Steady, laminar, incompressible and two-dimensional flow of a micropolar fluid between two porous coaxial disks is considered. To describe the working fluid, we use the micropolar model given by Eringen. The governing equations of motion are reduced to a set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations using Berman’s similarity transformation. The SOR iterative method is used to solve ...

Output performance of a thermoelectric-based automotive waste heat recovery system with a nanofluid coolant is analyzed in this study. Comparison between Cu-Ethylene glycol (Cu-EG) nanofluid coolant and ethylene glycol with water (EG-W) coolant under equal mass flow rate indicates that Cu-EG nanofluid as a coolant can effectively improve power output and thermoelectric conversion efficiency for...

In this paper, a new theory of generalized micropolar thermoelasticity is derived by using fractional calculus. The generalized heat conduction equation in micropolar thermoelasticity has been modified with two distinct temperatures, conductive temperature and thermodynamic temperature by fractional calculus which depends upon the idea of the RiemannLiouville fractional integral operators. A un...

An analysis is discussed of the heat and mass transfer for micropolar nanofluid in presence natural convection from a spherical body with magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) effects. The constant wall temperature boundary condition also studied. By employing proper similarity transformations, governing equations are converted into set partial differential (PDEs) used conditions, which can then be solved...

Presently, the scientists across world are carrying out theoretical as well experimental examinations for describing importance of nanofluid in heat transfer phenomena. Such fluids can be obtained by suspending nanoparticles base fluid. Experimentally, it has proved that thermal characteristics much better and appealing compared to traditional The current work investigates flow blood comprises ...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of adding a stabilizer on the dynamic thermal properties of ZnO nanofluid (containing 5 to 10 nm diameter of ZnO nanocrystals) measured using a 3ω method. Addition of the stabilizer leads to the stabilization of the nanofluid and also substantial reduction of the enhancement of thermal transport compared to that seen in the bare ZnO nanofluid. This also ...
