Abstract
This study investigates fluid flow and heat transfer in an arc-shaped lid-driven cavity filled with Cu–Al2O3/water nanofluid under quadratic magnetoconvection. The coupled Navier–Stokes and energy equations are solved using the finite element method with the Newton–Pardiso solver. Two objectives are addressed: (i) sensitivity analysis of six governing parameters on the average Nusselt number using response surface methodology (central composite design and analysis of variance in MINITAB 21) and (ii) prediction of the Nusselt number using a Levenberg–Marquardt artificial neural network trained in MATLAB 21. Results show that the Richardson number exerts the strongest influence on heat transfer. Quadratic magnetoconvection enhances circulation and lowers average temperature, with greater impact on streamlines and isotherms than linear convection. The Eckert number further intensifies flow and thermal fields. Overall, the arc-shaped cavity achieves an 8.48 % higher heat transfer rate compared to a flat-wall cavity, underscoring its superior thermal performance.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
