... for all Lewis numbers and independent of the heat source. But in the case of a positive Soret parameter in the absence of a heat source, the fluid flow is stable for Le ≥ 3 while the influence of a heat source destabilizes the flow for Le > 2 . In high and low shear flows with increasing solutal...

... 01 2013 08 06 2013 Linear and nonlinear Rayleigh–Bénard convections with variable heat source (sink) are studied analytically using the Fourier series. The strength of the heat source is characterized by an internal Rayleigh number, R I , whose effect is to decrease the critical external...

...G. V. Kuznetsov; M. A. Sheremet Laminar conjugate heat transfer in a rectangular area having finite thickness heat-conducting walls at local heating has been analyzed numerically. The heat source located on the left wall is kept at constant temperature during the whole process. Conjugate heat...
