Impacts of the Properties Heterogeneity on 3D Magnetic Dusty Nanofluids Flow Within Cubic Porous Enclosures Contain Isothermal Cylinders

This paper examines the controlling of the three dimensional dusty nanofluid flow using the two circular cylinders having different thermal conditions. The cylinders are located in the middle area while the location of the right cylinder is changeable. The 3D cubic flow domain is filled by a non-Darcy porous medium and a magnetic field in Z-direction is taken place. The non-homogeneous two phase model of the nanofluid is applied while the permeability and thermal conductivity of the porous medium are assumed heterogonous. The current situation is represented by two systems of the equations for the nanofluid and dusty phases. The solutions methodology is depending on the 3D SIMPLE scheme together with the finite volume method. The major outcomes indicating to that the flow can be well controlled using the inner isothermal cylinders. Also, the cases of the heterogeneity in \(X-Y\) and \(X-Z\) directions give the lowest values of \({Nu}_{av}\).

Transient Conduction From Parallel Isothermal Cylinders

The transient heat conduction from two parallel isothermal cylinders is studied using the naturally fit bipolar cylindrical coordinates system. The energy equation is expanded in a Fourier series using appropriate basis functions to eliminate one of the physical coordinates. The resulting modes of the expansion are solved using a finite difference scheme. It is shown that, as is the case with a single isothermal cylinder in an infinite medium, steady states for two isothermal cylinders are not possible and heat transfer changes indefinitely with time.
