...Prasheel Nakate; Banjara Kotresha; N. Gnanasekaran In this work, a solution technique is proposed by synergistically combining asymptotics and computational fluid dynamics to ascertain a problem of laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a vertical channel. First, numerical simulation is carried...

...Banjara Kotresha; N. Gnanasekaran This paper discusses about the numerical prediction of forced convection heat transfer through high-porosity metal foams with discrete heat sources in a vertical channel. The physical geometry consists of a discrete heat source assembly placed at the center...

... ij ¯ S ij ¯ Computational domain is shown in Fig. 1( a ) for a 2D fixed square bar with side e in a vertical channel. Streamwise and cross-stream directions are parallel to z and x coordinate axes, respectively. The numerical algorithm employed...

...D. Roeleveld; D. Naylor; W. H. Leong Laser interferometry and flow visualization were used to study free convective heat transfer inside a vertical channel. Most studies in the literature have investigated buoyancy forces in a single direction. The study presented here investigated opposing...

.... Editor: Patrick E. Phelan. 19 03 2013 16 08 2013 Free convection in a vertical channel with antisymmetrical heating is a special case that has not received a great deal of attention in the literature. Antisymmetrical heating is where the hot wall is heated above the ambient...

... 18 02 2013 This technical brief numerically examines the mixed convection heat transfer of a Cu-water nanofluid in a parallel-plate vertical channel that is influenced by a magnetic field. An upward flow of Cu-water nanofluid enters the channel at a relatively low temperature and a uniform...

... also obtained and compared with the analytical solution, the agreement being very good. In this technical brief, we have studied the steady mixed convection flow in a vertical channel filled by a nanofluid, using a model in which Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are accounted for, see...

... in a vertical channel with Dufour effect. The analytical solutions of the governing momentum and energy equations are obtained by the use of Laplace transform technique. The influence of each of the governing parameters is discussed with the aid of line graphs and contours. It is observed that the diffusion...
