Flow insulator is the material which having fluid flow through itself resulting to the fluid temperature difference between the upstream and downstream regions. The flow insulation characteristics of combined two cordierite alumina (Cr-Al) porous plates with 2 mm free space was investigated experimentally. The results indicated the air temperature drop across the flow insulator and the thermal efficiency increase with the inlet air temperature and decrease with increasing air flow rate. The higher PPI porous plate placing upstream layer resulted in increasing the thermal efficiency of the flow insulator significantly.

The thermal performance of a new Solar air Collector with Colored Fins (SCCF) used for heating was studied. A macroscopic model was proposed based on the law of mass and energy conservation. The effects of the parameters such as dimensions of SCCF, fin angle and material of the fins on the outlet air temperature, airflow rate, effective energy and thermal efficiency were discussed. The results indicate that thermal performance of SCCF can be obviously improved by the increases of aspect ratio, fin angle and vent size. The air flow rate is the dominated factor affecting effective energy and thermal efficiency of SCCF. All these study can be used for guiding the design of SCCF.

In this paper MHD rotating double diffusive and chemically reactive fluid flow past a vertical porous plate with thermal radiation and heat absorption/generation is studied. The non-dimensional governing equations involved in the present analysis are solved by using finite difference technique. The effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration along with skin friction, the rate of heat transfer in the form of Nusselt number and the rate of mass transfer in the form of Sherwood number are studied through the graphs and tables.

The numerical studies are performed to examine the steady MHD free convection and mass transfer fluid flow through a continuously moving porous medium with thermal diffusion and diffusion thermo past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate in a rotating system. Impulsively started plate moving in its own plane is considered. With appropriate transformations the boundary layer equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The local similarity solutions of the transformed dimensionless equations for the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are evaluated using shooting iteration technique. Numerical results are presented in the form of velocity, temperature and concentration within the boundary layer for different parameters entering into the analysis. Also the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local skin-friction coefficients and rate of heat transfer as well as rate of mass transfer in terms of the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number respectively are also discussed. Keywords: MHD free convection, porous medium, rotation effect, Dufour effect, Soret effect.DOI: 10.3329/jname.v4i1.915 Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering 4(2007) 43-55
