Impact of discrete heating on thermal performance of Ag, Cu, and MWCNT nanofluids in square enclosure: A CFD analysis
This study investigates the complex interactions between Rayleigh number (103-106), nanoparticle concentration (0.1 vol%-0,5 vol%), and heating location in nanofluid-filled enclosures to enhance heat transfer efficiency and minimize irreversibilities. Focusing on water-based nanofluids containing silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a validated numerical model analyzes the impact of these variables on heat transfer characteristics and entropy generation. Results reveal a shift from conduction to convection-dominated heat transfer with increasing Rayleigh numbers, particularly at higher nanoparticle concentrations. Optimal conditions for buoyancy-driven circulation and Nusselt number are identified with discrete heating at Ld = 0.4 and 0.5 vol% Ag nanofluid, leading to improved heat transfer performance and reduced energy losses. The findings contribute to the design of advanced passive cooling systems, enhancing the efficiency and longevity of high-performance thermal applications.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
