Effects of electric fields on thermal convection in gases

Summary Extensive measurements of the coefficient of electroconvective heat transfer have been carried out in gases: air, Ar, N₂, O₂, freon-12 and freon-22, using a single platinum wire mounted along the axis of a copper cylinder. The diameter of the cylinder was 53 mm, while that of the wire was 0.025 mm. Electroconvective heat transfer coefficients have been measured as a function of electric field, pressure, orientation and frequency of the applied electric field in the earth's gravitational field. The results reveal a complicated interaction between the electric-field gradient and thermal convection. The present work indicates that the Senftleben mechanism alone cannot account for the observed phenomena.     

Entropy flow in a two-component system with periodic geophysical inputs

Summary In a model solar dwelling described elsewhere, the temperature of the interior is controlled with the objective of making that temperature as nearly constant as possible simply by controlling the heat conductance between the heat-storing walls and the interior. This discussion examines the production of entropy in such a system, and how that entropy production is affected by how the control is used. The problem is described by three unknown functions, governed by a system of two nonlinear differential equations plus a variational equation. The functioning of the control appears as a modification of the entropy production and can be measured by an entropy-efficiency defined here. The system analyses the geophysical periodic inputs, solar radiation and terrestrial temperature, by a set of control bits to which belongs a welldefined entropy profile.

Riassunto In un modello di casa solare descritto in un precedente lavoro un controllo periodico regola la conducibilità termica fra pareti ed interno allo scopo di rendere la temperatura interna il piú possibile costante. In questa discussione esaminiamo la produzione di entropia in questo sistema in relazione all'azione di controllo. Il problema è descritto da due equazioni differenziali piú una equazione variazionale e le funzioni incognite sono tre: due temperature piú una funzione di controllo. Il funzionamento del controllo modifica la produzione di entropia e si può riassumere con una ?efficienza di entropia? definita in questo lavoro. Il sistema analizza degli input geofisici, flusso solare e temperatura am biente, con un profilo di entropia controllata.

Stability of cylindrical conducting fluids with heat and mass transfer in longitudinal periodic electric field

A novel system to study the effect of an axial periodic electric field on the stability of a system of cylinders of conducting fluids in the presence of heat and mass transfer is investigated. The stability of a cylindrical interface between the vapor and liquid phases of a fluid is studied when the vapor is hotter than the liquid and the two phases are enclosed between two cylindrical surfaces coaxial with the interface. The linear dispersion relation is found to be of damped Mathieu-type equation with real coefficients. The method of multiple time scales is used to obtain approximate solution and analyze the stability criteria for both the nonresonant and resonant cases. The stability of the system is also discussed analytically and numerically for such cases. It is found that both the heat and mass transfer coefficient and the dimensions of the system have destabilizing influences on the considered system, while azimuthal wavenumber is found to have a stabilizing effect. The dual role of the electric field frequency is also observed on the stability of the system depending on the electrical conductivities values. Finally the behaviour of the resonance points corresponding to the effects of each of the above physical parameters are determined, and a comparison between the obtained results with the corresponding results in the case of a constant applied electric field is achieved.     

Convective heat transfer flow of nanofluid in a porous medium over wavy surface

In this letter, water base nanofluid flow over wavy surface in a porous medium of spherical packing beds is investigated. The copper oxides particles are taken into account. These properties are rehabilitated when fluid interacts with porous walls. For porous medium, Dupuit–Forchheimer model; an extension of Darcy's law model is utilized. The natures of velocity and temperature profiles of nanofluid are discussed graphically whereas the values of convection heat transfer coefficient in the presence of different nanoparticles concentrations in porous medium is presented in tabular form. The obtained results illustrate that convection heat transfer is improved by nanoparticles concentration but reduces when fluid attract to pores structured medium. On the other hand, when particles are added in fluid, convection heat transfer rate is improved but flow velocity is declined.     

A survey on infrared thermography for convective heat transfer measurements

During the past several years infrared thermography has evolved into a powerful investigative means of thermo-fluid-dynamic analysis to measure convective heat fluxes as well as to investigate the surface flow field behaviour over complicated body shapes. The basic concepts that govern this innovative measurement technique together with some particular aspects linked to its use are herein reviewed. Different operating methods together with their implementations are also discussed. Finally, the capability of infrared thermography to deal with several simple, or complex, fluid flow configurations is analysed.     

Heat transfer in boundary layer stagnation-point flow towards a shrinking sheet with non-uniform heat flux

In this paper, the effect of non-uniform heat flux on heat transfer in boundary layer stagnation-point flow over a shrinking sheet is studied. The variable boundary heat fluxes are considered of two types: direct power-law variation with the distance along the sheet and inverse power-law variation with the distance. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into non linear self-similar ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by similarity transformations, and then those are solved using very efficient shooting method. The direct variation and inverse variation of heat flux along the sheet have completely different effects on the temperature distribution. Moreover, the heat transfer characteristics in the presence of non-uniform heat flux for several values of physical parameters are also found to be interesting.

Artificial electric field in fermi liquids

Based on the Keldysh formalism, we derive an effective Boltzmann equation for a quasiparticle constrained within a particular Fermi surface in an interacting Fermi liquid. This provides a many-body derivation of Berry curvatures in electron dynamics with spin-orbit coupling, which has received much attention in recent years in noninteracting models. As is well known, the Berry curvature in momentum space modifies na?ve band dynamics via an "artificial magnetic field" in momentum space. Our Fermi liquid formulation completes the reinvention of modified band dynamics by introducing in addition an artificial electric field, related to Berry curvature in frequency and momentum space. We show explicitly how the artificial electric field affects the renormalization factor and transverse conductivity of interacting U(1) Fermi liquids with nondegenerate bands.     

Impact of non-uniform heat sink/source and convective condition in radiative heat transfer to Oldroyd-B nanofluid: A revised proposed relation

Nanofluids are embryonic as auspicious thermo liquids for application of heat transfer which have been scrutinized precisely, in current eons. Thermo-physical properties of these liquids have noteworthy stimulus on their heat transfer features. The manifestation of dense nanoparticles in the base liquid ominously intensifies the effective liquid thermal conductivity and therefore heightens the features of heat transfer. The highest attention of this exertion is to investigate the features of nanoparticles mass flux conditions and non-uniform heat sink/source on magnetite Oldroyd-B nanofluid. Additionally, heat convective and thermal radiation mechanisms are considered. Homotopic approach has been established for the solution of non-linear structures. The upshots elucidate that the Brownian and thermophrosis nanoparticles exaggerate the temperature field, however analogous tendency is being noted for thermal radiation and non-uniform heat sink/source parameters. This exertion also investigated that the concentration of Oldroyd-B nanofluid decline for curvature parameter and augment for thermophrosis parameter. In addition, for the endorsement of up-to-date derived clarifications a comparison table of skin friction coefficient is organized in limiting circumstances.     

Reverse electric field Monte Carlo simulation for vector radiative transfer in the atmosphere

In this paper, a reverse electric field Monte Carlo （REMC） method is proposed to study the vector radiation transfer in the atmosphere. The REMC is based on tracing the multiply scattered electric field to simulate the vector transmitted radiance. The reflected intensities with different total optical depth values are obtained, which accord well with the results in the previous research. Stokes vector and the degree of polarization are numerically investigated. The simulation result shows that when the solar zenith angle is determined, the zenith angle of detector has two points, of which the degree of polarization does not change with the ground albedo and the optical depth. The two points change regularly with the solar zenith angle. Moreover, our REMC method can be applied to the vector radiative transfer in the atmosphere-ocean system.

New electro-optic effect: sum-frequency generation from optically active liquids in the presence of a dc electric field

We report the observation of sum-frequency signals that depend linearly on an applied electrostatic field and that change sign with the handedness of an optically active solute. This recently predicted chiral electro-optic effect exists in the electric-dipole approximation. The static electric field gives rise to an electric-field-induced sum-frequency signal (an achiral third-order process) that interferes with the chirality-specific sum-frequency at second order. The cross-terms linear in the electrostatic field constitute the effect and may be used to determine the absolute sign of second- and third-order nonlinear-optical susceptibilities in isotropic media.
