In this research, thermal radiation, entropy generation and variable thermal conductivity effects on hybrid nanofluids by moving sheet are analyzed. The liquid is placed by stretchable flat wall that is flowing in a nonlinear pattern. Thermal conductivity changes with temperature governed by thermal radiation and MHD is incorporated. Approximations of boundary layer correspond to a set of PDEs which are then changed into ODEs by considering suitable variables. The resulting ODEs are solved using the bvp4c method. The implication with considerable physical characteristics on temperature, entropy generation and velocity profile is graphically represented and numerically discussed. Entropy generation increases for increasing Reynolds number, velocity slip parameter, Brinkman number and magnetic parameter. Scientists have recently established a rising interest in the importance of nanoparticles due to their numerous technical, industrial and commercial uses. The provided insights can be used in extrusion application areas, macromolecules, biomimetic systems, energy production and industrial process improvements.

Climate change has become one of the world’s leading threats. Currently, the construction industry has a high environmental footprint. For this reason, the scientific and technological sector is looking for new materials to reduce the environmental consequences of this division. It is well known that the valorisation of different by-products can contribute to the reduction of the energy global consumption and CO2 emissions. Magnesium Phosphate Cement (MPC) can be obtained by using Low Grade Magnesium Oxide (LG-MgO) as a by-product from the industrial process of magnesite calcination. In this research, a Sustainable MPC (Sust-MPC) for different construction purposes is developed by using LG-MgO along with monopotassium phosphate KH2PO4 (MKP) as raw materials. The increasing use of synthetic fibres in clothing, as well as China’s competitive prices on Animal Fibres (AF) market, have led to a commercial interest fibre decrease for wool-like AF in Spain. This study aims to formulate a Sust-MPC cement with Animal Fibre (AF) to reduce the cost of the new material (Sust-MPC-AF) and to increase the thermal insulation, allowing the use of Sust-MPC-AF in several potential applications. Besides, it should be emphasized that the final pH of Sust-MPC is neutral, which allows containing natural fibres. To develop Sust-MPC-AF, some properties such as thermal conductivity, density, Modulus of Elasticity (MoE), flexural strength, and economic cost were evaluated using the Design of Experiments (DoE). The DoE studies allowed obtaining a model for further optimization considering minimum thermal conductivity and cost dosages. The formulation 30L-25EW presents the minimum conductivity (λ=0.140 W·m-1·K-1). Therefore, two optimal dosages (36L-25EW and 24L-22EW) are obtained by considering mixing variables such as AF/Cement ratio (AF/C) and AF/Extra Water ratio (AF/EW).

The thermal energy of building is determined by the thermal properties of the materials and how to install these materials in the elements of buildings according to the direction of heat transfer. The effectiveness of thermal insulation (glass wool) is dependent on its thermal conductivity which is varies in different directions of fibers of glass wool. Glass wool is formed of fibers and binders tangled together during the industrial process to provide some elasticity. The experimental values of thermal conductivity of the insulation materials are changed according to magnitude of the heat power and direction of fiber arrangement. The thermal conductivity for insulation materials has been measured by using probe method,  Huekseflux ® TP02 used to measure the thermal conductivity by emit the flow perpendicular and parallel to the fibers of glass wool. Two samples of yellow glass wool (density 68 kg/m3) with dimensions (10 ×10 ×30) cm have been used. Hot Disk bulk isotropic module has been used to evaluate thermal conductivity. TPS source (Hot Disk probe reference: 4922) characterized by a diameter of 14.61 mm has been selected. COMSOL® multiphysics axisymmetric 2D model has been used to follow the axial and the radial directions of the heat transfer.

Augmentation of thermal performance in heat transfer system has become research hotspot nowadays. Numerous techniques are carried out to pick up the effective heat transport mechanism for designing high efficient thermal frameworks which has extensive practical uses in industrial process. In the current study, mixture model has been implemented for better describing the characteristics of nanoparticles in a vertical microchannel. The nondimensional equations are computed by using Runge Kutta Fehlberg method. Effect of heat source, buoyancy force and convective boundary on the thermal system has been demonstrated. The role of spheroidal nanoparticles on thermal conductivity of the conventional fluid has been examined. The causes of irreversibilities in a microchannel due to nanoliquid flow has been reported in the current research work. It is obtained that Aluminum foam has higher thermal field compared to Al2 O3. Entropy generation is reduced by lowering Eckert number and Grashof number. It is explored that nanofluid containing oblate shaped nanoparticels has higher thermal conductivity ratio.
