Al2o3 and Γal2o3 Nanomaterials Based Nanofluid Models With Surface Diffusion: Applications for Thermal Performance in Multiple Engineering Systems and Industries

Abstract

Thermal transport investigation in colloidal suspensions is taking a significant research direction. The applications of these fluids are found in various industries, engineering, aerodynamics, mechanical engineering and medical sciences etc. A huge amount of thermal transport is essential in the operation of various industrial production processes. It is a fact that conventional liquids have lower thermal transport characteristics as compared to colloidal suspensions. The colloidal suspensions have high thermal performance due to the thermophysical attributes of the nanoparticles and the host liquid. Therefore, researchers focused on the analysis of the heat transport in nanofluids under diverse circumstances. As such, the colloidal analysis of H2O composed by gamma Al2O3 and Al2O3 is conducted over an elastic cylinder. The governing flow models of gamma Al2O3/H2O and Al2O3/H2O is reduced in the dimensionless form by adopting the described similarity transforms. The colloidal models are handled by implementing the suitable numerical technique and provided the results for the velocity, temperature and local thermal performance rate against the multiple flow parameters. From the presented results, it is shown that the velocity of Al(2)O3-H2O increases promptly against a high Reynolds number and it decreases for high-volume fraction. The significant contribution of the volumetric fraction is examined for thermal enhancement of nanofluids. The temperature of Al2O3-H2O and gamma Al2O3-H-2O significantly increases against a higher phi. Most importantly, the analysis shows that gamma Al2O3-H2O has a high local thermal performance rate compared to Al2O3-H2O. Therefore, it is concluded that gamma Al2O3-H2O is a better heat transfer fluid and is suitable for industrial and technological uses.
