The heat enhancement in hybrid nanofluid flow through the peristaltic mechanism has received great attention due to its occurrence in many engineering and biomedical systems, such as flow through canals, the cavity flow model and biomedicine. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to discuss the hybrid nanofluid flow in a symmetric peristaltic channel with diverse effects, such as electromagnetohydrodynamics (EMHD), activation energy, gyrotactic microorganisms and solar radiation. The equations governing this motion were simplified under the approximations of a low Reynolds number (LRN), a long wavelength (LWL) and Debye–Hückel linearization (DHL). The numerical solutions for the non-dimensional system of equations were tackled using the computational software Mathematica. The influences of diverse physical parameters on the flow and thermal characteristics were computed through pictorial interpretations. It was concluded from the results that the thermophoresis parameter and Grashof number increased the hybrid nanofluid velocity near the right wall. The nanoparticle temperature decreased with the radiation parameter and Schmidt number. The activation energy and radiation enhanced the nanoparticle volume fraction, and motile microorganisms decreased with an increase in the Peclet number and Schmidt number. The applications of the current investigation include chyme flow in the gastrointestinal tract, the control of blood flow during surgery by altering the magnetic field and novel drug delivery systems in pharmacological engineering.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to produce a numerical model capable of predicting the mixed convection flows in a rectangular cavity filled with a porous medium and to analyze the effects of several parameters on convective flow in porous media in a differentially heated enclosure.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors used the finite volume method.
Findings
The authors predicted and analyzed the effects of Richardson number, Darcy number, porosity values and Prandtl number in heat transfer and fluid flow. On other hand, the porosity and Richardson number values lead to reducing the heat transfer rate of mixed convection flow in a porous medium.
Originality/value
A comparison between Darcy–Brinkman–Forchheimer model and Darcy–Brinkman model is discussed and analyzed. The authors finally conclude that the Darcy–Brinkman model overestimates the heat transfer rate.
The effect of C-C heat flux on Carbon nanotubes (SWCNT/MWCNT) filled with Darcy porous medium with convective conditions is studied numerically. The derived nonlinear ordinary differential equations are non-dimensionalized and worked out numerically with the help of maple softer by RKF-45 method. The scientific results for non-dimensionalized equation are presented for both SWCNT/MWCNT cases. Accouterments of various predominant restrictions on flow and thermal fields are scanned. Computation estimation for friction factor and local Nusselt number are also executed.
This manuscript optimizes the conjugate heat transfer and thermal-stress analysis for hydromagnetic Brinkman fluid with chemical reaction in permeable media. The governing equations of non-Newtonian Brinkman fluid have been traced out and then fractional derivative approach, namely, Caputo–Fabrizio, is invoked, subject to the exponential boundary conditions. The Fourier Sine and Laplace transforms are applied on governing partial differential equations for generating the analytical results of temperature, concentration and velocity. A comparative study of velocity field is investigated for the sake of long memory and hereditary properties. The analytical investigation of temperature, concentration and velocity field have strong effects on chemical reaction. The graphical depiction of vibrant characteristics of hydromagnetic Brinkman fluid with chemical reaction in permeable media is exhibited for disclosing the sensitivities of different embedded rheological parameters of fluid flow. The results suggested that temperature distribution for smaller and larger Prandtl number has disclosed quick and thicker heat diffusivity.
A circular tube fitted with novel corrugated spring tape inserts has been investigated. Air was used as the working fluid. A thorough literature review has been done and this geometry has not been studied previously, neither experimentally nor theoretically. A novel experimental investigation of this enhanced geometry can, therefore, be treated as a new substantial contribution in the open literature. Three different spring ratio and depth ratio has been used in this study. Increase in thermal energy transport coefficient is noticed with increase in depth ratio. Corrugated spring tape shows promising results towards heat transfer enhancement. This geometry performs significantly better (60% to 75% increase in heat duty at constant pumping power and 20% to 31% reduction in pumping power at constant heat duty) than simple spring tape. This paper also presented a statistical analysis of the heat transfer and fluid flow by developing an artificial neural network (ANN)-based machine learning (ML) model. The model is evaluated to have an accuracy of 98.00% on unknown test data. These models will help the researchers working in heat transfer enhancement-based experiments to understand and predict the output. As a result, the time and cost of the experiments will reduce. The results of this investigation can be used in designing heat exchangers.
The convection, thermal conductivity, and heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid through nanoparticles has become integral part of several natural and industrial processes. In this manuscript, a new fractionalized model based on hybrid nanofluid is proposed and investigated by employing singular verses and non-singular kernels. The mathematical modeling of hybrid nanofluid is handled via modern fractional definitions of differentiations. The combined Laplace and Fourier Sine transforms have been configurated on the governing equations of hybrid nanofluid. The analytical expression of the governing temperature and velocity equations of hybrid nanofluid have been solved via special functions. For the sake of thermal performance, dimensional analysis of governing equations and suitable boundary conditions based on Mittage-Leffler function have been invoked for the first time in literature. The comparative analysis of heat transfer from hybrid nanofluid has been observed through Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu differential operators. Finally, our results suggest that volume fraction has the decelerated and accelerated trends of temperature distribution and inclined and declined profile of heat transfer is observed copper and alumina nanoparticles.
