Double-diffusion convective biomimetic flow of nanofluid in a complex divergent porous wavy medium under magnetic effects

Thermal mechanism in magneto radiated [(Al2O3-Fe3O4)/blood]hnf over a 3D surface: Applications in Biomedical Engineering

Nanofluids are a new generation of fluids which help in improving the efficiency of thermal systems by improving heat transport rate and extensive applications of this class extensively fall in biomedical engineering, the electronics industry, applied thermal and mechanical engineering, etc. The core concern of this study is to examine the interaction of Al₂O₃-Fe₃O₄ hybrid nanoparticles of lamina shaped with blood over a 3D surface by impinging novel impacts of non-linear thermal radiations, stretching, velocity slippage, and magnetic field. This leads to a mathematical flow model in terms of highly non-linear differential equations via nanofluid-effective characteristics and similarity rules. To know the actual behavior of (Al₂O₃-Fe₃O₄)/blood inside the concerned region, mathematical investigation is performed via numerical technique and the results are obtained for different parameter ranges. The imposed magnetic field of high strength is a better tool to control the motion of (Al₂O₃-Fe₃O₄)/blood inside the boundary layer, whereas, stretching of the surface is in direct proportion of the fluid movement. Furthermore, thermal radiations (Rd) and γ1 are observed to be beneficial for thermal enhancement for both (Al₂O₃-Fe₃O₄)/blood and (Al₂O₃)/blood.

Performance improvement and thermodynamic assessment of microchannel heat sink with different types of ribs and cones

The present study aims to investigate the performance of microchannel heat sink via numerical simulations, based on the first and second law of thermodynamics. The heat transfer and flow characteristics of rectangular microchannel heat sinks have been improved by adding six different types of surface enhancers. The cross-sections include rectangular, triangular, and hexagonal-shaped ribs and cones. The cones have been created from the same cross-sections of ribs by drafting them at an angle of 45° orthogonal to the base, which is expected to decrease the pressure drop, dramatically. The performance of ribs and cones has been evaluated using different parameters such as friction factor, wall shear stress, entropy generation rate, augmentation entropy generation number, thermal resistance, and transport efficiency of thermal energy. The results of the present study revealed that the novel effect of coning at an angle of 45° reduces frictional losses (Maximum pressure drop reduced is 85%), however; a compromise on thermal behavior has been shown (Maximum Nusselt number reduced is 25%). Similarly, the application of coning has caused a significant reduction in wall shear stress and friction factor which can lead to reducing the pumping power requirements. Moreover, triangular ribs have more ability to transfer thermal energy than rectangular and hexagonal ribs. Furthermore, it has been examined in the present study that the trend of total entropy generation rate for triangular ribs decreases up to Re = 400 and then increases onwards which means that thermal losses are more significant than frictional losses at lower Reynolds number. However, frictional losses dominate over thermal losses at higher Reynolds numbers, where vortex generation takes place, especially in triangular ribs.

Heat flow saturate of Ag/MgO-water hybrid nanofluid in heated trigonal enclosure with rotate cylindrical cavity by using Galerkin finite element

MHD Natural convection, which is one of the principal types of convective heat transfer in numerous research of heat exchangers and geothermal energy systems, as well as nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids. This work focuses on the investigation of Natural convective heat transfer evaluation inside a porous triangular cavity filled with silver-magnesium oxide/water hybrid nanofluid [H₂O/Ag-MgO]^hnf under a consistent magnetic field. The laminar and incompressible nanofluid flow is taken to account while Darcy-Forchheimer model takes account of the advection inertia effect in the porous sheet. Controlled equations of the work have been approached nondimensional and resolved by Galerkin finite element technique. The numerical analyses were carried out by varying the Darcy, Hartmann, and Rayleigh numbers, porosity, and characteristics of solid volume fraction and flow fields. Further, the findings are reported in streamlines, isotherms and Nusselt numbers. For this work, the parametric impact may be categorized into two groups. One of them has an effect on the structural factors such as triangular form and scale on the physical characteristics of the important outputs such as fluidity and thermal transfer rates. The significant findings are the parameters like Rayleigh and slightly supported by Hartmann along with Darcy number, minimally assists by solid-particle size and rotating factor as clockwise assists the cooler flow at the center and anticlockwise direction assists the warmer flow. Clear raise in heat transporting rate can be obtained for increasing solid-particle size.
