Heat and Flow Control in Cavity with Cold Circular Cylinder Placed in Non-Newtonian Fluid by Performing Finite Element Simulations

Abstract

A study on strategies regarding advancement in heat transfer characteristics in two-dimensional closed domains by placing cold cylinders is conducted. This effort is undertaken due to the fact that active and passive control in heat transmission is connected with provision of temperature differences at different locations of enclosures. Based on the experiments, researchers have concluded that placement of cold cylinder in non-uniformly distributed heat in a cavity is the most effective technique to enrich heat transfer rate, along with reducing the the waste of extra heat generation in processes such as polymer and aero dynamical extrusion, glass cooling, refrigeration, heating and cooling systems. Thus, the prime goal of this work is to outline heat and flow characteristics of non-linear fluid occupied in a square enclosure with adjustment of the cold cylinder. Heat transfer attributes are incorporated by accounting buoyancy forces and forming coupling of molecular diffusion of fluid within the flow domain. Formulation of the problem in dimensionless form is attained by encapsulating the aspects of natural convection in view of principal partial differential equations. Parametric study for governing expressions is computed numerically with the finite element method based on COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.6. Quadric interpolating functions are used to obtain information about velocity and temperature on nodes in elements. Hybrid meshing is manifested for discretization of the domain into rectangular and triangular elements. For the optimized variation in flow structures, prospective parameters are varied from and. The achieved results are projected graphically through streamlines, isotherms, and local and average Nusselt numbers. Tabular data for kinetic energy and wall heat flux are also calculated. It is inferred through the analysis that, with uplift in the Rayleigh number elevation in the magnitude of kinetic energy and convective heat transfer arises, whereas the reverse pattern is depicted versus the power–law index

Compressible Non-Newtonian Fluid Based Road Traffic Flow Equation Solved by Physical-Informed Rational Neural Network

“…In terms of solving PDEs, Stevenson et al (2020) have attempted to use the finite element method to analyze parabolic PDE [35], while Metzger (2021) have used FEM to solve 4th-order PDE, so as to solve the liquid crystal flow characteristics in liquid crystal flow guides [36]. In describing the solution of PDE of non-Newtonian fluid, Memon et al (2021) have used FEM simulate the heat transfer effect of non-Newtonian power law fluid on the surface of the end of a cylinder channel containing a mesh screen, and have pointed out that the heat transfer increases with the power exponent of non-Newtonian fluid [37]; Bilal et al (2022) and Nawaz et al (2022) have also studied the heat transfer characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid, and have used FEM to quantitatively solve the heat transfer characteristics of viscous fluid in different spaces and material environments [38][39]; Hou et al (2022) and Kune et al (2022) have discussed the properties of non-Newtonian fluid under the influence of Soret and Dufour effects, and have solved the heat and mass transfer characteristics of fluids with different properties under chemical reaction using FEM [40][41]; Omri et al (2022) have used the generalized FEM to discretize PDE so as to solve the convection heat transfer effect of non-Newtonian mixed nano fluid in the 3layer square cavity, and have reasonably approximated the temperature, speed and pressure of the fluid [42].…”
