Such full-domain RBF methods are highly flexible and can exhibit spectral convergence rates Madych & Nelson (1990). However, in their traditional implementation the fully-populated matrix systems which are produced lead to computational complexities of at least order- N 2 w[r]
Delayed-mix burners are a special form of nozzle mix, in which mixing is intentionally slow. (A raw gas torch is an unintentional form of delayed mixing.) Ignition of a fuel with a shortage of air results in polymerization or thermal cracking that forms soot particles onl[r]
3. Numerical analysis A numerical analysis of thermo-fluid dynamics characteristics is conducted by adopting the SIMPLER algorithm developed by Patankar (1980). While the convection term is discretised using the QUICK finite-difference scheme (Thakur & Shyy, 1993), the central[r]

On the right-hand side of Fig. 8.1 is the corresponding film conden- sation problem in its simplest form. An isothermal vertical plate cools an adjacent vapor, which condenses and forms a liquid film on the wall. 1 The film is normally very thin and it flows off, rather like a b.l.,[r]

The reader can solve all sorts of unsteady mass diffusion problems by direct analogy to the methods of Chapters 4 and 5 when the concen- tration of the diffusing species is low. At higher concentrations of the diffusing species, however, counterdiffusion velocit[r]

The paper extended the studies of Thomas F. Irvine et al and V. D. Quang and D. H. Chung by considering the influence of heat transfer into the wall of vertical channel with natural convection motion of a power law fluid as well as the influence of heat sources.
In the last decade, the Ti-6Al-4V alloy has accounted for more than half the production of titanium alloys worldwide, a market estimated at more than $2,000 million (Leyens & Peters, 2003). This predominance is mainly due to Ti-6Al-4V having the best all-around mechanical characteristics[r]
The aim of present chapter is to investigate in detail the effect of a magnetic field as well as thermal radiation on free convection associating with heat transfer in an enclosure filled with an electrically conducting fluid. Basically the full two-dimens[r]
In many industrial engineering and other technological processes, it is crucial to characterise heat and mass transfer, for example to avoid thermo mechanical damages. Particularly, in the inlet region of internal pulsed flows, unsteady dynamic and ther[r]
