The prime objective of this article is to explore the entropy analysis of third-order nanofluid fluid slip flow caused by a stretchable sheet implanted in a porous plate along with thermal radiation, convective surface boundary, non-Fourier heat flux applications, and nanoparticle concentration on zero mass flux conditions. The governing physical systems are modified into non-linear ordinary systems with the aid of similarity variables, and the outcomes are solved by a homotopy analysis scheme. The impression of certain governing flow parameters on the nanoparticle concentration, temperature, and velocity is illustrated through graphs, while the alteration of many valuable engineering parameters viz. the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are depicted in graphs. Entropy generation with various parameters is obtained and discussed in detail. The estimation of entropy generation using the Bejan number find robust application in power engineering and aeronautical propulsion to forecast the smartness of entire system.

AbstractThis investigation aims to look at the thermal conductivity of dusty Micropolar nanoliquid with MHD and Cattaneo–Christov heat flux flow over an elongated sheet. The novelty of the envisioned mathematical model is augmented with the added impacts of the heat source/sink, chemical reaction with slip, convective heat, and zero mass flux boundary conditions. The salient feature of the existing problem is to discuss the whole scenario with liquid and dust phases. The graphical depiction is attained for arising pertinent parameters by using bvp4c a built-in MATLAB function. It is noticed that the thermal profile and velocity field increases for greater values of liquid particle interaction parameter in the case of the dust phase. An escalation in the thermal profile of both liquid and dust phases is noticed for the magnetic parameter. The rate of mass transfer amplifies for large estimates of the Schmidt number. The thickness of the boundary layer and the fluid velocity are decreased as the velocity slip parameter is augmented. In both dust and liquid phases, the thermal boundary layer thickness is lessened for growing estimates of thermal relaxation time. The attained results are verified when compared with a published result.

AbstractIn this article the stagnation point flow of electrically conducting micro nanofluid towards a shrinking sheet, considering a chemical reaction of first order is investigated. Involvement of magnetic field occurs in the momentum equation, whereas the energy and concentrations equations incorporated the influence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Convective boundary condition on temperature and zero mass flux condition on concentration are implemented. Partial differential equations are converted into the ordinary ones using suitable variables. The numerical technique is utilized to discuss the results for velocity, microrotation, temperature, and concentration fields.

3D simulations on confined bubbles in micro-channels with diameter of 1.24 mm were conducted. The working fluid is R134a with a mass flux range from 125kg/m2s to 375kg/m2s. The VOF model is chosen to capture the 2 phase interface while the geo-construction method was used to re-construct the 2-phase interface. A heated boundary wall with heat flux varying from 15kW/m2 to 102kW/m2 is supplied. The wall temperature was calculated. The effects of mass flux and heat flux are studied. The shape of the bubble was predicted by the simulation successfully and the results show that they are independent of the initial shape. Both thin film evaporation and micro convection enhance the heat transfer. However, the micro convection which is caused by bubble motion has greater contribution to the total heat transfer at the stage of bubble growth studied.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the forced convective boiling of refrigerant HCFC123 in a mini-tube. The inner diameters of the test tubes, D, were 0.51 mm and 0.30 mm. First, two-phase frictional pressure drops were measured under adiabatic conditions and compared with the correlations for conventional tubes. The frictional pressure drop data were lower than the correlation for conventional tubes. However, the data were qualitatively in accord with those for conventional tubes and were correlated in the form φL2−1/Xtt. Next, heat transfer coefficients were measured under the conditions of constant heat flux and compared with those for conventional tubes and for pool boiling. The heat transfer characteristics for mini-tubes were different from those for conventional tubes and quite complicated. The heat transfer coefficients for D = 0.51 mm increased with heat flux but were almost independent of mass flux. Although the heat transfer coefficients were higher than those for a conventional tube with D = 10.3 mm and for pool boiling in the low quality region, they decreased gradually with increasing quality. The heat transfer coefficients for D = 0.30 mm were higher than those for D = 0.51 mm and were almost independent of both mass flux and heat flux.

Abstract The distribution of cloud-base mass flux is studied using large-eddy simulations (LESs) of two reference cases: one representing conditions over the tropical ocean and another one representing midlatitude conditions over land. To examine what sets the difference between the two distributions, nine additional LES cases are set up as variations of the two reference cases. It is found that the total surface heat flux and its changes over the diurnal cycle do not influence the distribution shape. The latter is also not determined by the level of organization in the cloud field. It is instead determined by the ratio of the surface sensible heat flux to the latent heat flux, that is, the Bowen ratio B. This ratio sets the thermodynamic efficiency of the moist convective heat cycle, which determines the portion of the total surface heat flux that can be transformed into mechanical work of convection against mechanical dissipation. The thermodynamic moist heat cycle sets the average mass flux per cloud 〈m〉, and through 〈m〉 it also controls the shape of the distribution. An expression for 〈m〉 is derived based on the moist convective heat cycle and is evaluated against LES. This expression can be used in shallow cumulus parameterizations as a physical constraint on the mass flux distribution. The similarity between the mass flux and the cloud area distributions indicates that B also has a role in shaping the cloud area distribution, which could explain its different shapes and slopes observed in previous studies.

An experiment has recently been performed at Xi’an Jiaotong University to study the wall temperature and pressure drop at supercritical pressures with upward flow of water inside a 2×2 rod bundle. A fuel-assembly simulator with four heated rods was installed inside a square channel with rounded corner. The outer diameter of each heated rod is 8 mm with an effective heated length of 600 mm. Experimental parameters covered the pressure of 23–28 MPa, mass flux of 350–1000 kg/m2s and heat flux on the rod surface of 200–1000 kW/m2. According to the experimental data, it was found that the circumferential wall temperature distribution of a heated rod is not uniform. The temperature difference between the maximum and the minimum varies with heat flux and/or mass flux. Heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water in bundle were discussed with respect to various heat fluxes. The effect of heat flux on heat transfer in rod bundles is similar with that in tubes or annuli. In addition, flow resistance reflected in the form of pressure loss has also been studied. Experimental results showed that the total pressure drop increases with bulk enthalpy and mass flux. Four heat transfer correlations developed for supercritical pressures water were compared with the present test data. Predictions of Jackson correlation agrees closely with the experimental data.
