In the current scenario a new mathematical model is designed and examined for the unsteady course of nanofluid through permeable vertical surface due to the interaction of inclined magnetic field. Radiative heat transfer properties is included assuming the Cogley radiation, dissipative heat energy due to the conjunction o magnetic field i.e., Joule dissipation and the space and time-dependent heat source/sink amplifies the study as well. Depending upon todays need in various industries the implementation of nanofluid is vital. Therefore, present study involves the behavior of both metal and oxide nanoparticles in the base fluid kerosene. Involvement of transformation rules the problem is converted into nonlinear set of ODEs and further these are solved employing approximate analytical technique such as Variational Iteration Method (VIM). The characteristics of various flow parameters are analyzed via graphs and the numerical simulation along with the validation of the result is obtained through tables. The comparative study brings out the convergence criterion of the methodology adopted herein. However, the favorable results are; the fluid temperature augments with increasing nanoparticle volume fraction and suction enriches both the fluid velocity and temperature whereas injection retards it significantly.

Single and double impinging jets heat transfer of non-Newtonian power law nanofluid on a partly curved surface under the inclined magnetic field effects is analyzed with finite element method. The numerical work is performed for various values of Reynolds number (Re, between 100 and 300), Hartmann number (Ha, between 0 and 10), magnetic field inclination (γ, between 0 and 90), curved wall aspect ratio (AR, between 01. and 1.2), power law index (n, between 0.8 and 1.2), nanoparticle volume fraction (ϕ, between 0 and 0.04) and particle size in nm (dp, between 20 and 80). The amount of rise in average Nusselt (Nu) number with Re number depends upon the power law index while the discrepancy between the Newtonian fluid case becomes higher with higher values of power law indices. As compared to case with n = 1, discrepancy in the average Nu number are obtained as −38% and 71.5% for cases with n = 0.8 and n = 1.2. The magnetic field strength and inclination can be used to control the size and number or vortices. As magnetic field is imposed at the higher strength, the average Nu reduces by about 26.6% and 7.5% for single and double jets with n greater than 1 while it increases by about 4.78% and 12.58% with n less than 1. The inclination of magnetic field also plays an important role on the amount of enhancement in the average Nu number for different n values. The aspect ratio of the curved wall affects the flow field slightly while the average Nu variation becomes 5%. Average Nu number increases with higher solid particle volume fraction and with smaller particle size. At the highest particle size, it is increased by about 14%. There is 7% variation in the average Nu number when cases with lowest and highest particle size are compared. Finally, convective heat transfer performance modeling with four inputs and one output is successfully obtained by using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Interface System (ANFIS) which provides fast and accurate prediction results.

AbstractThe current investigation is concerned with heat transfer and entropy generation analysis in a horizontal channel brimming with porous medium in the existence of aligned magnetic field, viscous and joules dissipation and temperature gradient heat source. The boundary conditions are treated as constant values for velocity and temperature at lower and upper walls. An explicit solution of governing equations has been attained in closed system. The repercussions of pertinent parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature, entropy generation and Bejan number are conferred and scrutinized through graphs in detail. Additionally the expressions for shear stress and the rate of heat transfer coefficients at the channel walls are derived and results obtained are physically interpreted through tables. From the conquered results, it is addressed that Brinkman number Br enhances boundary layer thickness. Entropy generation increases with intensifying values of $$M$$ M , aligned angle ϕ, temperature gradient heat source parameter Q, characteristic temperature ration $$\omega$$ ω and permeability parameter K. The shear stress is same at both the lower and upper walls.

This article addresses the effects of heat transfer on magnetohydrodynamic Falkner-Skan wedge flow of a Jeffery fluid. The continuity, momentum and energy balance equations yield the relevant PDE which are transforms to ODE by exploitation of similarity variables. Strength of optimal homotopy series solutions is practiced to solved analytically the transformed ODE model of hydromagnetic Falkner-Skan fluid rheology with heat transfer scenarios. The graphical and numerical illustrations of the result are presented for different interesting flow parameters. Numerical values of Nusselt number are tabulated. It is observed that for the Falkner-Skan rheology, the applied magnetic field acts as a controlling agnet which controls the fluids velocity up to the desired value whereas Debrorah number enhances the fluid velocity.

In the current study, laminar heat transfer and direct fluid jet injection of oil/MWCNT nanofluid were numerically investigated with a finite volume method. Both slip and no-slip boundary conditions on solid walls were used. The objective of this study was to increase the cooling performance of heated walls inside a rectangular microchannel. Reynolds numbers ranged from 10 to 50; slip coefficients were 0.0, 0.04, and 0.08; and nanoparticle volume fractions were 0–4%. The results showed that using techniques for improving heat transfer, such as fluid jet injection with low temperature and adding nanoparticles to the base fluid, allowed for good results to be obtained. By increasing jet injection, areas with eliminated boundary layers along the fluid direction spread in the domain. Dispersing solid nanoparticles in the base fluid with higher volume fractions resulted in better temperature distribution and Nusselt number. By increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction, the temperature of the heated surface penetrated to the flow centerline and the fluid temperature increased. Jet injection with higher velocity, due to its higher fluid momentum, resulted in higher Nusselt number and affected lateral areas. Fluid velocity was higher in jet areas, which diminished the effect of the boundary layer.

In this paper, we present a numerical study of turbulent natural convection in a square cavity differentially heated and filled with nanofluid and subjected to an inclined magnetic field. The standard k-? model was used as the turbulence model. The transport equations were discretized by the finite volume method using the SIMPLE algorithm. The influence of the Rayleigh number, the Hartmann number, the orientation angle of the applied magnetic field, the type of nanoparticles as well as the volume fraction of nanoparticles, on the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of the nanofluid was illustrated and discussed in terms of streamlines, isotherms and mean Nusselt number. The results obtained show that the heat transfer rate increases with increasing Rayleigh number and orientation angle of the magnetic field but it decreases with increasing Hartmann number. In addition, heat transfer improves with increasing volume fraction and with the use of Al2O3 nanoparticles.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to investigate an oscillatory fluid flow and heat transfer through a porous medium between parallel plates in the presence of an inclined magnetic field, radiative heat flux and heat source. It is assumed that electrical conductivity of the fluid is small and the electromagnetic force produced is very small. The governing coupled equations of motion and energy are solved analytically. Numerical results for the velocity and temperature profiles, local skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number for various values of physical parameters are discussed numerically and presented graphically.


This paper is intended for studying the thermal effects of transient magneto hydrodynamic Casson liquid stream with presence of heat transfer through inclined parallel plates. The examination reveals various vital parts of flow and heat transfer. The partial differential equation which governs the conditions of the motion of the moving body is changed to standard differential conditions. The flow emphasizes and heat transfer attributes for different inferences of the representing parameters viz. the parameters Casson, heat source, Hartmann and Prandtl's numbers are explored. It was revealed that heat source and magnetic field alters the flow prototype and increments the fluid temperature.

Mixed convection has been one of the most interesting subjects of study in the area of heat transfer for many years. The entropy generation due to MHD mixed convection heat transfer in L-shaped enclosure being filled with Cu-water nanofluid and having an internal heating generation is explored in this investigation by the finite volume technique. Lid-motion is presented by both right and top parts of walls to induce forced convection and the cavity is under an inclined uniform magnetic field along the positive horizontal direction. The statistics concentrated specifically on the impacts of several key parameters like as the aspect ratio of the enclosure, Hartmann number, nano-particle volume fraction, and heat source length/location on the heat transfer inside the L-shaped enclosure. Outcomes have been manifested in terms of isotherm lines, streamlines, local and average Nusselt numbers. The obtained results show that addition of nanoparticles into pure fluid leads to increase of heat transfer. The maximum value of local Nusselt pertaining to the heat source occurs when L=0.1. Impacts of heat source size and location, internal heat generation absorption, angle of magnetic field on heat transfer and entropy generation are completely analyzed and discussed. The best configuration and values of important parameters are also presented using thermal performance criteria.
