Effect of rotating cylinder on heat transfer in a square enclosure filled with nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, a differentially heated square enclosure with an inner rotating cylinder is studied theoretically, where the free space between the cylinder and the enclosure walls is filled with water-Ag, water-Cu, water water-Al2O3 or water-TiO2 nanofluids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of nanoparticle migration on force convection of alumina/water nanofluid in a cooled parallel-plate channel

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified two-component four-equation non-homogeneous equilibrium model is employed for the alumina/water nanofluid that fully accounts for the effects of nanoparticles volume fraction distribution.

Experimental investigation into the convective heat transfer and system-level effects of Al 2 O 3 -propanol nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, dilute suspensions of 10 nm aluminum oxide nanoparticles in propanol (0.5, 1, and 3 wt%) were investigated, and changes in density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity with particle concentration were measured and found to be linear, whereas changes in viscosity were nonlinear and increased sharply with particle loading.

Numerical investigation for rotating flow of MHD hybrid nanofluid with thermal radiation over a stretching sheet.

TL;DR: This research investigates the heat and mass transfer in 3-D MHD radiative flow of water based hybrid nanofluid over an extending sheet by employing the strength of numerical computing based Lobatto IIIA method and observed that heat transfer rate increases with the increase in magnetic effect, Biot number and rotation parameter.
