Summary This paper presents an example of humid air flow around a single head of Chinese cabbage under conditions of complex heat transfer. This kind of numerical simulation allows us to create a heat and humidity transfer model between the Chinese cabbage and the flowing humid air. The calculations utilize the heat transfer model in porous medium, which includes the temperature difference between the solid (vegetable tissue) and fluid (air) phases of the porous medium. Modelling and calculations were performed in ANSYS Fluent 14.5 software.

The aim of this research is to study the effect of heat transfer on the oscillating flow of the hydrodynamics magnetizing Eyring-Powell fluid through a porous medium under the influence of temperature and concentration for two types of engineering conditions "Poiseuille flow and Couette flow". We used the perturbation method to obtain a clear formula for fluid motion. The results obtained are illustrated by graphs.

By numerical simulation computation, after passing the pulsating flow, enhanced heat transfer mechanism in spirally fluted tubes was researched. Numerical result shows that pulsating flow can cause the outlet pressure to fluctuate cyclical and the extent of fluctuation increases with the pulsating flow frequency. The pulse flowing can make the fluid generate the whirlpool nearby the spirally fluted tubes and the phenomenon of periodic production, drift, and fall-off appears. Because of the vortex, the fluid motion and relative motion are enhanced. The pulse flowing can improve the coordination level between velocity and temperature, thus has strengthened the heat transfer effect.

In this paper, the peristaltic motion of nano-coupled stress fluid through non-Darcy porous medium is investigated, and the heat transfer is taken into account. The system is stressed by an external magnetic field. The Ohmic and viscous couple stress dissipations, heat generation and chemical reaction are considered. This motion is modulated mathematically by a system of non-linear partial differential equations, which describe the fluid velocity, temperature and nanoparticles’ concentration. These equations are transformed to non-dimensional form with the associated appropriate boundary conditions. The homotopy perturbation method is used to find the solutions of these equations as a function of the physical parameters of the problem. The effects of the parameters on the obtained solutions are discussed numerically and illustrated graphically. It is found that these parameters play an important role to control the solutions. Significant outcomes from graphical elucidation envisage that the inclusion of more magnetic field strength increases the resistance of the fluid motion. Intensification of the couple stress parameter attenuates the temperature values, while it increases with increasing thermophoresis parameter.

Abstract Mixed convection heat transfer in a channel filled with porous medium and containing an isolated heat source at the bottom wall is studied in this work. The porous medium is assumed to be made of circular cylinders and is placed only on the heater surface. Three different configurations of porous medium are considered in this study. Pore-scale numerical simulations are carried out using the exact geometry of porous medium. The same configuration is also investigated using the volume-averaged approximation. The temperature distribution of the heater surface obtained from the pore-scale numerical simulation is compared with the results obtained from the volume-averaged numerical simulation. Parametric studies are carried out by varying the material of the cylinders, the porosity, and the height of the porous medium. The effects of Grashof number and Reynolds number of the flow are also studied as part of this investigation. The results obtained from the pore-scale numerical simulations show that the presence of the porous medium leads to reduction in heat transfer, while the results obtained from the volume-averaged numerical simulations show an enhancement of heat transfer due to the presence of the porous medium on the heater surface. However, the pore-scale numerical simulation results show that the heat transfer enhancement is only possible if the channel height is completely filled with the selected porous medium.
