This study intends to semi-analytically investigate the steady 3D boundary layer flow of a SiC-TiO2/DO hybrid nanofluid over a porous spinning disk subject to a constant vertical magnetic field. Here, the novel attitude to single-phase hybrid nanofluid model corresponds to considering nanoparticles and base fluid masses to compute solid equivalent volume fraction, solid equivalent de...

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...

Numerical simulation and experimental investigation were used for study of laminar forced convective heat transfer of Al2O3/water nanofluid. Single phase model with temperaturedependent properties was employed for numerical simulation of transport phenomena in nanofluid. The results of experiments and computer-aided simulation indicated remarkable enhancement of convective heat transfer of base...

Hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) have received the prominent attention of researchers due to their improved thermophysical properties than conventional liquids and single-phase nanofluids. Such high potential heat transfer fluids are obtained from suspension two or more dissimilar nanoparticles in a regular liquid. Owing hybrid nanofluid, these widely used industrial processes, manufacturing biomedical...

Single and multi-phase numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the heat transfer and entropy generation behaviour of transitional flow of TiO2 H2O nanofluid in a circular pipe. Results reveal that the small diameter of nanoparticles has the highest heat transfer rate for χ = 6% and the TiO2-water nanofluid shows higher heat transfer rate using multi-phase model compared to that of ...

An overview of systematic studies that address the complexity of nanofluid systems and advance the understanding of nanoscale contributions to viscosity, thermal conductivity, and cooling efficiency of nanofluids is presented. A nanoparticle suspension is considered as a three-phase system including the solid phase (nanoparticles), the liquid phase (fluid media), and the interfacial phase, whic...

A two-phase flow experiment using air and water-based γ-Al2O3 nanofluid was conducted to observe the basic hydraulic phenomenon of nanofluids. The local two-phase flow parameters were measured with a conductivity double-sensor two-phase void meter. The void fraction, interfacial velocity, interfacial area concentration, and mean bubble diameter were evaluated, and all of those results using the...
