"Effects of Brownian motions and thermophoresis diffusions on the hematocrit and LDL concentration/diameter of pulsatile non-Newtonian blood in abdominal aortic aneurysm", Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 294.Effects of Brownian motions and thermophoresis diffusions on the hematocrit and LDL concentration/diameter of pulsatile non-Newtonian blood in abdominal aortic aneurysm(2021) Abbasi, Mohammad; Esfahani, Amin Nadimian; Golab, Ehsan; Golestanian, Omid; Ashouri, Nima; Sajadi, S. Mohammad; Ghaemi, Ferial; Baleanu, Dumitru; Karimipour, A.; 56389LDL concentration is believed to be responsible for plaque formation that leads to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We conducted this study to investigate the effects of hematocrits and LDL diameters on LDL concentration on the wall of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The blood flow was considered to be a pulsatile and non-Newtonian flow whose viscosity was a function of hematocrits and strain rate. Lumen, Brownian, and thermophoresis diffusions were analyzed in LDL concentration. The results demonstrated that adding thermophoresis diffusion increases LDL concentration. Moreover, among three types of LDLs, including small LDLs, intermediate LDLs, and large LDLs, small LDLs were the ones with the highest concentration at the wall of the aneurysm. Furthermore, the effects of vorticity on diffusions were examined; it could be noted that the maximum Brownian diffusion appeared in vorticity places. Our results indicated that Brownian diffusion declines as hematocrit reaches 45% whereas thermophoresis diffusion increases. The current simulation investigated the effects of hematocrits, vorticity, Brownian, and thermophoresis diffusions on LDL concentration on the wall. Three types of LDL were taken into account for investigation of the effects of the diameter and reference concentration on LDL concentration. The outcomes of this study could be summarized as the following: the maximum amount of the wall shear stress appeared at 0.2T and at the upstream end of the AAA; moreover, thermophoresis diffusion increased small LDL concentration by 26% on the wall for hematocrit 45%. © 2021Article Citation Count: Golab, Ehsan...et al.

"Investigation of the effect of adding nano-encapsulated phase change material to water in natural convection inside a rectangular cavity", Journal of Energy Storage, Vol. 40.Investigation of the effect of adding nano-encapsulated phase change material to water in natural convection inside a rectangular cavity(2021) Golab, Ehsan; Goudarzi, Sahar; Kazemi-Varnamkhasti, Hamed; Amigh, Hossein; Ghaemi, Ferial; Baleanu, Dumitru; Karimipour, Arash; 56389The present simulation aims to investigate adding NEPCM nanoparticles to water in the natural convection inside a cavity by using FVM method and SIMPLE algorithm. Nano-encapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) consists of a shell and core with phase change property. The NEPCM particles in base fluid have the ability to transfer heat by absorbing and dissipating heat in the liquid-solid phase change state. In this study, the energy wall phenomenon due to the phase change of NEPCM core has appeared that the whose energy transfer strength is proportional to the latent heat of NEPCM core and the thickness of the energy wall. Moreover, the relationship between the energy wall and the heat transfer rate is payed attention, and the effects of the energy wall parameters including strength, thickness, and event location of energy wall and volume fraction are studied on the energy wall and heat transfer rate. According to the obtained results, adding NEPCM to the water enhances its heat transfer up to 48% in order to increase heat capacity of water-NEPCM mixture. Also, best heat transfer rate happens when the energy wall is at the center of the cavity. Moreover, a relation is presented for the thermal expansion coefficient of NEPCM, which considers the effects of the thermal expansion coefficient of the core and shell material. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
