Entropy Generation and Heat Transfer in Drilling Nanoliquids with Clay Nanoparticles

Abstract

Different types of nanomaterials are used these days. Among them, clay nanoparticles are the one of the most applicable and affordable options. Specifically, clay nanoparticles have numerous applications in the field of medical science for cleaning blood, water, etc. Based on this motivation, this article aimed to study entropy generation in different drilling nanoliquids with clay nanoparticles. Entropy generation and natural convection usually occur during the drilling process of oil and gas from rocks and land, wherein clay nanoparticles may be included in the drilling fluids. In this work, water, engine oil and kerosene oil were taken as base fluids. A comparative analysis was completed for these three types of base fluid, each containing clay nanoparticles. Numerical values of viscosity and effective thermal conductivity were computed for the nanofluids based on the Maxwell–Garnett (MG) and Brinkman models. The closed-form solution of the formulated problem (in terms of partial differential equations with defined initial and boundary conditions) was determined using the Laplace transform technique. Numerical facts for temperature and velocity fields were used to calculate the Bejan number and local entropy generation. These solutions are uncommon in the literature and therefore this work can assist in the exact solutions of a number of problems of technical relevance to this type. Herein, the effect of different parameters on entropy generation and Bejan number minimization and maximization are displayed through graphs.

Investigations of Energy Conversion and Surface Effect for Laser-Illuminated Gold Nanorod Platforms

“…The main purpose of this study was to investigate how a quick temperature increase affects the heat and mass flow around gold nanorod platforms. Several investigations have already touched upon this topic [27][28][29][30], although they concern different nanomaterials under the forced convection process and not the natural one, which is stated to be dominant in this case. Moreover, in contrast to the well-known heat sources, laser beams encourage the use of Gaussian distribution in the space regime, which implies interesting and promising properties, that are worth studying.…”

Novel Synthesis of Sensitive Cu-ZnO Nanorod–Based Sensor for Hydrogen Peroxide Sensing

“…The electrochemical technique is a superior alternative to the other methods because of its inherent sensitivity, wide detection range, rapid response, low cost, and good selectivity ( Lin et al, 2010 ; Aziz et al, 2022a ). Materials with metal-oxide properties have proven to be effective in the field of electrochemical sensing ( Arsalan et al, 2019 ; Sooppy Nisar et al, 2019 ; Awais et al, 2021a ; Arsalan et al, 2021b ). There are many metal oxides with good performance in the biosensor and chemical sensor fields, including tin oxide, tungsten oxide, copper oxide, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, cuprous oxide, and zinc oxide (ZnO) ( Khan et al, 2019 ; Awais et al, 2021b ; Awais et al, 2021c ; Khan et al, 2022 ).…”
