The prime objective of the current study is to examine the effects of third-grade hybrid nanofluid with natural convection utilizing the ferro-particle Fe 3 O 4 and titanium dioxide TiO 2 and sodium alginate (SA) as a host fluid, flowing through vertical parallel plates, under the fuzzy atmosphere. The dimensionless highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are computed adopting the bvp4c numerical approach. This is an extremely effective technique with a low computational cost. For validation, it is found that as the volume fraction of Fe 3 O 4 + TiO 2 hybrid nanoparticles rises, so does the heat transfer rate. The current and existing results with their comparisons are shown in the form of the tables. The present findings are in good agreement with their previous numerical and analytical results in a crisp atmosphere. The nanoparticles volume fraction of Fe 3 O 4 and TiO 2 is taken as uncertain parameters in terms of triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) [0, 0.05, 0.1]. The TFNs are controlled by α − cut and the variability of the uncertainty is studied through triangular membership function (MF).

A numerical analysis has been conducted to show the effects of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and Joule heating on heat transfer phenomenon in a lid driven triangular cavity. The heat transfer fluid (HTF) has been considered as water based hybrid nanofluid composed of equal quantities of Cu and TiO2 nanoparticles. The bottom wall of the cavity is undulated in sinusoidal pattern and cooled isothermally. The left vertical wall of the cavity is heated while the inclined side is insulated. The two dimensional governing partial differential equations of heat transfer and fluid flow with appropriate boundary conditions have been solved by using Galerkin's finite element method built in COMSOL Multyphysics. The effects of Hartmann number, Joule heating, number of undulation and Richardson number on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics have been studied in details. The values of Prandtl number and solid volume fraction of hybrid nanoparticles have been considered as fixed. Also, the code validation has been shown. The numerical results have been presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms and average Nusselt number of the hybrid nanofluid for different values of governing parameters. The comparison of heat transfer rate by using hybrid nanofluid, Cu-water nanofluid,  TiO2 -water nanofluid and clear water has been also shown. Increasing wave number from 0 to 3 enhances the heat transfer rate by 16.89%. The enhanced rate of mean Nusselt number for hybrid nanofluid is found as 4.11% compared to base fluid.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to apply the incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics method for simulating the natural convection flow inside a cavity including cross blades or circular cylinder cylinder. Design/methodology/approach The base fluid is water and copper-water nanofluid is treated as a working fluid. The left and rights walls are maintained at a cool temperature, the horizontal cavity walls are isolated and the inner shape was heated. The physical parameters are the length of the blades L_Blade, the number of cross blades, circular cylinder radius L_R, Rayleigh number Ra and the nanoparticles volume fraction. Findings The results reveal that the lengths of the cross blade, number of the blades and radius of the circular cylinder is working as an enhancement factor for heat transfer and fluid flows inside a cavity. Adding nanoparticles augments heat transfer and reduces the fluid flow intensity inside a cavity. The best case for buoyancy-driven flow was obtained when the inner shape is the circular cylinder at a higher Rayleigh number. Originality/value This work uses a distinctive numerical method to study the natural convection heat from cross blades inside a cavity filled with nanofluid. It provides a new analysis of this issue and presented good results.

Three dimensional laminar natural convection flow of and heat transfer in incompressible air between two inclined parallel plates are analyzed with the Boussinesq approximation by using spectral methods. The plates are assumed to be infinitely long in streamwise (x) and spanwise (z) directions. For these directions, periodic boundary conditions are used and for the normal direction (y), constant wall temperature and no slip boundary conditions are used. Unsteady Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved using a pseudospectral approach in order to obtain velocity and temperature fields inside the channel. Fourier series are used to expand the variables in × and z directions, while Chebyshev polynomials are used to expand the variables in y direction. By using the temperature distribution between the plates, local and average Nusselt numbers (Nu) are calculated. Nu values are correlated with φ, which is the inclination angle, and with Ra·cosφ to compare the results with the literature.

The numerical simulations of the uniform circular rotation of paddles on circular cylinder results natural convection flow of Al2O3-water in a cross-shaped porous cavity were performed by incompressible representation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics entitled ISPH method. The two vertical area of a cross-shaped cavity is saturated with homogeneous porous media and the whole horizontal area of a cross-shaped cavity is saturated with heterogeneous porous media. The inner paddles on the circular cylinder are rotating around their center by a uniform circular velocity. The whole embedded body of paddles on a circular cylinder has temperature Th. The wall-sides of a cross-shaped cavity are positioned at a temperature Tc. The current geometry can be applied in analysis and understanding the thermophysical behaviors of the electronic motors. The angular velocity is taken as ! = 7:15 and consequently the natural convection case is only considered due to the low speed of inner rotating shape. The performed simulations are represented in the graphical for the temperature distributions, velocity fields and tabular forms for average Nusselt number. The results revealed that an augmentation on paddle length rises the heat transfer and speed of fluid flow inside a cross shaped cavity. Also, an incrementation on Rayleigh number augments the heat transfer and speed of the fluid flow inside a cross-shaped cavity. The fluid flow is circulated only around the rotating inner shape when Darcy parameter decreases to Da = 105. Average Nusselt number Nu enhances by an increment on the paddle lengths and nanoparticles volume fraction

This numerical investigation intends to present the impact of nanoparticles volume fraction, Casson, and magnetic force on natural convection in the boundary layer region of a horizontal cylinder in a Casson nanofluid under constant heat flux boundary conditions. Methanol is considered as a host Casson fluid. Graphite oxide (GO), single and multiple walls carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs) nanoparticles have been incorporated to support the heat transfer performances of the host fluid. The Keller box technique is employed to solve the transformed governing equations. Our numerical findings were in an excellent agreement with the preceding literature. Graphical results of the effect of the relevant parameters on some physical quantities related to examine the behavior of Casson nanofluid flow were obtained, and they confirmed that an augmentation in Casson parameter results in a decline in local skin friction, velocity, or temperature, as well as leading to an increment in local Nusselt number. Furthermore, MWCNTs are the most efficient in improving the rate of heat transfer and velocity, and they possess the lowest temperature.

In this study, a new cavity form filled under a constant magnetic field by Ag/MgO/H2O nanofluids and porous media consistent with natural convection and total entropy is examined. The nanofluid flow is considered to be laminar and incompressible, while the advection inertia effect in the porous layer is taken into account by adopting the Darcy–Forchheimer model. The problem is explained in the dimensionless form of the governing equations and solved by the finite element method. The results of the values of Darcy (Da), Hartmann (Ha) and Rayleigh (Ra) numbers, porosity (εp), and the properties of solid volume fraction (ϕ) and flow fields were studied. The findings show that with each improvement in the Ha number, the heat transfer rate becomes more limited, and thus the magnetic field can be used as an outstanding heat transfer controller.

AbstractIn this work, the thermal analysis for bio-convective hybrid nanofluid flowing upon a thin horizontally moving needle is carried out. The chemical reaction and viscous dissipation has also considered for flow system in the presence of microorganism. The hybrid nanoparticles comprising of Copper $$\left( {Cu} \right)$$ Cu and Alumina $$\left( {Al_{2} O_{3} } \right)$$ A l 2 O 3 are considered for current flow problem. Mathematically the flow problem is formulated by employing the famous Buongiorno’s model that will also investigate the consequences of thermophoretic forces and Brownian motion upon flow system. Group of similar variables is used to transform the model equations into dimensionless form and have then solved analytically by homotopy analysis method (HAM). It has established in this work that, flow of fluid declines due to increase in bioconvection Rayleigh number, buoyancy ratio and volume fractions of nanoparticles. Thermal flow grows due to rise in Eckert number, Brownian, thermophoresis parameters and volume fraction of nanoparticles. Concentration profiles increase due to growth in Brownian motion parameter and reduces due to increase in thermophoresis parameter and Lewis number. Motile microorganism profile declines due to augmentation in Peclet and bioconvection Lewis numbers. Moreover, the percentage enhancement in the drag force and rate of heat transfer using conventional nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid are observed and discussed. The hybrid nanofluid increases the skin friction and heat transfer rate more rapidly and efficiently as compared to other traditional fluids. A comparison of the present study with the existing literature is also conducted with a closed agreement between both results for variations in thickness of the needle.

Present work deals with the numerical study of flow due to a continuously moving slender needle in a hybrid nanoliquid. The mathematical model of this work is developed in terms of nonlinear partial differential equations. By adopting the relevant similarity transformations, these equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Afterward, the solution is determined computationally via a bvp4c solver in MATLAB software. The influences of nanoparticle volume fraction, needle thickness and velocity ratio parameter on the rate of heat transfer, coefficient of skin friction, velocity as well as temperature distributions are illustrated in graphical form to describe the important features of the solution. The multiple solutions seem to appear when the needle opposes the free stream flow. It is revealed from the study that the composite (hybrid) nanoparticles augment the heat transfer rate between the flow and the needle in a certain domain of the velocity ratio parameter. The analysis of stability has proved that the upper branch solution represents stable flow, whereas the lower branch solution represents unstable flow.

Unsteady conjugate natural convection in a semicircular cavity with a solid shell of finite thickness filled with a hybrid water-based suspension of Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles (hybrid nanofluid) has been analyzed numerically. The governing equations for this investigation are formulated in terms of the dimensionless stream function, vorticity, and temperature and have been solved by the finite difference method of the second-order accuracy. The effects of the dimensionless time, Rayleigh number, thermal conductivity ratio, and the nanoparticles volume fraction on the flow patterns and heat transfer have been studied. The obtained results have revealed essential heat transfer enhancement at solid–fluid interface with addition of nanoparticles. In addition, a comparison of the heat transfer enhancement level due to the suspension of various nanoparticles materials (Al2O3 and Cu) in water as regular nanofluids (Al2O3/water and Cu/water) and as a hybrid Al2O3–Cu/water nanofluid is reported.
