This study deals with the three-dimensional flow of a chemically reacting magnetohydrodynamic Sisko fluid over a bidirectional stretching surface filled with the ferrous nanoparticles in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink, nonlinear thermal radiation, and suction/injection. After applying the self-suitable similarity transforms, the nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved...

Non-stationary heat conduction in a single-walled carbon nanotube was investigated by applying a local heat pulse with duration of sub-picoseconds. The investigation was based on classical molecular dynamics simulations, where the heat pulse was generated as coherent fluctuations by connecting a thermostat to the local cell for a short duration. The heat conduction through the nanotube was obse...

flow field and heat transfer of a nanofluid, whose non-newtonian behavior has been demonstrated in the laboratory, in a square enclosure have been numerically modeled and investigated. to estimate the viscosity of nanofluid, experimental data of hong and kim, 2012 have been used, and a new model has been proposed. finally, the obtained results have been compared to those of newtonian behavior. ...

the present study investigated the effect of distilled-water/ silver nanofluid on heat transfer in a closed cooling system of one of the electrical energy generation units at isfahan power plant. the difference between this study and previous researches refers to silver properties which have a high thermal conductivity and is non-toxic, hydrophilic and eco-friendly. distilled water/ silver nano...

a nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. the enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, ph, and thermal conduc...

the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

The paper aims at investigating the effects of chemical reaction and thermal radiation on the steady two-dimensional laminar flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting micropolar fluid past a stretching surface embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium. The radiative heat flux is assumed to follow Rosseland approximation. The governing equations of momentum, angular momentum, energy, ...
