This study presents an analysis of periodic heat diffusion in an annular fin with uniform thickness. When the temperature of the fin base is changed in the form of a sinusoidal function, the exact temperature solution can be obtained by Laplace transformation in terms of the dimensionless parameters in the infinite series. Local heat flux and average heat flux, local fin efficiency and average fin efficiency were obtained. Particularly, the table of eigenvalues that are the indispensable condition in solving the heat transfer problem of annular fin in a transient state with convection phenomena at the fin edge is provided. The tables of heat fluxes and average heat fluxes, fin efficiencies and average fin efficiencies are also provided from the computed results. Also, substituting the variations of dimensionless parameters into the these exact solutions, the characteristics of these response are investigated.

The present study deals with a mathematical model describing the dynamic response of heat and mass transfer in blood flow through bifurcated arteries under stenotic condition. The geometry of the bifurcated arterial segment possessing constrictions in both the parent and the daughter arterial lumen frequently appearing in the diseased arteries causing malfunction of the cardiovascular system, is formulated mathematically with the introduction of the suitable curvatures at the lateral junction and the flow divider. The blood flowing through the artery is treated to be Newtonian. The nonlinear unsteady flow phenomena is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations while those of heat and mass transfer are controlled by the heat conduction and the convection-diffusion equations respectively. All these equations together with the appropriate boundary conditions describing the present biomechanical problem following the radial coordinate transformation are solved numerically by adopting finite difference technique. The respective profiles of the flow field, the temperature and the concentration and their distributions as well are obtained. The influences of the stenosis, the arterial wall motion and the unsteady behaviour of the system in terms of the heat and mass transfer on the blood stream in the entire arterial segment are high­lighted through several plots presented at the end of the paper in order to illustrate the applicability of the present model under study.

In last few decades, although thermal and/or solutal buoyancy-driven recirculating flows in a closed ampoule have been intensively studies as a model problem, there exist interesting total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂ that have been unreported in the literature. It is concluded that the total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂(A) increases linearly and directly as the temperature difference regions in the range of 10℃ ≤ ΔT ≤ 50°, 3.5 × 10³ ≤ Gr_t ≤ 4.08 × 10³, 4.94 × 10⁴ ≤ Gr_s ≤ 6.87 × 10⁴. For the range of 10 Torr ≤ P_B ≤ 150 Torr, the total molar flux of Hg₂Br₂(A) decays second order exponentially as the partial pressure of component B (argon as an impurity), P_B increases. From the view point of energy transport, the fewer the partial pressure of component B (argon), P_B is, the more the energy transport is achieved.
