Mixed convection from a circular cylinder to power law fluids / A. A. Soares in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 48 N° 17 (Septembre 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 48 N° 17 (Septembre 2009) . - pp. 8219–8231 Titre : Mixed convection from a circular cylinder to power law fluids Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A. A. Soares, Auteur ; J. Anacleto, Auteur ; L. Caramelo, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 8219–8231 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Heat  transfer  characteristics  Circular  cylinder  Mixed  convection  regime Résumé : The heat transfer characteristics from a circular cylinder immersed in power law fluids have been studied in the mixed convection regime when the imposed flow is oriented normal to the direction of gravity. The continuity, momentum, and thermal energy equations have been solved numerically using a second-order finite difference method to obtain the streamline, surface viscosity, and vorticity patterns, to map the temperature field near the cylinder and to determine the local and surface-averaged values of the Nusselt number. Overall, mixed convection distorts streamline and isotherm patterns and increases the drag coefficient as well as the rate of heat transfer from the circular cylinder. New results showing the complex dependence of all these parameters on power law index (n = 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.6), Prandtl number (= 1,100), Reynolds number (1−30), and the Richardson number (0, 1, and 3) are presented herein. Over this range of conditions, the flow is assumed to be steady, as is the case for Newtonian fluids.
