The steady flow behavior of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two parallel infinite insulated horizontal porous plates with heat transfer is investigated along with the effect of an external uniform transverse magnetic field, the action of inflow normal to the plates, the pressure gradient on the flow and temperature. The fluid viscosity is supposed to vary exponentially with the temperature. A numerical solution for the governing equations for both the momentum transfer and energy transfer has been developed using the finite difference method. The velocity and temperature distribution graphs have been presented under the influence of different values of magnetic inclination, fluid pressure gradient, inflow acting perpendicularly on the plates, temperature dependent viscosity and the Hartmann number. In our study viscosity is shown to affect the velocity graph. The flow parameters such as viscosity, pressure and injection of fluid normal to the plate can cause reverse flow. For highly viscous fluid, reverse flow is observed. The effect of magnetic force helps to restrain this reverse flow.

This paper presents the results of heat transfer measurements taken on a two-dimensional supersonic parallel diffuser. The wall static pressure distributions and the corresponding heat transfer coefficients and fluxes have been measured for a range of initial total pressures. The effects of varying the area of the diffuser cross-section for the same upstream generating nozzle have also been studied. Mach number profiles measured at sections along the diffuser show that in the presence of shock waves and a positive pressure gradient the flow is very much underdeveloped. In general, the mean level of heat transfer is found to be much greater than that predicted by conventional empirical equations for subsonic pipe flows with zero pressure gradient. Further, on comparison between normal and oblique shock diffusion the former is found to give the higher level of heat transfer.

The present investigation is concerned with the problem of heat transfer and peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid using Rabinowitsch fluid model through a channel under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. Expressions for velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, friction force and temperature have been obtained. The effect of different parameters on velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, streamlines, friction force and temperature have been discussed through graphs.

Experimental measurements of heat transfer (St) are reported for low speed flow over scaled turbine roughness models at three different freestream pressure gradients: adverse, zero (nominally), and favorable. The roughness models were scaled from surface measurements taken on actual, in-service land-based turbine hardware and include samples of fuel deposits, TBC spallation, erosion, and pitting as well as a smooth control surface. All St measurements were made in a developing turbulent boundary layer at the same value of Reynolds number (Rex≅900,000). An integral boundary layer method used to estimate cf for the smooth wall cases allowed the calculation of the Reynolds analogy (2St/cf). Results indicate that for a smooth wall, Reynolds analogy varies appreciably with pressure gradient. Smooth surface heat transfer is considerably less sensitive to pressure gradients than skin friction. For the rough surfaces with adverse pressure gradient, St is less sensitive to roughness than with zero or favorable pressure gradient. Roughness-induced Stanton number increases at zero pressure gradient range from 16–44% (depending on roughness type), while increases with adverse pressure gradient are 7% less on average for the same roughness type. Hot-wire measurements show a corresponding drop in roughness-induced momentum deficit and streamwise turbulent kinetic energy generation in the adverse pressure gradient boundary layer compared with the other pressure gradient conditions. The combined effects of roughness and pressure gradient are different than their individual effects added together. Specifically, for adverse pressure gradient the combined effect on heat transfer is 9% less than that estimated by adding their separate effects. For favorable pressure gradient, the additive estimate is 6% lower than the result with combined effects. Identical measurements on a “simulated” roughness surface composed of cones in an ordered array show a behavior unlike that of the scaled “real” roughness models. St calculations made using a discrete-element roughness model show promising agreement with the experimental data. Predictions and data combine to underline the importance of accounting for pressure gradient and surface roughness effects simultaneously rather than independently for accurate performance calculations in turbines.
