The thermosolutal instability problem in a horizontal layer of an elasticoviscous nanofluid in porous medium is considered. Walters’ (model B') fluid model is employed to describe the rheological behavior of the nanofluid and for the porous medium, the Darcy model is employed. From the linear stability analysis based upon normal modes analysis method, the dispersion relation accounting for the ...

This study presents energy, entropy, and exergy analyses of Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluid flow in a trapezoidal cross-sectioned channel under turbulent regime (104<Re<105) for the first time. Understanding main source entropy generation along channel, also obtaining total variation comparing to single nanofluids (Al2O3/water Cu/water) base fluid is pursued objective. In other p...

This paper reports experimental investigations on the droplet formation of deionized water and a nanofluid in a heat-induced microfluidic flow focusing device. Besides the effect of temperature, the effects of nanoparticle suspension (nanofluid), and the flow rate of aqueous fluid on the droplet formation and size manipulation were studied. At constant flow rates of the two liquids, three diffe...

The enhancement of the heat transfer in stirred tank is a much-desired objective for accelerating certain physical and chemical parameters industrial field. From this basis, an attempt made paper to investigate effect wavy wall on hydrodynamic, thermal, energetic behavior Al2O3-Water nanofluid. has flat bottom, it equipped with anchor stirrer. A hot temperature been imposed wall, agitator assum...
