Abstract Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) technology was employed to fabricate internal structures within the hollow interiors of rotating parts, such as tubes and cylinders. A three-dimensional transient multiphysics model for C276 material was developed, which anticipated the impact of angular velocity from tube rotation on various aspects. This model, validated by experiments, focused on the melt pool morphology, Marangoni convection, oriented crystal microevolution, and deposited material microhardness. It was found that at 150 ms deposition, the dimensions of the melt pool stabilized. With an increase in the Peclet number, heat transfer within the melt pool… More >

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 Heat transport has been significantly enhanced by the widespread usage of extended surfaces in various engineering domains. Gas turbine blade cooling, refrigeration, and electronic equipment cooling are a few prevalent applications. Thus, the thermal analysis of extended surfaces has been the subject of a significant assessment by researchers. Motivated by this, the present study describes the unsteady thermal dispersal phenomena in a wavy fin with the presence of convection heat transmission. This analysis also emphasizes a novel mathematical model in accordance with transient thermal change in a wavy profiled fin resulting from convection using the… More >

Abstract The research examines fluid behavior in a porous box-shaped enclosure. The fluid contains nanoscale particles and swimming microbes and is subject to magnetic forces at an angle. Natural circulation driven by biological factors is investigated. The analysis combines a traditional numerical approach with machine learning techniques. Mathematical equations describing the system are transformed into a dimensionless form and then solved using computational methods. The artificial neural network (ANN) model, trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt method, accurately predicts values, showing high correlation (R = 1), low mean squared error (MSE), and minimal error clustering. Parametric analysis reveals significant… More >

Abstract The present investigation centers on the impact of viscous dissipation and ohmic heating on the plume generated by a line heat source under the impact of an aligned magnetic field. In this study, the flow model is adapted to incorporate ohmic heating and viscous dissipation by including the respective terms in the energy equation. A mathematical model is formulated as a system of coupled partial differential equations to analyze the flow problem. Subsequently, a numerical solution is derived with stream function formulation for the system of coupled partial differential equations, which transmutes it into ordinary… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In this work, a steady mixed convection in a two-dimensional enclosure filled viananoliquid Cu/H2O through a porous medium was numerically analyzed. The nanoliquid flow is designated utilizing the Brinkman-Forchheimer model. The upper and the bottom horizontal walls are considered to be hot (Th) and cold temperature (Tc), respectively, whereas the other walls are thermally insulated.

Abstract A genuine technological issue–the thermal convection of liquid in a rotating cavity–is investigated experimentally. The experiments are conducted within a horizontal annulus with isothermal boundaries. The inner boundary of the annulus has a higher temperature, thus exerting a stabilising influence on the system. It is shown that when the layer rotation velocity diminishes, two-dimensional azimuthally periodic convective rolls, rotating together with the cavity, emerge in a threshold manner. The development of convection is accompanied by a significant intensification of heat transfer through the layer. It is shown that the averaged thermal convection excitation in the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study aims to optimize the influence of the inlet inclination angle on the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), heat, and temperature distribution in mixed convection within a two-dimensional square cavity filled with an air-CO₂ mixture. The air-CO₂ mixture enters the cavity through two inlet openings positioned at the top wall, which is set at the ambient temperature (T_C). Three values of the Reynolds numbers, ranging from 1000 to 2000, are considered, while the Prandtl number is kept constant (Pr = 0.71). The temperature distribution and streamlines are shown for Rayleigh number (Ra) equal to 10⁴, three inlet More >

Abstract The behavior of non-Newtonian power-law nanofluids under free convection heat transfer conditions in a cooled square enclosure equipped with a heated fin is investigated numerically. In particular, the impact of nanofluids, composed of water and Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and Cu nanoparticles, on heat transfer enhancement is examined. The aim of this research is also to analyze the influence of different parameters, including the Rayleigh number (Ra = 10⁴ − 10⁶), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ = 0% − 20%), non-Newtonian power-law indexes (n = 0.6 − 1.4), and fin dimensions (Ar = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7).
