to 12L/min), and about (18.7%) when the air volume flow rate increased from (5.83 to 16.66L/min). The best heat transfer coefficient was about (35.6 %) which can be achieved whenthe pitch decreased from (10 to 5mm). The increasing of the height from (12 to 18) mmimproves the heat transfer coefficient about (11.2 %). The best rib dimension was 18 mmheight, and 5 mm pitch, which give a maximum heat transfer coefficient (1212.02 W/m2. oC).
