Analytical and numerical investigation of thermal distribution for hybrid nanofluid through an oblique artery with mild stenosis

In this study, the accuracy of three methods to simulate the thermal diffusivity profile in oblique stenosis artery with hybrid nanofluid and the influence of volume fraction and heat sources in the hybrid nanofluid, including Al2O3 and Cu, is studied. Comparing the analytical methods for reliable answers is important in the new studies. Also, the influence of volume fraction and heat source parameter S in temperature evolution is studied. Akbari–Ganji Method (AGM), Finite Element Method (FEM), and Runge–Kutta method are studied to calculate the stenosis artery's heat profile. The results are compared by reference value, AGM is the more accurate method than FEM and Runge–Kutta methods by less than 7 percent error, and FEM is more accurate than Runge–Kutta by less than 9 percent error. The maximum difference between the three methods happened near the wall of the vessel. 0.02, 0.03, and 0.05 is the volume fraction chosen for studying. Changing the volume fraction of nanoparticles is studied by enhancing the volume fraction of Nanoparticles and presenting the Al2O3, and Cu decreases the max temperature profile and increases the heat source by increasing the maximum heat temperature. Al2O3 has more influence on maximum heat temperature and decreases the temperature profile more.

Heat transfer analysis of fractional model of couple stress Casson tri-hybrid nanofluid using dissimilar shape nanoparticles in blood with biomedical applications

During last decades the research of nanofluid is of great interest all over the World, particularly because of its thermal applications in engineering, and biological sciences. Although nanofluid performance is well appreciate and showed good results in the heat transport phenomena, to further improve conventional base fluids thermal performance an increasing number of researchers have started considering structured nanoparticles suspension in one base fluid. As to make an example, when considering the suspension of three different nanoparticles in a single base fluid we have the so called "ternary hybrid nanofluid". In the present study three different shaped nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in blood. In particular, the three different shaped nanoparticles are spherical shaped ferric oxide [Formula: see text], platelet shaped zinc [Formula: see text], and cylindrical shaped gold [Formula: see text], which are considered in blood base fluid because of related advance pharmaceutical applications. Accordingly, we focused our attention on the sharp evaluation of heat transfer for the unsteady couple stress Casson tri-hybrid nanofluid flow in channel. In particular, we formulated the problem via momentum and energy equations in terms of partial differential equations equipped with realistic physical initial and boundary conditions. Moreover, we transformed classical model into their fractional counterparts by applying the Atangana-Baleanu time-fractional operator. Solutions to velocity and temperature equations have been obtained by using both the Laplace and the Fourier transforms, while the effect of physical parameters on velocity and temperature profiles, have been graphically analyzed exploiting MATHCAD. In particular, latter study clearly shows that for higher values of volume fraction [Formula: see text] of the nanoparticles the fluid velocity declines, while the temperature rises for the higher values of volume fraction [Formula: see text] of the nanoparticles. Using blood-based ternary hybrid nanofluid enhances the rate of heat transfer up-to 8.05%, spherical shaped [Formula: see text] enhances up-to 4.63%, platelet shaped [Formula: see text] nanoparticles enhances up-to 8.984% and cylindrical shaped gold [Formula: see text] nanoparticles enhances up-to 10.407%.

Heat Transfer in an Inclined Rectangular Cavity Filled with Hybrid Nanofluid Attached to a Vertical Heated Wall Integrated with PCM: An Experimental Study

In this paper, natural convective heat transfer in a rectangular cavity filled with (50% CuO-50% Al2O3)/water hybrid nanofluids connected to a wall containing a phase change material (PCM) has been experimentally investigated. The vertical walls were heated at varying temperatures while the horizontal walls were kept adiabatic. The considered parameters were the concentration of hybrid nanomaterial (Φ = 0.03, 0.05), the cavity inclination angle (θ = 0°, 30°, 45°), and the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides (∆T = 10, 15, 20 °C). The results have been validated and agree well with previously published papers. Furthermore, the main results stated that when the nanomaterial concentration increased, the heat transfer rate by free convection also increased. By increasing the natural convection flows via high temperature, symmetrical vortexes may appear near the heated wall. It also found that the PCM can potentially reduce the temperature of the hot side by up to 22% due to its high absorbability and heat storage. Furthermore, the inclusion of hybrid nanofluids in addition to the PCM enhanced its efficiency in heat storage and, therefore, its capacity to cool the hot side. Moreover, the influence of the inclination cavity enhanced the heat transfer, where θ = 30° was the optimal angle in terms of thermal conductivity.

The Baffle Length Effects on the Natural Convection in Nanofluid-Filled Square Enclosure with Sinusoidal Temperature

The proper process of applying heat to many technological devices is a significant challenge. There are many nanofluids of different sizes used inside the system. The current study combines this potential to improve convection effects, considering numerical simulations of natural convection using Cu/water nanofluids in a square enclosure with bottom blocks embedded in baffles. The enclosure consists of two vertical walls with isothermal boundary conditions; the left wall is the sinusoidal heat source, whereas the right wall is cooled. The investigations dealt with the influences of nanoparticle concentration, Rayleigh number, baffle length, and thermal conductivity ratioon isotherms, stream functions, and average Nusselt number. The results present that, when the Rayleigh number rises, the fluid flow velocity increases, and the heat transfer improves. Furthermore, the baffle length case (L_b = 0.3) provides higher heat transfer characteristics than other baffle height cases.
