Heat transfer in a liquid film over an unsteady stretching surface with viscous dissipation in presence of external magnetic field

This paper presents a mathematical analysis of MHD flow and heat transfer to a laminar liquid film from a horizontal stretching surface. The flow of a thin fluid film and subsequent heat transfer from the stretching surface is investigated with the aid of similarity transformation. The transformation enables to reduce the unsteady boundary layer equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solution of resulting non-linear differential equations is found by using efficient shooting technique. Boundary layer thickness is explored numerically for some typical values of the unsteadiness parameter S and Prandtl number Pr, Eckert number Ec and Magnetic parameter Mn. Present analysis shows that the combined effect of magnetic field and viscous dissipation is to enhance the thermal boundary layer thickness.     

Heat transfer on a microcylinder with slip

The purpose of this paper is to determine the heat transfer from a semi-infinite microcylinder under uniform axial flow in the slip regime. Following the treatments of Glauert and Lighthill (Proc Royal Soc 230A:188–203, 1955), and Crane (Ingenieur-Archiv 43:203–214, 1974), an asymptotic series solution is developed to account for the heat flux in terms of the Nusselt number for large axial distances along a cylinder maintained at constant temperature.     

Existence of solutions for a nonlocal epitaxial thin film growing equation

Zusammenfassung Die Untersuchung befasst sich mit der Wärmeübertragung von den Wänden eines flachwandigen Kanals auf eine elektrisch leitende Flüssigkeit bei erzwungener Laminarströmung und in Gegenwart eines quergerichteten Magnetfeldes. Betrachtet wird der Fall konstanter Wandtemperatur mit variierender innerer Wärmeentwicklung durch viskose und elektrische Energiedissipation.

Als Resultat wird die Nusseltzahl angegeben, für die Prandtlzahl 1, die Hartmannzahlen 0, 4, 10 und die Graetzzahlen von 10 bis 10 000, wobei die Kennzahlen für Zähigkeit und elektrische Feldstärke als Parameter auftreten.     

Heat transfer in a gas mixture between parallel plates

The one-dimensional steady-state heat flux and the temperature distribution in a rarefied gas mixture between two parallel plates with different temperatures are studied using the kinetic theory. The Boltzmann equation is solved by the projection method assuming that the gas consists of elastic hard spheres and the reflection from the surfaces is diffuse. The flow features are analyzed for a wide range of the Knudsen number. The molecular numerical densities of the components, the total temperature of the mixture, and the mixture heat flux are obtained. The behavior of the distribution functions for the components is discussed. A comparison with other authors’ results shows that the accuracy of the given method is good.     

Heat transfer in channel flow of a micropolar fluid

The study of heat transfer in channel flow has been done by previous authors for Newtonian and elastico-viscous fluids. It is the aim of the present paper to study the temperature profile for flow of a micropolar fluid in a channel induced by a constant axial pressure gradient, when the walls are maintained at constant temperatures. We have examined the effects of microrotation on the temperature profile and on the kinetic energy of the fluid. Three cases have been chosen by us for detailed study: (i) both the walls are maintained at different constant temperatures, (ii) both the walls are maintained at the same constant temperature, (iii) one wall is kept at a constant temperature and there is no heat flux at the other wall.     

Heat transfer in sliding of a plane-parallel layer over a base

An analytic solution of the thermal problem of friction for a plane-parallel layer–base tribosystem under conditions of incomplete thermal contact between contacting bodies is obtained. Asymptotics of the obtained solution for small and large values of time are determined. For the materials of a cermet layer–iron base friction pair, we investigate the influence of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the contact on the temperature distribution and intensity of a heat fluxes.     

Boiling heat transfer on a sphere with turbulent vapour film

The theoretical study investigates turbulent film boiling on a sphere immersed in the stagnant liquid. It begins by assuming the surface temperature of the sphere is isothermal. The result shows that the boiling heat transfer under the turbulent vapour shows that both the temperature and the velocity present a non-linear distribution. Besides, the increase of the thermal radiation, wall temperature and buoyancy effects can enhance the heat transfer efficiency. Furthermore, a comparison between the results of the present study and those reported in a previous theoretical study of laminar film boiling is provided. It is found that turbulent film boiling with higher Rayleigh number will have higher Nusselt number.     

Heat transfer from a porous sphere in low Reynolds number flow

This paper deals with the problem of the effect of permeability in the steady state heat transfer from a single porous sphere at low Reynolds number with the assumptionsPr=0(1) andR<1. The solution is sought by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The Nusselt number,Nu, for isothermal sphere has been calculated for different values ofk, wherek being the permeability associated with the porosity of the sphere. We notice that the Nusselt number increases as the permeability increases in the range 0<R<0.35 with the Prandtl numberPr=0.7, the rate of increase is very small, while for the Reynolds numberR0.35 Nusselt number decreases ask increases and the rate of decrease is large.

Heat transfer in a peristaltic flow of MHD fluid with partial slip

In the present note, we have discussed the effects of partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a MHD Newtonian fluid in an asymmetric channel. The governing equations of motion and energy are simplified using a long wave length approximation. A closed form solution of the momentum equation is obtained by Adomian decomposition method and an exact solution of the energy equation is presented in the presence of viscous dissipation term. The expression for pressure rise is calculated using numerical integration. The trapping phenomena is also discussed. The graphical results are presented to interpret various physical parameter of interest. It is found that the temperature field decreases with the increase in slip parameter L, and magnetic field M, while with the increase in P_r and E_c, the temperature field increases.     

Heat transfer and Reynolds' analogy in a turbulent flow with heat release

Zusammenfassung Es wird die Wärmeübertragung von und zu einer voll entwickelten, wärmeabgebenden, turbulenten Strömung in einem Rohr analysiert. Durch die Anwendung der Laplace-Transformation wird die partielle Randwertaufgabe der Temperaturverteilung in einem Rohr von kreisförmigem Querschnitt auf eine gewöhnliche Sturm-Liouvillesche Randwertaufgabe zurückgeführt. Die entsprechenden Eigenwerte und Eigenfunktionen können nun mittels des Ritzschen Verfahrens für verschiedene Werte der Prandtlschen und Reynoldsschen Zahlen berechnet werden.Die Verteilung der Temperatur und des Wärmeflusses entlang der Wand erhält man in Form einer Reihe, deren Glieder diese Eigenwerte und Eigenfunktionen enthalten. Durch Verallgemeinerung des Prandtlschen Wärmequellen-Satzes wird die Reynoldssche Analogie der Wärmeübertragung und der flüssigen Reibung für eine wärmeabgebende turbulente Strömung erweitert.Die genaue asymptotische Wärmefluss und Temperaturverteilung, die man erhält, gestattet eine Abschätzung des Fehlers, den man bei einer Anwendung der Ritzschen Methode und der daraus folgenden Reihenentwicklung erhalten würde. Diese Analyse kann für die wärmeabgebenden turbulenten Strömungen in Atomreaktoren angewendet werden.

Heat transfer in linearl flows of non-newtonian fluids

The average rate of heat transferred to the channel wall when a hot incompressible third-order fluid, in rectilinear motion, flows (i) between two infinite parallel plates and (ii) in a circular tube is studied. A heat transfer coefficient has been evaluated for several values of a non-Newtonian parameter which is a measure of non-linear effects in the fluid. Enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient is found for those fluids which exhibit large strain rate gradients in the region of the channel wall.

Heat transfer in unsteady axisymmetric second grade fluid

This work looks at the heat transfer effects on the flow of a second grade fluid over a radially stretching sheet. The axisymmetric flow of a second grade fluid is induced due to linear stretching of a sheet. Mathematical analysis has been carried out for two heating processes, namely (i) with prescribed surface temperature (PST case) and (ii) prescribed surface heat flux (PHF case). The modelled non-linear partial differential equations in two dependent variables are reduced into a partial differential equation with one dependent variable. The resulting non-linear partial differential equations are solved analytically using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The series solutions are developed and the convergence is properly discussed. The series solutions and graphs of velocity and temperature are constructed. Particular attention is given to the variations of emerging parameters such as second grade parameter, Prandtl and Eckert numbers.
