The Impact

The mass and heat transfer magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows have a substantial use in heat exchangers, electromagnetic casting, X-rays, the cooling of nuclear reactors, mass transportation, magnetic drug treatment, energy systems, fiber coating, etc. The present work numerically explores the mass and heat transportation flow of MHD micropolar fluid with the consideration of a chemical reaction. The flow is taken between the walls of a permeable channel. The quasi-linearization technique is utilized to solve the complex dynamical coupled and nonlinear differential equations. The consequences of the preeminent parameters are portrayed via graphs and tables. A tabular and graphical comparison evidently reveals a correlation of our results with the existing ones. A strong deceleration is found in the concentration due to the effect of a chemical reaction. Furthermore, the impact of the magnetic field force is to devaluate the mass and heat transfer rates not only at the lower but at the upper channel walls, likewise.

The heat transfer Magnetohydrodynamics flows have been potentially used to enhance the thermal characteristics of several systems such as heat exchangers, electromagnetic casting, adjusting blood flow, X-rays, magnetic drug treatment, cooling of nuclear reactors, and magnetic devices for cell separation. Our concern in this article is to numerically investigate the flow of an incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics micropolar fluid with heat transportation through a channel having porous walls. By employing the suitable dimensionless coordinates, the flow model equations are converted into a nonlinear system of dimensionless ordinary differential equations, which are then numerically treated for different preeminent parameters with the help of quasi-linearization. The system of complex nonlinear differential equations can efficiently be solved using this technique. Impact of the problem parameters for microrotation, temperature, and velocity are interpreted and discussed through tables and graphs. The present numerical results are compared with those presented in previous literature and examined to be in good contact with them. It has been noted that the imposed magnetic field acts as a frictional force which not only increases the shear stresses and heat transfer rates at the channel walls, but also tends to rotate the micro particles in the fluid more rapidly. Furthermore, viscous dissipation may raise fluid temperature to such a level that the possibility of thermal reversal exists, at the geometric boundaries of the domain. It is therefore recommended that external magnetic fields and viscous dissipation effects may be considered with caution in applications where thermal control is required.

A numerical study is presented for the thermo-free convection inside a cavity with vertical corrugated walls consisting of a solid part of fixed thickness, a part of porous media filled with a nanofluid, and a third part filled with a nanofluid. Alumina nanoparticle water-based nanofluid is used as a working fluid. The cavity’s wavy vertical surfaces are subjected to various temperature values, hot to the left and cold to the right. In order to generate a free-convective flow, the horizontal walls are kept adiabatic. For the porous medium, the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium (LTNE) model is used. The method of solving the problem’s governing equations is the Galerkin weighted residual finite elements method. The results report the impact of the active parameters on the thermo-free convective flow and heat transfer features. The obtained results show that the high Darcy number and the porous media’s low modified thermal conductivity ratio have important roles for the local thermal non-equilibrium effects. The heat transfer rates through the nanofluid and solid phases are found to be better for high values of the undulation amplitude, the Darcy number, and the volume fraction of the nanofluid, while a limit in the increase of heat transfer rate through the solid phase with the modified thermal ratio is found, particularly for high values of porosity. Furthermore, as the porosity rises, the nanofluid and solid phases’ heat transfer rates decline for low Darcy numbers and increase for high Darcy numbers.

In this paper, the effects of heat transfer and Hall current on the sinusoidal motion of solid particles through a planar channel has been discussed. The walls of the channel are considered as compliant under the effects of magnetohydrodynamics. The mathematical formulation has been performed using energy equation, momentum equation, and Ohm’s law. The modeled equations are further modified by taking the assumption of a zero Reynolds number and long wavelength. Numerical shooting technique has been employed to solve the nonlinear differential equations. The impact of all the emerging parameters such as wall rigidity, wall tension, mass characterization, Hall parameter, Hartmann number, Weissenberg number, particle volume fraction, Prandtl number, and Eckert number, respectively. Particularly, we discussed their effects on velocity and temperature profile.

Indirect passive solar crop dryers have the potential to considerably reduce the losses that presently occur during drying of some crops in many parts of the “developing” world. The performance so far achieved with such dryers has, however, not proved to be very satisfactory. If this performance is to be improved it is necessary to have an accurate computer model of such dryers to assist in their design. An important element is any dryer model is an accurate equation for the convective heat transfer in the collector. To assist in the development of such an equation, an experimental and numerical study of the collector heat transfer has been undertaken. In the experimental study, the collector was simulated by a 1m long by 1m wide channel with a gap of 4 cm between the upper and lower surfaces. The lower surface of the channel consisted of an aluminium plate with an electrical heating element, simulating the solar heating, bonded to its lower surface. Air was blown through this channel at a measured rate and the temperature profiles at various points along the channel were measured using a shielded thermocouple probe. Local heat transfer rates were then determined from these measured temperature profiles. In the numerical study, the parabolic forms of the governing equations were solved by a forward-marching finite difference procedure.

A 2D-symmetric numerical study of a new design of Nano-Enhanced Phase change material (NEPCM)-filled enclosure is presented in this paper. The enclosure is equipped with an inner tube allowing the circulation of the heat transfer fluid (HTF); n-Octadecane is chosen as phase change material (PCM). Comsol-Multiphysics commercial code was used to solve the governing equations. This study has been performed to examine the heat distribution and melting rate under the influence of the inner-tube position and the concentration of the nanoparticles dispersed in the PCM. The inner tube was located at three different vertical positions and the nanoparticle concentration was varied from 0 to 0.06. The results revealed that both heat transfer/melting rates are improved when the inner tube is located at the bottom region of the enclosure and by increasing the concentration of the nanoparticles. The addition of the nanoparticles enhances the heat transfer due to the considerable increase in conductivity. On the other hand, by placing the tube in the bottom area of the enclosure, the liquid PCM gets a wider space, allowing the intensification of the natural convection.

The Impact

In this study, a 3D numerical study of free ventilated room equipped with a discrete heat source was performed using the Finite Volume Method (FVM). To ensure good ventilation, two parallel openings were created in the room. A suction opening was located at the bottom of the left wall and another opening was located at the top of the opposite wall; the heat source was placed at various positions in order to compare the heating efficiency. The effects of Rayleigh number (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106) for six heater positions was studied. The results focus on the impact of these parameters on the particle trajectories, temperature fields and on the heat transfer inside the room. It was found that the position of the heater has a dramatic effect on the behavior and topography of the flow in the room. When the heat source was placed on the wall with the suction opening, two antagonistic behaviors were recorded: an improvement in heat transfer of about 31.6%, compared to the other positions, and a low Rayleigh number against 22% attenuation for high Ra values was noted.

A novel mathematical model is envisioned discussing the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) steady incompressible nanofluid flow with uniform free stream velocity over a thin needle in a permeable media. The flow analysis is performed in attendance of melting heat transfer with nonlinear chemical reaction. The novel model is examined at the surface with the slip boundary condition. The compatible transformations are affianced to attain the dimensionless equations system. Illustrations depicting the impact of distinct parameters versus all involved profiles are supported by requisite deliberations. It is perceived that the melting heat parameter has a declining effect on temperature profile while radial velocity enhances due to melting.

Numerical solutions for high-temperature air flowing past water and methanol droplets and solid spheres, and superheated steam flowing past water droplets were obtained in the Reynolds number range of 10 to 100. The coupled momentum, energy, and specie continuity equations of variable thermophysical properties were solved using finite difference techniques. The numerical results of heat transfer and total drag agree well with existing experimental data. Mass transfer decreases friction drag significantly but at the same time increases pressure drag by almost an equal amount. The net effect is that the standard drag curve for solid spheres can be used for evaporating droplets provided the density is the free stream density and the viscosity of the vapor mixture is evaluated at an appropriate reference temperature and concentration. Both the mass efflux and variable properties decrease heat transfer rates to the droplets.
