Flow And Heat Transfer

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.

LES calculations are conducted for flow in a channel with dimples and protrusions on opposite walls with both surfaces heated at three Reynolds numbers, ReH = 220, 940, and 9300 ranging from laminar, weakly turbulent to fully turbulent, respectively. Turbulence generated by the separated shear layer in the dimple and along the downstream rim of the dimple is primarily responsible for heat transfer augmentation on the dimple surface. On the other hand, augmentation on the protrusion surface is mostly driven by flow impingement and flow acceleration between protrusions, while the turbulence generated in the wake has a secondary effect. Heat transfer augmentation ratios of 0.99 at ReH = 220, 2.9 at ReH = 940, and 2.5 at ReH = 9300 are obtained. Both skin friction and form losses contribute to pressure drop in the channel, with form losses increasing from 45% to 80% with an increase in the Reynolds number. Friction coefficient augmentation ratios of 1.67, 4.82 and 6.37 are obtained at ReH = 220, 940, and 9300, respectively. Based on the geometry studied, it is found that dimples and protrusions may not be viable heat transfer augmentation surfaces when the flow is steady and laminar.

The Stability

It has long been established that a suspension of nanosized solid particles in liquids provide useful advantages in industrial heat transfer fluid systems. Numerous investigations on nanofluids show a significant enhancement in thermal conductivity over the base fluid in which these nanoparticles are dispersed. However, the stability of the suspension is critical in the development and application of these new kind of heat transfer fluids. Rather, high discrepancy in the published data for the same nanoparticles on the physical and thermal characteristics of nanofluids is primarily due to different methods adopted by different researchers to obtain stable nanofluids. Sedimentation and agglomeration of nanoparticles in nanofluids and their dispersion stability has not been well addressed in the literature. Hence, there is a need to establish a standard method of preparation of these nanofluids so as to obtain a unified data which can eventually be utilized for the application of nanofluids. This chapter focuses on the stability of nanofluids prepared via two step process. Different parameters that affect the stability of nanofluids have been discussed. Different techniques that have been used for the evaluation of the stability characteristics of nanofluids have been elucidated.

Mixed Convective Flow

Nanofluids occupy a large place in many fields of technology due its improved heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. Very recently, a new type of nanofluid, known as hybrid nanofluid, which consists of a mixture of two different nanoparticles suspended in the base fluid has been found to be the most emerging heat transfer fluid. It is well also established that entrance region effect enhances heat transfer rate. The present study deals with numerical investigations of the hydrodynamic behavior of the laminar mixed convective flow of a hybrid nanofluid in the entrance region of a horizontal annulus. A thermal boundary condition of uniform heat flux at the inner wall and an adiabatic outer wall is selected. The SIMPLER numerical algorithm is adopted in the present study. The hybrid nanofluid consists of water as base fluid and Ag-TiO2 as nanoparticles. The ratio of Ag to TiO2 is maintained as 1:3. The objective of the current study is mainly to analyze the hydrodynamic behavior hybrid nanofluid in the entrance region. The investigation reveals that the effect of the secondary flow due to the buoyancy forces is more intense in the upper part of the annular cross-section. It increases throughout the cross-section until its intensity reaches a maximum and then it becomes weak far downstream. The development of axial flow and temperature field is strongly influenced by the buoyancy forces.

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.

Automotive radiators use flattened tubes within which Ethylene Glycol (EG) and Water (W) based nanofluids flow to enhance the heat transfer. Computations were carried out to understand the flow and thermal characteristics of the Aluminium oxide based nanofluids, with EG:W ratio of 60:40 as the base fluid, flowing inside a flattened tube. The flow was maintained in the turbulent regime with the Reynolds number (Re) ranging from 5,000 to 14,000.Investigations were carried out for nano particle concentrations (φ) varying from 1% to 5% of the base fluid by volume. Computations were also carried out for a circular tube to study the influence of tube shape. The nanofluid with φ = 5% increased the Nusselt number values by 40% for the flattened tubes compared to the base fluid at Re =14,000. These estimates are done at constant flow Reynolds number in-line with literature, which necessitated increased inlet velocity, which meant increased pumping power. Pumping power increased with increase in φ and Re. For a constant pumping power per unit length (Pp) of 5W/m the values of average heat transfer coefficient () decreases with increase in φ. The values of for the 2% and 5% nano fluid were lower than the base fluid by 6% and 23.8% respectively. Nanofluid with φ = 1% alone showed a 1.2% higher value than the base fluid indicating the need of further exploration of φ in a closer range.

Abstract Experiments were conducted to evaluate the thermal and frictional entropy generation and exergy efficiency of rGO-Fe3O4-TiO2 hybrid nanofluid in a circular tube under laminar flow. The ternary nanoparticles are synthesized using the sol-gel technique and characterized by XRD, SEM, and FTIR. The stable ethylene glycol based ternary hybrid nanofluid were prepared and thermo-physical properties, heat transfer, friction factor, and pumping power at various particle weight concentrations (0.05% to 0.2%) and Reynolds number (211 to 2200) were investigated. Enhancement in the thermal conductivity and viscosity of 10.6% and 108.3% at ψ = 0.2% and at 60°C over the base fluid were obtained. Similarly, Nusselt number is enhanced to 17.78%; heat transfer coefficient is enhanced to 24.76%; thermal entropy generation is reduced to 19.85%; exergy efficiency enhancement of 6.23% at ψ = 0.2% and at Re = 1548 is achieved. The pressure drop, pumping power, and friction factor is augmented to 13.65%, 11.33%, and 16% at ψ = 0.2% and at Re = 221.1 over the base fluid. The overall thermal performance of the system is enhanced to 14.32%. New equations are modeled to evaluate the thermo-physical properties, Nusselt number, and friction factor.

Conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy have been solved using Fluent 14 to compute the Nusselt number and wall temperature of a finned rectangular Micro-channel for a laminar flow for water and nanofluids under mixed flow condition. Alumina based water is considered as nano fluid for the present investigation. It has been found from the numerical investigation that as the percentage of alumina is increased in the base fluid (water) the heat transfer rate is increased. It has been found that the wall temperature decreases with increase in fin number. The heat transfer is found to be more in rectangular shaped fin compared to any other shape both for the water and nanofluid. In addition to thermal characteristics, the variation of pressure drop for different fin number has also been investigated.

In the present work, laminar mixed convection of a Newtonian fluid around a hot obstacle in a square cavity with moving vertical walls is studied numerically. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the Richardson number (0 ≼ Ri ≼ 10) and Reynolds number (50 ≼ Re ≼ 500) on both hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics around a hot obstacle in the enclosure. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the heat transfer is enhanced for high values of Richardson and Reynolds numbers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate analytically the steady general three-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an aqueous titania-copper hybrid nanofluid past a circular cylinder that has a sinusoidal radius variation. Design/methodology/approach First, the analytic modeling of hybrid nanofluid is presented, and using appropriate similarity variables, the governing equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations in the dimensionless stream function, which is solved by the well-known function bvp4c from MATLAB. Findings The current solution demonstrates 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. 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 Analytic modeling of hybrid nanofluid is the important originality of present study. Hybrid nanofluids are potential fluids that offer better heat transfer performance and thermophysical properties than convectional heat transfer fluids (oil, water and ethylene glycol) and nanofluids with single nanoparticles. In this investigation, titania (TiO2, 50 nm), copper (Cu, 20 nm) and the hybrid of these two are separately dispersed into the water as the base fluid and analyzed.
