Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are now widely used because of their synthesis compatibility and less toxicity in several biomedical applications such as cancer treatment. From the fluid mechanics point of view, we examine the behavior of a mixture of gold and Titanium Oxide nanoparticles, which suspended in the blood as a base fluid in the diseased coronary artery. The main goal of this paper is to examine and shed light on the hybrid nanofluid flows through a vertical diseased artery in the presence of the catheter tube with heat transfer. The mathematical model is established and then solved with the Laplace and the finite Hankel transforms. The inverse of the transformed functions has been calculated numerically. The velocity, the pressure, the impedance and the heat transfer are discussed graphically. It is noteworthy to mention that the mixture of the nanoparticles dispersed in the blood needs high pressure to push it. The impedance of blood is proportional to the overall volume concentration of the nanoparticles and Reynolds number.

Abstract Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are increasingly being widely used in several biomedical applications for their compatibility of synthesis and less toxicity. The mixture of gold and titanium oxide nanoparticles is suspended in water to make a new class of nanofluid, which is called a hybrid nanofluid. The problem of direct current (DC)/alternating current (AC) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropump of the hybrid nanofluid through a porous medium in the gap between vertical coaxial microtubes with heat transfer has been discussed. The mathematical model is established and then solved with the help of the Laplace transform. The inversion of the transformed functions is calculated numerically. The velocity, the flowrate, the pressure, and the heat transfer are discussed graphically. The higher concentration of the mixture of particles enhances the stream so that the required pressure is small. Moreover, it is found that the variation of the Nusselt number is noticeable by increasing the concentrations of nanoparticles, but this variation vanishes near the outer tube.

Analysis of heat transfer behaviour of hybrid nanofluid (HyNF) flow through the tubular heat exchanger was experimentally investigated. In this analysis the effects of thermal characteristics of forced convection, Nusselt number, Peclet number, and overall heat transfer coefficient were investigated.The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing the copper-titania hybrid nanocomposite (HyNC) in the water. The experiments were performed for various nanoparticle volume concentrations addition in the base fluid from the range of 0.1% to 1.0%. The experimental results show that the overall heat transfer coefficient was found to increases maximum by 30.4%, up to 0.7% volume concentration of HyNC.

Due to the increasing demand in industrial application, nanofluids have attracted the considerable attention of researchers in recent decades. The addition of nanocellulose (CNC) with water (W) and ethylene glycol (EG) to a coolant for a radiator application exhibits beneficial properties to improve the efficiency of the radiator. The focus of the present work was to investigate the performance of mono or hybrid metal oxide such as Al2O3 and TiO2 with or without plant base-extracted CNC with varying concentrations as a better heat transfer nanofluid in comparison to distilled water as a radiator coolant. The CNC is dispersed in the base fluid of EG and W with a 60:40 ratio. The highest absorption peak was noticed at 0.9% volume concentration of TiO2, Al2O3, CNC, Al2O3/TiO2, and Al2O3/CNC nanofluids which indicates a better stability of the nanofluids’ suspension. Better thermal conductivity improvement was observed for the Al2O3 nanofluids in all mono nanofluids followed by the CNC and TiO2 nanofluids, respectively. The thermal conductivity of the Al2O3/CNC hybrid nanofluids with 0.9% volume concentration was found to be superior than that of the Al2O3/TiO2 hybrid nanofluids. Al2O3/CNC hybrid nanofluid dominates over other mono and hybrid nanofluids in terms of viscosity at all volume concentrations. CNC nanofluids (all volume concentrations) exhibited the highest specific heat capacity than other mono nanofluids. Additionally, in both hybrid nanofluids, Al2O3/CNC showed the lowest specific heat capacity. The optimized volume concentration from the statistical analytical tool was found to be 0.5%. The experimental results show that the heat transfer coefficient, convective heat transfer, Reynolds number and the Nusselt number have a proportional relationship with the volumetric flow rate. Hybrid nanofluids exhibit better thermal conductivity than mono nanofluids. For instance, a better thermal conductivity improvement was shown by the mono Al2O3 nanofluids than the CNC and TiO2 nanofluids. On the other hand, superior thermal conductivity was observed for the Al2O3/CNC hybrid nanofluids compared to the other mono and hybrid ones (Al2O3/TiO2).

In the current article, we have performed computational analysis on convection heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid in occurrences where porous media and the effect of magnetic force are involved. In order to assess the time-fractional derivatives, Caputo’s notion is utilized while the Darcy–Forchheimer model is applied due to the involvement of the porous medium. Moreover, the boundary conditions are assumed to be nonuniform through the equilibrium between the surface tension and shear stress over a semi-infinite permeable flat surface. Keeping in view the complexity of the fractional derivative model and nonuniform boundary conditions, the problem in question is a complicated one. Accordingly, the coupled momentum and energy equation is linearized and the finite difference scheme is then applied and implemented in MATLAB Code R2020b. Furthermore, we have also offered a comprehensive analysis regarding error and convergence of the proposed numerical method. The newly introduced numerical technique to determine the numerical solutions and some unique and interesting deductions are established. From the computational results, one can conclude that the fluid motion in both hybrid and single nanofluids slows down due to magnetic field, porosity, and inertia coefficient as the magnetic and electric fields are synchronized due to the formation of the Lorentz force and viscous interference. We believe that our proposed numerical technique regarding employment of the fractional model for heat transfer application to the hybrid nanofluid over a semi-infinite nonuniform permeable surface along with variable heat flux is not found in the literature so far. Furthermore, the obtained results will be a valuable addition to fractional calculus from an engineering point of view.

To evaluate the heat transfer performance (HTP) of hybrid nanofluids, numerical simulations are carried out in an industrial length single pass shell and tube heat exchanger. In shell, ISO VG 68 oil enters with [Formula: see text]C and with [Formula: see text]C, the coolant passes into the tube. CNT-[Formula: see text]/water and CNT-[Formula: see text]/sodium alginate (SA) are used as Newtonian and non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid, respectively. The influence of base fluid and nanoparticles on thermal performance of heat exchanger is studied. The chosen nanoparticles are reliable to the industrial deployment. The current numerical procedure is validated with the earlier experimental results. Volume fraction of nanoparticles is optimized for an effective HTP of the heat exchanger. About 60% increment in heat transfer coefficient is observed when hybrid nanofluid is employed. By using Newtonian hybrid nanofluid, 50% improvement in Nusselt number is marked out. Effectiveness and heat transfer rate of heat exchanger are higher with the employment of Newtonian hybrid nanofluid. Results indicated that, even though Newtonian hybrid nanofluid shows higher thermal performance, non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid is preferable for energy consumption point of view.

The paper presents the results of modeling the dynamics of flow, friction and heat transfer in a descending gas-liquid flow in the pipe. The mathematical model is based on the use of the Eulerian description for both phases. The effect of a change in the degree of dispersion of the gas phase at the input, flow rate, initial liquid temperature and its friction and heat transfer rate in a two-phase flow. Addition of the gas phase causes an increase in heat transfer and friction on the wall, and these effects become more noticeable with increasing gas content and bubble diameter.

Background: Researchers working in the field of nanofluid have done many studies on the thermophysical properties of nanofluids. Among these studies, the number of studies on specific heat are rather limited. In the study of the heat transfer performance of nanofluids, it is necessary to increase the number of specific heat studies, whose subject is one of the important thermophysical properties. Objective: The authors aimed to measure the specific heat values of Al2O3/water, Cu/water nanofluids and Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluids using the DTA method, and compare the results with those frequently used in the literature. In addition, this study focuses on the effect of temperature and volume concentration on specific heat. Method: The two-step method was used in the preparation of nanofluids. The pure water selected as the base fluid was mixed with the Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles and Arabic Gum as the surfactant, firstly mixed in the magnetic stirrer for half an hour. It was then homogenized for 6 hours in the ultrasonic homogenizer. Results: After the experiments, the specific heat of nanofluids and hybrid nanofluid were compared and the temperature and volume concentration of specific heat were investigated. Then, the experimental results obtained for all three fluids were compared with the two frequently used correlations in the literature. Conclusion: Specific heat capacity increased with increasing temperature, and decreased with increasing volume concentration for three tested nanofluids. Cu/water has the lowest specific heat capacity among all tested fluids. Experimental specific heat capacity measurement results are compared by using the models developed by Pak and Cho and Xuan and Roetzel. According to experimental results, these correlations can predict experimental results within the range of ±1%.

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.
