One of the preconditions of biomedical use of iron oxide nanoparticles including magnetite is their stabilization in liquid medium, wherein the covering substances largely determine pharmacological activity and toxicity of such nanoparticles. we obtained nanofluid that contains magnetite nanoparticles stabilized with 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate (Mexidol) and polyvinyl pyrrolido...

The slip-flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian nanofluid in a microtube is theoretically studied. The power-law rheology is adopted to describe the non-Newtonian characteristics of the flow, in which the fluid consistency coefficient and the flow behavior index depend on the nanoparticle volume fraction. The velocity profile, volumetric flow rate and local Nusselt number are calculated for ...

in the present study, computational fluid dynamics (cfd) techniques and artificial neural networks (ann) are used to predict the pressure drop value (δp ) of al2o3-water nanofluid in flat tubes. δp  is predicted taking into account five input variables: tube flattening (h), inlet volumetric flow rate (qi  ), wall heat flux (qnw  ), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ) and nanoparticle diameter (dp ...

mhd boundary layer flow of two phase model nanofluid over a vertical plate is investigated both analytically and numerically. a system of governing nonlinear partial differential equations is converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity transformations and then solved analytically using homotopy analysis method and numerically by the fourth order rung...

A new hybrid cooling scheme is proposed for high-flux thermal management of electronic and power devices. This scheme combines the cooling benefits of micro-channel flow and micro-jet impingement with those of indirect refrigeration cooling. Experiments were performed to assess single-phase cooling performance using HFE 7100 as working fluid. Excellent predictions were achieved using the standa...

Abstract Hybrid nanofluids, which are formed by dispersing two solid materials in a conventional fluid, have recently attracted the attention of researchers as they able to improve thermal properties. The present article, therefore, conducts numerical analysis investigate heat transfer magnetohydrodynamic three-dimensional flow magnetic nanofluid (ferrofluid) across bidirectional exponentially ...

An engineered fluid, called nanofluid, is expected to have better thermal conductivity than conventional working fluids. The superior heat transfer performance and various possible applications promote the analysis of nanofluids in different flow geometries. This paper studies non-Newtonian Burgers’ over a permeable stretching/shrinking surface with source/sink. In current study, we highlight u...
