Abstract The interactions among thermal history, plastic deformation and stress in inertia friction welding (IFW) under different welding parameters have been widely considered a crucial issue and still not fully understood. A novel 3D fully coupled finite element model based on a plastic friction pair was developed to simulate the IFW process of a Ni-based superalloy and reveal the omnidirectional thermo-mechanical coupling mechanism under different welding conditions. The numerical model successfully simulated the deceleration, deformation processes, and peak torsional moments in IFW and captured the evolution of temperature, plastic deformation, and stress. The simulated results were… More >

Abstract Fractal time-dependent issues in fluid dynamics provide a distinct difficulty in numerical analysis due to their complex characteristics, necessitating specialized computing techniques for precise and economical solutions. This study presents an innovative computational approach to tackle these difficulties. The main focus is applying the Fractal Runge-Kutta Method to model the time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Newtonian fluid with rescaled viscosity flow on Riga plates. An efficient computational scheme is proposed for handling fractal time-dependent problems in flow phenomena. The scheme is comprised of three stages and constructed using three different time levels. The stability of the scheme… More >

Abstract This study investigates the influence of periodic heat flux and viscous dissipation on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow through a vertical channel with heat generation. A theoretical approach is employed. The channel is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field, while one side experiences a periodic heat flow, and the other side undergoes a periodic temperature variation. Numerical solutions for the governing partial differential equations are obtained using a finite difference approach, complemented by an eigenfunction expansion method for analytical solutions. Visualizations and discussions illustrate how different variables affect the flow velocity and temperature fields. This offers comprehensive More >

Abstract Abuse of Lithium-ion batteries, both physical and electrochemical, can lead to significantly reduced operational capabilities. In some instances, abuse can cause catastrophic failure, including thermal runaway, combustion, and explosion. Many different test standards that include abuse conditions have been developed, but these generally consider only one condition at a time and only provide go/no-go criteria. In this work, different types of cell abuse are implemented concurrently to determine the extent to which simultaneous abuse conditions aggravate cell degradation and failure. Vibrational loading is chosen to be the consistent type of physical abuse, and the first… More >

Abstract In this study, a radiative MHD stagnation point flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet incorporating thermophoresis and Brownian motion is considered. Using a similarity method to reshape the underlying Partial differential equations into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the implications of heat generation, and chemical reaction on the flow field are described in detail. Moreover a Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used to interpret the related mechanisms. It is found that an increase in the magnetic and velocity exponent parameters can damp the fluid velocity, while thermophoresis and Brownian motion promote specific thermal More >

Abstract A magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of fractional Maxwell fluid past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate is considered. In addition, other factors such as heat generation and chemical reaction are used in the problem. The flow model is solved using Caputo fractional derivative. Initially, the governing equations are made non-dimensional and then solved by Laplace transform. The influence of different parameters like diffusion thermo, fractional parameter, Magnetic field, chemical reaction, Prandtl number and Maxwell parameter are discussed through numerous graphs. From figures, it is observed that fluid motion decreases with increasing values of Schmidt number and chemical More >

Abstract

A depth understanding of fluid flow past a curved duct having rectangular cross-section with different aspect ratios (l) are essential for various engineering applications such as in chemical, mechanical, bio-mechanical and bio-medical engineering. So highly ambitious researchers have given significant attention to study new characteristics of fluid flow in a curved duct. The flow characterization in the rectangular duct has been studied over a wide range of numerical and selective experimental studies. However, proper knowledge with the effects of Coriolis force for different aspect ratios is important for better understanding of the transitional behaviour and

Abstract The main focus of this study is to investigate the impact of heat generation/absorption with ramp velocity and ramp temperature on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) time-dependent Maxwell fluid over an unbounded plate embedded in a permeable medium. Non-dimensional parameters along with Laplace transformation and inversion algorithms are used to find the solution of shear stress, energy, and velocity profile. Recently, new fractional differential operators are used to define ramped temperature and ramped velocity. The obtained analytical solutions are plotted for different values of emerging parameters. Fractional time derivatives are used to analyze the impact of fractional parameters… More >

Abstract This paper introduces the effect of heat absorption (generation) and suction (injection) on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary-layer flow of Casson nanofluid (CNF) via a non-linear stretching surface with the viscous dissipation in two dimensions. By utilizing the similarity transformations, the leading PDEs are transformed into a set of ODEs with adequate boundary conditions and then resolved numerically by (4–5)^th-order Runge-Kutta Fehlberg procedure based on the shooting technique. Numerical computations are carried out by Maple 15 software. With the support of graphs, the impact of dimensionless control parameters on the nanoparticle concentration profiles, the temperature, and the flow… More >

Abstract This work presents a succinct review of the thermal behavior of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and its relationship with aging, heat generation, thermal management and thermal failure. This work focuses on the temperature effects that promote the main aging mechanisms in the anode and compare these effects among different cell chemistries for calendar and cycling aging modes. We review the strategies to mitigate aging, including the design of the battery thermal management system (BTMS), best practices of battery users to minimize the effect of stress factors, and the appropriate selection of the anode material.
