The use of various shapes of the same nanoparticle can have major impact on the HTC. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the impact of particle shape (Brick and Platelet) and Reynolds (Re) number (4,500, 6,000, 7,500, and 9,000) on the HTC of nanofluid in the heated tube was carried out in accordance with Taguchi method. Heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt (Nu) number, performance evaluation criteria, and average static pressure drop were chosen as HTC. CFD analyses for 1% Fe<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> nanofluids in ANSYS Fluent software were performed in accordance with L8 orthogonal array. Particle shape and Re number were selected as the first and second factors, respectively. Signal/noise analysis was used to decide optimum levels and impact direction on HTC for each factor, whereas analysis of variance was implemented to define the importance levels and percentage impact ratios of the factors. According to the results obtained from the study, the nanofluids with platelet nanoparticles have a higher impact on the heat transfer coefficient compared to Brick nanoparticles. Although the increase in the Re number causes an increase in the heat transfer coefficient, Nu number, and average static pressure drop, it does not have any effect on the performance evaluation criteria. The results obtained from this study can be used as a guidance for experimental studies.","PeriodicalId":48710,"journal":{"name":"Open Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an enhanced exponential time integrator approach to dynamically simulate non-Newtonian boundary layer flow with spatially and temporally varying heat sources. We propose an explicit scheme with second-order accuracy in time, demonstrated to be stable through Fourier series analysis, for solving time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs). Utilizing this scheme, we construct and solve dimensionless PDEs representing the flow of Williamson fluid under the influence of space- and temperature-dependent heat sources. The scheme discretizes the continuity equation of incompressible fluid and Navier–Stokes, energy, and concentration equations using the central difference in space. Our analysis illuminates how factors affect velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Specifically, we observe a rise in temperature profile with enhanced coefficients of space and temperature terms in the heat source. Non-Newtonian behaviours and geographical/temporal variations in heat sources are critical factors influencing overall dynamics. The novelty of our work lies in developing an explicit exponential integrator approach, offering stability and second-order accuracy, for solving time-dependent PDEs in non-Newtonian boundary layer flow with variable heat sources. Our results provide valuable quantitative insights for understanding and controlling complex fluid dynamics phenomena. By addressing these challenges, our study advances numerical techniques for modelling real-world systems with implications for various engineering and scientific applications.","PeriodicalId":48710,"journal":{"name":"Open Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141192632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore the characteristics of acoustic streaming in the cylindrical tube array field under the action of an acoustic wave, we derive the dimensionless acoustic streaming control equation and establish a numerical calculation model of acoustic streaming. The effects of acoustic incidence angle, acoustic Reynolds number, and Strouhal number on the acoustic streaming vortex flow field in the tube array were investigated. The numerical results show that with the change in acoustic parameters, the acoustic streaming in the tube array presents rich changes in the vortex flow field, and there are flow field phenomena such as shrinking, merging, tearing, and splitting of the vortex structure. Toward the walls of each tube, there is a strong acoustic streaming flow velocity. Besides, there is also a large streaming velocity on the interface of the adjacent acoustic streaming vortices. The inner streaming vortex structure in the acoustic boundary layer decreases with the increase in the acoustic Reynolds number, but the intensity of the inner streaming vortex and outer streaming vortex increases rapidly, and the disturbance effect of the flow field is enhanced. With the increase in the dimensionless acoustic frequency (or Strouhal number), although the structure and intensity of the inner streaming vortex decrease, the velocity gradient on the wall of the cylindrical tube increases, which is beneficial to destroy the flow boundary layer of the cylindrical tube wall and accelerate the instability of the wall flow field.","PeriodicalId":48710,"journal":{"name":"Open Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141147285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
