The positive performance augmentation can be realized at low flight Mach conditions, the coordination and trade-off relationships between specific impulse, performance augmentation ratio and thrust-to-area ratio during ejector mode are present by the Pareto-front from MOP analysis. It is further verified by CFD simulation that, the operating back-pressure at the exit of inlet-diffuser system functions a decisive influence on the airbreathing characteristics, the pressure feedback and matching should be well-controlled for secondary flowrate and performance augmentation.

In recent years, various techniques have been innovated to improve the thermal proficiency of the mini-channel heatsinks. Some of these are taking advantage of fins' structural designs and arrangements of inlets and outlets. The zigzag fins and channels were considered in the previous works in heatsinks, and researchers analyzed their cooling enhancement effects. However, in the present work, a combined cooling technique, considering new-type zigzag fins’ geometrical parameters (arrangement, length, and height) causes turbulence flow and higher convective heat transfer along with different positionings of flow inlet and outlets resulting in superior temperature uniformity, is proposed to evaluate their impacts on the cooling proficiency of the heat sink versus different Reynolds numbers. To assess the thermal and hydraulic performance of the proposed heatsink, different parameters, including temperature contours, Nusselt numbers, thermal resistance, and entropy generation are investigated. As a result, it is observed that in the case demonstrating the best thermal performance, the Nusselt number, pressure drop, thermal resistance, and entropy generation are respectively 37.13, 4586.46 Pa, 0.000078 m²·K/W, and 0.1078 W/K in the best header. As well, it is found that by changing the arrangements of inlets and outlets, the Nusselt number, and thermal resistance are improved by 12% and 13%, respectively.

This is because entropy analysis takes into account the quality of energy as well as its quantity. Nanofluids have already been shown to have superior heat transfer characteristics compared to conventional fluids. Stefan blowing can further enhance the heat transfer capabilities of nanofluids by increasing the mass flux and turbulence at the surface. This can be beneficial in a wide range of applications, such as heat exchangers, electronic cooling, and solar energy devices. The convective boundary condition accounts for heat transfer effects, influencing temperature distribution and the thermal boundary layer. Depending on the direction of heat transfer, the convective boundary condition can induce cooling or heating effects on the inclined plate. This has practical implications for various engineering applications, such as the cooling of electronic devices or heating in industrial processes. Carreau nanofluids have a wide range of potential applications in heat transfer, energy storage, drug delivery, and food processing. This research investigates how the presence of Stefan blowing affects the properties of Carreau nanofluid flow across a convectively heated tilted plate. Heat and mass transport phenomena are studied using quadratic thermal radiation and chemical reaction parameters. The mathematical model for this work is based on the Buongiorno model. The governing equations are converted into a system of ordinary differential equations and then solved using the bvp4c solver. Physical parameters such as the mass transfer rate can be visualized using bar graphs. The study's primary findings are that when the Weissenberg number increases, the velocity rises and the concentration profile declines due to Brownian motion.

Employing a sophisticated mathematical model, the study incorporates micropolar fluid dynamics, micro rotational effects, laminar flow characterized by the Darcy-Forchheimer model, inertia effects, and chemical reactions within a heat transfer system featuring boundary layer complexities. The mathematical framework consists of partial differential equations (PDEs), and the study utilizes advanced numerical techniques, including the (PC4-FDM) Predictor-Corrector Finite Difference Method and the shooting method, to solve these governing equations. The inclusion of quantized mesh points and analysis of convergence using 4th order finite difference methods enhances the precision of the obtained solutions. Various parameters are scrutinized to draw meaningful insights. The heterogeneous parameter reveals an increasing trend in fluid concentration, while the homogeneous parameter indicates a collision effect leading to a decrease in fluid concentration. The Eckert number, associated with viscous dissipation, exhibits a correlation with decreased fluid temperature and increased fluid velocity. Micro rotation parameters suggest a parallel increase in fluid velocity and a marginal decrease in fluid temperature. Notably, the Darcy-Forchheimer parameter, reflective of inertial effects, showcases an increase in fluid temperature and decrease in velocity in the convection system. Highlighting the industrial implications, the study underscores the significance of convection heat transfer systems in the context of industrialization.

The present cooling systems can be used in electronic cooling and PV modules. Perforated porous object (PPO) and sinusoidal porous object (SPO) are used in the jet cooling system. 2D numerical analysis using finite volume method is conducted considering different values of permeability of the objects (Darcy number (<em>Da</em>) between 10⁻⁶ and 10⁻¹).

Alumina-water nanofluid with cylindrical shaped nanoparticles is used as the heat transfer fluid. When permeability is changed for PPO, the average temperature increases by roughly 3.89 °C for a single cylinder and drops by roughly 0.57 °C for a six-cylinder cases.
