Thermal investigation of Cu–water nanofluid between two vertical planes

Abstract: In this paper, the natural convection of a non-Newtonian Cu-water nanofluid between two infinite parallel vertical flat plates is investigated. The basic partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations which are solved analytically using homotopy perturbation method. The comparison between the results from homotopy perturbation and numerical methods are in good agreement which proves the capability of this method for solving this problem. The effects of the nanoparticle volume fra… Show more

“…Nanofluids have exhibited an excellent possibility for augmenting heat transfer rates in a diversity of applications. [3][4][5][6] Rashidi et al 7 used a volume of fluid (VOF) model to study the potential of alumina-water nanofluid to improve the productivity of a single slope solar still along with entropy generation analysis. VOF model is utilized to simulate the evaporation and condensation phenomena in the solar still.…”

“…It is remarked from their investigation that, the thermal eld and local heat transfer rate upsurges with increment in thermal radiation parameter. However, some of the pioneering e orts made in this direction to analyze the di usion characteristics of nano uids are [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

“…Ersoy 4 studied the flow of a viscous fluid between two disks rotating about distinct vertical axes at different speeds. Mohammadian et al 5 investigated the natural convection of a non-Newtonian nanofluid between two infinite parallel vertical plates. Hatami et al 6 have examined the asymmetric laminar flow and heat transfer of nanofluid through contracting rotating disks.…”
