In the present study, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a nanofluid in an expanding or contracting porous channel with different permeabilities in presence of thermal radiation are investigated. Analytical solutions for the flow variables are obtained by employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). Maxwell-Garnetts and Brinkman models are considered to calculate the thermal conductivit...

the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

Heat transfer in a symmetrical cavity with two semi-cylinders was explored this study. Several parameters, such as (103?Ra?106), (10?5?Da?10?2), (0.02???0.08), (0.2???0.8), and (0?Ha?100) were selected evaluated research. The outcome of the magnetic field temperature gradient on nanofluid flow is considered. geometric model therefore described using symmetry technique. issue for governing equat...

Nanofluids are engineered colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in water, and exhibit a very significant enhancement (up to 200%) of the boiling Critical Heat Flux (CHF) at modest nanoparticle concentrations (50.1% by volume). Since CHF is the upper limit of nucleate boiling, such enhancement offers the potential for major performance improvement in many practical applications that use nucleat...

The amelioration of photovoltaic (PV) and photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems have garnered increased research interest lately, more so due to the discovery thermal property augmentation nanofluids. overarching goal this study is conduct a comparative analysis mono, hybrid, ternary hybrid nanofluids utilized as fluids for heat transfer applications particularly cooling mediums in PV/T applicati...

The present study investigated the effect of distilled-water/ silver nanofluid on heat transfer in a closed cooling system of one of the electrical energy generation units at Isfahan power plant. The difference between this study and previous researches refers to silver properties which have a high thermal conductivity and is non-toxic, hydrophilic and eco-friendly. Distilled water/ silver ...

In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted on the rheological behavior of Water (80%) and Ethylene-glycol (20%) in presence of Al2O3-MWCNTs hybrid nanomaterials. For this purpose, nanofluid samples were prepared by suspending the nanomaterials in a mixture of water and EG with solid volume fractions of 0.0625%, 0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5% Viscosity measurements were performed at various...

Present study explores the MHD three-dimensional rotating flow and heat transfer of ferrofluid induced by a radiative surface. The base fluid is considered as water with magnetite-Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Novel concept of non-linear radiative heat flux is considered which produces a non-linear energy equation in temperature field. Conventional transformations are employed to obtain the self-similar...

Eulerian-Eulerian multi-phase mixture model is applied to numerically analyse the turbulent flow and heat transfer behaviours of water based Al2O3 and TiO2 nanofluids in a pipe. The main goal of the present work is to investigate the effects of volume concentrations, Brownian motion and size diameter of nanoparticles on the flow and heat transfer. Analysis of entropy generation is presented in ...
