ABSTRACT

The laminar flow of circular two-phase jet is numerically investigated. The fluid was discharged from a small circular orifice in a wall and mixed with an ambient fluid which was at rest. The Schlichting–Yih model in a circular jet of viscous incompressible fluid is taken as the basis. It is found that temperature at the center of the jet is maximum and decreases asymptotically to attain the free stream value. Further, the particle temperature increases with decrease of conductivity of carrier fluid. The boundary layer equations for momentum and energy have been solved by finite difference technique. The effect of various parameters such as Prandtl number, volume fraction, and diffusion parameter has been discussed graphically.
