Numerical Investigation of Power-Law Fluid Flows and Heat Transfer inside of Curved Duct under Aiding Thermal Buoyancy

Abstract:

This paper deals with a numerical investigation in order to predict correctly the combined effects of aiding thermal buoyancy and rheological flow behavior of power-law fluids on downward flow and heat transfer rate inside of 180° curved duct. The governing equations involving the momentum, continuity and the energy are solved in two-dimensions using the package called ANSYS-CFX. The computational results are depicted and discussed for the range of conditions as: Re = 40 to 1000, Ri = 0 to-1 and n = 0.4 to 1.2 at fixed value of Prandt number of Pr = 1. To interpret the found results, the flow structure and temperature field are shown in form of streamlines and isotherm contours. The average Nusselt number of the inner and outer walls of curved channel is calculated to determine the role of Reynolds number, Richardson number and power-law index. It is found that increase in strength of aiding buoyancy creates a counter rotating region in angle of 90 degrees of the duct.
