Utilizing the Laplace transform technique to obtain precise solutions, this study effectively integrates the impacts of both thermal and mass stratification without dependence on approximations. The main goal is to assess how thermal and mass stratification impact MHD flow dynamics, temperature, and concentration profiles under varying conditions. The study provides a thorough comparison of these findings with traditional nonstratified scenarios, presenting a comprehensive analysis of fluid behavior under diverse conditions. The conclusions reveal that thermal and mass stratifications considerably diminish velocity and stabilize temperature distributions, which suggests a damping influence on fluid movement and improved management of diffusion processes. Enhanced Grashof numbers improve heat and mass transfer efficiency, while magnetic and Darcy parameters significantly influence flow resistance and heat transfer characteristics. These conditions also result in higher Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, indicating increased efficiency in heat and mass transfer. In contrast, scenarios without stratification display higher velocities and more unstable temperature and concentration profiles. The findings highlight the critical role of stratification in improving fluid dynamics and increasing the efficiency of heat and mass transfer processes, offering valuable insights for engineering and environmental applications in similar conditions. The main novelty of the research is being the first to use the Laplace transform for exact solutions on combined thermal and mass stratification in MHD flows, enhancing prediction accuracy and process control.</p>","PeriodicalId":44939,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer","volume":"53 8","pages":"4822-4850"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the aim of the current investigation is to explore the impacts of “mixed convection” on “nanofluid flow” over a permeable rotating disk, which is stretched radially in a porous medium. Variable wall “temperature” and “convective boundary conditions” are also considered here. This makes the present investigation different from others. The suitable “similarity transformations” are imposed to alter the governing partial differential equations into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Then, these ODEs are solved numerically by the “4th order Runge-Kutta method” using the “shooting technique” with the help of the bvp4c package in MATLAB software. The effects of fluid controlling “parameters” on “flow and thermal fields” as well as “skin friction coefficient” and “Nusselt number” are presented graphically and explained physically. Due to enhanced rotation of the disk, the radial and azimuthal velocity of the fluid increase and the temperature of the fluid decreases. Most importantly, it is observed that when the disk rotates faster than the stretching rate, the temperature of the nanofluid decreases rapidly, which has wider applications for cooling purposes. It is also noted that when the suction parameter increases its value from −1 to 1, for Ag–water nanofluid, the “skin friction coefficient” decreases by 73.56%, and the Nusselt number also decreases by 24.11%, and for Fe₃O₄–water nanofluids, the “skin friction coefficient” decreases by 71.25% and the Nusselt number decreases by 24.47%.</p>","PeriodicalId":44939,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer","volume":"53 8","pages":"4876-4899"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve carbon neutrality, transportation is one of the most essential and important tasks. Energy-efficient pure electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) with green energy power are being developed in response to the worldwide energy and environmental crises, as the potential replacements for the current generation of combustion-engine automobiles. EVs require batteries more than ever before. In this perspective, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) stand out as remarkable energy storage technologies and have been widely used due to their numerous impressive benefits. Owing to LIBs sensitivity to temperature, EVs typically use the battery thermal management system (BTMS). The working temperature span of a lithium-ion battery in an electric car is 15°C–35°C, which is achieved by the use of a BTMS. The production of internal heat during charging and discharging also affects how well lithium-ion batteries work. A battery heat control system is therefore required. The temperature of the LIB pack might be efficiently controlled by liquid-cooled systems in discharge and charge scenarios. Based on Al₂O₃ nanofluid (NF), the current experimental study suggests a novel active cooling technology for regulating the heat produced by the 18650-format lithium-ion batteries. A thorough analysis is conducted on the impact of charge/discharge C-rates, Al₂O₃ nanoparticle (NP) volume fractions, inflow coolant velocity, and intake liquid temperature on the thermal efficiency of the LIB pack. By incorporating aluminum oxide NPs into the water at varying volume fractions of 0.3%, 0.5%, and 1%, the LIB pack's maximum temperature was significantly reduced by 7.9%, 18.09%, and 19.56%, respectively. With increase in mass flow rate of coolant from 0.0290 to 0.5810 kg/s, the maximum temperature has been substantially reduced by 3.7%–8.6%. Results show that using higher fluid inflow temperature significantly increased both the highest experienced temperature and temperature diversity throughout the discharge operation by about, 6°C and 5°C, respectively. The outcomes of the study indicate that NFs exhibit superior cooling performance compared to conventional coolants such as water and ethylene glycol.</p>","PeriodicalId":44939,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer","volume":"53 8","pages":"4798-4821"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
