Laminar Diffusion

Abstract Diffusion theory has not assumed as yet the degree of organizational elegance accorded to fluid-flow and heat-transfer theories. In this paper mass-transport phenomena and their nondimensional correlation are summarized. In order that the similarities between energy, momentum, and mass-transport phenomena may be exhibited, the discussion of diffusion is preceded by brief summaries of dynamic and temperature boundary-layer theories.

The paper gives a comprehensive study on the space fractional boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a stretching sheet with variable thickness, and the variable magnetic field is applied. Novel governing equations with left and right Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives subject to irregular region are formulated. By introducing new variables, the boundary conditions change as the traditional ones. Solutions of the governing equations are obtained numerically where the shifted Grünwald formulae are applied. Good agreement is obtained between the numerical solutions and exact solutions which are constructed by introducing new source items. Dynamic characteristics with the effects of involved parameters on the velocity and temperature distributions are shown and discussed by graphical illustrations. Results show that the velocity boundary layer is thicker for a larger fractional parameter or a smaller magnetic parameter, while the temperature boundary layer is thicker for a larger fractional parameter, a smaller exponent parameter, or a larger magnetic parameter. Moreover, it is thicker at a smaller y and thinner at a larger y for the velocity boundary layer with a larger exponent parameter while for the velocity and temperature boundary layers with a smaller weight coefficient.

AbstractThe heat transfer of a reactor with improved Intermig impellers was numerically investigated by the finite element method (FEM) simulation software Fluent (V.19). A turbulence model utilized the standard k-ε model, and the turbulent flows in two large vortexes between vertical tubes were collided to form a strong convection. The influence of heat and mass transfer developing from the impeller diameters, the distance between the two impellers (C1), the rotational speed and the installation height of the bottom impeller (C2) were studied. The reactor was equipped with special structure vertical tubes to increase the heat exchange areas. The rate of heat transfer, including criteria such as the convective heat transfer coefficient, the Nusselt number of outside vertical tubes, and the temperature boundary layer thickness, assured the accurate control of the heat exchange mixing state. The experimental testing platform was designed to validate the simulated results, which revealed the influence order of related factors. The Nusselt number Nu was affected by various related factors, resulting in the rotation and diameter of impellers extending far beyond the distance between the two impellers (C1) and the installation height of the impeller (C2). The average temperature boundary layer thicknesses of the symmetrical and middle sections were 3.24 mm and 3.48 mm, respectively. Adjusting the appropriate parameters can accurately control the heat exchange process in such a reactor, and the conclusions provide a significant reference for engineering applications.

Introducing the group of Loitskanskii [1] form-parameters and transformations of Saljnikov [2], the set of governing equations of the in compressible laminar temperature boundary layer was transformed in the universal form, with Prandtl number as parameter, for the case of the constant wall temperature. Using the universal results for air (Pr=0.72) the procedure for calculation of the Nusselt number (dimensionless heat transfer coefficient) on the particular contour (airfoil NACA 0010-34) was developed. The dimensionless temperature profiles within the boundary layer were presented also. The parameter of rotation ?0, as well as Eckert number, was varied, and their influences on the heat transfer from the surface to the working fluid were presented and analyzed. .

Steady Velocity

The boundary-layer flow over a semi-infinite flat plate is investigated. For time t < 0 there is the usual steady velocity boundary layer and, neglecting viscous dissipation, no thermal boundary layer. At t = 0 a temperature boundary layer is initiated without altering the velocity, and the subsequent temperature distributionn is studied for large and small t.
