Abstract
This study investigates the heat transfer enhancement in a non-uniform magnetize nanofluid flow inside a pyramid shape cavity with hot circular obstacle. Non-uniform heating is applied at the bottom wall, and scaling is used to convert the governing equations into dimensionless form. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach is employed to solve the equations. Numerical results are presented through streamlines and isotherms. The Nusselt number (Nu) and entropy generation are calculated to assess heat transfer. Results show a 4.75 % decrease in heat transfer rate as the nanoparticle volume fraction (φ) varies from 0 to 0.04, and a further 6.31 % reduction as the Hartmann number (Ha) increases from 0 to 20. The Nusselt number for non-uniform heating amplitude (from 0.5 to 0.9) displays a significant increase of up to 39 % as Hartmann number increases from 0 to 20, while showing an overall decrease of approximately 41 % across frequency ( = 0, 1 and 3) as the increases from 0 to 100. Entropy generation decreases significantly, by approximately 67 % for (0–0.02), 59 % for (0.05–1) and 57 % for (0–3), as increases from (0–100). Kinetic energy decreases for increasing frequency , Rayleigh number , and inclination angle .
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
