| description |
Hybrid nanofluid is invented to improve the heat transfer performance of traditional
working fluids in many engineering and industrial applications. This thesis
presents the numerical solutions and stability analysis of five problems related to
the boundary layer flow with heat transfer in Cu-Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid over
different permeable surfaces. The five considered problems are (1) mixed convective
stagnation point flow towards a vertical Riga plate, (2) magnetohydrodynamics
(MHD) flow past a stretching/shrinking disc with Joule heating, (3) magnetohydrodynamics
(MHD) flow past a stretching/shrinking cylinder with Joule heating, (4)
three-dimensional flow past a stretching/shrinking sheet with velocity slip and convective
boundary condition and (5) three-dimensional flow past a nonlinear stretching/
shrinking sheet with orthogonal surface shear. The combination of copper (Cu)
and alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles with water as the base fluid is modeled using the
single phase model and modified thermophysical properties of nanofluid. A set of
similarity transformation is opted to reduce the complexity of the governing model
and then, computed using the bvp4c solver in the Matlab software. For all the problems,
the validation of model are conducted by comparing the numerical values of
present and previously published report in a specific case. The surfaces are permeable
to allow the usage of suction parameter and generate the possible solutions.
Dual solutions exist in all problems within a specified range of parameters, but it is
found that only the first problem has dual solutions without the utilization of suction
parameter. However, higher values of suction parameter can affect the performance
of hybrid Cu-Al2O3/water nanofluid in augmenting the heat transfer rate as reported
in second to fifth problems. Among all the parameters discussed in this thesis, copper
volumetric concentration, electromagnetohydrodynamics (EMHD), magnetic, velocity
slip and suction parameters can delay the boundary layer separation. Meanwhile,
Biot number (convective condition), EMHD, suction, magnetic, velocity slip and
nonlinear parameters have potential to increase the heat transfer rate of the hybrid
nanofluid. Stability analysis proves that the first solution is more realistic than the
second solution. |
