Using a zero-equation turbulence model, fully-developed average turbulent MHD pipe flow with wall heating was simulated. Uncertainty was approximated through grid-independence and model validation. Effect of Reynolds, Hartmann, and Prandtl numbers on heat transfer characteristics was investigated. With increasing Hartmann number, heat transfer was shown to increase towards the side layer. Increasing the Prandtl number was shown to enhance heat transfer. Increasing the Reynolds number decreased the effect of the Hartmann number.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
