Two-Dimensional Heat Loss From A Building Slab Including Convective Effects In Saturated Soil, William W. Rust Iii
Two-Dimensional Heat Loss From A Building Slab Including Convective Effects In Saturated Soil, William W. Rust Iii
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The heat loss from a building slab was investigated. The continuity equation, Darcy's Law and the energy equation were formulated to include the temperature dependence of viscosity and density of water. The governing equations and appropriate boundary conditions were transformed into dimensionless variables. A finite difference numerical scheme was constructed based on the Gauss-Seidel method by lines and solved iteratively in alternating directions. A correlation between the geometrical characteristics of the domain, the convective surface heating parameters, and the total nondimensional slab heat loss in two dimensions was discovered. Furthermore, the correlation was extended to three-dimensional slabs and produced good …
Effect Of Precursor Heating On Radiating And Chemically Reacting Viscous Flow Around A Jovian Entry Body, Kuo Yen Szema
Effect Of Precursor Heating On Radiating And Chemically Reacting Viscous Flow Around A Jovian Entry Body, Kuo Yen Szema
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The influence of changes in the precursor region flow properties (resulting from absorption of the radiation from the shock layer) on the entire shock layer flow phenomena around a Jovian entry body is investigated under physically realistic conditions. In the precursor region, the flow is considered to be inviscid and the variations in flow properties are determined by employing the small perturbation technique as well as the thin layer approximation. The flow in the shock layer is assumed to be steady, axisymmetric and viscous. The analysis is carried out by considering both the chemical equilibrium and nonequilibrium composition of the …
