Dissipative Heat

The investigation of dissipative heat and species diffusion of a conducting liquid under the combined influence of buoyancy forces in a moving plate is examined in the existence of magnetic field. The flowing liquid heat conductivity and viscosity are taken to be linearly varied as a temperature function. The governing derivative equations of the problem are changed to anon-linear coupled ordinary derivative equations by applying similarity quantities. The dimensionless model is solved using shooting technique along with the Runge-Kutta method. The outcomes for the flow wall friction, heat gradient and species wall gradient are offered in table and qualitatively explained. The study revealed that the Newtonian fluid viscosity can be enhanced by increasing the fluid flow medium porosity and the magnetic field strength. Hence, the study will improve the industrial usage of Newtonian working fluid.

Blasius Flow

In this paper, the combined effects of magnetic field, buoyancy forces, nth order chemical reaction, heat source, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and variable viscosity on mixed convection Blasius flow of a conducting fluid over a convectively heated permeable plate embedded in a porous medium is investigated. The fluid properties are assumed to be constant except for the density variation with the temperature and reacting chemical species concentration. The nonlinear governing differential equations were obtained and solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically. The effects of pertinent parameters on the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are examined. It is found that skin friction decreases while Nusselt number and Sherwood number increase with a decrease in the fluid viscosity in the presence of magnetic field.

The steady flow behavior of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two parallel infinite insulated horizontal porous plates with heat transfer is investigated along with the effect of an external uniform transverse magnetic field, the action of inflow normal to the plates, the pressure gradient on the flow and temperature. The fluid viscosity is supposed to vary exponentially with the temperature. A numerical solution for the governing equations for both the momentum transfer and energy transfer has been developed using the finite difference method. The velocity and temperature distribution graphs have been presented under the influence of different values of magnetic inclination, fluid pressure gradient, inflow acting perpendicularly on the plates, temperature dependent viscosity and the Hartmann number. In our study viscosity is shown to affect the velocity graph. The flow parameters such as viscosity, pressure and injection of fluid normal to the plate can cause reverse flow. For highly viscous fluid, reverse flow is observed. The effect of magnetic force helps to restrain this reverse flow.

The effect of thermal radiation on steady natural convection boundary layer flow over a plate with variable viscosity and magnetic field has been studied in this paper. The effect of suction and injection is also considered in the investigation. The system of partial differential equations governing the nonsimilar flow has been solved numerically using implicit finite difference scheme along with a quasilinearization technique. The thermal radiation has significant effect on heat transfer coefficient and thermal transport in presence of viscosity variation parameter and magnetic field in case of suction and injection.

An overview of previous researches related to the problem of flow around a bluff-body, using experimental and numerical methods, is presented in the paper. Experimental investigation was performed by a Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA), measuring velocity components of the water flow around a smooth sphere and a sphere with dimples in square channels. Measurement results in subcritical velocity flow field, velocity fluctuation components, lift, drag and pressure coefficients, and 2D Reynolds stress at quasi-stationary flow are conducted using 1D LDA probe. The obtained experimental results are compared with numerical simulations, which are performed using the ANSYS-CFX software. For the numerical simulations of quasi-steady-state flow, k-? turbulent model was used, while for numerical simulation of unsteady fluid flow and for the comparison of results related to the eddy structures, vortex shedding and Reynolds stresses, Detached Eddy Simulation were used. Since the obtained results of experimental and numerical investigation of flow around smooth sphere and sphere with dimples showed good agreement, the considered flow problem was expanded by introducing the influence of a transverse magnetic field with a slight modification of the electrical conductivity of the working fluid. The other physical properties of the fluid remained the same, which also corresponds to realistically possible physical conditions. Numerical simulations were performed for three different values of Hartmann number and very small values of Reynolds magnetic number (inductionless approximation). Comparisons and analyzes of the results were made for the cases containing a magnetic field and those with an absence of a magnetic field.

Thermal radiation has also been applied in order to investigate its effects on velocity and temperature variations in the fluid. The Caputo time derivative has been employed to derive the mathematical model. A numerical solution has been obtained using finite difference discretization along with L1-algorithm.

PurposeThe steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer over a flat plate with convective surface heat flux was considered. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations were transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically by Runge–Kutta method with the most efficient shooting technique. Then, the effect of variable viscosity and variable thermal conductivity on the fluid flow with thermal radiation effects and viscous dissipation was studied. Velocity, temperature and concentration profiles respectively were plotted for various values of pertinent parameters. It was found that the momentum slip acts as a boost for enhancement of the velocity profile in the boundary layer region, whereas temperature and concentration profiles decelerate with the momentum slip.Design/methodology/approachNumerical Solution is applied to find the solution of the boundary value problem.FindingsVelocity, heat transfer analysis is done with comparing earlier results for some standard cases.Originality/value100

The Impact

This study may be applicable in heavy power engine and cooling of a nuclear reactor, insulation for buildings, petroleum reservoir operations, and magnetic material processing solar energy collectors. In this manuscript, the slip results are evaluated for the non-Newtonian fluid on the oblique stagnation point flow of induced magnetic field over the oscillating surface. The valuation of heat flux is examined through the Fourier law of heat transfer. The metallic nanoparticle Copper Cu is within the base fluid, and water is utilized in the analysis. Nanofluids have benefits such as steadiness of the working fluid, decreasing blockage, clogs, decreasing prices, decreasing the friction coefficient, and decreasing the size of the heat transfer system. Similarity variables are utilized to convert the developed flow into higher nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODE) which are tackled numerically using a mathematical technique such as the bvp4c method in Maple and Matlab software. According to the present geometry, the flow behavior of the operating nanofluid has analyzed by stream lines. Disparities in velocity and temperature profile are demonstrated by graphs to describe the effects of controlling parameters. The Casson fluid parameter enhances the velocity of the fluid. The system heats up by the impact of Joule heating and dissipation.
