This research work deals with investigation of the thermal characteristics of the Darcy–Forchheimer hydromagnetic hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Cu/H2O) flow through a permeable stretching cylinder. The model equations, which consist of continuity, momentum, and energy equations, are converted to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations through similarity variables transformations and appropriate boundary conditions. Brownian motion and Thermophoresis effects are mainly focused in this work. The impacts of some interesting parameters over velocity, temperature, and concentrations profiles are graphically studied. The present study will be helpful in understanding the thermal characteristics of heat transfer liquids.

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.

This paper presents the numerical predictions of hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of nanofluid flow through backward facing step. The governing equations are solved through the finite volume method, as described by Patankar, by taking into account the associated boundary conditions. Empirical relations were used to give the effective dynamic viscosity and the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid. Effects of different key parameters such as Reynolds number, nanoparticle solid volume fraction and nanoparticle solid diameter on the heat transfer and fluid flow are investigated. The results are discussed in terms of the average Nusselt number and streamlines.

A 2-D computational analysis is carried out to calculate heat transfer and friction factor for laminar flow through a rectangular duct with using fan–shape ribs as a turbulator. The types of rib shapes are imported on the heat transfer rate and fluid flow in heat exchangers. The present study makes use of fan-shaped ribs with two arrangements. The first arrangement was downstream fan–shape ribs (case 1) and upstream fan–shape ribs (case 2) is investigated. A commercial finite volume package ANSYS FLUENT 16.1 is used for solving the meshing process with continuity, momentum, and energy equations respectively to investigate fluid flow and heat transfer across the ribs surface. The Reynolds number (Re) range of (400 – 2250) with different relative roughness pitch (p/H= 0.17, 0.22, 0.27 and 0.32) at constant rib high (e/H). The results show that the heat transfers and friction increase with using ribs also, the results show that heat transfer Directly proportional to pitch ratio and Reynolds number.

A 3D computational fluid dynamics method is used in the current study to investigate the hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow and heat transfer in an annulus with hot and cold rods. The chief goal of the current study is to examine the influences of dissimilar Reynolds numbers, emissivity coefficients, and dissimilar volume fractions of nanoparticles on hydraulic and thermal characteristics of the studied annulus. In this way, the geometry is modeled using a symmetry scheme. The heat transfer fluid is a water, ethylene–glycol, or water/ethylene–glycol mixture-based Cu-Al2O3 HNF, which is a Newtonian NF. According to the findings for the model at Re = 3000 and ϕ1 = 0.05, all studied cases with different base fluids have similar behavior. ϕ1 and ϕ2 are the volume concentration of Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles, respectively. For all studied cases, the total average Nusselt number (Nuave) reduces firstly by an increment of the volume concentrations of Cu nanoparticles until ϕ2 = 0.01 or 0.02 and then, the total Nuave rises by an increment of the volume concentrations of Cu nanoparticles. Additionally, for the case with water as the base fluid, the total Nuave at ϕ2 = 0.05 is higher than the values at ϕ2 = 0.00. On the other hand, for the other cases, the total Nuave at ϕ2 = 0.05 is lower than the values at ϕ2 = 0.00. For all studied cases, the case with water as the base fluid has the maximum Nuave. Plus, for the model at Re = 4000 and ϕ1 = 0.05, all studied cases with different base fluids have similar behavior. For all studied cases, the total Nuave reduces firstly by an increment of the volume concentrations of Cu nanoparticles until ϕ2 = 0.01 and then, the total Nuave rises by an increment of the volume concentrations of Cu nanoparticles. The Nuave augments are found by an increment of Reynolds numbers. Higher emissivity values should lead to higher radiation heat transfer, but the portion of radiative heat transfer in the studied annulus is low and therefore, has no observable increment in HNF flow and heat transfer.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a hybrid nanofluid (Cu-Al2O3/water) in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics and thermal radiation over a permeable moving surface. Design/methodology/approach By choosing appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into a system of linear equations which are solved by using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB. The implementation of stability analysis verifies the achievable result of the first solution which is considered stable while the second solution is unstable. Findings The findings revealed that the presence of a magnetic field and suction slows down the fluid motion because of the synchronism of the magnetic and electric field occurred from the formation of the Lorentz force. Also, the enhancement of the thermal radiation parameter escalates the heat transfer rate of the current study. Originality/value The present study is addressing the problem of MHD flow and heat transfer analysis of a hybrid nanofluid towards a permeable moving surface, with the consideration of the thermal radiation effect. The authors show that in both cases of assisting and opposing flow, there exist dual solutions within a specific range of the moving parameters. A stability analysis approved that only one of the solutions are physically relevant.

Purpose The aim of this study is to elaborate three dimensional rotating flow of nanoliquid induced by a stretchable sheet subject to Darcy–Forchheimer porous space. Thermophoretic diffusion and random motion aspects are retained. Prescribed surface heat flux and prescribed surface mass flux conditions are implemented at stretchable surface. Convergent series solutions have been derived for velocities, temperature and concentration. Design/methodology/approach Optimal homotopy analysis method is implemented for the solution development. Findings The current solution demonstrates very good agreement with those of the previously published studies in the special cases of regular fluid and nanofluids. Graphical results are presented to investigate the influences of the titania and copper nanoparticle volume fractions and also the nodal/saddle indicative parameter on flow and heat transfer characteristics. Here, the thermal characteristics of hybrid nanofluid are found to be higher in comparison to the base fluid and fluid containing single nanoparticles, respectively. An important point to note is that the developed model can be used with great confidence to study the flow and heat transfer of hybrid nanofluids. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such consideration has been given in the literature yet.

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.

AbstractThis work investigates numerically the solution of Darcy–Forchheimer flow for hybrid nanofluid by employing the slip conditions. Basically, the fluid flow is produced by a swirling disk and is exposed to thermal stratification along with non-linear thermal radiation for controlling the heat transfer of the flow system. In this investigation, the nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide have been suspended in water as base fluid. Moreover, the Darcy–Forchheimer expression is used to characterize the porous spaces with variable porosity and permeability. The resulting expressions of motion, energy and mass transfer in dimensionless form have been solved by HAM (Homotopy analysis method). In addition, the influence of different emerging factors upon flow system has been disputed both theoretically in graphical form and numerically in the tabular form. During this effort, it has been recognized that velocities profiles augment with growing values of mixed convection parameter while thermal characteristics enhance with augmenting values of radiation parameters. According to the findings, heat is transmitted more quickly in hybrid nanofluid than in traditional nanofluid. Furthermore, it is estimated that the velocities of fluid $$f^{\prime}\left( \xi \right),g\left( \xi \right)$$ f ′ ξ , g ξ are decayed for high values of $$\phi_{1} ,\phi_{2} ,\,Fr$$ ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 , F r and $$k_{1}$$ k 1 factors.
