Study of hybrid nanofluid flow in a stationary cone-disk system with temperature-dependent fluid properties

Cone-disk systems find frequent use such as conical diffusers,medical devices,various rheometric,and viscosimetry applications.In this study,we investigate the three-dimensional flow of a water-based Ag-Mg O hybrid nanofluid in a static cone-disk system while considering temperature-dependent fluid properties.How the variable fluid properties affect the dynamics and heat transfer features is studied by Reynolds's linearized model for variable viscosity and Chiam's model for variable thermal conductivity.The single-phase nanofluid model is utilized to describe convective heat transfer in hybrid nanofluids,incorporating the experimental data.This model is developed as a coupled system of convective-diffusion equations,encompassing the conservation of momentum and the conservation of thermal energy,in conjunction with an incompressibility condition.A self-similar model is developed by the Lie-group scaling transformations,and the subsequent self-similar equations are then solved numerically.The influence of variable fluid parameters on both swirling and non-swirling flow cases is analyzed.Additionally,the Nusselt number for the disk surface is calculated.It is found that an increase in the temperature-dependent viscosity parameter enhances heat transfer characteristics in the static cone-disk system,while the thermal conductivity parameter has the opposite effect.

Computational Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer in Magnetized Darcy-Forchheimer Hybrid Nanofluid Flow with Porous Medium and Slip Effects

A computational analysis of magnetized hybrid Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid flow across a flat surface is presented in this work.For the study of heat and mass transfer aspects viscous dissipation,activation energy,Joule heating,thermal radiation,and heat generation effects are considered.The suspension of nanoparticles singlewalled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs)are created by hybrid nanofluids.However,single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)produce nanofluids,with water acting as conventional fluid,respectively.Nonlinear partial differential equations(PDEs)that describe the ultimate flow are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations(ODEs)using appropriate similarity transformation.The ODEs are dealt with numerically by means of MATLAB’s inbuilt routine function bvp4c.Velocity,temperature,and concentration profiles are explained pictorially whereas Sherwood number,local skin friction coefficient,and Nusselt number values are represented through bar charts.Thermal radiation and activation parameters shows direct impact on flow field.Furthermore,hybrid nanofluid admits a higher magnitude of velocity and temperature than nanofluid,but the concentration profile exhibits the opposite trend.The notable findings of the present investigation have significant applications in heat combustion and cooling chambers,space technology,the ceramics industry,paint and conductive coatings,bio-sensors,and many more.

Experimental Performance Evaluation and Artificial-Neural-Network Modeling of ZnO-CuO/EG-W Hybrid Nanofluids

The thermo-physical properties of nanofluids are highly dependent on the used base fluid.This study explores the influence of the mixing ratio on the thermal conductivity and viscosity of ZnO-CuO/EG(ethylene glycol)-W(water)hybrid nanofluids with mass concentration and temperatures in the ranges 1-5 wt.%and 25-60
C,respectively.The characteristics and stability of these mixtures were estimated by TEM(transmission electron microscopy),visual observation,and absorbance tests.The results show that 120 min of sonication and the addition of PVP(polyvinyl pyrrolidone)surfactant can prevent sedimentation for a period reaching up to 20 days.The increase of EG(ethylene glycol)in the base fluid leads to low thermal conductivity and high viscosity.Thermal conductivity enhancement(TCE)decreases from 21.52%to 11.7%when EG:W is changed from 20:80 to 80:20 at 1 wt.%and 60

The non-Newtonian fluid model reflects the behavior of the fluid flow in global manufacturing progress and increases product performance.Therefore,the present work strives to analyze the unsteady Maxwell hybrid nanofluid toward a stretching/shrinking surface with thermal radiation effect and heat transfer.The partial derivatives of the multivariable differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations in a specified form by applying appropriate transformations.The resulting mathematical model is clarified by utilizing the bvp4c technique.Different control parameters are investigated to see how they affect the outcomes.The results reveal that the skin friction coefficient increases by adding nanoparticles and suction parameters.The inclusion of the Maxwell parameter and thermal radiation effect both show a declining tendency in the local Nusselt number,and as a result,the thermal flow efficacy is reduced.The reduction of the unsteadiness characteristic,on the other hand,considerably promotes the improvement of heat transfer performance.The existence of more than one solution is proven,and this invariably leads to an analysis of solution stability,which validates the first solution viability.

Influences of Marangoni convection and variable magnetic field on hybrid nanofluid thin-film flow past a stretching surface

Investigations on thin-film flow play a vital role in the field of optoelectronics and magnetic devices.Thin films are reasonably hard and thermally stable but quite fragile.The thermal stability of a thin film can be further improved by incorporating the effects of nanoparticles.In the current work,a stretchable surface is considered upon which hybrid nanofluid thin-film flow is taken into account.The idea of augmenting heat transmission by making use of a hybrid nanofluid is a focus of the current work.The flow is affected by variations in the viscous forces,along with viscous dissipation effects and Marangoni convection.A time-constrained magnetic field is applied in the normal direction to the flow system.The equations governing the flow system are shifted to a non-dimensional form by applying similarity variables.The homotopy analysis method is employed to find the solution to the resultant equations.It is noticed in this study that the flow characteristics decline with augmentation of magnetic,viscosity and unsteadiness parameters while they increase with enhanced values of thin-film parameters.Thermal characteristics are supported by increasing values of the Eckert number and the unsteadiness parameter and opposed by the viscosity parameter and Prandtl number.The numerical impact of different emerging parameters upon skin friction and the Nusselt number is calculated in tabular form.A comparison of current work with established results is carried out,with good agreement.

Hybrid Nanofluid Flow with Homogeneous-Heterogeneous Reactions

This study examines the stagnation point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a hybrid nanofluid with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions.The hybrid nanofluid consists of copper(Cu)and alumina(Al2O3)nanoparticles which are added into water to form Cu-Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid.The similarity equations are obtained using a similarity transformation.Then,the function bvp4c in MATLAB is utilised to obtain the numerical results.The dual solutions are found for limited values of the stretching/shrinking parameter.Also,the turning point arises in the shrinking region(λ<0).Besides,the presence of hybrid nanoparticles enhances the heat transfer rate,skin friction coefficient,and the concentration gradient.In addition,the concentration gradient is intensified with the heterogeneous reaction but the effect is opposite for the homogeneous reaction.Furthermore,the velocity and the concentration increase,whereas the temperature decreases for higher compositions of hybrid nanoparticles.Moreover,the concentration decreases for larger values of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions.It is consistent with the fact that higher reaction rate cause a reduction in the rate of diffusion.However,the velocity and the temperature are not affected by these parameters.From these observations,it can be concluded that the effect of the homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions is dominant on the concentration profiles.Two solutions are obtained for a single value of parameter.The temporal stability analysis shows that only one of these solutions is stable and thus physically reliable over time.
