Nanofluids' thermal assessment: Active and passive control approach

Abstract

The nanofluids are decomposition of nano-sized metallic particles with base materials maintaining peak thermal properties. Owing to enhanced thermal features, various applications of nanofluids are observed in enhancing energy resources and cooling processes. The objective of current work is exploring the thermal impact of nanofluid associated to the oblique stagnation point flow. The thermal interpretation of nanofluid is subject to active and passive control approach. The heat trnasfer analysis is identified by using convective thermal flow constraints. The Buongiorno nanofluid model is adopted, endorsing the Brownian and thermophoresis consequences. The flow problem is first simplfied intodimensionless form. The numerical computations are performed by using famous shooting scheme with justifiable accuracy. A comparative change in the thermal phenomenon given the passive and active frameworks is presented. It is exmained that heat transfer reduces for stretching ratio parameter. The concentration profile reduces for angle of incidence for both active and passive control approach.
