The Impact

This study comprehensively explores the generalized form of two-dimensional peristaltic motions of incompressible fluid through temperature-dependent physical properties in a non-symmetric channel. Generation of entropy in the system, carrying Joule heat and Lorentz force is also examined. Viscous dissipation is not ignored, for viewing in-depth, effects of heat transmission and entropy production. The modeling of equations is tracked first in fixed and then in wave frame. The resultant set of coupled non-linear equations are solved numerically by utilizing NDSolve in Mathematica. Comparison between NDSolve and the numerical results obtained through bvp4c MATLAB is made for the validation of our numerical codes. The attained results are found to be in excellent agreement. The impact of control parameters on the velocity profiles, pressure gradient, heat transfer, streamlines and entropy production are studied and discussed graphically. It is witnessed that entropy production and heat transfer are increased significantly subject to the enhancement of Hartman number, Brinkman number and electrical conductivity parameter. Hence, choosing appropriate values of physical parameters, performance and efficiency of flow structure and system can be improved. The results reported provide a virtuous insight into bio energy systems providing a useful standard for experimental and extra progressive computational multiphysics simulations.

A two dimensional numerical solution to the problem of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication of rolling/sliding contacts was obtained using a finite difference formulation. The technique involves the simultaneous solution of the thermal Reynolds’ equation, the elasticity equation, and the two dimensional energy equation. A pressure and temperature dependent viscosity for a synthetic paraffinic hydrocarbon lubricant (XRM-109F) was considered in the solution of the Reynolds’ and energy equations. The experimental pressure and surface temperature measurements obtained by Dow and Kannel [1] were used in evaluating the results of the numerical analysis for the cases of pure rolling and slip conditions.

Theoretical Results

Three-dimensional numerical solutions are obtained describing convection with a square lattice in a layer heated from below with no-slip top and bottom boundaries. The limit of infinite Prandtl number and a linear dependence of the viscosity on temperature are assumed. The stability of the three-dimensional solutions with respect to disturbances fitting the square lattice is analysed. It is shown that convection in the form of two-dimensional rolls is stable for low variations of viscosity, while square-pattern convection becomes stable when the viscosity contrast between upper and lower parts of the fluid layer is sufficiently strong. The theoretical results are in qualitative agreement with experimental observations.
