Abstract:
Using thermal sources with nanoparticles can change the thermal and velocity distribution and the streamline around solid objects in mechanical devices. In the current study, square-shaped thermal structures are used in the cavity, while the fluid in the domain is fully contaminated with nanoparticles to enhance the heat- and mass-transfer distribution within the system. The connection of thermal elements is installed with equal distance in the domain, and then the nanoparticle is added in the container to improve the heat-transfer rate. The nanofluid is simulated using Cubic-Interpolated Pseudo-particle (CIP) model in the domain with different concentrations. The study shows that the sequence of hot wall structure can disturb the flow as well as thermal distribution. However, a very small streamline can be generated during heat transfer. As a result of thermal structure in the domain, the zero velocity zone in the domain can move to other parts of the cavity. This disturbance can change the heating mechanism in the system, which results in a better rate of heat-transfer characteristics in the system and process engineering. Also, the CIP computing method shows great ability in the modeling of sharp walls/structures with thermal sources.
