Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFlow of Temperature-dependent Viscous Fluid Between Parallel Heated Walls: Exact Analytical Solutions in the Presence of Viscous DissipationK. S. Adegbie, F. I. AlaoWe examine steady incompressible flow of viscous liquids between parallel heated walls of plane Couette device. The temperature of the upper and lower walls of the device are maintained at T = Tb and T = T0 respectively. Of a particular interest are exact analytical solutions of the coupled non-linear differential equations resulting from plane Couette flow obtained for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudies on the Influence of Various Blade Outlet Angles in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous FluidsM.H.S. Fard, F.A. BoyaghchiIn this study the centrifugal pump performances with different blade outlet angles are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this study shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flows inside the centrifugal pump with different blade outlet angles. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,706 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUNSTEADY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ALONG A STRETCHING CYLINDER AN ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONM. Y. AklThe axisymetric laminar boundary layer unsteady flow along a continuously stretching cylinder immersed in a viscous and incompressible fluid is studied. The governing partial boundary layer equations in cylindrical form are first transformed into ordinary differential equations these equations are solved analytically using the optimal modified Homotopy Asymptotic method in order to get a closed form solution for the dimensionless … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 7,152 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simplified Analytical Modeling of the Hole Erosion TestMohammed Bezzazi, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Miguel Prron Vera et al.Problem statement: Internal erosion occurs in soils containing fine particles under the action of high pressure gradients that could result from water discharge. This phenomenon can yield in its final stage to the formation of piping which constitutes a real threat for hydraulics infrastructures as it can precipitate their entire rupture in very short time. In order to mitigate this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 8,025 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,783 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Flow in a Horizontal Sand FilterRuth Mossad, Hal AralProblem statement: Horizontal sand filters may offer some advantage over vertical sand filters as they could be used for in-line treatment of wastewaters. Horizontal pipelines of tens and if not hundreds of meters length, filled with ordinary sand or permeable reactive media such as activated carbon or natural zeolite or iron filings, may be used to remove impurities from mine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,502 accessesView PDF Cite
