Parametric Study of Magnetohydrodynamic-Assisted Heat Transfer in Nanofluid-Filled Corrugated Channels with Obstacles
摘要
The current study plays an important role in the heat exchangers industry that motivates the researchers to study it through different approach, experimental and numerical. This investigation is wholly numerical and its aim is to report the effect of multiple obstacles configurations in corrugated channel in the presence of nano-particles and magnetic field in forced convection heat transfer. Thus, the major goal of this work is to demonstrates the influence of four different configurations (MCL, ACL, BCL and SCL) of the corrugated channel to predict the best scenario in terms of the highest performance factor and enhancement ratio of transferred heat transfer. The results of the interactions between the corrugated channels with the obstacles and the nanofluids are useful in the designing of heat exchangers or cooling systems with advanced polymeric materials. The investigation contributes insights into the interaction between nanoparticles, magnetic fields, and geometrical enhancement for heat transfer, all of which are applicable to organic and organometallic polymeric materials. The numerical model was done using COMSOL software that it built based upon finite element method. The modelling covered a wide range of geometrical and operating parameters, Reynolds number
