A theoretical model for nanofluid flow, including Brownian motion and thermophoresis, is developed and analysed. Standard boundary layer theory is used to evaluate the heat transfer coefficient near a flat surface. The model is almost identical to previous models for nanofluid flow which have predicted an increase in the heat transfer with increasing particle concentration. In contrast our work...

Abstract The key objective of the present research is to examine hybrid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid (Carbon-nanotubes and ferrous oxide–water) CNT – Fe 3 O 4 / H 2 flow into a horizontal parallel channel with thermal radiation through squeezing dilating porous walls. parting motion triggered by walls channel. fluid time-dependent laminar. asymmetric upper lower are distinct in temperat...

For a solar thermal system, increasing the heat transfer area can increase the output temperature of the system. However, this approach leads to a bigger and bulkier collector. It will then increase the cost and energy needed to manufacture the solar collector. This study is carried out to estimate the potential to design a smaller solar collector that can produce the same desired output temper...

The thermal performances of a minichannel heat sink are experimentally investigated for cooling of electronics using nanofluid coolant instead of pure water. The Al2O3–H2O nanofluid including the volume fraction ranging from 0.10 to 0.25 vol.% was used as a coolant. The effects of different flow rates of the coolant on the overall thermal performances are also investigated. The flow rate was ra...

Molten salt is an excellent medium for heat transfer and storage. The unique microstructure of carbon nanomaterials leads to good mechanical stability, low density, high thermal conductivity, strength, etc. addition molten form nanofluid can remarkably enhance the specific capacity conductivity reduce viscosity, which great importance increase storage density cost. Nevertheless, some challenges...

In the recent years, great interest has been devoted to the unique properties of nanofluids. The dispersion process and the nanoparticle suspension stability have been found to be critical points in the development of these new fluids. For this reason, an experimental study on the stability of water-based dispersions containing different nanoparticles, i.e. single wall carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs)...

The nonlinear two-dimensional forced-convection boundary-layer magneto hydrodynamic MHD incompressible flow of nanofluid over a horizontal stretching flat plate with variable magnetic field including the viscous dissipation effect is solved using the homotopy perturbation method HPM . In the present work, our results of the HPM are compared with the results of simulation using the finite differ...

This research is concerned with the peristaltic flow of third order nanofluid in an asymmetric channel. The governing equations of third order nanofluid are modelled in wave frame of reference. Effect of induced magnetic field is considered. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number situation is tackled. Numerical solutions of the governing problem are computed and analyzed.
