Abstract In this paper, the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-radiation-natural convection of a hybrid nanofluid within a U-shaped wavy porous cavity is investigated. This problem has relevant applications in optimizing thermal management systems in electronic devices, solar energy collectors, and other industrial applications where efficient heat transfer is very important. The study is based on the application of a numerical approach using the Finite Difference Method (FDM) for the resolution of the governing equations, which incorporates the Rosseland approximation for thermal radiation and the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model for porous media. It was found that the increase of Hartmann number… More >

Abstract A study on unsteady MHD natural convection flow of an optically thin, heat radiating, incompressible, viscous, chemically reactive, temperature dependent heat absorbing and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate having ramped temperature, embedded in a porous medium is carried out, considering the effects of Hall current and rotation. Governing equations are non-dimensionalized and Laplace Transform Technique is used to find the exact solutions for non-dimensional velocity, temperature and concentration fields. The quantities of physical interest i.e. shear stress at the plate, rate of heat and mass transfers at the plate are More >

Abstract The numerical solution of transient natural convection MHD flow past a vertical cylinder embedded in a porous medium with surface temperature and concentration along with thermal radiation is presented. The temperature and concentration level at the cylinder surface are assumed to vary as power law type functions, with exponents m and n respectively in the stream wise co-ordinate. The governing boundary layer equations are converted into a non-dimensional form. A Crank-Nicolson type of implicit finite-difference method is used to solve the governing non-linear set of equations. Numerical results are obtained and presented with various thermal More >

Abstract This study examines natural convection in a square enclosure filled with a water-Al₂O₃ nanofluid and subjected to a magnetic field. The side walls of the cavity have spatially varying sinusoidal temperature distributions. The horizontal walls are adiabatic. A Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to solve the governing equations for fluid velocity and temperature. The following parameters and related ranges are considered: Rayleigh number of the base fluid, from Ra=10³ to 10⁶, Hartmann number from Ha=0 to 90, phase deviation (γ =0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4 and π) and solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles between ø = 0 and More >
