Effect of variable viscosity and viscous dissipation on the Hagen‐Poiseuille flow and entropy generation

In this article, the steady‐state flow of a Hagen‐Poiseuille modelin a circular pipe is considered and entropy generation due tofluid friction and heat transfer is examined. Because of variationin fluid viscosity, the entropy generation in the flow varies. Inhis model, Arrhenius law is applied for temperature equation‐dependent viscosity, and the influence of viscosity parameters on the entropy generation number and distribution of temperature and velocity is investigated. The governing momentum and energy equations, which are coupled due to the dissipative term in the energy equation, were solved by analytical techniques. The solutions of equations via perturbation method and homotopy perturbation method are obtained and then compared with those of numerical solutions. It is found that the fluid viscosity influences considerably the temperature distribution in the fluid close to the pipe wall, and increasing pipe wall temperature enhances the rate of entropy generation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Forced convective flow and heat transfer past an unconfined blunt headed cylinder at different angles of incidence

In the present paper, a numerical investigation has been carried out to study the forced convective flow and heat transfer characteristics past a blunt-headed cylinder in crossflow. Employing air as an operating fluid, calculations are carried out for a range of Reynolds number (Re) from 40 to 160. The angle of incidence is varied in the range of 0^∘ ≤ α ≤ 180 ^∘. The thermofluid features of flow and heat transport are analysed in detail for different angles of incidence. To analyse the aerodynamic characteristics, several parameters such as drag and lift coefficients, moment coefficient, Strouhal number, recirculation length, and local time-averaged vorticity flux have been calculated. Furthermore, a stability analysis has been undertaken by using the Stuart Landau equation to enumerate the critical Reynolds number at each angle of incidence. Heat transfer characteristics are studied by computing local and time-averaged values of Nusselt numbers. When compared to a rectangular cylinder, a blunt-headed cylinder exhibits an enhanced heat transfer rate. In the end, an entropy generation analysis has been carried out to study the effects of Re and angle of incidence on the efficiency of thermofluid transport characteristics.     

On the analytical solution for MHD natural convection flow and heat generation fluid in porous medium

Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to investigate the momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of MHD natural convection flow and heat generation fluid driven by a continuously moving permeable surface immersed in a fluid saturated porous medium. The solution is found to be dependent on several governing parameters, including the magnetic field strength parameter, Prandtl number, Darcy number, the dimensionless inertia coefficient, the dimensionless heat generation/absorption coefficient and the dimensionless suction/blowing coefficient. A parametric study of all governing parameters is carried out and representative results are illustrated to reveal a typical tendency of the solutions. Representative results are presented for velocity and temperature distributions as well as the local friction coefficient and local Nusselt number. Finally, a proper discussion is derived on the obtained results and some remarkable conclusions are mentioned.     

Buoyancy and chemical reaction effects on MHD mixed convection heat and mass transfer in a porous medium with thermal radiation and Ohmic heating

The combined effect of mixed convection with thermal radiation and chemical reaction on MHD flow of viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical permeable surface embedded in a porous medium is analyzed. The heat equation includes the terms involving the radiative heat flux, Ohmic dissipation, viscous dissipation and the internal absorption whereas the mass transfer equation includes the effects of chemically reactive species of first-order. The non-linear coupled differential equations are solved analytically by perturbation technique. The results obtained show that the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are appreciably influenced by the presence of chemical reaction, thermal stratification and magnetic field. It is observed that the effect of thermal radiation and magnetic field is to decrease the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles in the boundary layer. There is also considerable effect of magnetic field and chemical reaction on skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number.

Heat and mass transfer in MHD non-Darcian flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous media with non-uniform heat source and thermal radiation

A mathematical analysis has been carried out to study magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer characteristic on steady two-dimensional flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium with uniform magnetic field. Momentum boundary layer equation takes into account of transverse magnetic field whereas energy equation takes into account of Ohmic dissipation due to transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation and non-uniform source effects. An analysis has been performed for heating process namely the prescribed wall heat flux (PHF case). The governing system of partial differential equations is first transformed into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The transformed equations are non-linear coupled differential equations which are then linearized by quasi-linearization method and solved very efficiently by finite-difference method. Favorable comparisons with previously published work on various special cases of the problem are obtained. The effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration distributions are presented graphically and in tabular form.     

Application of a direct method for solving the Boltzmann equation in supersonic flow computation

The Boltzmann kinetic equation is used to numerically study the evolution of separated flows over a backward-facing step at low Knudsen numbers. The Boltzmann equation is solved by applying an explicit–implicit scheme. To improve the efficiency of the solution algorithm, it is parallelized with the help of MPI. The solution obtained with the kinetic equation is compared with those based on continuous medium equations. It is shown that the kinetic approach makes it possible to reproduce the distributions of surface pressure, friction coefficient, and heat transfer, as well as to obtain a flow structure close to experimental data.     

Numerical study of melting in an enclosure with discrete protruding heat sources

In order to explore the capability of a solid–liquid phase change material (PCM) for cooling electronic or heat storage applications, melting of a PCM in a vertical rectangular enclosure was studied. Three protruding generating heat sources are attached on one of the vertical walls of the enclosure, and generating heat at a constant and uniform volumetric rate. The horizontal walls are adiabatic. The power generated in heat sources is dissipated in PCM (n-eicosane with the melting temperature, T_m = 36 °C) that filled the rectangular enclosure. The advantage of using PCM is that it is able to absorb high amount of heat generated by heat sources due to its relatively high energy density. To investigate the thermal behaviour and thermal performance of the proposed system, a mathematical model based on the mass, momentum and energy conservation equations was developed. The governing equations are next discretised using a control volume approach in a staggered mesh and a pressure correction equation method is employed for the pressure–velocity coupling. The PCM energy equation is solved using the enthalpy method. The solid regions (wall and heat sources) are treated as fluid regions with infinite viscosity and the thermal coupling between solid and fluid regions is taken into account using the harmonic mean of the thermal conductivity method. The dimensionless independent parameters that govern the thermal behaviour of the system were next identified. After validating the proposed mathematical model against experimental data, a numerical investigation was next conducted in order to examine the thermal behaviour of the system by analyzing the flow structure and the heat transfer during the melting process, for a given values of governing parameters.
