In the present study, an experimental study is carried out to investigate the effect of adding Al and Cu nanoparticles to the base fluid (water) on the heat transfer rate in a spirally coiled tube. The spirally coiled tube is fabricated from the straight copper tube with the inner and outer coil diameters of 100 and 420 mm, respectively. The experiments have been done for water and two types of...

A mathematical model for viscoelastic nanofluid flow approaching a linear horizontal circular cylinder in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) has been developed. In the analysis, with constant heat flux is shown magnetic field. this research, we employed Tiwari and Das Nanofluid to learn more about impacts of nanofluids, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose containing copper (Cu) nanoparticles was used as bas...

The steady two-dimensional flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid is investigated using Buongiorno's nanofluid model. Different from the previously published papers, in the present study we consider the case when the nanofluid particle fraction on the boundary is passively rather than actively controlled, which make the model more physically realistic. The gover...

This paper presents a linear stability analysis of natural convection in a horizontal layer of a viscoelastic nanofluid. The Oldroyd B model was utilized to describe the rheological behavior of a viscoelastic nanofluid. The model used for the nanofluid incorporated the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The onset criterion for stationary and oscillatory convection was derived analyt...

One of the preconditions of biomedical use of iron oxide nanoparticles including magnetite is their stabilization in liquid medium, wherein the covering substances largely determine pharmacological activity and toxicity of such nanoparticles. we obtained nanofluid that contains magnetite nanoparticles stabilized with 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate (Mexidol) and polyvinyl pyrrolido...

The slip-flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian nanofluid in a microtube is theoretically studied. The power-law rheology is adopted to describe the non-Newtonian characteristics of the flow, in which the fluid consistency coefficient and the flow behavior index depend on the nanoparticle volume fraction. The velocity profile, volumetric flow rate and local Nusselt number are calculated for ...

The objective of the study is to investigate thermal, electrical, and exergetic performance a hybrid photovoltaic–thermal (PVT) system under influence copper oxide (CuO) nanofluid phase change material (Vaseline (petroleum jelly)) as heat storage medium. A mathematical model was developed with help various energy-balance equations over layers system. evaluation PVT performed using pure water, C...

Recent advancements in nanotechnology have originated the new emerging heat transfer fluids called nanofluids. Nanofluids are prepared by dispersing and stably suspending nanometer sized solid particles in conventional heat transfer fluids. Past researches have shown that a very small amount of suspending nanoparticles have the potential to enhance the thermo physical, transport and radiative p...

The problem of a steady boundary layer shear flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a nanofluid is studied numerically. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically by a Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. Two types of nanofluids, namely, Cu-water and Ag-wa...
