Abstract: Three-dimensional continuity, momentum, and energy equations have been solved around a perforated vertical hollow cylinder to predict the buoyancy-induced flow field and the temperature distribution around it. Finite volume ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional continuity, momentum, and energy equations have been solved in a battery pack of a unit module with 3 × 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 × 4 Li-ion cells to obtain the flow field and temperature distribution around the ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations have been conducted to study natural convection heat transfer from solid or hollow cylinders in the laminar range of Ra spanning from 104 to 108 for L/D in the range of 0.05≤(L/D)≤20. Interesting flow ...

Abstract: The continuity, momentum, and the energy conservation equation for air around a hollow cylinder with inline or staggered holes have been solved in three dimensions to assess the buoyancy driven flow and temperature field ...

Abstract: Natural convection heat transfer from a vertical hollow cylinder suspended in air has been analyzed numerically by varying the Rayleigh number (Ra) in the laminar (104 ≤ Ra ≤ 108) regime. The simulations have been carried ...
