In this paper the thermal convective instabilities of a binary nanofluid is theoretically investigated. In order to analyze a binary nanofluid, an addition factor is proposed under linear stability theory which is applied to the stability analysis of normal fluid. The factor describes the effect of nanoparticles on the convective instability of a basefluid. The Soret effect which represents the...

In the present study, two-phase nanofluid flow in a three-dimensional system is modeled over a stretching infinite solar plate and the heat transfer analysis is performed for this problem. The governing equations are presented based on previous studies and the suitable solution method is recommended due to infinite boundary condition in the problem. Keller Box Method (KBM) using the Maple 1...

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 ...

Nanofluid has great potentials in heat transfer enhancement and entropy generation decrease as an effective cooling medium. Effects of Al2O3-water nanofluid flow on entropy generation and heat transfer performance in a rectangular conventional channel are numerically investigated in this study. Four different volume fractions are considered and the boundary condition with a constant heat flux i...

Abstract— The flow past an infinite vertical isothermal plate started impulsively in its own plane in a viscous incompressible two-phase nanofluid has been considered by taking into account the viscous dissipative heat. Two nano particles Copper (Cu) and Alumina (Al2O3) are submerged in a base fluid, Water (H20). The coupled non-linear partial differential equations which govern the flow are so...

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...

Interfacial tension and viscosity of a liquid play an important role in microfluidic systems. In this study, temperature dependence of surface tension, interfacial tension and viscosity of a nanofluid are investigated for its applicability in droplet-based microfluidics. Experimental results show that nanofluid having TiO2 nanoparticles of 15 nm diameters in deionized water exhibit substantiall...

We study asymptotic behavior of the global attractors to the Boussinesq system for Rayleigh-B enard convection at large Prandtl number. In particular, we show that the global attractors to the Boussinesq system for Rayleigh-B enard convection converge to that of the in nite Prandtl number model for convection as the Prandtl number approaches in nity. This o ers partial justi cation of the in ni...
