The purpose of this paper is to investigate mass and heat transfer in the process of film condensation of vapor-air mixture for non-cryogenic fluids flow in a small vertical tube. A two-phase mathematical model is developed to model the mixture and liquid film. The governing equations for mixture and liquid-film have been resolved using a numerical method. Furthermore, this phenomenon analyzed is linked to a steady-state. Therefore, the development of numerical codes allows us to investigate the effect of implicated parameters on this phenomenon. Ethanol and methanol as non-cryogenic typical working fluids are realized for a good understanding of the heat and mass transfer mechanism during condensation. In this way, several effects of influencing parameters were examined. The predicted results showed a good agreement with experimental data.

This investigation on free convection flow and temperature transfer within a right-angled triangular cavity loaded uniformly by Cu-H2O nanofluid including heated boundary conditions at horizontal side is performed numerically. The standing side is cooled at low heat while the hypotenuse of the triangular is insulated. The governing non-dimensional highly non-linear partial differential equations are performed by employing Galerkin weighted residual finite element method. The simulated numerical findings are exhibited using streamline contours, isotherm contours and average Nusselt number for the sampling parameters named nanoparticles volume fraction, Rayleigh number, and Hartmann number. The outcome demonstrates temperature transfer value reduces for the enhancement of Hartman number whereas improve significantly for the increase of buoyancy driven parameter Rayleigh number. Also, an excellent average temperature transfer is observed for uniform heated boundary condition (case I) compared to non-uniform thermal boundary conditions (case II & case III).

The present study focus on both free and forced convective heat transfer through a nanofluid in two dimensions past stretching vertical plate. This free and forced convective heat transfer in Cu–water Nanofluid past permeable flat vertical semi-infinite plate was due to high conductivity and its occurrence. In this paper magnetic field and also heat source were considered. In graphs the effect on various parameters such as Reynolds number (Re) , solid volume fraction (φ), magnetic field parameter (M), inclination angle of the plate (γ ), heat source parameter (Qh), on linear velocity (U), vertical velocity (V) and temperature (θ) were exhibited. The profile of every governing parameter is displayed for natural as well as forced convection by considering the Ar >> 1 and Ar << 1 respectively. This rate of heat transfer in forced convection is more than equivalent in free convection. So these problems have several applications in engineering and petroleum industries such as electroplating, chemical processing of heavy metals and solar water heaters. Inertial force reducing the heat transfer rate in natural convection but the enhancement of Nu observed in forced convection. The composition of metal particles enhances the heat transfer rate in both convections, which emphasizes the nanofluid significance. Lorentz force is enhancing the heat transfer rate slightly. Heat source obviously increase the rate of heat transfer in both convections. The present paper aims to study the convective high temperature transfer of nanofluids into which viscosity proposed by Einstein and thermal conductivity proposed by Corcione were used.

The present study aims to analyze the natural convection flow and heat transfer in a wavy cavity with a single horizontal fin attached to its hot wall. Galerkin weighted residual finite element technique has been employed to solve the governing nonlinear dimensionless equations. The effects of model parameters like Rayleigh number, fin length and location on the fluid flow and heat transfer are investigated. The obtained results are exhibited graphically in terms of flow structure, temperature dispersion, velocity field, fin effectiveness, local Nusselt number, and average Nusselt number. It is observed that the different fin length and location have a substantial effect on flow structure and temperature field. Fin effectiveness is also studied and the highest fin effectiveness was found at fin length (L = 0.75). Besides, it is also found that the mean Nusselt number increases significantly with the increase of Rayleigh number and fin length. Wavy cavity becomes more effective on heat transfer behaviors and fluid flow than that of a square cavity.

In the present study a comprehensive review on rheological characteristics of nanofluids for their advanced heat transfer applications has been conducted and presented. The present article critically summarizes the recent research developments regarding the theoretical and experimental investigations about viscosity of different nanofluids. In addition, different reasonably attractive theoretical models and experimental correlations are explored and well discussed. Moreover, the current study analyzes several factors those strongly influencing viscosity of nanofluids include solid volume fraction, temperature, particle size, particle shape, different base fluids, surfactants addition, ultrasonication, nanoclustering and pH value. Important theoretical and experimental results from many researchers and predictions from a number of viscosity models are compared and discussed with appropriate justification. Most results reveal that the viscosity of nanofluid upsurges due to an increase in particle concentration while that belittles with diminishing temperature. Augmentation of nano-additives size leads to decreasing/increasing of nanofluid fluid viscosity. For the most nanofluids, Newtonian behavior is observed for low volume fractions, shear rates, concentrations and viscosity while non-Newtonian behavior is visualized for high volume fractions, shear rates, concentrations and viscosity. Nanofluids used carbon nanotubes are almost non-Newtonian in nature while nanofluids not involving carbon nanotubes are mostly Newtonian. Finally, the research challenges and needs in this important area of nanofluids are also highlighted.

The current investigation attempts to address the peristalsis exhibited by a Jeffrey fluid through channels with curvature and compliant walls. The flow of fluid is exposed to an external magnetic field. Moreover, variation of the viscosity of the fluid with the spatial coordinate is considered. Long wavelength and small values of Reynolds number are considered for the mathematical modeling of the problem under scope. The system of differential equations thus obtained is non-linear, the solution for which is obtained by the method of perturbation for small values of variable viscosity. The authors have provided special emphasis on the influence of pertinent parameters on velocity and trapping phenomenon. The results obtained suggest that as the channel changes from straight to curved, the velocity profile bends away from the center of the channel. Further, the trapped bolus volume is seen to be reducing with decrease in the Hartmann number.

In the present research article, modeling and computations are presented to introduce the novel concept of relaxation-retardation viscous dissipation and hyperbolic time variation boundary conditions on the magnetohydrodynamic transient flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid past a vertical stretched plate for the first time. In the present work, firstly we implement Buongiorno’s model to illustrate Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion which take vital role in heat and mass transportation process. Nonlinear non-dimensional governing equations are solved by fourth order Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. We investigate the behavior of influential variables on the velocity, thermal and solutal fields through graphical illustrations. Our results indicate that relaxation and retardation Deborah numbers exhibit completely reverse trend in the flow field. Especially, augmented relaxation-retardation viscous dissipation invigorates the temperature gradient. The results of the current theoretical study may be instrumental for worthful practical applications.

This present examination researches the impacts of thermophoresis, heat source and Hall current on dissipative adjusted MHD joint convection stream about an inclined plate inserted in a permeable medium. Utilizing dimensionless variables, the system of partial differential equations is changed into dimensionless equations. By making use of perturbation technique, estimated solutions for velocity, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction, rate of heat transfer and rate of mass transfer have been determined. The attained results are explained with an assistance of diagrams to examine the impact of distinct parameters such as Magnetic parameter (M), Aligned magnetic parameter (ξ), Schmidt number (Sc), Eckert number (Ec), inclined angle (α), Prandtl number (Pr), heat generation parameter (Q), and chemical reaction (Kr), assuming two cases viz. Case I: Gr < 0, Gm < 0 (flow on heated plate); Case II: when Gr > 0, Gm > 0(flow on cooled plate). Additionally, the impacts of the appropriate parameters on the skin-friction coefficient and rates of heat and mass transfer are numerically furnished in tabular form. Skin friction coefficients are firmly diminished as magnetic field rises. Sherwood and Nusselt numbers boost up as enhance in chemical reaction.

The current paper focuses on unsteady MHD free convection flow with mass and heat transfer past an inclined plate. The inclined plate moves with exponential acceleration and is placed in a saturated porous medium having a uniform permeability but a varying concentration and temperature. The important essence of the study is to analyze the angle of inclination on the flow phenomenon with a heat source or sink alongside a destructive reaction. The governing equations are solved with the help of Galerkin Finite Element Method. A detailed discussion on the effects of pertinent material parameters, magnetic field, and permeability of the porous medium is presented. This reveals the flow reversal with an active magnetic field in porous medium. A retarding velocity is observed with angle of inclination and heat source. Applications of the present study include understanding of drag experienced at the heated/cooled inclined surfaces in a seepage flow.
