Thermal optimization and magnetization of nanofluid under shape effects of nanoparticles

Abstract

The measurements of thermal transport are complex to optimize from high temperatures; this is because increased thermal-management performance have typically been accompanied for the sake of applicability in thermal barriers and heat dissipation. In this manuscript, an investigation for the flow of Brinkman nanofluid is carried out in which shapes of nanoparticles are suspended in ethylene glycol and their thermophysical properties have been emphasized. In order to have an optimized heat and mass transfer, the mathematical modeling is traced out for temperature, concentration and velocity profiles through non-singularized fractional technique. The analytical solutions for temperature, concentration and velocity profiles have been derived by invoking integral transforms. Special analytical solutions have been traced out for Stoke's first and second problems by varying boundary conditions of the problem. The rheological parameters have shown the pertinent effects on the basis of numerical variations and similarities. The results suggested that velocity of ethylene glycol-alumina is slower than ethylene glycol-copper, ethylene glycol-gold and ethylene glycol-silver during non-magnetization process.
