Overview

Numerical simulation demonstrates boundary layer flow behavior of alumina-water nanofluids along an inclined plate, highlighting the influence of magnetic fields and nanoparticle sizing.

Key Points

  • To numerically examine the impact of magnetic fields, nanolayer thermal conductivity, and nanoparticle diameter on mixed convection boundary layer flow of an alumina-water nanofluid along an inclined permeable plate.
  • Modeled two-dimensional, steady mixed convection flow using the Boussinesq approximation for incompressible Al2O3–water nanofluids.
  • Solved the governing boundary layer equations using the finite element method across nanoparticle volume fractions between 1% and 4%.
  • Incorporated static thermal conductivity models at 300 K alongside classical and experimental formulations for effective dynamic viscosity.
  • Magnetic field strength and surface permeability significantly influence the velocity and thermal boundary layer profiles.
  • Effective heat transfer rates vary systematically with changes in nanoparticle diameter, volume fraction, and dynamic viscosity models.
