Forced convection of non-Newtonian fluids in porous concentric annuli

This study aims to numerically investigate the transient forced convection of non-Newtonian fluid in the entrance region of porous concentric annuli. The hydrodynamic behavior of the flow is assumed to be steady and it is modeled using the non-Darcian flow and the power law models. The transients in...

Description
Summary:This study aims to numerically investigate the transient forced convection of non-Newtonian fluid in the entrance region of porous concentric annuli. The hydrodynamic behavior of the flow is assumed to be steady and it is modeled using the non-Darcian flow and the power law models. The transients in the thermal behaviors result from sudden changes in the boundary temperatures. The effects of different fluid flow and solid matrix parameters on the thermal behavior of the annular are investigated.
