Abstract
In this communication, the effect of the addition of the copper (Cu), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) metallic nanoparticles on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) water‐based flow over a porous elastic surface is explored. The objective of the work is to include the radiative effect that interacts with the metallic nanoparticles due to permeability of the surface. The significance of this study stems from the fact that the design of various equipment, such as nuclear power plants, gas turbines, propulsion devices for aircraft, and missiles, is dependent on radiative heat transfer. To formulate the mathematical modelling, similarity transformations were used, and nonlinear differential equations were obtained. To solve the formulated nonlinear differential equations, the Runge–Kutta fourth‐order numerical scheme is used in conjunction with the shooting technique. The behavior of velocity profile and temperature profile has been discussed in detail and also engineering quantities such as Nusselt and Sherwood number which are calculated. Furthermore, the addition of metallic nanoparticles enhanced the nanofluid properties for energy transfer enrichment and found many applications in various fields of science and technology.
Highlights
Choi introduced a new type of fluid called nanofluid in 1995, which has amazing thermal conductivity properties. e goal of the concept is to saturate nanosized particles in conventional fluids known as base fluids
Nanofluids are extremely important in thermal conductivity, heat transfer enhancement, energy, and other thermos-physical properties for industrial applications [1,2,3,4,5]. e heat transfer capacity of a nanofluid after the addition of metallic and nonmetallic nanoparticles in a conventional base fluid was of particular interest to the researchers
Mohebbi et al [6] investigated the mathematical model of the Heat Transfer Augmentation Associated with Cu/Water Nanofluid in a Channel with Surface Mounted Blocks by using Lattice Boltzmann Method. e numerical method is applied for the forced convection flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid flowing inside a straight circular pipe by Saryazdi et al [7]
Summary
Choi introduced a new type of fluid called nanofluid in 1995, which has amazing thermal conductivity properties. e goal of the concept is to saturate nanosized particles in conventional fluids known as base fluids. Nanofluids are extremely important in thermal conductivity, heat transfer enhancement, energy, and other thermos-physical properties for industrial applications [1,2,3,4,5]. They have used CuO nanoparticles which are dispersed within the base fluid water and the enclosure is imposed with constant magnetic field.
