Control of turbulence through use of lattice meshes has been a main topic in fluid-dynamic literature since mid of last century. A specific class of lattice meshes, known as expanded metal meshes, EMS, has been proposed for baffles design in novel longitudinal flow heat exchanger technology for promotion of turbulence under limited pressure drops about two decades ago. Present investigation aims at developing a simple model for the design and optimization of suitable EMS geometry for its utilization as turbulence promoter in shell&tube heat exchangers for industrial applications. Novelty of approach relies on pressure drops based geometry design for improved functional product features.

The paper presents the production technology and properties of layered metallic composites in view of their use for the creation of highly efficient phase-change heat exchangers. It discusses the experimental results of the boiling heat transfer of distilled water and ethanol under atmospheric pressure on copper substrates on which a metal mesh layer, which augments heat transfer via boiling, was applied by sintering. The sintering technology enables durable bonds to be obtained between the joined elements, which results in proper strength properties. The meshes used in the experiments were made of bronze, brass and copper. The heat transfer results indicate that all the samples with the additional layer showed better performance - they dissipated more heat at the same temperature difference in comparison to the smooth surface without any mesh applied onto it, while the copper mesh outperformed the others. It seems to be linked to the highest thermal conductivity of this material in relation to the copper alloys considered in the study.

The article presents a numerical modeling approach that utilizes the Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate the solidification process of a casting in a mold. The study takes into account the local width of the air gap at each computational point on the interface between the casting and the mold. The developed numerical model provides a detailed understanding of the heat transfer between the casting and the mold during the solidification. The study shows that the air gap with variable width has a significant impact on the solidification process, affecting the cooling rate and the formation of the solidified region.

We delve into the ‘effects of hall currents on the dynamics of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer within a two-fluid system of ionized gases confined within a horizontal channel bounded by parallel conducting plates. Employing a regular perturbation technique, we solve the governing partial differential equations to unveil the distributions of velocity and temperature, alongside profiles depicting heat transfer coefficients. Through a systematic parametric analysis, we explore the interplay among variables such as the Hartmann number, Hall parameter, and ratios involving viscosities, heights, electrical conductivities, and thermal conductivities. The results highlight the profound influence of these parameters on the dynamics of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat transfer within a flow regime characterized by a dual-ionized fluid’. This influence is particularly pronounced when the lateral plates of the channel are conductive. Significantly, elevated Hartmann numbers and Hall parameters are associated with augmented heat transfer coefficients at both plates, holding other variables constant.

An accurate parameterization of an irregular surge across a continuously propelled circulation through an endless isothermal inclined plate has been investigated in the presence of a first-degree uniform chemical reaction. Both the plate’s temperature and the proximal intensity are increased systematically. To evaluate non-dimensional equations, the Laplace transform is utilized. The effect of velocity components on a range of physical parameters is investigated which include Sc, Pr, Gr, Gc, α, K and t. A proportionate increase of velocity with Gr and Gc was prominent. τ and Sh were mathematically determined.

An unsteady flow and heat transmission of ionized gases via a horizontal channel enclosed by non-conducting plates in a rotating framework with Hall currents is examined using electro-magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) two-fluid heat flow. The Hall current impact is taken into account by assuming that the gases are totally ionized, the applied transverse magnetic field is very strong. For temperature and velocity distributions in two-fluid flow regions, the governing equations are solved analytically. For numerous physical parameters such as the Hartmann number, Hall parameter, rotation parameter, viscosity ratio, and so on, numerical solutions are visually displayed. It was discovered that an increase in temperature in the two regions is caused by the thermal conductivity ratio. It was also realized that an increase in rate of heat transfer coefficient at the plates is caused by either the Hartman number or the Hall parameter.

The influence of slip parameter, viscous dissipation, and Joule heating parameter on MHD boundary layer nanofluid flow over a permeable wedge-shaped surface was analysed. The PDEs and the associated boundary conditions were transformed to a set of non-similar ODEs and the obtained system of equations was solved numerically with the help of the spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM) by applying suitable software. This method helps to identify the accuracy and convergence of the present problem. The current numerical results were compared with previously published work and are found to be similar. The fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and nanoparticle concentration within the boundary layer region for various values of the parameters such as the slip effect, magnetic strength, Prandtl number, Lewis number, stretching ratio, viscous dissipation, suction, Brownian motion, Joule heating, heat generation, and thermophoresis are studied. It is observed that the Brownian motion, Joule heating, viscous dissipation, and thermophoresis lead to decreases in the heat and mass transfer rate. The skin friction coefficient enhances with slip, magnetic, permeability, and suction parameters, but reduces with the Brownian motion, wedge angle, and stretching ratio parameters whereas there is no effect of mixed convection, thermophoresis, heat generation parameters, the Prandtl and Eckert number.

In the present paper, a theoretical analysis is made to investigate fluid flow and heat energy transformation features of single and multi-walled water functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with uniform heat inconstancy boundary conditions onward a flat plate. The liquid motion and momentum transfer of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been analyzed using a homogeneous flow model. Both single-wall CNTs (SWCNTs) and multi-wall CNTs (MWCNTs) used base fluids, namely, water. The thermophysical characteristics of CNTs regarding the solid volume fraction of CNTs are studied by applying empirical correlations. Similarity transformations have been used to the governing partial differential equations turning them into ordinary differential equations. The outcome of similarity transformations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations subjected to reconstructed boundary conditions, are subsequently solved numerically using bvp4c. The effects of the governing parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and skin friction are investigated numerically and graphically. An increase in the volume fraction and the velocity ratio parameter increase the flow, the velocity, and the temperature profile. Regardless of any physical parameter, SWCNTs give better heat transfer than MWCNTs.

In this paper, an unsteady 2-D incompressible fluid flow with heat and mass transfer in a four-sided lid driven square cavity is investigated numerically. The top, bottom, left, and right walls of the square cavity move to the right, left, downward and upward respectively. All four sides of the cavity move with a uniform velocity. The flow variables are simulated below the critical Reynolds numbers with isothermal and mass-transfer conditions in the square cavity. We have used a streamfunction-vorticity (ψ - ξ) formulation to investigate the fluid flow in terms of flow variables ψ, ξ, T and C at low Reynolds numbers (Re). The Prandtl number (Pr) and Schmidt number (Sc) have been chosen as 6:62 and 10, 50, 100, 150 respectively, in order to calculate the numerical solutions of T and C. The matrix method has been used to evaluate the stability and convergence of the numerical scheme. The conditions obtained from the matrix method have been used to arrive at the numerical solutions with desired accuracy.

This work investigates the effects of radiation and Eckert number on an MHD flow with heat transfer rate near a stagnation-point region over a nonlinear vertical stretching sheet. Using a similarity transformation, the governing equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically using the sixth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. Tabular and graphical results are provided to examine the physical nature of the problem. Heat transfer rate at the surface decreases with radiation, Eckert number and as radiation increases, the flow temperature also increases for velocity ratio parameters […].

The drying and humidifying processes of capillary-porous (colloid) bodies occur during the production of various materials for the consumer goods industry, building materials, storage of museum pieces, etc. It is known that the main linkage forms of the moisture and colloid capillary-porous bodies (CCPBs), namely adsorption, capillary condensation and capillary linkage of the free moisture in the cavities of the above bodies, depend on the temperature and relative humidity of drying/humidifying agent. It means that the CCPBs behave in a peculiar way depending on the temperature and humidity fields. The problems of CCPBs drying (or humidifying) process include the issue of the heat and humidity transfer both in the middle of the body and in the boundary layer on the interface of phases “body (object of drying/humidifying process) – environment”. The drying/humidifying intensity is at its maximum when the possibilities of the heat and mass transfer in the boundary layer correspond to the possibilities of moisture and heat moving inside the object of drying/humidifying process. The properties of the CCPB as material possessing specific elastic-viscous properties are described within the framework of O.Y. Ishlinskiy - O.R. Rzhanitsin generalized elastic-viscous body theory. A comparative analysis of the above mentioned CCPB’s properties from the point of view of Zener thermodiffusion theory is conducted. The mechanism of moisture transferring from the CCPBs’ central layers (as object of drying/humidifying process) up to their surfaces is developed. The theoretical researches examined the drying/humidifying phenomena for both the entire volume of the CCPB and three structural directions. It is noted that drying/humidifying of CCPBs is a complicated heat and mass transfer process accompanied by mechanisms of molecular nature determining the kinetics of their running. It is shown that the appropriate equations’ solution of molecular-molar heat and moisture transfer under the appropriate boundary (limit) conditions allows to describe the fields, i.e. the distribution of transfer potentials (the temperature and moisture content in the CCPB as object of drying/humidifying) at any time of the appropriate process. The drying/humidifying curves (“drying/humidifying rate versus CCPB humidity”) and the temperature curves (“CCPB temperatures versus CCPB humidity”) reflect the nature of the drying/humidifying processes. In the framework of the proposed generalized rheological model of CCPB, the residual deformations of bodies for various load types (the time-varying stress applied to the CCPB) is estimated.

This paper investigates a chemically reactive Magnetohydrodynamics fluid flow with heat and mass transfer over a permeable surface taking into consideration the buoyancy force, injection/suction, heat source/sink and thermal radiation. The governing momentum, energy and concentration balance equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by method of similarity transformation and solved numerically by Runge- Kutta method based on Shooting technique. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration fields are discussed graphically. Comparison of this work with previously published works on special cases of the problem was carried out and the results are in excellent agreement. Results also show that the thermo physical parameters in the momentum boundary layer equations increase the skin friction coefficient but decrease the momentum boundary layer. Fluid suction/injection and Prandtl number increase the rate of heat transfer. The order of chemical reaction is quite significant and there is a faster rate of mass transfer when the reaction rate and Schmidt number are increased.

This paper proposes a method to numerically study viscous incompressible two-dimensional steady flow in a driven square cavity with heat and concentration sources placed on its side wall. The method proposed here is based on streamfunction-vorticity (Ψ-ξ) formulation. We have modified this formulation in such a way that it suits to solve the continuity, x and y-momentum, energy and mass transfer equations which are the governing equations of the problem under investigation in this study. No-slip and slip wall boundary conditions for velocity, temperature and concentration are defined on walls of a driven square cavity. In order to numerically compute the streamfunction Ψ, vorticityfunction ξ , temperature θ, concentration C and pressure P at different low, moderate and high Reynolds numbers, a general algorithm was proposed. The sequence of steps involved in this general algorithm are executed in a computer code, developed and run in a C compiler. We propose that, with the help of this code, one can easily compute the numerical solutions of the flow variables such as velocity, pressure, temperature, concentration, streamfunction, vorticityfunction and thereby depict and analyze streamlines, vortex lines, isotherms and isobars, in the driven square cavity for low, moderate and high Reynolds numbers. We have chosen suitable Prandtl and Schmidt numbers that enables us to define the average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers to study the heat ad mass transfer rates from the left wall of the cavity. The stability criterion of the numerical method used for solving the Poisson, vorticity transportation, energy and mass transfer has been given. Based on this criterion, we ought to choose appropriate time and space steps in numerical computations and thereby, we may obtain the desired accurate numerical solutions. The nature of the steady state solutions of the flow variables along the horizontal and vertical lines through the geometric center of the square cavity has been discussed and analyzed. To check the validity of the computer code used and corresponding numerical solutions of the flow variables obtained from this study, we have to compare these with established steady state solutions existing in the literature and they have to be found in good agreement.

In the paper two non-integer order, state space models of heat transfer process are compared. The first uses a known Caputo operator and the second – a new operator proposed by Caputo and Fabrizio in 2015. Both discussed models are modifications of a known, integer order, state space, semigroup model of heat transfer process. Parameters of both models were identified by means of optimization of MSE cost function with the use of simplex method, available in MATLAB. Both proposed models have been compared in the aspect of accuracy and convergence. Analytical and numerical results show that the Caputo-Fabrizio model is faster convergent and easier to implement than the Caputo model. However, its accuracy in the sense of MSE cost function is worse.

It is necessary to carry out investigations on device behaviour before it will work in real conditions. Helpful tools are CAD systems and numerical simulations on virtual geometric models. They allow relatively cheap and fast analysis of devices without using expensive real models. This paper presents a method of multichannel pipe design with the help of a CAD system in terms of its strength and working conditions as an internal heat exchanger with carbon dioxide as a refrigerant. Two aluminium alloys were chosen: AA 3103-H112 and AA 6060-T6, and several shapes of channels. Results show that the selection of proper materials is one of the most important stages. It affects the strength of the pipe. A second significant parameter is the shape of external channels. It has been shown that it is important to choose proper value of radius R1 (corner between upper area of external channel and lateral surface of external channel). For the analysed type of multichannel pipe, the most appropriate value of radius R1 was 1 mm. As for heat exchange between fluids in internal and external channels, an important parameter was the thickness of the wall between the mentioned channels. It has been demonstrated that heat exchange efficiency depends on wall thickness and on the way of achieving this.

Często konieczne jest przeprowadzenie badania zachowania się urządzenia zanim będzie pracowało w warunkach rzeczywistych. Jednym z przydatnych narzędzi to umożliwiających są systemy CAD oraz symulacje numeryczne przeprowadzane na wirtualnych modelach geometrycznych. Pozwalają one na dokonanie stosunkowo taniej i szybkiej analizy urządzenia bez konieczności użycia kosztownych modeli rzeczywistych. W artykule przedstawiono metodę projektowania rury wielokanałowej przy pomocy systemów CAD pod kątem ich wytrzymałości i warunków pracy jako wewnętrznego wymiennika ciepła z dwutlenkiem węgla, pełniącym rolę czynnika chłodniczego. Do analizy wybrano dwa stopy aluminium: 3103-H112 i 6060-T6 oraz kilka różnych kształtów kanałów. Wyniki pokazały, że dobór odpowiednich materiałów jest jednym z najważ- niejszych etapów projektowania rur. Ma to wpływ na wytrzymałość rury. Drugim istotnym parametrem jest kształt kanałów zewnętrznych. Wykazano, że dobór odpowiedniej wartości promienia R1 (narożnik pomiędzy górną i boczną powierzchnią kanału zewnętrznego) jest istotny. Dla analizowanego typu rury wielokanałowej wartość promienia R1 równa 1 mm była najbardziej właściwa. W przypadku wymiany ciepła pomiędzy płynami w kanałach zewnętrznych i wewnętrznym ważnym parametrem była grubość ścianki pomiędzy wymienionymi kanałami. Wykazano, że efektywność wymiany ciepła zależy od grubości ścianki oraz od sposobu osiągnięcia jej zmiany.

Heat transfer processes occurring in the micro-domains can be described using the dual-phase lag equation (DPLE). This equation can be applied as a model of heating of the thin metal film subjected to the femtosecond laser pulse. In the paper, the 1D dual phase lag equation containing the additional internal heat source resulting from the laser pulse irradiation and supplemented by the appropriate boundary and initial conditions is considered. Appearing in this equation two lag times τq the phase lag of the heat flux) and τT (the phase lag of the temperature gradient) are taken into account. An analytical solution of this equation under the assumption that τT > τq is presented. The separation of the variables technique and the Green’s function method are used in order to find this solution. In the final part of the paper, the example of computations is presented.

An unsteady magnetohydromagnetic natural convection on the Couette flow of electrically conducting water at 4°C (Pr = 11.40) in a rotating system has been considered. A Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed to find the numerical solutions of the dimensionless governing coupled boundary layer partial differential equations. The primary velocity, secondary velocity and temperature of water at 4°C as well as shear stresses and rate of heat transfer have been obtained for both ramped temperature and isothermal plates. The results are independent of the mesh (grid) size and the present numerical solutions through the Finite Element Method (FEM) are in good agreement with the existing analytical solutions by the Laplace Transform Technique (LTT). These are shown in tabular and graphical forms.
