An approximate method for oxygen diffusion in a sphere with simultaneous absorption

S.G. Ahmed

The oxygen diffusion problem is usually formulated in two stages: first, the steady state and second, the moving boundary stage. In this paper, we will consider the solution of…

Flow and heat transfer in the boundary layer of a micropolar fluid on a continuous moving surface

I.A. Hassanien, A. Shamardan, N.M. Moursy, Rama Subba Reddy Gorla

A boundary layer analysis is presented for the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of an incompressible micropolar fluid flowing over a plane moving surface in parallel…

A hybrid finite element‐finite difference method for thermal analysis in X‐ray lithography

W. Dai, R. Nassar

X‐ray lithography is an important technique in micro fabrication used to obtain structures and devices with a high aspect ratio. The X‐ray exposure takes place in a system…

Effect of throughflow and Coriolis force on Bénard convection in micropolar fluids

Yedidi N. Murty

The effect of throughflow and Coriolis force on convective instabilities in micropolar fluid layer heated from below for free‐free, isothermal and micro‐rotation free boundaries…

Finite difference modelling of natural convection flow with thermophoresis

S. Jayaraj

Deals with thermophoretic analysis in natural convection laminar flow over a cold vertical flat plate. The governing equations are solved by finite difference marching technique…

Numerical simulation of the surface hardening of steel

Jürgen Fuhrmann, Dietmar Hömberg

We discuss a model that is capable of describing the solid‐solid phase transitions in steel. It consists of a system of ordinary differential equations for the volume fractions of…
