Non-Fourier heat and mass transfer enhancement in magnetohydrodynamic ionized fluid

Abstract

Ethylene glycol has the characteristics of plasma and off course composed of ionized particles and it is also revealed by the literature that its rheological behavior is the best characterized by the power-law rheological model. Further, nanoparticles and are antioxidant, antifriction, and antiaging, therefore, their simultaneous suspension in ethylene glycol makes the mixture an efficient coolant for engines. Here, in this study, the objective is to investigate the thermal performance of liquid mixture (the mixture of ethylene glycol and nanoparticles, and ) theoretically. For this conservation laws and correlations among the thermophysical properties are simultaneously used for the modeling of heat transfer in ethylene glycol containing nanoparticles ( and ). Models are transformed into their dimensionless form using the approach of symmetry analysis. The dimensionless models are solved numerically by the finite element method (FEM). Simulations are visualized and data is recorded in the form of graphs and numerical values. Comparative analysis has revealed that the thermal efficiency of ethylene glycol is much improved due to the simultaneous dispersion of and . It is also found that ethylene glycol with a single type of nanoparticles () is a less efficient coolant than the efficiency of ethylene glycol with hybrid nanoparticles.
