Internal Mixer

The internal mixer is an important devise for processing the polymer nanocomposites acting as a chemical reactor. In this article, based on the computational fluid dynamics method, the fluid transportation and heat transfer analysis of sol–gel reaction processing for Polypropylene (PP)/TiO2 nanocomposites in the internal batch mixers with single-winged and two-winged Cam rotors were simulated. First, the Lagrangian coherent structure analysis was used to understand the fluid transport properties in the mixers. Then the effect of rotational speeds (ratios) and barrel temperatures on the heat transfer characteristics in the mixers with different rotors was analyzed. Also, the changes of viscous heating and torques of rotors with different thermal conditions in the mixers were discussed. Especially, the relationship between the fluid transportation and heat transfer characteristics was explored. The results show that a big rotor speed ratio can induce great fluid transportation in the left and right mixer chambers based on the Lagrangian coherent structure analysis, and the fluid near the horseshoe map has great folding effect and temperature magnitude. The viscous dissipation, viscous heat generation, and rotor torques in the mixers increase with increasing the rotational speeds and decrease with increasing the barrel temperatures. The mixer with two-winged rotors has higher average temperature, viscous dissipation, viscous heat generation and the torques of rotors values of reactive fluid than that with single-winged rotors.

Exponentially Stretching

A numerical analysis has been carried out to describe the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid over an exponentially stretching surface in the presence of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation/absorption. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 45 method. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for both PEST and PEHF cases. The numerical results are compared with the earlier study and found to be in excellent agreement. Some important features of the flow and heat transfer in terms of velocities and temperature distributions for different values of the governing parameters like fluid-particle interaction parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Number density, heat source/sink parameter, and suction parameter which are of physical and engineering interests are analyzed, discussed, and presented through tables and graphs.

Abstract The oil-water-gas separation is a critical aspect of the treatment of production flows in the oil industry. The segregation of gas bubbles and/or water droplets dispersed in viscous oil by an in-line swirling flow separator has been considered by the oil industry for topside and subsea applications. For high viscosity oils, heat transfer processes can be affected. Works addressing these applications are rare in the literature. In this way, the article presents a numerical investigation on heat transfer characteristics in a decaying swirling flow, considering the effects of viscosity dissipation due to the high viscosity of the fluid. The flow has both velocity and temperature profiles developing simultaneously in a tube with a constant diameter having a uniform wall heat flux in a laminar flow regime, particularly the behavior of heat transfer characteristics for strongly swirling numbers considering viscous dissipation. Three swirl numbers (S = 0.0, 0.3 and 0.7) and five Brinkman numbers (Br = 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 10.0) were investigated and the effects of those parameters on the dimensionless temperature profiles, Nusselt number and viscous dissipation function were examined. The heat transfer analysis indicated that the swirling flow affects the fluid's axial and radial temperature distribution. They promoted increased fluid in wall temperature and bulk temperature and affected the local Nusselt number distribution.

Second Law Analysis

The current study is an attempt to analytically characterize the second law analysis and mixed convective rheology of the (Al2O3–Ag/H2O) hybrid nanofluid flow influenced by magnetic induction effects towards a stretching sheet. Viscous dissipation and internal heat generation effects are encountered in the analysis as well. The mathematical model of partial differential equations is fabricated by employing boundary-layer approximation. The transformed system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved using the homotopy analysis method. The entropy generation number is formulated in terms of fluid friction, heat transfer and Joule heating. The effects of dimensionless parameters on flow variables and entropy generation number are examined using graphs and tables. Further, the convergence of HAM solutions is examined in terms of defined physical quantities up to 20th iterations, and confirmed. It is observed that large λ1 upgrades velocity, entropy generation and heat transfer rate, and drops the temperature. High values of δ enlarge velocity and temperature while reducing heat transport and entropy generation number. Viscous dissipation strongly influences an increase in flow and heat transfer rate caused by a no-slip condition on the sheet.

Melting Heat Transfer

This communication studies the effect of melting heat transfer on the stagnation-point flow of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretching sheet. Heat transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of viscous dissipation. The arising differential system has been solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness with an increase in the values of the elastic parameter (Deborah number) for a Jeffrey fluid which are opposite to those accounted for in the literature for the other subclasses of rate type fluids. Furthermore, an increase in the melting process corresponds to an increase in the velocity and a decrease in the temperature. A comparative study between the current computations and the previous studies is also presented in a limiting sense.

Heat Transfer Phenomenon

ABSTRACTThe present analysis has been developed to investigate the heat transfer phenomenon in peristaltic flow of Carreau fluid in a curved channel with rhythmic contraction and expansion of waves along the walls (similar to blood flow in tubes). Magnetic field is imposed in radial direction. The heat transfer aspect is further studied with viscous dissipation effect. The curved channel walls are influenced by flow and thermal partial slip. In addition the flow stream comprised porous medium. The system of relevant non-linear PDEs have been reduced to ODEs by utilizing the long wavelength approximation. The striking features of flow and temperature characteristics under the involved parameters are examined by plotting graphs. The generation of fluid temperature and velocity due to viscous dissipation and gravitational efforts are recorded respectively. Moreover indicated results signify activation of velocity, temperature and heat transfer rate with Darcy number.
