Flow And Heat Transfer

In this paper, a fully-developed, immiscible nanofluid flow in a paralleled microchannel in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated. Buongiorno’s model is applied to describe the behaviors of the nanofluid flow. Different from most previous studies on microchannel flow, here the pressure term is considered as unknown, which makes the current model compatible with the commonly accepted channel flow models. The influences of various physical parameters on important physical quantities are given. The entropy generation analysis is performed. Variations of local and global entropy generations with the magnetic field parameter, the electric field, and the viscous dissipation parameter under various ratios of the thermophoresis parameter to the Brownian motion parameter are illustrated. The results indicate that the entropy generation rate strongly depends on the thermophoresis and the Brownian motion parameters. Their increase enhances the total irreversibility of entropy generation.

The homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction in the boundary layer flow of a water-based nanofluid in the stagnation-point region of a plane surface is investigated. The type of small particles explored here is the single-walled carbon nanotubes. The homogeneous nanofluid model is employed for description of behaviours of nanofluids. Here, the homogeneous (bulk) reaction is isothermal cubic autocatalytic, while the heterogeneous (surface) reaction is single, isothermal, and first order. The steady state of this system is analysed in detail, with equal diffusion coefficients being considered for both reactants and autocatalysts. Multiple solutions of the reduced system are captured for some particular sets of physical parameters, which seem to be overlooked in all previous published works with regard to studies of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions modeled by homogeneous nanofluid models. Besides, we discover the significant limitation of previous conclusion about that the solutions by homogeneous nanofluid flow models can be recovered from those by regular fluids.

ABSTRACTWhen an initially homogeneous binary mixture of granular media such as fine and coarse sand is poured near the closed edge of a “quasi-two-dimensional” Hele-Shaw cell consisting of two vertical transparent plates held a narrow distance apart, the mixture spontaneously forms alternating segregated layers. Experimental measurements of this stratification effect are reported in order to determine which model, one which suggests that segregation only occurs when the granular material contained within a metastable heap between the critical and maximum angle of repose avalanches down the free surface, or one for which the segregation results from smaller particles becoming trapped in the top surface and being removed from the moving layer during continuous flow. The result reported here indicate that the Metastable Wedge model provides a natural explanation for the initial mixed zone which precedes the formation of the layers, while the Continuous Flow model explains the observed upward moving kink of segregated material for higher granular flux rates, and that both mechansims are necessary in order to understand the observed pairing of segregated layersfor intermediate flow rates and cell separations.
