Heat Transport Improvement and Three-Dimensional Rotating Cone Flow of Hybrid-Based Nanofluid

Abstract

The current research aims to study the mixed convection of a hybrid-based nanofluid consisting of ethylene glycol-water, copper (II) oxide (CuO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) in a vertical cone. A hybrid base blend model is used to examine the nanofluid’s hydrostatic and thermal behaviors over a diverse range of Reynolds numbers. The application of mixed nanoparticles rather than simple nanoparticles is one of the most imperative things in increasing the heat flow of the fluids. To test such a flow sector, for the very first time, a hybrid-based mixture model was introduced. Also, the mixture framework is a single-phase model formulation, which was used extensively for heat transfer with nanofluids. Comparison of computed values with the experimental values is presented between two models (i.e., the model of a mixture with the model of a single-phase). The natural convection within the liquid phase of phase change material is considered through the liquid fraction dependence of the thermal conductivity. The predicted results of the current model are also compared with the literature; for numerical results, the bvp4c algorithm is used to quantify the effects of nanoparticle volume fraction diffusion on the continuity, momentum, and energy equations using the viscous model for convective heat transfer in nanofluids. Expressions for velocity and temperature fields are presented. Also, the expressions for skin frictions, shear strain, and Nusselt number are obtained. The effects of involved physical parameters (e.g., Prandtl number, angular velocity ratio, buoyancy ratio, and unsteady parameter) are examined through graphs and tables.

ANN-Based Computational Heat Transfer Analysis of Carreau Fluid over a Rotating Cone

“…A fuller comprehension of the complex interaction between mass and heat transmission surrounding a vertically spinning cone can be credited to Saleem [23] for diligent research. A hybrid system was used as the study's theoretical framework as Hussain et al [24] examined the complex phenomenon of mixed convection in a nanofluid. In their groundbreaking study Li et al [25] examined how a revolving cone affected the convective transport of a viscous nanofluid, which advanced the field.…”

Insight into the Significance of Viscous Dissipation and Heat Generation/Absorption in Magneto-Hydrodynamic Radiative Casson Fluid Flow With First-Order Chemical Reaction

“…Manjunatha et al [40] have discussed the influence of Stefan blowing over a curved surface for convective heat transportation of nanofluid under chemical reaction effect. Rotating nano and hybrid nanofluids over rotating vertical cones with externally applied effects have been discussed by [41][42][43][44][45][46][47] and Hassan et al [48,49]. They discovered and advised that the recently discovered phenomenon of hybrid nanofluids produces a higher heat transfer coefficient and lower shear stress.…”
