Abstract The present work deals with the flow and thermal analysis of nanofluid in the wavy channels. The governing flow equations are solved numerically using CFD package assuming single phase approach. To study the effect of the concentration and size variation of the nanoparticle, the concentration and size are varied from 0% - 5% and 25 nm - 100 nm respectively over the Reynolds number range of 250-1500 for Au-water nanofluid. The effect on heat transfer enhancement because of corrugation of wavy channel is analyzed on four different shapes (sinusoidal, triangular, trapezoidal and square) channels. The More >

Abstract Thermal conductivity and rheology behavior of two aqueous nanofluids, i.e., alumina and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanofluids, were experimentally investigated and compared with previous analytical models. Information about the possible agglomeration size and interfacial thermal resistance in the nanofluids were obtained and partially validated. By incorporating the effects of interfacial thermal resistance, a revised model was found to accurately reproduce the experimental data based on the agglomeration size extracted from the rheology analysis. In addition, the thermal conductivity change of the alumina/water nanofluid with elapsed time was investigated. Thermal conductivity measurements were also conducted for More >

Abstract This study examines the behavior of a micropolar nanofluid flowing over a sheet in the presence of a transverse magnetic field and thermal effects. In addition, chemical (first-order homogeneous) reactions are taken into account. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the system of governing coupled non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs), which account for the transport of mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy and species, to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The Runge-Kutta method along with shooting method is used to solve them. The impact of several parameters is evaluated. It is shown More >

Abstract In line with recent studies, where it has been shown that nanofluids containing graphene have a stronger capacity to boost the heat transfer coefficient with respect to ordinary nanofluids, experiments have been conducted using water with cobalt ferrite/graphene nanoparticles. In particular, a circular channel made of copper subjected to a constant heat flux has been considered. As nanoparticles are sensitive to the presence of a magnetic field, different conditions have been examined, allowing both the strength and the frequency of such a field to span relatively wide ranges and assuming different concentrations of nanoparticles.

Abstract The current article discusses the peristaltic flow of the Casson fluid model with implications for double diffusivity, radiative flux, variable conductivity and viscosity. This study offers a thorough understanding of the functioning and illnesses of embryological organs, renal systems, respiratory tracts, etc., that may be useful to medical professionals and researchers. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the consequences of double diffusivity on the peristaltic flow of nanofluid. By implementing the appropriate transformation, the governed differential equations of momentum, temperature, concentration and double diffusivity are worked out numerically.

Abstract The current work seeks to examine numerical heat transfer by using a complicated channel with a trapezoid shape hanging in the channel. This channel demonstrates two-dimensional laminar flow, forced convective flow, and incompressible flow. To explore the behavior of heat transfer in complex channels, several parameters, such as the constant Prandtl number (Pr = 6.9), volume fraction (ϕ) equal to (0.02 to 0.04), Cauchy number (Ca) equal to (10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁸), and Reynolds number equal to (60 to 160) were utilized. At the complex channel, different elastic walls are used in different locations, with case A… More >

Abstract In this paper, we investigated the influence of melting on mixed convection heat and mass transfer from the vertical flat plate in a non-Newtonian nanofluid saturated porous medium. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant, but different, levels of temperature and concentration. The Ostwald–de Waele power-law model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian nanofluid behavior. A similarity solution for the transformed governing equations is obtained. The numerical computation is carried out for various values of the non-dimensional physical parameters. The variation of temperature, concentration, heat and mass transfer coefficients with the power-law More >

Abstract In this paper, we study the chemical reaction and heat source effects on unsteady MHD free convection heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid flow past a semi-infinite flat plate in a rotating system. The plate is assumed to oscillate in time with steady frequency so that the solutions of the boundary layer are the similar oscillatory type. The innovation of the present work is closed-form analytic solutions are obtained for the momentum, energy and concentration equations. The influence of various parameters entering into the problem in the nanofluid velocity, temperature and concentration distributions, as More >
