Abstract
The thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of nanofluids are essential factors in determining heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics. Intelligent methods have demonstrated great effectiveness for the precise estimation and modeling of these properties. The purpose of this study is to model both thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of a hybrid nanofluid, TiO2-SiO2/water-ethylene glycol, by application of three intelligent approaches namely Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), Particle Swarm Optimization-Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (PSO-ANFIS) and Genetic Algorithm-Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (GA-ANFIS). The outcome of the study shows significant precision of the proposed models in estimation of the thermophysical properties. The most accurate models for thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity are PSO-ANFIS and GMDH, respectively. R2 & and Average Absolute Relative Deviation (AARD) for the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of the nanofluids with the most accurate models are 0.9907 & 0.41% and 0.9889 & 2.45%, respectively. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is conducted on both properties of the nanofluid by considering temperature, concentration, and mixture ratio of the hybrid nanofluids and it is found that for both properties, temperature has the highest effect and is followed by the concentration.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow welcomes high-quality original contributions on experimental, computational, and physical aspects of convective heat transfer and fluid dynamics relevant to engineering or the environment, including multiphase and microscale flows.
Papers reporting the application of these disciplines to design and development, with emphasis on new technological fields, are also welcomed. Some of these new fields include microscale electronic and mechanical systems; medical and biological systems; and thermal and flow control in both the internal and external environment.
