These nanofluids have improved heat transfer capability for enhancing and maintaining the requirement for renewable and energy-efficient options. However, it is essential to model and study ternary hybrid nanofluids before their use in industry as heat-transferring fluids. In this numerical work, ternary hybrid nanofluids containing zinc, titanium dioxide, and aluminum oxide submerged in water are examined for stagnation point flow and heat transport properties. Meanwhile, the physical phenomenon for the mixed convection flow of tri-hybrid nanofluid induced by inclined shrinking cylinder is designed by considering influential physical factors in the form of Darcy-Forchheimer relation, Melting surface, and partial slip. The complexity of the produced partial differential equation model reduces into similarity differential equations by similarity transformation. The resulting equations are programmed in MATLAB and processed using the bvp4c function to attain the results graphically. According to the graphical results, two solutions are possible under a shrinking condition, and the flow separates inside this region. According to the numerical results, the first solution has a lower friction drag coefficient and significantly better heat transfer performance when melting is higher and the curvature parameter is increased. The outcomes show that the fluid temperature rapidly drops when a melting parameter intensification, while for radiation and Eckert strength, the thermal distribution increases. In this investigation, the results demonstrated a high degree of consistency with relevant published studies, while setting certain factors to zero lowers the present scenario to some of the existing difficulties in the literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"70 ","pages":"Article 106059"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143791884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the design incorporates high-temperature water electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which is then introduced into a hydrogen liquefaction process utilizing a Claude cycle for adequate long-term storage. The research employs thermodynamic, exergoeconomic, and net present value assessments, accompanied by an extensive parametric study and optimization process. Hence, a machine learning algorithm is implemented using artificial neural networks combined with the NSGA-II method for multi-criteria optimization, focusing on exergy efficiency, net present value, and products' sum unit cost as objective functions. The implemented optimization reduces the optimization time to under 30 min, which is significantly more efficient than traditional heuristic techniques, which typically require several hours for similar systems. This optimization framework is highly applicable to both industrial and district energy systems. This approach enhances predictive analytics and streamlines resource management. In industrial environments, it effectively optimizes energy use and production processes by examining various operational factors, which leads to cost reductions and improved efficiency via predictive maintenance and cohesive energy strategies.
