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 effect of amplitude of the… 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. According to the findings, the addition… More >

Abstract Present investigation aims at scrutinizing the properties of heat and mass transfer phenomena of liquid thin film of Casson Nano fluid over elongated sheet under the influence of thermophorosis and Brownian motion. Casson Nano particle effect on thermophorotic force and on Brownian force is studied. Variables of similarity were induced to transmute partial differential equations into dimensionless equations and are resolved numerically by elegant method bvp 4c. Thin film thickness is calculated using MATHEMATICA for different values of critical parameters. Velocity profiles diminishes for higher values of Casson parameter and magnetic field parameter. The temperature escalates for higher values of… More >

Abstract In this research, a numerical study of mixed convection of non-Newtonian fluid and magnetic field effect along a vertical wavy surface was investigated. A simple coordinate transformation to transform wavy surface to a flat surface is employed. A cubic spline collocation numerical method is employed to analyze transformed equations. The effect of various parameters such as Reynolds number, volume fraction 0-, Hartmann number, and amplitude of wave length was evaluated in improving the performance of a wavy microchannel. According to the presented results, the sinusoidal shape of the microchannel has a direct impact on heat transfer. By increasing the microchannel… More >

Abstract This article aims to investigate the Darcy Forchhemier mixed convection flow of the hybrid nanofluid through an inclined extending cylinder. Two different nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and iron oxide Fe₃O₄ have been added to the base fluid in order to prepare a hybrid nanofluid. Nonlinear partial differential equations for momentum, energy and convective diffusion have been changed into dimensionless ordinary differential equations after using Von Karman approach. Homotopy analysis method (HAM), a powerful analytical approach has been used to find the solution to the given problem. The effects of the physical constraints on velocity, concentration and temperature profile… More >

Abstract The dynamic thermal history of storage product system is related to the insulation and also to the inertia. Use a new porous media doped with nanofluid PCM to improve the system efficiency. The analysis of the porous sponge thickness with 8 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm, the integrated nanofluids with 0.1%, 0.15% and 0.2%, the mass of the PCM and the initial temperature of the stored product with -1°C, 4°C, 12°C is achieved in order to underline the advantages of the new saturated porous media (sponges) with the phase change material (PCM) /Al₂O₃-H₂O nanofluid. The carrots are used as… More >

Abstract Flow passages in micro/nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS/ -NEMS) usually have complicated geometries. The present study thus discusses on the latest lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) for micro/nano fluidics to evaluate their applicability to micro/nano-flows in complex geometries. Since the flow regime is the continuum to the slip and transitional regime with a moderate Knudsen number (Kn), the LBMs presently focused on feature the wall boundary treatment and the relaxation-time for modeling such flow regimes. The discussed micro flow (µ-flow) LBMs are based on the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model and the multiple relaxation-time (MRT) model. The presently chosen µ-flow BGK LBM (BGK-1 model) consists… More >
