Flow physics of Prandtl–rheology coupling in non-Newtonian natural convection and entropy generation within a cylindrical annulus
Buoyancy-driven flow of non-Newtonian fluids in annular geometries is relevant to a range of thermal engineering applications. However, the jointly effects of fluid rheology and the Prandtl number on heat transfer and thermodynamic irreversibility in this geometry are still not well characterized. We address this gap t...
