An experimental investigation was carried out to study mixed convection heat transfer from Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a vertical, W-shaped, copper-tube with uniform wall temperature. The tests covered different ranges of some involved parameters including Reynolds number, temperature and particles volume fraction. The results showed that the rate of heat transfer coefficient improved with Rey...

Several materials, such as aluminum and copper, exhibit non-Newtonian rheological behaviors. Aluminum copper nanoparticles are ideal for wiring power grids, including overhead transmission lines local distribution lines, because they provide a better conductivity-to-weight ratio than bulk copper; also some of the most common materials used in electrical applications. Therefore, current investig...

in the present research mixed convection flow through a copper-water nanofluid in a driven cavity in the presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically. the cavity is heated from top and cooled from bottom while its two vertical walls are insulated. the governing equations including continuity, n-s and energy equations are solved over a staggered grid system. the study is conducted for ...

This study investigated a simple model of transformers that have liquid magnetic cores with different concentrations of ferro-nanofluids. The simple model was built on a capillary by enamel-insulated wires and with ferro-nanofluid loaded in the capillary. The ferro-nanofluid was fabricated by a chemical co-precipitation method. The performances of the transformers with either air core or ferro-...

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of slip mechanisms in nanofluids through scaling analysis. The role of nanoparticle slip mechanisms in both water- and ethylene glycol-based nanofluids is analyzed by considering shape, size, concentration, and temperature of the nanoparticles. From the scaling analysis, it is found that all of the slip mechanisms are dominant in ...

The present analysis is focused on free convective heat and mass transfer characteristics of magneto-nanofluid flow through a moving vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation and thermal diffusion. The water-based nanofluid containing copper is taken into consideration. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plate. The governing equations are solved by applying finit...

The unsteady natural convection heat transfer of nanofluid along a vertical plate embedded in porous medium is investigated. The Darcy-Forchheimer model is used to formulate the problem. Thermal conductivity and viscosity models based on a wide range of experimental data of nanofluids and incorporating the velocity-slip effect of the nanoparticle with respect to the base fluid, i.e., Brownian d...

This paper addresses entropy generation in the flow of an electrically-conducting couple stress nanofluid through a vertical porous channel subjected to constant heat flux. By using the Buongiorno model, equations for momentum, energy, and nanofluid concentration are modelled, solved using homotopy analysis and furthermore, solved numerically.
