In this paper Lorentz force effect on steady fluid flow and heat transfer of nanofluid is examined. The nanofluid is transported through horizontal parallel plates with magnetic flux of uniform density acting perpendicular to the plates. The effects of thermo-fluidic parameters such as Schmidt number, viscosity and magnetic parameter on flow and heat transfer are presented. Other important heat and mass transfer parameters such as Nusselt and Sherwood numbers practically relevant were also studied. Obtained results from analytical solutions shows quantitative increase of Magnetic parameter varied within the range of 1-4 depicts increasing temperature distribution. Also results when compared with past literatures forms good agreement. Therefore study provides a good emphasis for the advancements of Nano fluidics such as micro mixing, friction reduction, energy conservation, and biological samples.

“…In recent years, nanofluids have been an active field of research due to its greatly enhanced thermal properties. Nanofluid is a fluid containing nanometer sized particles (diameter less than 100 nm) or fibers suspended in base fluids such as water [10], ethylene glycol [11] and oil. Choi was the first who proposed the term "nanofluid" [12].…”

Study of heat and mass transfer control inside channel partially filled with a porous medium using nanofluids

The steady mixed convection of heat and mass transfer inside and outside a porous vertical wall is numerically studied. The porous wall, placed in a vertical channel, contains a solid phase, a nanofluid phase (Water-Al 2 O 3 or Water-Cu) and gas phase. The effect of several physical quantities such as nanoparticle volume fraction, ambient temperature and initial nanofluid saturation on heat and mass transfer were investigated. Results reveal that the temperature of porous medium is decreased considerably with nanoparticle volume fraction. It has been also found that the heat and mass transfer are dramatically reduced using Water-Alumina nanofluid when compared with pure water.

The numerical investigation of the natural convection in concave and convex parabolic enclosures with a nanofluid consisting of water and copper nanoparticles is carried out by using the finite volume method. The upper and lower walls of the enclosures are adiabatic while the sidewalls are isothermal at a cold temperature. An internal heat source of constant length (ε = 0.2) and negligible thickness is placed at various vertical positions along the center of the enclosure. It was found that the increase in the location of the heat source leads to a drop in the water and nanofluid flow circulation in both types of enclosures. For both considered Cases I and II, the average Nusselt number increases when the Rayleigh number and solid volume fraction increase. Moreover, it was concluded that Case I with δ = 0.8 is the optimum case for heat transfer enhancement for Ra = 103 and Ra = 104. Case II with δ = 0.5 is optimum for Ra = 105. Both cases are satisfied when the nanofluid is used with ϕ = 0.2.
