Modelling Transient Mixed Convection Flow in a Vertical Micro-Annulus with Internal Heat Generation and Temperature-Dependent Viscosity

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract This paper presents an analytical solutions for describing transient mixed convection flow and heat transfer in a vertical micro-annulus with internal heat generation and temperaturedependent viscosity. The model formulated taking into consideration the viscous energy dissipation. The outer wall of the annulus is assumed to be impermeable. The governing equations formulated based on the conservation of momentum and energy were solved analytically using polynomial approximation method. The results obtained are presented graphically and discussed. The results revealed the effects of operating parameters on the flow and heat transfer in an annulus. Our findings showed that there is an inverse relationship between the fluid temperature and fluid velocity. This results might be used for interpretation or experiments planning of the more complex flow and heat transfer processes.
