Thermal Management in Buongiorno Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Through Porous Media: Influence of Joule Heating, Magnetic Field and Entropy Generation
摘要
This study presents a numerical investigation of hybrid nanofluid flow based on the Buongiorno model, focusing on the combined effects of Joule heating, magnetic field, viscous dissipation, thermal slip, concentration slip and entropy generation within a porous medium. The hybrid nanofluid consists of water as the base fluid and a combination of copper and titanium dioxide nanoparticles, chosen for their superior thermal properties. This research is motivated by the need to enhance energy efficiency and optimize heat transfer in porous media applications such as cooling systems and heat exchangers. The mathematical model governing the fluid flow and heat transfer is formulated using boundary layer theory and solved using the shooting method coupled with a fourth-order Runge–Kutta algorithm. The pertinent parameters values are considered as:
