Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHeat Generation/Absorption Effect on Natural Convection Flow in a Vertical Annulus with Time-Periodic Boundary ConditionsMichael O. Oni, Basant K. JhaThe role of heat generation/absorption on natural convection flow formation in a vertical annulus with prescribed time-periodic heating is investigated in this article. The governing continuity, momentum and energy equations are converted into ordinary differential equation using suitable transformations and closed form expressions are obtained for temperature distribution, velocity profile, Nusselt number, skin friction and mass flow rate in terms … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2019 · 6,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNumerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Porous Cavity Thermally Modulated on Both Side WallsGiovani E.B. Malomar, Abdoulaye Gueye, Cheikh Mbow et al.The numerical study of natural convection in a square porous cavity saturated by a Newtonian fluid is presented in this study. The vertical walls are subjected to temperatures varying sinusoidally in time and phase opposition while the upper and lower horizontal walls are thermally adiabatic. Darcy model is used, it is also assumed the fluid studied is incompressible and obeys … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2016 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSoret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Flow Past a Vertical Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface TemperatureHassan A.M. El-ArabawyProblem statement: In this research the researchers studied and made an analysis to the heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium with surface temperature distribution proportional to xλ by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. Approach: The governing partial differential equations were transformed into a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalysis of Combined Natural Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer Using a Similarity SolutionMehdi Zeyghami, Muhammad M. RahmanA similarity solution for laminar boundary layer in a buoyancy induced flow over an isothermal, vertical wall in the presence of radiation is developed. Radiation heat transfer is taken into account by application of the Rosseland approximation in the energy conservation equation. The family of similarity solutions to the governing equations is presented. The computed results show that thermal and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 16 Oct 2015 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNumerical Comparison of Thermal Stratification due Natural Convection in Densified LOX, LN2 TanksSeyed Ali Jazayeri, Ehsan Molla Hasanzadeh KhoeiThe growth of natural circulation and thermal stratification inside LOX, LN2 storage tanks due to heat transfer from surroundings is investigated using a non-equilibrium, two-domain, mathematical model. The two-dimensional model is considered for the liquid domain in two cases and a lumped, thermodynamic model is utilized for vapor domain. The vapor is assumed to behave like an ideal gas. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
