It is necessary to control the temperature of solar cells for enhancing efficiency with increasing concentrations of multiple photovoltaic systems. A heterogeneous two-phase model was established after considering the interacting between temperature, viscosity, the flow of nanofluid, and the motion of nanoparticles in the nanofluid, in order to study the microchannel heat sink (MCHS) using Al2O...

Transformer insulating oil nanofluid is made to improve dielectric and thermal properties of the oil by employing nanoparticles with proper properties. In the current work, nanofluids based on transformer mineral oil were prepared by three procedures using diamond nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity, as well as high dielectric properties. It was tried to consider the impacts of surfact...

Ferrofluid is a one-of-a-kind substance that functions both as magnetic solid and liquid. In this article, water-based Fe3O4 Mn–ZnFe2O4 nanofluids between parallel stretchable spinning discs are considered. To carry out the study, influence of rotational viscosity in flow, which due to difference rotation fluid particles, applied field examined. Additional impacts incorporated novelty model var...

Nowadays, microchannels as closed circuits channels for fluid flow and heat removal are an integral part of the silicon-based electronic microsystems. Most of previous numerical studies on microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) have been performed for a two-dimensional domain using constant properties of the working fluid. In this study, laminar fluid flow and heat transfer of variable properties Al2O3...

Navier-Stokes energy equations are solved for single-phase total mass ...

Laminar mixed convection of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. Constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. All the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient, except density in the bo...

Heat transfer plays an important role in the handling and processing of non-Newtonian nanofluids. In this paper, the fully developed flowof an incompressible, thermodynamically compatible non-Newtonian third-grade nanofluid in coaxial cylinders is studied. Two illustrative models of variable viscosity, namely (i) Reynolds’ model and (ii) Vogel’s model, are considered. Analytic solutions of velo...

Abstract—Heat transfer due to forced convection of copper water based nanofluid has been predicted by Artificial Neural network (ANN). The present nanofluid is formed by mixing copper nanoparticles in water and the volume fractions are considered here are 0% to 15% and the Reynolds number are kept constant at 100. The back propagation algorithm is used to train the network. The present ANN is t...
