Nanofluid MHD natural convection through a porous complex shaped cavity considering thermal radiation

Control volume based finite element method (CVFEM) is applied to simulate H₂O based nanofluid radiative and convective heat transfer inside a porous medium. Non-Darcy model is employed for porous media. Influences of Hartmann number, nanofluid volume fraction, radiation parameter, Darcy number, number of undulations and Rayleigh number on nanofluid behavior were demonstrated. Thermal conductivity of nanofluid is estimated by means of previous experimental correlation. Results show that Nusselt number enhances with augment of permeability of porous media. Effect of Hartmann number on rate of heat transfer is opposite of radiation parameter.     

Forced convection heat transfer from porous heat sinks placed in partially open cavity: Some case studies

In this present study, the forced convection heat transfer from aluminum foam heat sinks with 10, 20, 40 PPI pore density placed in a discrete form in a partially open cavity were experimentally investigated. Air was used as working fluid. The uniform heat flux was applied to 3 × 3 array of foam heat sinks horizontally mounted in the cavity. The experimental studies were performed for the 3363–9743 range of Reynolds number and the 2.7 x 10⁶ and 7.5 x 10⁶ range of modified Grashof number. The effects of the Reynolds number, the modified Grashof number and the pore density of foam heat sink on the heat transfer were investigated. The results obtained were compared with the results obtained without foam heat sink cases. In addition, the most heated elements within the cavity were identified and solution proposals were presented. In addition, the most heated elements within the cavity were identified and solution proposals were presented.     

Comparative characterization of thermal isomerization rates of 6‐phenyl‐1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane at convection and microwave heating

Rate constants of thermal isomerization of 6‐phenyl‐1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane into 1‐(benzyl)‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrazole at convection and microwave heating in toluene and chlorobenzene (solvents) were determined within the temperature range 90°C to 120°С. These data were used for the calculation of activation parameters of isomerization. It is shown that microwave heating increases the rate constants at the same temperature by a factor of 2 to 2.5 as compared with those using convection heating. The reason is that the effective temperature of microwave heating exceeds that of convection heating by 6°C to 9°С in toluene and by 12°C to 20°С in chlorobenzene as solvent.

A 3D numerical simulation of mixed convection of a magnetic nanofluid in the presence of non-uniform magnetic field in a vertical tube using two phase mixture model

In this paper, results of applying a non-uniform magnetic field on a ferrofluid (kerosene and 4 vol% Fe₃O₄ ) flow in a vertical tube have been reported. The hydrodynamics and thermal behavior of the flow are investigated numerically using the two phase mixture model and the control volume technique. Two positive and negative magnetic field gradients have been examined. Based on the obtained results the Nusselt number can be controlled externally using the magnetic field with different intensity and gradients. It is concluded that the magnetic field with negative gradient acts similar to Buoyancy force and augments the Nusselt number, while the magnetic field with positive gradient decreases it. Also with the negative gradient of the magnetic field, pumping power increases and vice versa for the positive gradient case.     

Monotone iterative method of upper and lower solutions applied to a multilayer combustion model in porous media

This paper presents a new nonlinear reaction–diffusion–convection system coupled with a system of ordinary differential equations that models a combustion front in a multilayer porous medium. The model includes heat transfer between the layers and heat loss to the external environment. A few assumptions are made to simplify the model, such as incompressibility; then, the unknowns are determined to be the temperature and fuel concentration in each layer. When the fuel concentration in each layer is a known function, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a classical solution for the initial and boundary value problem for the corresponding system. The proof uses a new approach for combustion problems in porous media. We construct monotone iterations of upper and lower solutions and prove that these iterations converge to a unique solution for the problem, first locally and then, in time, globally.     

Influence of the surface deformability and variable viscosity on buoyant - thermocapillary instability in a liquid layer

The primary stationary and oscillatory Bénard-Marangoni instability is investigated in a fluid layer of infinite horizontal extent, bounded below by a rigid plane and above by a deformable upper surface, subjected to a vertical temperature gradient. Since the viscosity is temperature-dependent the consequences of relaxing Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation and free surface deformability are theoretically examined by means of small disturbance analysis. The problem has been solved numerically by the Taylor series expansion method. The results obtained confirm that when the free surface is undeformable, stationary convection develops in the form of polygonal cells, and oscillatory motion cannot be detected. When the surface deformability is considered, stationary convection sets in, either as a short-wavelength hexagonal instability or as a long-wavelengh mode or as both, and oscillatory convection is also possible. The stability threshold for the short-wavelength mode depends mainly on the viscosity variation while the long-wavelength mode is determined by the surface deformation. Numerically, it is found that the neutral oscillatory Marangoni numbers are only negative. When a variable-viscosity model is used the theoretical and experimental results are in better agreement.
