Heat and mass transfer of MHD convective boundary layer flow past a stretching porous wall embedded in a porous medium

The hydromagnetic convective boundary layer flow past a stretching porous wall embedded in a porous medium with heat and mass transfer in the presence of a heat source and under the influence of a uniform magnetic field is studied. Exact solutions of the basic equations of motion, heat and mass transfer are obtained after reducing them to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The reduced equations of heat and mass transfer are solved using a confluent hypergeometric function. The effects of the flow parameters such as a suction parameter (N), magnetic parameter (M), permeability parameter (K _p ), wall temperature parameter (r), wall concentration parameter (n), and heat source/sink parameter (Q) on the dynamics are discussed. It is observed that the suction parameter appears in the boundary condition ensuring the variable suction at the surface. Transverse component of the velocity increases only when magnetic field strength exceeds certain value, but the thermal boundary layer thickness and concentration distribution increase for all values. Results presented in this paper are in good agreement with the work of the previous author and also in conformity with the established theory.

The problem of the heat transfer due to a viscous incompressible flow between two infinite parallel porous disks is considered. It is assumed that the disks are rotating with moderate angular velocity. The governing equations are solved by a perturbation procedure. The results obtained reveal that the temperature distribution is more or less parabolic, approaching to a linear from as the cross flow decreases.

Comparison between airborne ultrasound and contact ultrasound to intensify air drying of blackberry: Heat and mass transfer simulation,energy consumption and quality evaluation

This study aimed at investigating the performances of air drying of blackberries assisted by airborne ultrasound and contact ultrasound. The drying experiments were conducted in a self-designed dryer coupled with a 20-kHz ultrasound probe. A numerical model for unsteady heat and mass transfer considering temperature dependent diffusivity, shrinkage pattern and input ultrasonic energies were applied to explore the drying mechanism, while the energy consumption and quality were analyzed experimentally. Generally, both airborne ultrasound and contact ultrasound accelerated the drying process, reduced the energy consumption and enhanced the retentions of blackberry anthocyanins and organic acids in comparison to air drying alone. At the same input ultrasound intensity level, blackberries received more ultrasound energies under contact sonication (0.299 W) than airborne sonication (0.245 W), thus avoiding the attenuation of ultrasonic energies by air. The modeling results revealed that contact ultrasound was more capable than airborne ultrasound to intensify the inner moisture diffusion and heat conduction, as well as surface exchange of heat and moisture with air. During air drying, contact ultrasound treatment eliminated the gradients of temperature and moisture inside blackberry easier than airborne ultrasound, leading to more homogenous distributions. Moreover, the total energy consumption under air drying with contact ultrasound assistance was 27.0% lower than that with airborne ultrasound assistance. Besides, blackberries dehydrated by contact ultrasound contained more anthocyanins and organic acids than those dried by airborne ultrasound, implying a higher quality. Overall, direct contact sonication can well benefit blackberry drying in both energy and quality aspects.     

Heat transfer characteristics of a porous radiant burner under the influence of a 2-D radiation field

This paper deals with the heat transfer analysis of a 2-D rectangular porous radiant burner. Combustion in the porous medium is modelled as a spatially dependent heat generation zone. The gas and the solid phases are considered in non-local thermal equilibrium, and separate energy equations are used for the two phases. The solid phase is assumed to be absorbing, emitting and scattering, while the gas phase is considered transparent to radiation. The radiative part of the energy equation is solved using the collapsed dimension method. The alternating direction implicit scheme is used to solve the transient 2-D energy equations. Effects of various parameters on the performance of the burner are studied.     

Scaling approach of the convective drying of a porous medium

We propose a simplified, theoretical approach of the evolution of liquid distribution during the convective drying of a granular packing. In the absence of gravity effects three regimes are distinguished according to the relative importance of surface evaporation, capillarity or evaporation from the interior of the sample. The evolution of the drying rate as a function of the saturation can be inferred from the characteristic velocities associated to each of these effects. We also carried out drying experiments of bead packings saturated with ethanol, at four different velocities of the boundary convection current, and with bead size ranging from 4.5 to 100 μm. The drying curves exhibit different regimes with a scaling as a function of particle radius and current velocity as predicted by the theory.

Heat and mass transfer analysis of time-dependent tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow past a wedge

The candid intension of this article is to inspect the heat and mass transfer of a magnetohydrodynamic tangent hyperbolic nanofluid. The nanofluid flow has been assumed to be directed by a wedge on its way. In addition, the collective stimulus of the convective heating mode with thermal radiation is inspected. The governing set of PDEs is rendered into that of the coupled nonlinear ODEs. The resulting ordinary differential equations are then solved by the well known shooting technique for two different cases; the flow over a static wedge and flow over a stretching wedge. The impact of intricate physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles is analyzed graphically. It is noticed that the intensifying values of the generalized Biot number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter and Weissenberg number enhances the dimensionless temperature profile.     

Heat and mass transfer at the ignition of a liquid substance by a single “Hot” particle

The results of a numerical solution to the problem of heat and mass transfer at the ignition of a liquid flammable substance by a single particle heated to a high temperature located on its surface are presented. The problem is solved within the framework of a gas phase model of ignition. A mathematical model is formulated. It describes the following processes in a two-dimensional statement: the heat conduction and evaporation of a flammable liquid and the diffusion and convection of the combustible vapors in the oxidizer medium in the system “particle heated to a high temperature-liquid flammable substance-air.” The numerical investigations established the relation between the ignition delay time, the particle temperature and sizes, and the particle minimum temperature and sizes at which ignition of a combustible liquid is possible.     

Heat and mass transfer at adiabatic evaporation of binary zeotropic solutions

Results of numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer in a laminar flow of three-component gas at adiabatic evaporation of binary solutions from a flat plate are presented. The studies were carried out for the perfect solution of ethanol/methanol and zeotrope solutions of water/acetone, benzene/acetone, and ethanol/acetone. The liquid-vapor equilibrium is described by the Raoult law for the ideal solution and Carlson–Colburn model for real solutions. The effect of gas temperature and liquid composition on the heat and diffusion flows, and temperature of vapor-gas mixture at the interface is analyzed. The formula for calculating the temperature of the evaporation surface for the binary liquid mixtures using the similarity of heat and mass transfer was proposed. Data of numerical simulations are in a good agreement with the results of calculations based on the proposed dependence for all examined liquid mixtures in the considered range of temperatures and pressures.     

The role of visualization in clarifying interfacial heat and mass transfer mechanisms

Mechanisms governing heat and mass transfer at air-water interfaces may be studied experimentally and by mean of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). Flow visualizations play a central role in unraveling the mechanisms that govern these transfer rates. In particular visualizations show that the flow is organized in large structures. These are sweeps, high-speed (relative to the interface velocity) fluid traveling toward the interface, and ejections, low speed fluid moving away from the interface region. It is the frequency with which these large flow structures refresh the interface that controls mass transfer.     

Heat and mass transfer characteristics during rapid solidification of Fe-Cu peritectic alloys

The viscose flow and microstructure formation of Fe-Cu peritectic alloy melts are investigated by analyzing the velocity and temperature fields during rapid solidification, which is verified by rapid quenching experiments. It is found that a large temperature gradient exists along the vertical direction of melt puddle, whereas there is no obvious temperature variation in the tangent direction of roller surface. After being sprayed from a nozzle, the alloy melt changes the magnitude and direction of its flow and velocity rapidly at a height of about 180 μm. The horizontal flow velocity increases rapidly, but the vertical flow velocity decreases sharply. A thermal boundary layer with 160–300 μm in height and a momentum boundary layer with 160–240 μm in thickness are formed at the bottom of melt puddle, and the Reynolds number Re is in the range of 870 to 1070 in the boundary layer. With the increase of Re number, the cooling rate increases linearly and the thickness of thermal boundary layer increases monotonically. The thickness of momentum boundary layer decreases slowly at first, then rises slightly and decreases sharply. If Re < 1024, the liquid flow has remarkable effects on the microstructure formation due to dominant momentum transfer. The separated liquid phase is likely to form a fiber-like microstructure. If Re>1024, the heat transfer becomes dominating and the liquid phase flow is suppressed, which results in the formation of fine and uniform equiaxed microstructures.

Heat and mass transfer analysis on the flow of a second grade fluid in the presence of chemical reaction

The laminar flow problem of convective heat transfer for a second grade fluid over a semi-infinite plate in the presence of species concentration and chemical reaction is investigated. The governing equations are transformed into a dimensionless system of three non-linear coupled partial differential equations. These equations have been solved analytically subject to the relevant boundary conditions by employing a homotopy analysis method (HAM). It is noted that for the arising system, the HAM performs extremely well in terms of efficiency and simplicity. The influence of dimensionless pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields has been examined carefully.
