Comparative Analysis of Al2O3/Water–TiO2/Chlorophyll Hybrid Nanofluids in a Photovoltaic–Thermal Solar Water Heating System

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
TiO2/chlorophyll bio‐hybrid nanofluid achieved the highest PVT performance, increasing thermal efficiency to 38.74% and overall efficiency to 51.35%, compared with 35.96% and 48.45% for Al2O3/water and 27.77% and 40.18% for water. The results demonstrate the potential of bio‐hybrid nanofluids for high‐efficiency solar thermal energy conversion ...

Instability from steady and axisymmetric to steady and asymmetric floating half zone convection in a fat liquid bridge of larger Prandtl number

, 1999
The linear instability analysis of the present paper shows that the thermocapillary convection in a half floating zone of larger Prandtl number has a steady instability mode w(i) = 0 and m = 1 for a fat liquid bridge V = 1.2 with small geometrical aspect

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Finite Difference Analysis of Prandtl Number and Particle Volume Fraction Effects on Skin Friction and Heat Transfer in Buoyancy Driven Two-Phase Flow with Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)

East European Journal of Physics
A numerical investigation has been conducted on incompressible, laminar two-phase buoyancy driven flow containing suspended particles around a vertical plate. Despite the relevance of such systems, prior studies have largely overlooked natural convection

New Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method for Modeling Heat Transfer Problems Considering Temperature‐Dependent Properties

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Several engineering problems involve the need to model conjugate heat transfer processes considering the temperature‐dependence of the material properties. Consequently, a simulation tool capable of modeling this process is of great interest. In this context, the present work proposes a thermal lattice Boltzmann method (TLBM) for modeling the ...

Onset of zero Prandtl number convection

, 1992
The transition to convection in a zero Prandtl number fluid with stress-free and perfectly conducting boundaries differs significantly from finite Prandtl number convection, giving rise to a three-dimensional pattern. Two possible scenarios are described
