Effect Of Non-uniform Slot Injection Research Articles

Effects of chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption on unsteady mixed convection MHD flow over a vertical cone with non-uniform slot mass transfer

The influence of non-uniform single and double slot suction/injection into unsteady mixed convective MHD flow, heat and mass transfer of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a vertical cone in the presence of transverse magnetic field, heat generation/absorption and a first order chemical reaction is studied. The unsteadiness is caused by the time dependent free stream velocity varying arbitrarily with time. Non-similar solutions are obtained by solving the coupled non-linear partial differential equations using the quasi-linearization technique in combination with an implicit finite difference scheme. Numerical results are reported here to account the effects of non-uniform slot suction/injection, buoyancy, magnetic field, heat generation/absorption and a first order chemical reaction on skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients. Results indicate that the skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients increase with non-uniform slot suction but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the opposite. Also, the skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients, respectively, increases with the magnetic parameter, heat absorption and chemical reaction parameters.

Non-uniform slot suction/injection into mixed convection boundary layer flow over vertical cone

The aim of this work is to study the effect of non-uniform single and double slot suction/injection into a steady mixed convection boundary layer flow over a vertical cone, while the axis of the cone is inline with the flow. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a non-dimensional form by a group of non-similar transformations. The resulting coupled non-linear partial differential equations are solved numerically by employing the quasi-linearization technique and an implicit finite-difference scheme. Numerical computations are performed for different values of the dimensionless parameters to display the velocity and temperature profiles graphically. Also, numerical results are presented for the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients. Results indicate that the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients increase with non-uniform slot suction, but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just opposite.

Non-uniform slot suction (injection) on an unsteady mixed convection flow over a wedge with chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption

The aim of this work is to study the effect non-uniform single and double slot suction (injection) on an unsteady mixed convection boundary layer flow over a vertical wedge with chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption. The unsteadiness is caused by the time dependent free stream velocity varying arbitrarily with time. Non-similar solutions are obtained by solving the coupled non-linear partial differential equations using the quasi-linearization technique in combination with an implicit finite-difference scheme and numerical computations are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameters to display the effects of non-uniform single and double slot suction (injection) along with chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption. Results indicate that the skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients increase with non-uniform slot suction but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the opposite. As the slot moves in downstream direction, the skin friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients decrease by non-uniform slot suction whereas non-uniform slot injection has the reverse effect.

Role of non-uniform slot injection (suction) model on the separation of a laminar boundary layer flow

An analysis is performed to study the influence of non-uniform slot injection (suction) on a steady incompressible laminar boundary layer flow in a diverging channel with an exponentially decreasing free-stream velocity. The difficulties in obtaining the non-similar solutions at the starting point of the streamwise coordinate, at the edges of the slot and at the point of separation are overcome by applying an implicit finite difference scheme with the quasi-linearization technique and an appropriate selection of the finer step sizes along the streamwise direction. It is observed that the separation can be delayed by non-uniform slot suction and also by moving the slot downstream but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just reverse.

Effect of non-uniform slot injection (suction) on a forced flow over a slender cylinder

An analysis is performed to obtain the non-similar solution of a steady laminar forced convection boundary layer flow over a horizontal slender cylinder including the effect of non-uniform slot injection (suction). The effects of transverse curvature and viscous dissipation are also included in the analysis. The governing boundary layer equations along with the boundary conditions are first cast into a dimensionless form using suitable transformations and the resulting system of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations is then solved by an implicit finite difference scheme in combination with the quasilinearization technique. Numerical results for the effect of non-uniform slot injection (suction) on skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate are presented. The effects of transverse curvature, viscous dissipation and Prandtl number on velocity and temperature profiles and skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are also reported.

Non-uniform slot injection (suction) into water boundary layer flow past yawed cylinder

The non-uniform slot injection (suction) into water boundary layer flow over a yawed infinite circular cylinder is analyzed including the temperature-dependent viscosity and Prandtl number. The difficulties arising at the starting point of the streamwise coordinate, at the edges of the slot and at the point of separation are overcome by applying the implicit finite difference scheme in combination with the quasilinearization technique. The results indicate that the separation can be delayed by non-uniform slot suction and also by moving the slot downstream but effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the opposite. Further, the effect of variable fluid properties is to move the point of separation downstream but yaw angle has very little affect on the location of the point of separation.

Non-uniform slot injection (suction) into steady laminar water boundary layer flow over a rotating sphere

The influence of non-uniform slot injection (suction) into steady axi-symmetric laminar incompressible boundary layer flows with temperature dependent viscosity and Prandtl number has been examined from the origin of the streamwise coordinate to the exact point of separation. The difficulties in obtaining the non-similar solutions at the origin of the streamwise coordinate, at the edges of the slot and at the point of separation have been overcome by applying an implicit finite difference scheme with the quasilinearization technique and an appropriate selection of finer step size along the streamwise coordinate. The results indicate that the separation can be delayed by non-uniform slot suction and also by moving the slot downstream but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the opposite. Further, the effect of variable fluid properties is to move the point of separation downstream but rotation parameter has the reverse effect.

Non-uniform slot injection (suction) into water boundary layers over (i) a cylinder and (ii) a sphere

An analysis is performed to study the effect of non-uniform slot injection (suction) into steady two-dimensional and axi-symmetric laminar boundary layers with variable viscosity and Prandtl number. Non-similar solutions have been obtained from the starting point of the streamwise co-ordinate to the exact point of separation. The difficulties arising at the starting point of the streamwise co-ordinate, at the edges of the slot and at the point of separation have been overcome by applying an implicit finite difference scheme with the quasi-linearization technique and an appropriate selection of finer step size along the streamwise direction. The results indicate that the separation can be delayed by non-uniform slot suction and also by moving the slot downstream but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the opposite. The heat transfer rate is found to depend strongly on viscous dissipation but the skin friction is little affected by it.

Compressible boundary layer flow with non-uniform slot injection (or suction) over i) a cylinder and ii) a sphere

Non-similar solutions of steady two-dimensional and axi-symmetric compressible laminar boundary layer flows with non-uniform slot injection (or suction) have been obtained, from the starting point of the stream-wise co-ordinate to the exact point of separation. The difficulties arising at the starting point of the stream-wise co-ordinate, and at the edges of the slot and at the point of separation have been overcome by applying the method of quasi-linear implicit finite difference scheme, along with an appropriate selection of finer step size along the stream-wise direction. It is observed that the separation can be delayed by a non-uniform slot suction and also by moving the slot downstream but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the opposite. The increase of total enthalpy at the wall causes the separation to occur earlier while cooling delays it. The increase of Mach number shifts the point of separation upstream due to the adverse pressure gradient.

Non-uniform mass transfer or wall enthalpy into a compressible flow over yawed cylinder

An analysis is performed to obtain the non-similar solution of a steady compressible laminar boundary layer flow over a yawed infinite circular cylinder with non-uniform slot injection (or suction) and non-uniform wall enthalpy. The difficulties arising at the starting point of the streamwise coordinate, at the edges of the slot and at the point of separation are overcome by applying the method of quasilinear implicit finite-difference scheme. It is observed that the separation can be delayed by non-uniform slot suction and also by moving the slot downstream but the effect of non-uniform slot injection is just the reverse. An increase in Mach number and total enthalpy at wall causes the separation to occur earlier while cooling delays it. The non-uniform total enthalpy at the wall (i.e., the cooling or heating of the wall in a slot) has very little effect on the skin friction and hence on the point of separation.
