Computational modeling of a complex container with nanofluid carrier fluid and magnetic force

Abstract

The porous curved container with magnetic force was examined in this article via control volume finite element method. To make a more convective flow, the water has been mixed with nano-sized particles and various shapes of powders were utilized. The momentum equations have been updated according to the Darcy law and adding magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) terms. Circular wall assimilates uniform heat flux, but the lobed surface maintains at T = T c. Moreover, the properties of operate fluid should be changed and single-phase formulation has been utilized. The verification procedure proved the good accuracy of the applied code. Utilizing blade shapes particles instead of m = 4.8 causes Nu to augment around 11.98%. Increasing gravity force makes Nu to elevate around 28.85%. With impose of MHD, the Nu declines to about 22.81%. Adding powders leads to the elevation of Nu around 43.06%.
