Adomian Decomposition

ABSTRACTIn this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to solve the velocity and temperature fields in the thermal boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite flat plate. Both the flow and heat transfer solutions are calculated accurately by the Laplace Adomian decomposition method, Padé approximant and the optimal design concept. The Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) is a combination of the numerical Laplace transform algorithm with the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). A hybrid method of the LADM combined with the Padé approximant, named the LADM-Padé approximant technique, is introduced to solve the thermal boundary layer problems directly without any small parameter assumptions, linearizatons or transformations of the boundary value problems to a pair of initial value problems. The LADM-Padé approximant solutions here in are given to show the accuracy in comparison with different method solutions.

This study presents the analysis of the thermal boundary layer considering combined convection and radiation in an absorbing, emitting and scattering medium flowing over a flat plate. At high temperatures the presence of thermal radiation alters the temperature distribution in the boundary layer, which in turn affects the heat transfer at the wall. In many industrial applications, such as in the cooling of turbine and compressors blades, radiative heat transfer plays an important role. The treatment of heat transfer by combined convection and radiation in the boundary layer leads to a set of partial differential and integrodifferential equations, which must be solved simultaneously. The exact solutions are seldom possible and the investigators resort to approximate methods. In the present analysis the two-flux model is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. This model reduces the equations that govern the problem to a set of coupled partial differential equations. A finite difference scheme, called “method of columns”, is used to transform the resulting equations into an ordinary differential equation system which simplifies the solution. Results for the temperature profile and heat fluxes showed close agreement with the thin and thick limits. The method proposed proves to be useful to investigate the effect of the different radiation parameters on the thermal boundary layer, and also to be accurate enough for engineering applications.

A spreadsheet based solution of the similarity transformation equations of laminar boundary layer equations is presented. In this approach the nonlinear third order differential equations, for both the hydrodynamic and the thermal boundary layer equations, are discretesized using a simple finite difference approach which is suitable for programming spreadsheet cells. This approach was implemented to solve the similarity transform equations for a flat plate (Blasius equations). The thermal boundary layer result was used to obtain the heat transfer correlation for laminar flow over a flat plate in the form of Nu = Nu(Pr,Re). The relative difference between results of the present approach and those of published data are less than 1%. This approach can be easily covered in the undergraduate. Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer courses. Also, it can be incorporated in graduate Viscous Fluid Mechanics and Convection Heat Transfer courses. Application of the present approach is not limited to the flat plat boundary layer analysis. It can be used for the solution of a number of similarity transformation equations, including wedge flow problem and natural convection problems that are covered in graduate level courses.

Steady Velocity

The boundary-layer flow over a semi-infinite flat plate is investigated. For time t < 0 there is the usual steady velocity boundary layer and, neglecting viscous dissipation, no thermal boundary layer. At t = 0 a temperature boundary layer is initiated without altering the velocity, and the subsequent temperature distributionn is studied for large and small t.

AbstractA mathematical model for mixed convection flow of a nanofluid along a vertical wavy surface has been studied. Numerical results reveal the effects of the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the axial distribution, the Richardson number, and the amplitude/wavelength ratio on the heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid. By increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the local Nusselt number and the thermal boundary layer increases significantly. In case of \mathrm{Ri}=1.0, the inclusion of 2 % and 5 % nanoparticles in the pure fluid augments the local Nusselt number, measured at the axial position 6.0, by 6.6 % and 16.3 % for a flat plate and by 5.9 % and 14.5 %, and 5.4 % and 13.3 % for the wavy surfaces with an amplitude/wavelength ratio of 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. However, when the Richardson number is increased, the local Nusselt number is found to increase but the thermal boundary layer decreases. For small values of the amplitude/wavelength ratio, the two harmonics pattern of the energy field cannot be detected by the local Nusselt number curve, however the isotherms clearly demonstrate this characteristic. The pressure leads to the first harmonic, and the buoyancy, diffusion, and inertia forces produce the second harmonic.
