In this paper, a numerical simulation has been performed to study the fluid flow and heat transfer around a rotating circular cylinder over low Reynolds numbers. Here, the Reynolds number is 200, and the values of rotation rates (α) are varied within the range of 0 < α < 6. Two-dimensional and unsteady mass continuity, momentum, and energy equations have been discretized using the finite volume method. SIMPLE algorithm has been applied for solving the pressure linked equations. The effect of rotation rates (α) on fluid flow and heat transfer were investigated numerically. Also, time-averaged (lift and drag coefficients and Nusselt number) results were obtained and compared with the literature data. A good agreement was obtained for both the local and averaged values.

In this paper, a numerical simulation has been performed to study the fluid flow and heat transfer around a square cylinder utilizing Al2O3-H2O nanofluid over low Reynolds numbers. Here, both Reynolds and Peclet numbers are varied within the range of 1 to 40and the volume fraction of nanoparticles (?) is varied within the range of 0<?<0.05. Two-dimensional and steady mass continuity, momentum and energy equations have been discretized using Finite Volume Method (FVM). SIMPLE algorithm has been applied for solving the pressure linked equations. The effect of volume fraction of nanoparticles on fluid flow and heat transfer were investigated numerically. It was found that at a given Reynolds number, the Nusselt number, drag coefficient, recirculation length, and pressure coefficient increases by increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles.

Heat Transfer Improvement

This research presents a numerical study of turbulent periodic flow and heat transfer in threedimensional isothermalfluxed square duct with diagonal inclined rib inserted. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented for Reynolds numbers in the range of 4000 to 20,000. The computations based on the finite volume method, and the SIMPLE algorithm has been implemented. Effects of rib pitch ratios (0.5 to 2) at a single blockage ratio of 0.2 and attack angle of 60o on heat transfer and friction factor in the duct are examined and their results of the inclined rib are also compared with those of the smooth duct. It is found that the inclined rib provides higher heat transfer rate and friction factor than the smooth duct for all cases. In addition, the decreasing of the pitch ratio leads to the rise in the Nusselt number and friction factor.

In this paper, a numerical study on the two-dimensional laminar mixed convective flow and heat transfer from an rotating circular horizontal and isothermal cylinder confined in a horizontal channel. The blockage ratio and the Prandtl number are fixed at 0.05 and 0.7 respectively. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved via the finite-volume method. Our results are in very good agreement with those resulting from preceding studies to Ri=0 and a=0, which makes it possible to validate on important extension of present work. The mixed convective flow and heat transfer is simulated by the Reynolds number is studied in the range 1 <Re <40, the Richardson number (Ri) demonstrating the influence of thermal buoyancy ranges from 0 to 1 and for rotational rate from α=0 to α=4. Major emphasis is given to the effect of rotating a circular cylinder on the mixed convection and also on the measurements of the local and average Nusselt numbers are also obtained. Furthermore, the representative streamlines and isotherm patterns are presented and discussed.

In this study, the buoyancy-driven fluid flow and heat transfer in a differentially-heated rectangular cavity filled with the TiO2-water nanofluid is investigated numerically. The left and the top walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures Thand Tc, respectively, with Th> Tc.The enclosure’s right and bottom walls are kept insulated. The governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method. A proper upwinding scheme is employed to obtain stabilized solutions for high Rayleigh numbers. Using the developed code, a parametric study is undertaken, and the effects of pertinent parameters, such as, the Rayleigh number, the aspect ratio of the cavity and the volume fraction of the nanoparticles on the fluid flow and heat transfer inside the cavity are investigated. It is observed from the results that by increasing the volume fraction of the nanoparticles, the mean Nusselt number of the hot wall increases for the shallow cavities; while, the reverse trend occurs for the tall cavities. Moreover, the heat transfer enhancement utilizing nanofluid is more effective at Ra = 103.

The influence of utilizing different nanofluids types on the liquid cold plate (LCP) is numerically investigated. The thermal and fluid flow performance of LCP is examined by using pure ethylene glycol (EG), Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG. The volume fraction of the nanoparticle for both nanofluid is 2%. The finite volume method (FVM) has been used to solved 3-D steady state, laminar flow and heat transfer governing equations. The presented results indicate that Al2O3-EG able to provide the lowest surface temperature of the heater block followed by CuO-EG and EG, respectively. It is also found that the pressure drop and friction factor are higher for Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG compared to the pure EG.
