PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of time-periodic thermal boundary conditions on natural convection flow in a vertical micro-annulus.Design/methodology/approachAnalytical solution in terms of Bessel’s function and modified Bessel’s function of order 0 and 1 is obtained for velocity, temperature, Nusselt number, skin friction and mass flow rate.FindingsIt is established that the role of Knudsen number and fluid–wall interaction parameter is to decrease fluid temperature, velocity, Nusselt number and skin friction.Research limitations/implicationsNo laboratory practical or experiment was conducted.Practical implicationsCooling device in electronic panels, card and micro-chips is frequently cooled by natural convection.Originality/valueIn view of the amount of works done on natural convection in microchannel, it becomes interesting to investigate the effect that time-periodic heating has on natural convection flow in a vertical micro-annulus. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of time-periodic thermal boundary conditions on natural convection flow in a vertical micro-annulus.

This paper is concerned with the existence of time-periodic solutions to the nonlinear wave equation with x -dependent coefficients u ( x ) y tt − ( u ( x ) y x ) x + au ( x ) y +| y | p −2 y = f ( x ,  t ) on (0,  π )× under the periodic or anti-periodic boundary conditions y (0, t )=± y ( π ,  t ), y x (0,  t )=± y x ( π ,  t ) and the time-periodic conditions y ( x ,  t + T )= y ( x ,  t ), y t ( x ,  t + T )= y t ( x ,  t ). Such a model arises from the forced vibrations of a non-homogeneous string and the propagation of seismic waves in non-isotropic media. A main concept is the notion ‘weak solution’ to be given in §2. For T =2 π / k ( k ∈ ), we establish the existence of time-periodic solutions in the weak sense by investigating some important properties of the wave operator with x -dependent coefficients.

Natural convection in an inclined porous cavity with positively or negatively inclined angles is studied numerically for time-periodic boundary conditions on the left side wall and partially active thermal boundary conditions on the right wall.

This paper is devoted to the study of time-periodic solutions to the nonlinear one-dimensional wave equation with x-dependent coefficients u(x)ytt – (u(x)yx)x + g(x,t,y) = f(x,t) on (0,π) × ℝ under the periodic boundary conditions y(0,t) = y(π,t), yx(0,t) = yx(π,t) or anti-periodic boundary conditions y(0, t) = –y(π,t), yx[0,t) = – yx(π,t). Such a model arises from the forced vibrations of a non-homogeneous string and the propagation of seismic waves in non-isotropic media. Our main concept is that of the ‘weak solution’. For T, the rational multiple of π, we prove some important properties of the weak solution operator. Based on these properties, the existence and regularity of weak solutions are obtained.

The Laplace transform (LT) is a widely used methodology for analytical solutions of dual phase lag (DPL) heat conduction problems with consistent DPL boundary conditions (BCs). However, the inversion of LT requires a series summation with large number of terms for reasonably converged solution, thereby, increasing computational cost. In this work, an alternative approach is proposed for this inversion which is valid only for time-periodic BCs. In this approach, an approximate convolution integral is used to get an analytical closed-form solution for sinusoidal BCs (which is obviously free of numerical inversion or series summation). The ease of implementation and simplicity of the proposed alternative LT approach is demonstrated through illustrative examples for different kind of sinusoidal BCs. It is noted that the solution has very small error only during the very short initial transient and is (almost) exact for longer time. Moreover, it is seen from the illustrative examples that for high frequency periodic BCs the Fourier and DPL model give quite different results; however, for low frequency BCs the results are almost identical. For nonsinusoidal periodic function as BCs, Fourier series expansion of the function in time can be obtained and then present approach can be used for each term of the series. An illustrative example with a triangular periodic wave as one of the BC is solved and the error with different number of terms in the expansion is shown. It is observed that quite accurate solutions can be obtained with a fewer number of terms.
