This paper focuses on finite element analysis of the thermal behaviour of a moving porous fin with temperature-variant thermal conductivity and internal heat generation. The numerical solutions are used to investigate the effects of Peclet number, Hartmann number, porous and convective parameters on the temperature distribution, heat transfer and efficiency of the moving fin. The results show that when the convective and porous parameters increase, the adimensional fin temperature decreases. However, the value of the fin temperature is amplified as the value Peclet number is enlarged. Also, an increase in the thermal conductivity and the internal heat generation cause the fin temperature to fall and the rate of heat transfer from the fin to decrease. Therefore, the operational parameters of the fin must be carefully selected to avoid thermal instability in the fin.

Power Law Function

In this paper we consider heat transfer in a hot body with different geometries. Here, the thermal conductivity and internal heat generation are both temperature-dependent. This assumption rendered the model considered to be nonlinear. We assume that thermal conductivity is given by a power law function. We employ the preliminary group classification to determine the cases of internal heat generation for which the principal Lie algebra extends by one. Exact solutions are constructed for the case when thermal conductivity is a differential consequence of internal heat generation term. We derive the approximate numerical solutions for the cases where exact solutions are difficult to construct or are nonexistent. The effects of parameters appearing in the model on temperature profile are studied.

Flow And Heat Transfer

Purpose The purpose of this study is numerical simulation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) water–Al2O3 nanofluid mixed convection in a grooved channel with internal heat generation in solid cylinders. Simulations were carried out at Reynolds numbers 50 ≤ Re ≤ 100, Hartmann numbers 0 ≤ Ha ≤ 15, Grashof numbers 5,000 ≤ Gr ≤ 10−4 and volume fraction 0 ≤ φ ≤ 0.04. The effect of Reynolds number and the influence of magnetic field and pressure drop on convective heat transfer coefficient were studied in different volume fractions of nanoparticles at different Reynolds numbers. Design/methodology/approach The results show that average Nusselt number increases by increasing Reynolds and Hartman numbers. Also, when Hartman number increases, velocity profile becomes asymmetric. Pressure distribution shows that magnetic field applies Lorentz force at opposite direction of the flow, which causes asymmetric distribution of pressure. As a result, pressure in the upper half of the cylinder is higher than the lower half. Finally, velocity and temperature contours along the channel for different Hartmann numbers, volume fraction 3 per cent, Re = 50 and 100 and Gr = 10,000, are presented. Findings The effect of Reynolds number and the influence of magnetic field and pressure drop on convective heat transfer coefficient were studied in different volume fractions of nanoparticles at different Reynolds numbers. Originality/value Effect of MHD on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of Water–Al2O3 nanofluid in a grooved channel with internal heat generation in solid cylinders.

In this paper we consider heat transfer in a wall with temperature dependent heat conductivity and internal heat generation. It turns out the model considered is non-linear. We employ the classical Lie point symmetry analysis to determine the exact solutions. A number of cases for thermal conductivity and internal heat generation are considered. In some cases the exact solutions are not possible to construct. However, we first use the obtained exact solution as a bench mark for the quasilinear method. Since confidence is established, we then use the quasilinear method to solve some other applicable problem.
