The Impact

Recently, various ways are investigated to augment heat transfer in different applications such as porous ceramic domain. Adding nanoparticles to fluid is the best operational way to increase the conduction of fluids. In this paper, migration of nanofluid inside a porous duct under the impact of magnetic force is scrutinized. LBM is applied to present comprehensive parametric analysis for various concentrations of nanofluid, Hartmann, Reynolds, and Darcy numbers. Outputs illustrate that Nu augments with improve of Lorentz forces. Augmenting Da significantly enhances the convective flow in our model.

The Impact

The micropolar nanofluids are the potential liquids that enhance the thermophysical features and ability of heat transportation instead of base liquids. Alumina and Titania nanoparticles are mixed in a micropolar fluid. The impact of convective boundary condition is also examined with assisting and opposing flows of both nanofluids. The main objective of this study is to investigate mixed convective flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids across a cylinder in a saturated porous medium. Non-similar variables are used to make the governing equations dimensionless. The local similar and non-similar solutions are obtained by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method of seventh order. The impacts of various embedded variables on the flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids are investigated and interpreted graphically. It is demonstrated that the skin friction and heat transfer rates depend on solid volume fraction of nanoparticles, Biot number, mixed convection, and material parameters.

A numerical study is presented for the thermo-free convection inside a cavity with vertical corrugated walls consisting of a solid part of fixed thickness, a part of porous media filled with a nanofluid, and a third part filled with a nanofluid. Alumina nanoparticle water-based nanofluid is used as a working fluid. The cavity’s wavy vertical surfaces are subjected to various temperature values, hot to the left and cold to the right. In order to generate a free-convective flow, the horizontal walls are kept adiabatic. For the porous medium, the Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium (LTNE) model is used. The method of solving the problem’s governing equations is the Galerkin weighted residual finite elements method. The results report the impact of the active parameters on the thermo-free convective flow and heat transfer features. The obtained results show that the high Darcy number and the porous media’s low modified thermal conductivity ratio have important roles for the local thermal non-equilibrium effects. The heat transfer rates through the nanofluid and solid phases are found to be better for high values of the undulation amplitude, the Darcy number, and the volume fraction of the nanofluid, while a limit in the increase of heat transfer rate through the solid phase with the modified thermal ratio is found, particularly for high values of porosity. Furthermore, as the porosity rises, the nanofluid and solid phases’ heat transfer rates decline for low Darcy numbers and increase for high Darcy numbers.

Exchanger Tube

The current study experimentally investigates the heat transfer augmentation on the novel axial corrugated heat exchanger tube in which the spring tape is introduced. Air (Pr = 0.707) is used as a working fluid. In order to augment the thermohydraulic performance, a corrugated tube with inserts is offered. The experimental study is further extended by varying the important parameters like spring ratio (y = 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) and Reynolds number (Re = 10 000–52 000). The angular pitch between the two neighboring corrugations and the angle of the corrugation is kept constant through the experiments at β = 1200 and α = 600 respectively, while two different corrugations heights (h) are analyzed. While increasing the corrugation height and decreasing the spring ratio, the impact of the swirling effect improves the thermal performance of the system. The maximum thermal performance is obtained when the corrugation height is h = 0.2 and spring ratio y = 1.5. Eventually, correlations for predicting friction factor (f) and Nusselt number (Nu) are developed.

This paper analyses the two-dimensional unsteady and incompressible flow of a non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid over a stretching surface. The nanofluid formulated in the present study is TiO2 + Ag + blood, and TiO2 + blood, where in this combination TiO2 + blood is the base fluid and TiO2 + Ag + blood represents the hybrid nanofluid. The aim of the present research work is to improve the heat transfer ratio because the heat transfer ratio of the hybrid nanofluid is higher than that of the base fluid. The novelty of the recent work is the approximate analytical analysis of the magnetohydrodynamics mixed non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid over a stretching surface. This type of combination, where TiO2+blood is the base fluid and TiO2 + Ag + blood is the hybrid nanofluid, is studied for the first time in the literature. The fundamental partial differential equations are transformed to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the guide of some appropriate similarity transformations. The analytical approximate method, namely the optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM), is used for the approximate analytical solution. The convergence of the OHAM for particular problems is also discussed. The impact of the magnetic parameter, dynamic viscosity parameter, stretching surface parameter and Prandtl number is interpreted through graphs. The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are explained in table form. The present work is found to be in very good agreement with those published earlier.

The Impact

Micro heat exchangers have been revealed to be efficient devices for improved heat transfer due to short heat transfer distances and increased surface-to-volume ratios. Further augmentation of the heat transfer behaviour within microstructured devices can be achieved with heat transfer enhancement techniques, and more precisely for this study, with passive enhancement techniques. Pin fin geometries influence the flow path and, therefore, were chosen as the option for further improvement of the heat transfer performance. The augmentation of heat transfer with micro heat exchangers was performed with the consideration of an improved heat transfer behaviour, and with additional pressure losses due to the change of flow path (pin fin geometries). To capture the impact of the heat transfer, as well as the impact of additional pressure losses, an assessment method should be considered. The overall exergy loss method can be applied to micro heat exchangers, and serves as a simple assessment for characterization. Experimental investigations with micro heat exchanger structures were performed to evaluate the assessment method and its importance. The heat transfer enhancement was experimentally investigated with microstructured pin fin geometries to understand the impact on pressure loss behaviour with air.
