Abstract
The effect of internal heat source on the onset of Darcy–Brinkman convection in a porous layer saturated by nanofluid is studied. The boundaries are considered to be free–free, rigid–rigid and lower-rigid and upper-free boundaries. The Brinkman–Darcy equation with fluid viscosity different from effective viscosity is used to characteristic the nanofluid motion. The model used for nanofluid includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The linear stability theory is employed and the resulting eigenvalue problem is solved numerically using the Galerkin technique with the Rayleigh number as the eigenvalue. The influence of internal heat source strength, nanoparticle Rayleigh number, modified particle-density increment, modified diffusivity ratio, Lewis number, Darcy number and the porosity on the stability of the system is investigated graphically. It is found that the internal heat source, nanoparticle Rayleigh number, modified diffusivity ratio and Lewis number have a destabilizing effect while Darcy number and the porosity show stabilizing effects on the system.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
