Abstract This study explains the entropy process of natural convective heating in the nanofluid-saturated cavity in a heated fin and magnetic field. The temperature is constant on the Y-shaped fin, insulating the top wall while the remaining walls remain cold. All walls are subject to impermeability and non-slip conditions. The mathematical modeling of the problem is demonstrated by the continuity, momentum, and energy equations incorporating the inclined magnetic field. For elucidating the flow characteristics Finite Element Method (FEM) is implemented using stable FE pair. A hybrid fine mesh is used for discretizing the domain. Velocity and More >

Abstract The influence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on a fluid containing nanoparticles flowing over a stretchable cylinder is examined. The classical Navier-Stokes equations are considered in a porous frame. In addition, the Lorentz force is taken into account. The controlling coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of first order ordinary differential equations by means of a similarity transformation. The resulting system of equations is solved by employing a shooting approach properly implemented in MATLAB. The evolution of the boundary layer and the growing velocity is shown graphically together with the related 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 application of mathematical modeling to biological fluids is of utmost importance, as it has diverse applications in medicine. The peristaltic mechanism plays a crucial role in understanding numerous biological flows. In this paper, we present a theoretical investigation of the double diffusion convection in the peristaltic transport of a Prandtl nanofluid through an asymmetric tapered channel under the combined action of thermal radiation and an induced magnetic field. The equations for the current flow scenario are developed, incorporating relevant assumptions, and considering the effect of viscous dissipation. The impact of thermal radiation and double… More >

Abstract In current study, the influence of magnetic field (MHD) on heat transfer of natural convection boundary layer flow in Casson ternary hybrid nanofluid past a stretching sheet is studied using numerical simulation. The Newtonian heating boundary conditions that depend on the temperature and velocity terms are taken into this investigation. The particular dimensional governing equations, for the studied problem, are converted to the system of partial differential equations utilizing adequate similarity transformation. Consequently, the system of equations is numerically solved using well-known Kellar box numerical techniques. The obtained numerical results are in excellent approval with… More >

Abstract This work presents a simulation of the phenomena of natural convection in an enclosure with a variable heating regime by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). We consider a square enclosure of side H filled with air (Pr = 0.71) and heated from below, with a hot portion of length L = 0.8 H, by imposing a sinusoidal temperature. The unheated segments of the bottom wall are treated as adiabatic, and one of the vertical walls features a cold region, while the remaining walls remain adiabatic. The outcomes of the two-dimensional (2D) problem are depicted through isotherms, streamlines, More >

Abstract We study the effect of magnetic field on the electro-hydrodynamics of ion transport in a liquid electrolyte near an ion-selective membrane using direct numerical simulation. Ion transport across the ion selective membrane plays an essential role in many electro-hydrodynamic and electro-microfluidic systems. Above a critical voltage, electroconvective instability occurs near the membrane surface, causing vortical flows in liquid electrolyte which enhances the mixing of cations and anions, increases the ion transport efficiency and causes current fluctuations. When the system is under a magnetic field, the Lorentz force generated by the ion movement can significantly change… More >

Abstract The so-called indirect evaporative cooling technology is widely used in air conditioning applications. The thermal characterization of tube-type indirect evaporative coolers, however, still presents challenges which need to be addressed to make this technology more reliable and easy to implement. This experimental study deals with the performances of a tube-type indirect evaporative cooler based on an aluminum tube with a 10 mm diameter. In particular, the required tests were carried out considering a range of dry-bulb temperatures between 16°C and 18°C and a temperature difference between the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature of 2°C∼4°C.

Abstract This work involves a numerical investigation on free convection heat transfer occurred by a hot cylinder immersed in a square duct cooled from one side under different temperatures. Simulations have been done for a large ranges of Rayleigh number (10³ ≤ Ra ≤10⁷ ) and right wall temperature (0≤T_r ≤0.75). The results displayed that Nu is enhanced with rising in Ra and decreasing in T_r. The value of Nu is decreased with rising in T_r, where the maximum reduction in Nu is about 32% for T_r=0.75 as compared to T_r=0. The maximum enhancement range for Nu is found between 50% and 100% More >
