This paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. Five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. For each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the […]
This research deals with the numerical analysis of the heat transfer characteristics of the unsteady combination of alumina-kerosene nanofluid enclosed in a porous cavity with a moving lid. The governing equations of fluid flow and conjugate heat transfer along with the relevant boundary conditions are applied to express the physical problem mathematically. First, the boundary […]
