摘要: 在层流条件下, 对饱和多孔介质中的竖直板, 研究幂指数型非Newton流的自由对流热交换.非Newton纳米流体服从幂指数型的数学模型,模型综合考虑了Brown运动和热泳的影响.通过相似变换,将问题的偏微分控制方程组,转化为常微分方程组,得到了常微分方程组的数值解.数值解依赖于幂指数n,Lewis数Le,浮力比Nr,Brown运动参数Nb,以及热泳参数Nt.在n和Le的不同取值下,研究并讨论了对相关流体性质参数的影响和简化的Nusselt数.Abstract: The free convective heat transfer to the power-law non-Newtonian from a vertical plate in a porous medium saturated with nanofluid under laminar conditions was investigated. It was considered that the non-Newtonian nanofluid obeys the mathematical model of power-law. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The partial differential system governing the problem was transformed into an ordinary system via a usual similarity transformation. The numerical solutions of the resulting ordinary system were obtained. These solutions depend on the power-law index n, Lewis number Le, buoyancy-ratio number Nr, Brownian motion number Nb and thermophoresis number Nt. For various values of n and Le, the effect of the influence parameters on the fluid behavior as well as the reduced Nusselt number was presented and discussed.
