ABSTRACT

Nowadays, several engineering applications and academic investigations have demonstrated the significance of heat transfers in general and mixed convection heat transfer (MCHT) in particular in cavities containing obstacles. This study's main goal is to analyze the MCHT of a nanofluid in a triangular cavity with a pentagonal barrier using magneto hydrodynamics (MHD). The cavity's-oriented walls are continuous cold temperature, whereas the bottom wall of the triangle and all pentagonal obstacle walls are kept at a constant high temperature. For solving governing equations, we utilized the Galerkin's finite element approach. Four dimensionless factors, Richardson number (0.01 ≤ Ri ≤ 5), Reynolds number (10 ≤ Re ≤ 50), Buoyancy ratio (0.01 ≤ Br ≤ 10) and Hartmann number (0 ≤ Ha ≤20) are examined for their effects on streamlines, isotherms, concentration, velocity, and the Nusselt number. Also, with the help of Taguchi method and Response Surface Method (RSM) the optimization of the studied dimensionless parameters has been done. The optimum values of Ri, Re, Ha and Br are obtained 4.95, 30.49,18.35 and 0.05 respectively. Ultimately, a correlation has been extracted for obtaining the optimum average Nusselt number (Nu) in mentioned cavity.

ABSTRACT

In this work, transient movement of a vertically falling soluble spherical particle in a non-Newtonian medium is perused. It is supposed that the particle mass diminishes owing to its solubility in the fluid, and thus particle size will be diminished by a linear function. The governing nonlinear differential equation is solved analytically using Collocation Method (CM). The impacts of the effective parameters of this study are examined on the velocity and acceleration. Further, the positions of the particle are portrayed graphically at every 1 s time trend. Also, the limiting cases are gained and are found to be in good compromise with the numerical and literature results. The outcomes portray that the particle with a larger rate of diameter diminution moving with larger velocity rather than smaller diameter particle.

ABSTRACT

In the present study, the analytical study on blood flow containing nanoparticles through porous blood vessels is done in presence of magnetic field using Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). Blood is considered as the third grade non- Newtonian fluid containing nanoparticles. Viscosity of nanofluid is determined by Constant, Reynolds' and Vogel's models. Some efforts have been made to show the reliability and performance of the present method compared with the numerical method, Runge-Kutta fourth-order. The results reveal that the HPM can achieve suitable results in predicting the solution of these problems. Moreover, the influence of some physical parameters such as pressure gradient, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, magnetic filed intensity and Grashof number on temperature, velocity and nanoparticles concentration profiles is declared in this research. The results reveal that the increase in the pressure gradient and Thermophoresis parameter as well as decrease in the Brownian motion parameter cause the rise in the velocity profile. Furthermore, either increase in Thermophoresis or decrease in Brownian motion parameters results in enhancement in nanoparticle concentration. The highest value of velocity is observed when the Vogel's Model is used for viscosity.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, heat transfer and flow analysis for a non-Newtonian third grade nanofluid flow in porous medium of a hollow vessel in presence of magnetic field are simulated analytically and numerically. Blood is considered as the base third grade non-Newtonian fluid and gold (Au) as nanoparticles are added to it. The viscosity of nanofluid is considered a function of temperature as Vogel's model. Least Square Method (LSM), Galerkin method (GM) and fourth-order Runge-Kutta numerical method (NUM) are used to solve the present problem. The influences of the some physical parameters such as Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters on non-dimensional velocity and temperature profiles are considered. The results show that increasing the thermophoresis parameter (N(t)) caused an increase in temperature values in whole domain and an increase in nanoparticles concentration just near the inner wall of vessel. Furthermore by increasing the MHD parameter, velocity profiles decreased due to magnetic field effect.
