Nonlinear Mixed Convection

In this paper, two-dimensional steady laminar boundary layer flow of a nonlinear mixed convection flow of micropolar nanofluid with Soret and magnetic field effect over a nonisothermal sphere is evaluated. The mathematical formulation for the flow problem has been made with appropriate similarity transformation and dimensionless variables, and the main nonlinear boundary value problems were reduced into mixed high-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Solution for velocity, microrotation, temperature, and concentration has been obtained numerically. The equations were calculated using method bvp4c from Matlab software for various quantities of main parameters. The effects of various parameters on skin friction coefficient f″0, wall duo stress coefficient -G′0, and convection mass transfer coefficient -Φ′0 are analysed and presented through the graphs and tables. The convergence test has been maintained. For the number of points greater than the suitable mesh number of points, the precision is not influenced but the set time is increased. Moreover, a comparison with a previous paper, obtainable in the literature, has been presented and an excellent agreement is obtained. The findings indicate that an increase in the values of nonisothermal parameters (m, P), magnetic Ma, thermal and solutal nonlinear convection (λ, s) parameter, and Soret number is to enhance the temperature difference between the boundary layer and ambient fluid to diffuse which increases the velocity profile f′ζ and their boundary layer thicknesses near the surface of the sphere.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider axisymmetric mixed convection flow of water over a sphere with variable viscosity and Prandtl number and an applied magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The non-similar solutions have been obtained from the origin of the streamwise co-ordinate to the point of zero skin friction using quasilinearization technique with an implicit finite-difference scheme. Findings The effect of M is not notable on the temperature and heat transfer coefficient when λ is large. The skin friction coefficient and velocity profile are enhance with the increase of MHD parameter M when λ is small. Viscous dissipation has no significant on the skin friction coefficient under MHD effect. For M=1, the movement of the slot or slot suction or slot injection do not cause any effect on flow separation. The slot suction and the movement of the slot in downstream direction delay the point of zero skin friction for M=0. Originality/value The present results are original and new for water boundary-layer flow over sphere in mixed convection flow with MHD effect and non-uniform mass transfer. So this study would be useful in analysing the skin friction and heat transfer coefficient on sphere of mixed convection flow of water boundary layer with MHD effect.

AbstractA mathematical model for mixed convection flow of a nanofluid along a vertical wavy surface has been studied. Numerical results reveal the effects of the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the axial distribution, the Richardson number, and the amplitude/wavelength ratio on the heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid. By increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the local Nusselt number and the thermal boundary layer increases significantly. In case of \mathrm{Ri}=1.0, the inclusion of 2 % and 5 % nanoparticles in the pure fluid augments the local Nusselt number, measured at the axial position 6.0, by 6.6 % and 16.3 % for a flat plate and by 5.9 % and 14.5 %, and 5.4 % and 13.3 % for the wavy surfaces with an amplitude/wavelength ratio of 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. However, when the Richardson number is increased, the local Nusselt number is found to increase but the thermal boundary layer decreases. For small values of the amplitude/wavelength ratio, the two harmonics pattern of the energy field cannot be detected by the local Nusselt number curve, however the isotherms clearly demonstrate this characteristic. The pressure leads to the first harmonic, and the buoyancy, diffusion, and inertia forces produce the second harmonic.

This study examines the problem of steady, MHD, mixed convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a semi-infinite vertical permeable plate with slip condition at the boundary layer. The flow field is exposed to the influence of buoyancy, Ohmic heating and Soret effects. The governing equations include the continuity, linear momentum, energy and mass transfer equations which are solved analytically by using perturbation method. The results of this parametric study on the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are shown graphically and the physical aspects of the problem are highlighted and discussed. The effect of shear stress, rate of heat and mass transfer coefficients at the channel walls are displayed in tables.

In this analysis, steady, laminar, and two-dimensional boundary layer flow of nonlinear convection micropolar nanofluid due to a rotating disk is considered. The mathematical formulation for the flow problem has been made. By means of appropriate similarity transformation and dimensionless variables, the governing nonlinear boundary value problems were reduced into coupled high-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations with numerically solved. The equations were calculated using method bvp4c from matlab software for various quantities of main parameters. The influences of different parameters on skin friction coefficients f″0 and G′0, wall duo stress coefficients H1′0, -H2′0, and -H3′0, the Nusselt number -θ′0, and Sherwood number Ω′0, as well as the velocities, temperature, and concentration are analysed and discussed through tables and plotted graphs. The findings indicate that an increase in the values of thermal and solutal nonlinear convection parameters allow to increase the value of velocities f′η and Gη near surface of the disk and reduce at far away from the disk as well as thermal and solutal Grashof numbers tolerate to increase in the value of radial velocity f′η near surface of the disk.

Laminar Mixed Convection

Numerical simulations of two dimensional laminar mixed convection flow over backward facing step with different inlet geometries in a duct is investigated by using finite volume method. The wall down downstream of the step is kept at a temperature of 330K and constant heat flux of 500W/m2, while the other walls that form the other side of the duct are thermally insulated. Ethylene glycol is used as working fluid and three types of barrier which are triangular, parallelogram and semicircle are carried out to compare with a simple entrance of backward facing step. The Reynolds number was in the range of 50Re200 and fluid temperature is 300K at the inlet of the channel. Parallelogram inlet has the highest average velocity in all sections and highest average Nusselt number over downstream. Also triangular inlet has the highest shear stress all over the downstream of the duct and cause to make a highest skin friction coefficient.

Numerical solutions for the periodic laminar boundary layer mixed convection flow around the surface of a heated sphere in the presence of viscous dissipation have been obtained by solving the governing equations using an implicit finite difference numerical technique. The fluid under consideration is assumed to be viscous and incompressible. Periodic momentum and thermal boundary layer profiles for different positions of x around the surface of the sphere are evaluated. The features of the obtained results for different values of mixed convection parameter λ, Prandtl number Pr, viscous dissipation parameter N, and frequency parameter ω are shown graphically. The obtained results confirm significant effect of all these mentioned parameters on periodic momentum and thermal boundary layer mixed convection flow around different positions of the sphere.

Unsteady Mixed Convection

The current study was devoted to explicating the impacts of heat transmission in an unsteady mixed convection flow of an upper convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid passing over a continuously stretching surface under the influence of radiation and magnetic field. Appurtenant similarity transmutations were adopted in order to express the constitutive boundary layer Equations of flow and heat transmission in non-dimensionalized form. The reduced system of partial differential Equations was solved by implementing the implicit finite difference method (IFDM). Our center of attention was to scrutinize the behavior of influential flow parameters on some significant features of flow and heat transmission, which were briefly examined, discussed, and presented in both graphical and tabular formats. Finally, a comparison was established with existing literature in limiting cases to support the present results, and a good agreement was found, corroborating our work. It was predicted that the thermal diffusion rate could be controlled by varying the Prandtl number. Moreover, a rise in radiation and magnetic field parameters reduced the skin friction coefficient and led to enhance the heat transmission rate at the surface. The outcomes of the study might have viable implementations in order to improve the quality of industrial products.
