Title
Transient Nanofluid Flow And Energy Dissipation From Wavy Surface Using Magnetic Field And Two Rotating Cylinders
Abstract
The problem of transient Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) combined convection within a wavy-heated rectangular cavity having two inner cylinders is investigated using the non-homogeneous nanofluid scheme. The lower wavy surface of the cavity is kept at a constant hot temperature (T-h) while the upper flat surface is kept at a constant cold temperature (T-c). The remaining surfaces (vertical surfaces) are maintained adiabatic. An Al2O3/water nanofluid is filled inside the cavity and a non-homogeneous approach is adopted to solve governing equations by using the Galerkin method. The effect of some parameters such as the angular rotational speed, the volume fraction of nanoparticles, Hartmann number on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are examined. The results indicate that the waving of the hot base of the cavity enhances the Nusselt number. The maximal Nusselt numbers are obtained when the number of undulations N is 2, where the Nusselt number augments by 18% when N is boosted from 0 to 2 and by 16% from 0 to and 5. Also, the outcomes reveal that the enhancement of the Nusselt number as a result of raising the rotational speed of the two cylinders from 0 to +/- 500 is about 315%.
