Article Synopsis
  • The research examines how thermophoretic particle deposition affects the flow of a ZnO-SAE50 nanolubricant in a channel that can stretch or shrink, while considering the influence of a magnetic field and nonlinear heat radiation.
  • It utilizes the Galerkin finite element method and an artificial neural network algorithm to analyze heat and mass transfer properties.
  • Results indicate that when the channel is stretched, there is an increase in flow velocity and heat production, while channel shrinkage leads to reduced thermal layers and potential cooling effects, highlighting important engineering applications.

Non-Newtonian fluids have unique heat transfer properties compared to Newtonian fluids. The present study examines the flow of a Maxwell nanofluid across a rotating rough disk under the effect of a magnetic field. Furthermore, the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is adopted to explore heat transport features.

This article focuses on a numerical investigation aimed at enhancing the electrical performance of a two-dimensional photovoltaic thermal system (PV/T) through the application of cooling using hybrid nanofluids. The hybrid nanofluids consist of titanium oxide and silver nanoparticles suspended in water, while the PV/T system is based on polycrystalline silicon, copper, and a flow channel with a rotating cylinder. PV/T devices generate electricity from sunlight, but their performance degrades over time due to the heat generated by solar radiation.
