Natural convection in square enclosures differentially heated at sides using alumina-water nanofluids with temperature-dependent physical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Laminar natural convection of Al2O3 + H2O nanofluids inside square cavities differentially heated at sides is studied numerically. A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm is used for the solution of the system of the mass, momentum and ...

Numerical Investigation of Turbulent Mixed Convection Between Coaxial Cylinders and the Inner Rotating Cylinder With Axial Flow

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The turbulent flow between coaxial cylinders, particularly when the inner cylinder is rotating, exhibits complex hydrodynamic and heat transfer behaviors critical for various engineering applications. Although many previous studies have simplified these systems with idealized assumptions, real‐world scenarios involve mixed convection and ...
