Nonlinear partial differential expressions can be incorporated into the ordinary differential framework with the use of appropriate transformations. This research utilizes the variational iteration method (VIM) to approximate solutions for the system of nonlinear differential equations that define the problem. The objective is to demonstrate superior flexibility and broader application of the VIM in addressing heat transfer issues, compared to alternative approaches. The results obtained from the VIM are compared with numerical solutions, revealing a significant level of accuracy in the approximation. The numerical findings strongly suggest that the VIM is effective in providing precise numerical solutions for nonlinear differential equations. The analysis includes an examination of the flow field, velocity, and temperature distribution across various parameters. The study found that improving temperature patterns, velocity distribution, and flow dynamics were all positively impacted by increasing the Prandtl numbers. As a result, this leads to the thickness of the boundary layer to decrease and improves heat transfer at the moving surface. Thus, the convection process becomes more efficient. When the strength of the magnetic field is increased, the velocity of the fluid decreases. This observation aligns with expectations since the magnetic field hampers the natural flow of convection. Notably, the convection process can be precisely controlled by carefully applying magnetic force.</p>","PeriodicalId":44939,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer","volume":"53 6","pages":"3054-3071"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It characterizes the material's response to both deformation and flow, offering valuable predictions for various industrial and biological applications. Within the framework of viscous potential flow (VPF) theory, viscosity is exclusively accounted for in the normal stress balance equation, disregarding the influence of shearing stress entirely.

The channel consists of a cold top plate moving at a constant speed and a fixed hot plate at the bottom. Thin rotating blades are placed periodically along the channel's centerline, with the spacing between their axes equal to the channel's height. This paper analyzes a transient, two-dimensional, laminar flow problem using energy, momentum, and continuity equations. To address the challenges posed by moving blades, the Galerkin finite element method is implemented within an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian framework, employing a triangular mesh discretization scheme. This study comprehensively explores thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics, including overall heat transfer, thermal frequency, and power consumption of the rotating blade for heat transfer in mixed convection scenarios with Richardson numbers (<i>Ri</i>) ranging from 0.1 to 10 at varying rotational frequency of the blade. Outcomes demonstrate that the inclusion of a rotating blade increases heat transfer up to 50% at lower <i>Ri</i>, after which the impact of the rotating blade diminishes and heat transfer reduces up to 20% at higher <i>Ri</i>. In addition, heat transfer enhances with increasing blade frequency up to <i>Ri</i> = 6.5, beyond which the effect of the frequency overturns. Examining thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics reveals that the blade achieves optimal performance when operating at <i>f</i> = 1 and <i>Ri</i> = 3. The study's insights into mixed convection heat transfer offer versatile applications, benefiting industries and equipment such as electronic cooling, chemical reactors, food processing, material fabrication, solar collectors, and nuclear reactor systems.

An in-depth parametric analysis is undertaken to establish the influence of flow attack angle, relative longitudinal pitch, relative transverse pitch and cone diameter of SCVG on the thermohydraulic performance as indicated by the thermohydraulic performance parameter (THPP). The results reveal that the SCVG generates longitudinal vortices and introduces flow impingement zones which significantly affects the flow and heat transfer characteristics of air heaters.

No research has been conducted on WPC fouling behavior of PEEK at WPC concentrations of 2–6 g/L and heat flux densities of 45–55 kW/m². It was found that PEEK materials led to a reduction in heat resistance of up to 40%. At WPC concentrations of 6 g/L, a fouling factor of 0.9 m² K/kW was measured for PEEK compared to 1.6 m² K/kW for SS. Despite a constant heat flux, fouling curves for PEEK showed an asymptotic behavior, whereas linear fouling was observed for SS. To achieve a comparable heat resistance between PEEK and SS heat exchangers, the operating time could be extended by 9 h when using PEEK materials. Investigations of the deposit mass showed that even though the heat transfer resistance is limited on PEEK, fouling continued to grow at a decreased rate. It was found that the fluid started to evaporate underneath the fouling layer, which led to a partial detachment of the fouling layer and therefore mitigated the heat resistance effects of fouling. To test whether these results are transferable to larger setups, experiments on a scale-up apparatus were conducted. A very similar behavior was qualitatively observed; however, measured deposition deviated on average by 18%. PEEK surfaces also showed great promise regarding cleanability, with fouling layers detaching completely after drying for 10 min and restarting the process. This restored the heat transfer coefficient to its clean state. A cleaning in place therefore seems feasible.

BY using a similarity transformation derived from the equation of continuity, partial differential equations determining flow characteristics are translated into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The problem involves the flow of a specific type of fluid, namely, an incompressible and electrically conducting fluid, between two nonparallel plates. The flow is assumed to be steady, two-dimensional, and subject to certain boundary conditions. Specifically, the plates are impermeable, and the fluid adheres to a no-slip condition, resulting in zero fluid velocity at the plates' surfaces. Moreover, the problem incorporates the effects of magnetic fields and pressure fluctuations, making it highly applicable to scenarios, such as blood flow through arteries in the human body, which can be modeled as a special case of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffery–Hamel problem referred to as the (MHD) blood pressure equation.
