Abstract: We analytically studied the onset of convection, induced by internal heating, such as that produced by microwave heating or chemical reaction, in a horizontal layer of a nanofluid subject to Brownian motion and thermophoresis. ...

Abstract: The model developed in our previous paper (Nield and Kuznetsov, 2011, “The Effect of Vertical Throughflow on Thermal Instability in a Porous Medium Layer Saturated by a Nanofluid,â€‌ Transp. Porous Media, 87(3), pp. ...

Abstract: This note deals with three main themes. The first is a discussion of the early literature on convection in porous media. The second is a brief overview of current analytical modeling of singlephase convection in saturated ...

Abstract: The effect of vertical throughflow on the onset of convection, induced by an applied vertical temperature gradient in a vertical cylinder is studied analytically using linear stability theory. This problem is important to ...

Abstract: Helisoma trivolvis pond snail embryos are known for their rotation, which is induced by beating of cilia at the embryo's surface. A common hypothesis links this behavior to enhancing oxygen transfer to the embryo's surface. ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigated the onset of natural convection in a horizontal fluid layer due to nonuniform internal heat generation, which is relevant to a number of geophysical situations. We investigated a number of ...

Abstract: Fully developed and stationary forced convection in a planeparallel porous channel is analyzed. The boundary walls are modeled as impermeable and subject to external heat transfer. Different Biot numbers are defined at the ...
