CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishThe laminar mixed convection in a vertical annular duct is studied. The fully developed region is considered under the hypothesis of parallel flow. The momentum local-balance equation and the energy local-balance equation are solved analytically by means of the Fourier-series expansions method. Moreover, the Fanning friction factors are determined. Two particular cases are considered: an annular duct with the inner wall adiabatic and the outer wall subjected to a sinusoidal heat-flux distribution in the angular direction; an annulus with the inner wall subjected to a sinusoidal heat-flux distribution and the outer wall adiabatic. The threshold value of the ratio Gr/Re for the onset of the phenomenon of flow reversal is determined as a function of the duct aspect ratio. Finally, the solution for a more general case is determined: the annular duct has both walls subjected to arbitrary heat-flux distributions, which can be described as Fourier sine series with respect to the angular coordinate.

| Abstract: | The laminar mixed convection in a vertical annular duct is studied. The fully developed region is considered under the hypothesis of parallel flow. The momentum local-balance equation and the energy local-balance equation are solved analytically by means of the Fourier-series expansions method. Moreover, the Fanning friction factors are determined. Two particular cases are considered: an annular duct with the inner wall adiabatic and the outer wall subjected to a sinusoidal heat-flux distribution in the angular direction; an annulus with the inner wall subjected to a sinusoidal heat-flux distribution and the outer wall adiabatic. The threshold value of the ratio Gr/Re for the onset of the phenomenon of flow reversal is determined as a function of the duct aspect ratio. Finally, the solution for a more general case is determined: the annular duct has both walls subjected to arbitrary heat-flux distributions, which can be described as Fourier sine series with respect to the angular coordinate. |
