AbstractA numerical study on heat transfer and entropy generation in natural convection of non-Newtonian nanofluid flow has been explored within a differentially heated two-dimensional wavy porous cavity. In the present study, copper (Cu)–water nanofluid is considered for the investigation where the specific behavior of Cu nanoparticles in water is considered to behave as non-Newtonian based on previously established experimental results. The power-law model and the Brinkman-extended Darcy model has been used to characterize the non-Newtonian porous medium. The governing equations of the flow are solved using the finite volume method with the collocated grid arrangement. Numerical results are presented through streamlines, isotherms, local Nusselt number and entropy generation rate to study the effects of a range of Darcy number (Da), volume fractions (ϕ) of nanofluids, Rayleigh numbers (Ra), and the power-law index (n). Results show that the rate of heat transfer from the wavy wall to the medium becomes enhanced by decreasing the power-law index but increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles. Increase of porosity level and buoyancy forces of the medium augments flow strength and results in a thinner boundary layer within the cavity. At negligible porosity level of the enclosure, effect of volume fraction of nanoparticles over thermal conductivity of the nanofluids is imperceptible. Interestingly, when the Darcy–Rayleigh number $$Ra^*\gg 10$$ R a ∗ ≫ 10 , the power-law effect becomes more significant than the volume fraction effect in the augmentation of the convective heat transfer process. The local entropy generation is highly dominated by heat transfer irreversibility within the porous enclosure for all conditions of the flow medium. The particular wavy shape of the cavity strongly influences the heat transfer flow pattern and local entropy generation. Interestingly, contour graphs of local entropy generation and local Bejan number show a rotationally symmetric pattern of order two about the center of the wavy cavity.

Local Entropy Generation

In this article, we perform an entropy generation analysis for the micro channel heat sink applications where the flow of fluid is actuated by combined influences of applied pressure gradient and electric field under electrical double layer phenomenon. The upper and lower walls of the channels are kept at different constant temperatures. The temperature-dependent viscosity of the fluid is considered and hence the momentum equation and energy equations are coupled in this study. Also, a hydrodynamic slip condition is employed on the viscous dissipation. For complete analysis of the entropy generation, we use a perturbation approach with lubrication approximation. In this study, we discuss the results depicting variations in the velocity and temperature distributions and their effect on local entropy generation rate and Bejan number in the system. It can be summarized from this analysis that the enhanced velocity gradients in the flow field due to combined effect of temperature-dependent viscosity and Joule heating and viscous dissipative effects, leads to an enhancement in the local entropy generation rate in the system.

Local Entropy Generation

Losses in a flow field due to single conduit components often are characterized by experimentally determined head loss coefficients K. These coefficients are defined and determined with the pressure as the critical quantity. A thermodynamic definition, given here as an alternative, is closer to the physics of flow losses, however. This definition is based upon the dissipation of mechanical energy as main quantity. With the second law of thermodynamics this dissipation can be linked to the local entropy generation in the flow field. For various conduit components K values are determined and physically interpreted by determining the entropy generation in the component as well as upstream and downstream of it. It turns out that most of the losses occur downstream of the components what carefully has to be taken into account when several components are combined in a flow network.

Local Entropy Generation

This paper is focused on the entropy generation due to heat transfer and viscous flow in natural convection of water near its density maximum in a square cavity. The present hydrodynamic and temperature fields are obtained by solving numerically the mass, momentum and energy balance equations, using the finite difference method. Local entropy generation distributions are obtained based on the resulting velocity and temperature fields by solving the entropy generation equation. The effect of the Grashof numbers on the total entropy generation is studied. Local entropy generation distribution was found to be dependent on the Grashof number and the dimensionless initial temperature. The results also show that thermal entropy generation is relatively dominant over viscous entropy generation.
