Abstract:The effects of nanoparticle dispersion ( 0,0.025,0.05 ) on solidification of different type of mixture of nanofluids namely, Cu-water, TiO2-Water and Al2O3-Water nanofluid inside a vertical enclosure are investigated numerically for different Grashof number ( 4 5 6 10 ,10 ,10 Gr ). An enthalpy porosity technique is used to trace the solid and liquid interface. Comparisons with previously published works show the accuracy of the obtained results. A maximum of 16% decrease in solidification time for Gr=10 6… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
