Steady Laminar

A boundary layer analysis is laid out for the steady, laminar, mixed convection flow past an isothermal vertical cone embedded in a porous medium filled with a nanofluid. The model used for the nanofluid is one which includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. A parametric study is performed for different physical parameters, such as magnetic (M), cone angle (m), mixed convection (χ), Brownian motion (Nt), and thermophoresis (Nb), on the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle concentration profiles. The local Nusselt, Sherwood, and nanoparticle Sherwood number have been laid out in a graphical way. The dependency of the rate of heat and mass transfer on the governing parameters has been discussed.

Hydrodynamic Behaviors

The main goal of this paper is to analyze the thermal and hydrodynamic behaviors of laminar mixed convection flow of a nongray radiating gas over an inclined step in an inclined duct. The fluid is considered an air mixture with 10% CO2 and 20% H2O mole fractions, which is treated as homogeneous, absorbing, emitting, and nonscattering medium. The full-spectrum k-distribution (FSK) method is used to handle the nongray part of the problem, while the radiative transfer equation (RTE) is solved using the discrete ordinate method (DOM). In addition, the results are obtained for different medium assumptions such as pure mixed convection and gray medium to compare with the nongray calculations as a real case. The results show that in many cases, neglecting the radiation part in computations and also use of gray simulations are not acceptable and lead to considerable errors, especially at high values of the Grashof number in mixed convection flow.

AbstractIn this study, the ignition characteristics and the flow properties of the mixed convection flow are presented. Detailed formulations of the forced, natural and mixed convection problems have been discussed. In order to avoid inconvenient switch between the forced and natural convection we introduce a continuous transformation in the mixed convection. We make a comparison between these situations which reveal a good agreement. For mixed convection flow, the ignition distance is explicitly expressed as a function of the Prandtl number, reaction parameter and wall temperature. It has been observed that owing to the increase of the aforesaid parameters, the thermal ignition distance is reduced. Numerical results are illustrated for velocity, temperature, and concentration for different physical parameters. Furthermore, the development of combustion is presented by using streamlines, isotherms and isolines of fuel and oxidizer.

Steady Laminar

Steady, laminar, mixed convection flow was considered in an inclined lid-driven rectangular enclosure heated from one side moving with a constant speed and cooled from the stationary adjacent side while the other sides are kept stationary and adiabatic. The governing equations were solved numerically for the stream function, vorticity, and temperature ratio using the differential quadrature method for various Reynolds, Grashof, and Richardson numbers as well as different aspect ratios and inclination angles for the enclosure. The results show that the motion of the side wall, the aspect ratio, and the inclination angle of the enclosure had significant effects on the flow and temperature fields.

Abstract This work analyses thermal effect for a mixed convection flow of Maxwell nanofluid spinning motion produced by rotating and bidirectional stretching cylinder. Impacts of Joule heating and internal heat source/sink are also taken into account for current investigation. Moreover, the flow is exposed to a uniform magnetic field with convective boundary conditions. The modeled equations are converted to set of ODEs through group of similar variables and are then solved by using semi analytical technique HAM. It is observed in this study that, velocity grows up with enhancing values of Maxwell, mixed convection parameters and reduces with growing values of magnetic parameter. Temperature jumps up with increasing values of heat source, Eckert number, Brownian motion,thermophoresis parameter and jumps down with growing values of Prandtl number and heat sink. The concentration is a growing function of thermophoresis parameter and a reducing function of Brownian motion and Schmidt number.
