Abstract Little is known on the three-dimensional flow of couple stress Casson fluid conveying nanoparticles when the significance of Lorentz force, chaotic gesture of those minute particles and thermophoresis are significant. The intent of this investigation is to focus on the flow of such fluid along a horizontal surface due to dual stretching and internal heating. The dimensional nonlinear equations are reduced into a system of coupled nonlinear ODEs employing scaling analysis and later they are solved numerically. The results are discussed graphically for various emerged physical parameters through different plots. The results in the absence of stretching ratio factor indicate that the heat absorption parameter and Prandtl number accelerate the heat transfer rate. The temperature of the non- Newtonian couple stress fluid is found to be bigger than that of viscous case. It may be suggested that Casson couple stress nanofluid can be substituted for the corresponding viscous fluid in industrial applications for greater heat transfer. The outcomes are closely matched with the studies available in the literature as a limiting case.

In this study, a numerical approach was adopted in order to explore the analysis of magneto fluid in the presence of thermal radiation combined with mixed convective and slip conditions. Using the similarity transformation, the axisymmetric three-dimensional boundary layer equations were reduced to a self-similar form. The shooting technique, combined with the Range–Kutta–Fehlberg method, was used to solve the resulting coupled nonlinear momentum and heat transfer equations numerically. When physically interpreting the data, some important observations were made. The novelty of the present study lies in finding help to control the rate of heat transfer and fluid velocity in any industrial manufacturing processes (such as the cooling of metallic plates). The numerical results revealed that the Nusselt number decrease for larger Prandtl number, curvature, and convective parameters. At the same time, the skin friction coefficient was enhanced with an increase in both slip velocity and convective parameter. The effect of emerging physical parameters on velocity and temperature profiles for a nonlinear stretching cylinder has been thoroughly studied and analyzed using plotted graphs and tables.

A calculation method for counter-current type coil-wound heat exchanger is presented for heat exchange process. The numerical simulation method is applied to determine the basic physical parameters of wound bundles. By controlling the inlet fluid velocity varying in coil-wound heat exchanger to program and calculate the iterative process. The calculation data is analyzed by comparison of numerical result and the unit three dimensional pipe bundle model was built. Studies show that the introduction of numerical simulation can simplify the pipe winding process and accelerate the calculation and design of overall configuration in coil-wound heat exchanger. This method can be applied to the physical modeling and heat transfer calculation of pipe bundles in coil wound heat exchanger, program to calculate the complex heat transfer changing with velocity and other parameters, and optimize the overall design and calculation of spiral bundles.

Among the different parts subjected to hot gas flow, endwall heat transfer evaluation is particularly challenging because the flow is strongly affected by secondary effects. Large three-dimensional flow structures introduce remarkable spatial variation of heat transfer, both along streamwise and spanwise directions, making the use of simplified modelling approaches questionable in terms of reliability, and at the same time increasing the challenge for high fidelity computational methods. The aim of the present contribution is to describe the work done in the assessment of computational methods for the estimate of high pressure vane endwall heat transfer for industrial applications. Efforts were first devoted to the development and validation of an accurate computational procedure against a large set of aerodynamic and heat transfer data, available from literature, for both airfoil and endwall of a low-pressure linear cascade with low and high inlet turbulence levels. The analysis, focused on steady state computations, is principally devoted to the turbulence modelling assessment, including non-linear turbulence closure as well as transition modelling. Obtained results showed that the aerodynamics of both passage and endwall are well captured independently of the turbulence modelling while a large impact on both pattern and averaged value is verified for the heat transfer.

Convective heat transfer in the cavity between two corotating disks is of great importance for turbomachinery applications. The complex three dimensional and unsteady flow structures induced by the Coriolis forces inside the cavity, and therefore the resulting heat transfer, are challenging to be measured in an experiment or predicted by simulation. In this paper a simplified cavity geometry, characterized experimentally by Long at al., has been chosen. The results obtained with a Very Large Eddy Simulation using Lattice-Boltzmann Method for two operating point with different rotation speeds are compared to the experimental heat transfer coefficients at the wall. The simulation results show the characteristic flow structures and behavior induced by the different regimes. A sensitivity analysis of the results is presented, both for numerical parameters such as grid resolution and for physical parameters, namely the throughflow velocity profile and shroud temperature.

This investigation reports the boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics in a couple stress fluid flow over a continuos moving surface with a parallel free stream. The effects of heat generation in the presence of convective boundary conditions are also investigated. Series solutions for the velocity and temperature distributions are obtained by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Convergence of obtained series solutions are analyzed. The results are obtained and discussed through graphs for physical parameters of interest.

Microfluidics, the study of fluid flow through structures with micrometer scale dimensions, is an increasingly important discipline within a number of commercial and industrial applications. One focus of active microfluidic research at the Stanford University Microscale Heat Transfer Laboratories (MHTL) is mass and heat transport in two-phase flows, which has applications in the cooling of integrated circuits and the management of water created in PEM fuel cells. At its core, two-phase microfluidics is the study of interactions between moving liquids and/or gases and/or solids (though not necessarily stationary) structures. Advanced confocal microscopy, with its ability to visualize and measure both flow and structure on a single instrumental platform, will certainly play a key role in the continuing development of microfluidic devices.

This study investigates the unsteady heat transfer flow of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid over an oscillating vertical plate with Newtonian heating on the wall under the effects of thermal radiation. With the help of non-dimensional variables, governing equations are written into dimensionless form and then solved analytically by Laplace transform technique to find the solutions of temperature and velocity. The corresponding solutions of Nusselt number and skin friction are also calculated. The solution in term of viscous fluid is recovered as a limiting case of this work. The effects of the pertinent parameters on temperature and velocity are presented graphically and discussed details in this paper.

Purpose This paper aims to find the influence of convective heat transfer, buoyancy proportions, nonlinear thermal radiation, Prandtl number, Rayleigh number and Schmidt number on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the heat and mass transfer of a stagnation point stream of free convective Casson fluid over a moving vertical plate with nonlinear thermal radiation and convective boundary restrictions. The governing PDEs of stream, heat and concentration profiles were reformed into an arrangement of nonlinear ODEs by using similarity transformation. This framework was then tackled numerically by applying forth-order RK shooting strategy. Findings Distribution of flow, velocity and temperature profiles for different values of governing parameters are analyzed. Originality/value The original results are depicted in terms of plots.

The steady MHD boundary layer flow near the stagnation point over a stretching surface in the presence of the induced magnetic field, viscous dissipation, magnetic dissipation, slip velocity phenomenon, and heat generation/absorption effects has been investigated numerically. The Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. The governing partial differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using a shooting method with fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Comparisons with the earlier results have been made and good agreements were found. Numerical results for the velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number are presented through graphs and tables for various values of physical parameters. Results predicted that the magnetic parameter with α<1 has the tendency to enhance the heat transfer rate, whereas the reverse trend is seen with α>1. It is also noticed that the rate of heat transfer is a decreasing function of the reciprocal of a magnetic Prandtl number, whereas the opposite phenomenon occurs with the magnitude of the friction factor.
