The Impact of Nanofluid on Natural Convection in an Isosceles Rectangular Container with a Heat Source

Abstract:

The development of modern technology in microelectronics and power engineering requires the creation of efficient cooling systems. This is made possible by the use of special fin technology inside the cavity or special heat transfer Ethylene glycol-copper nanofluids to intensify the heat removal from the heat-generating elements. A numerical study of the natural convection of stationary laminar heat transfers in a closed rectangular cavity with a local source of internal volumetric heat generation. For different Rayleigh numbers and different volume fractions of nanoparticles. The system of equations governing the problem was solved numerically by the fluent computer code based on the method of finite volumes. Based on the Boussinesq approximation. Interior and exterior surfaces are maintained at a constant temperature. The study is carried out for Rayleigh numbers ranging from 10⁴ to 10⁶. The effects of different Rayleigh numbers and volume fractions of nanoparticles on natural convection have been studied. The results are presented as isotherms, isocurrents, and local and mean Nusselt numbers. The aim of this study is to see the influence of the thermal Rayleigh number and the volume fraction of the nanoparticles on the rate of heat transfer.
