Effect of thermal stratification on free convection in a square porous cavity filled with a nanofluid using Tiwari and Das' nanofluid model

Natural convection in a square porous cavity filled with a nanofluid in conditions of thermal stratification has been numerically studied. The mathematical model has been formulated in terms of the dimensionless stream function and temperature using the Darcy–Boussinesq approximation and Tiwari and Das' nanofluid model with new more realistic empirical correlations for the physical properties of the nanofluids.

Transient electrohydrodynamic convective flow and heat transfer of MWCNT - Dielectric nanofluid in a heated enclosure

A computational research was performed to analyze the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) convective heat transfer in a differentially heated dielectric-MWCNT nanofluid layer. The study was conducted on a square enclosure subjected to a temperature gradient between these two vertical walls as well as a potential difference between these horizontal walls. The enclosure was filled with MWCNT oil-based nanofluid; the MWCNT nanoparticles were dispersed in a perfectly insulating thermal oil with a volume fraction of hardly exceeded 0.4%. The governing equations were derived with the assumption of homogeneous nanofluid and were solved with employing finite volume method. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the increase of Rayleigh number, electric Rayleigh number and nanoparticle concentration enhanced the heat transfer. For high thermal and electric Rayleigh number values, the flow and heat transfer became time dependent and accordingly a frequency study was also performed. It was found that the inclusion of an electric field with the addition of nanoparticles led to a significant heat transfer enhancement of about 43%.     

Natural convective heat transfer of Ag-water nanofluid flow inside enclosure with center heater and bottom heat source

A numerical study on natural convective heat transfer inside an enclosure with center heater using nanofluid has been carried out. The effect of different length of center heater on the flow and temperature fields is analysed for different Rayleigh numbers. Results are displayed in terms of streamlines, isotherms, mid height velocity profile and average Nusselt number. The numerical results reveal heat transfer increases with increasing heater length at both vertical and horizontal positions for increasing values of Rayleigh numbers. In particular, a higher increase in heat transfer is obtained with heater situated with vertical position of maximum length. Also it is obtained that enhancement of heat transfer is high for Ag - water nanofluid than CuO -water and Al₂O₃ -water nanofluids.     

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of double diffusive natural convection in heterogeneously porous media of a fluid with temperature-dependent viscosity

Double diffusive natural convection inside a porous cavity with non-uniform porosity has been numerically studied. The cavity was filled with two parallel porous layers with different porosity. Considering the effects of temperature-dependent viscosity, simulations have been done via the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) at representative elementary volume (REV) scale. In this study, the effect of porosity, buoyancy ratio, the viscosity-variation number and thermal Rayleigh number on heat and mass transfer rates was investigated. The streamlines, isotherms, isoconcentrations, average Nusselt number and average Sherwood number curves of different parameters were discussed in detail. It was observed that the governing parameters has significant impact on the fluid flow, temperature and concentration distributions. In addition, the average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are increase with an reduce in the viscosity-variation number. Further, as the absolute value of buoyancy ratio and thermal Rayleigh number increases, the effect of porosity and viscosity changes on the heat and mass transfer enhancement was augmented.
