Three-dimensional and time-dependent solution for the fluid flow and heat transfer past a circular cylinder with fins is obtained using accurate and efficient spectral methods. A Fourier expansion with a corresponding uniform grid is used along the circumferential direction. A spectral multi-domain method with a corresponding Chebyshev collocation is used along r-z plane to handle fins attached to the surface of a circular cylinder. At the Reynolds number of 300 based on a cylinder diameter, results with fins are compared with those without fins in order to see the effects of the presence of fins on three-dimensional and unsteady fluid flow and heat transfer past a bluff body. The detail structures of fluid flow and temperature field are obtained as a function of time to investigate how the presence of fins changes heat transfer mechanism related to the vortical structure in the wake region.

This paper presents a numerical simulation of the behavior of the LiBr solution droplets and falling films in horizontal tube banks of absorber. The model developed here accounts for the details of the droplets formation and impact process for absorption on horizontal tubes including the heat transfer from solution film to the tube wall. Especially. the characteristic of unsteady behavior of solution flow has been investigated. Flow visualization studies shown that the solution droplets and falling films have some of the complex characteristics. It is found that. with the numerical conditions similar to the operating condition of an actual absorption chiller/heater, the outlet solution temperature and heat flux from solution film to the tube wall have a stable periodic behavior with time. The solution droplets and falling films in horizontal tube banks of absorber is a periodic unsteady flow. The results from this model are compared with previous experimental observation taken with a high-speed digital video camera and shown good agreement.

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of the ex-vessel core melt (corium) were investigated using a commercial CFD code along with the experimental data on the spreading of corium available in the literature (VULCANO VE-U7 test). In the numerical simulation of the unsteady two-phase flow, the volume-of-fluid model was applied for the spreading and interfacial surface formation of corium with the surrounding air. The effects of the key parameters were evaluated for the corium spreading, including the radiation, decay heat, temperature-dependent viscosity and initial temperature of corium. The results showed a reasonable trend of corium progression influenced by the changes in the radiation, decay heat, temperature-dependent viscosity and initial temperature of corium. The modeling of the viscosity appropriate for corium and the radiative heat transfer was critical, since the front progression and temperature profiles were strongly dependent on the models. Further development is required for the code to consider the formation of crust on the surfaces of corium and the interaction with the substrate.

In order to predict the temperature distribution of stainless steel strip in Bright Annealing (BA) furnace, we performed the analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow using STAR-CCM+. The analysis model included unsteady fluid flow, heat transfer with radiation and moving grid. Two kinds of radiative properties, emissivity and reflectivity, were applied to the stainless steel strip, one is constant and the other is variable with time. As we call, the BA furnaces of stainless steel strip have two different types, muffle and no-muffle. The using of muffle type has been faced with some problems such as rising in material price and shortening of life cycle, etc. So the development of no-muffle type BA furnace is very important in order to save energy cost, lower environmental load and increase the productivity. The designed (or expected) temperature of stainless steel strip coming out of BA furnace was about $1065^{\circ}C$ while the environment temperature maintains around $1100^{\circ}C$. The result of our calculation was very close (or similar) to design temperature, and the application of radiative properties variable with time produced more accurate result than applying constant ones.

The room temperature and air conditioning load in the underground space have been investigated numerically by the unsteady heat conduction equation. The model room has 3 m in height and 10 m in width, and it's position in the underground depth are 0.5 m to 5 m. When the room was located around surface, the room temperatures were strongly influenced by the atmosphere. But the underground depth is more than 2 m, the yearly temperature amplitude was small and the temperature phase was delayed. Up to 5 m of the depth, the cooling and heating load was decreased rapidly, but over 10 m of the depth, the air conditioning load was constant.

The present study is carried out to examine the combined effect of heat absorption on flow model. The model consists of unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid. The flow is along an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable mass diffusion. The magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plate. The fluid model under consideration has been solved by Laplace transform technique. The numerical data obtained is discussed with the help of graphs and table. The numerical values obtained for skin-friction have been tabulated. To shorten the lengthy equations in the solution some symbols have been assumed, which are mentioned in appendix. The appendix is included in the article as the last section of the manuscript.

Heat regenerator occupied by regenerative materials improves thermal efficiency of combustion system through the recovery of sensible heat of exhaust gases. By using one-dimensional two-phase fluid dynamics model, the unsteady thermal flow of regenerator with spherical particles, was numerically analyzed to evaluate the heat transfer and pressure losses and to derive the design parameter for heat regenerator. It is confirmed that the computational results, such as air preheat temperature, exhausted gases outlet temperature, and pressure losses, agreed well with the experimental data. The thermal flow in heat regenerator varies with porosity, configuration of regenerator and diameter of regenerative particle. As the gas velocity increases with decreasing the cross-sectional area of the regenerator, the heat transfer between gas and particle enhances and pressure losses decrease. As particle diameter decreases, the air is preheated higher and the exhaust gases are cooled lower with the increase of pressure losses. Assuming a given exhaust gases temperature at the regenerator outlet, the regenerator need to be linearly lengthened with inlet Reynolds number of exhaust gases, which is defined as a regenerator design parameter.

In the present study, the unsteady Couette flow with heat transfer of a dusty viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid under the influence of an exponential decaying pressure gradient is studied without neglecting the Hall effect. The parallel plates are assumed to be porous and subjected to a uniform suction from above and injection from below while the fluid is acted upon by an external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plates. The governing equations are solved numerically using finite differences to yield the velocity and temperature distributions for both the fluid and dust particles.

An unsteady quasi one-dimensional model of momentum, heat and mass transfer in a falling film of a vertical plate absorber which is cooled by air was developed using the integral method. Energy conservation of the absorber wall is considered in the model. The model can predict absorption rate, film thickness and mean velocity as well as concentration and temperature profiles. Predictions of steady state temperature and concentration profiles for LiBr/water system for constant wall temperature condition are in good agreement with the two-dimensional finite difference method solutions. Effects of operating conditions, such as convective heat transfer coefficient between the cooling air and the absorber wall, cooling air temperature and film thickness at inlet, on absorption rate of water vapor into LiBr/water solution were shown.

In this present article, we analyzed the heat and mass transfer characteristics of the nonlinear unsteady radiative MHD flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate under the influence of Soret and chemical reaction effects. The effect of physical parameters are accounted for two distinct types of thermal boundary conditions namely prescribed uniform wall temperature thermal boundary condition and prescribed heat flux thermal boundary condition. Based on the flow nature, the dimensionless flow governing equations are resolved to harmonic and non harmonic parts. In particular skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are found to evolve into their steady state case in the large time limit. Parametric study of the solutions are conducted and discussed.
