Summary: In this study, numerical simulations were conducted on the thermal characteristics and second-law analysis of turbulent Cu-H2O nanofluid flow in heat exchangers with transverse-cut twisted tapes (TCTTs) fitted by alternate axis. The simulations showed that TCTTs with a transverse-cut ratio of 0.7 generated higher turbulent kinetic energy compared to those with a ratio of 0.9, with an increase in nanofluid volume concentration leading to a reduction in thermal entropy generation.

Summary: This article examines the irreversibility of natural convection in water/copper nanofluids within a square enclosure. The study analyzes thermal entropy generation, frictional entropy generation, and total entropy generation by varying the Hartmann number, baffle thickness and length, and magnetic field angle. The numerical analysis is conducted using the Lattice Boltzmann method. Results show that increasing the Hartmann number reduces the velocity components and temperature gradient in the enclosure and decreases all types of entropy generation. Increasing the magnetic field angle enhances thermal and frictional entropy generation as well as total entropy generation, with the Bejan number initially decreasing and then increasing.

Summary: This study examines the mathematical formulations of hybrid nanoliquid filled with thermal radiation, Cattaneo-Christov heat theory and melting phenomenon in a rocket engine nozzle. By transforming the governing equations into a system of nonlinear ODEs using similarity transformations, the outcomes are obtained using the bvp4c method in MATLAB software, with physical flow characteristics shown against velocity, temperature, and entropy generation profiles. Velocity decreases with higher volume fraction of nanoparticles and melting parameter, while the thermal field decreases with variations in thermal relaxation and melting parameters, and increases with higher Biot number. The entropy generation profile increases with higher Reynolds number and Brinkman parameter, with this study being the first attempt to characterize melting phenomena and Cattaneo-Christov heat theory in a rocket engine nozzle using hybrid nanoparticles and kerosene as a base fluid.

Summary: This study analyzes the performance of graphene-platinum/water hybrid nanofluid flow in a cylindrical microchannel heat sink using the second law of thermodynamics. Increasing factors such as wave amplitude, nanoparticle concentration, and Reynolds number leads to a decrease in thermal entropy generation rate while frictional entropy increases. The Bejan number was found to be greater than 0.98 in all cases, indicating that irreversibility mainly results from thermal entropy generation. Evidently, increasing input variables reduces the thermal entropy generation rate. Additionally, an artificial neural network model was developed to predict entropy generation based on factors like wave amplitude, nanofluid concentration, and Reynolds number.

Summary: This study examines the entropy generation of alumina/water nanofluids flow in a two-dimensional rectangular enclosure using the Lattice Boltzmann method. The results show that increasing the distance of obstacles from the bottom wall improves the entropy generation and Bejan number, while increasing the height of obstacles also increases the entropy generation. However, increasing the Richardson number reduces the entropy generation. The Bejan number is higher in areas with greater temperature changes.

Summary: This study investigates the non-linear convective transport of Cross fluid in a microchannel under the non-linear Boussinesq approximation, considering the effects of internal heat source, Rosseland radiative heat flux, and frictional heating. The mathematical model is constructed and solved using the spectral quasi-linearization method, and graphical sketches are presented to explore the influence of various parameters on Bejan number, velocity, temperature, and entropy generation. The results show that the non-linear density temperature variation enhances Bejan number and entropy production, convective heating boundary conditions increase entropy production, and pressure gradient accelerates fluid transport in the microchannel. Among three different geometries, the vertical microchannel exhibits the highest velocity, entropy production, and temperature.

Summary: This study investigates the characteristics of hybrid nanofluid flow passing through a starching sheet with thermal radiation, including velocity, thermal field, and entropy profiles. The findings suggest that increasing the magnetic parameter reduces the velocity distribution but increases the temperature field and entropy production. Increasing the slip parameter decreases the velocity field. Additionally, the thermal field is enhanced with increasing radiation parameter, while the entropy profile is boosted with increasing Brinkman parameter values. These findings have significant implications for industries requiring local cooling and heating in electronic devices, heat sinks, and drying technologies.

Summary: A novel electromagnetic hydromagnetic dissipative second-grade nanofluid flow model is proposed to study the dynamics and thermodynamics behavior of copper-based ethylene glycol nanofluids under the influence of a horizontal electromagnetic actuator. The governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions are derived based on physical assumptions and experimental correlations. A robust generalized differential quadrature algorithm is used to solve the resulting ordinary differential equations and boundary conditions, and the influence of various factors on the flow control process and heat transport mechanism is investigated. The graphical results show that the loading process of nanoparticles has different dynamic and thermal impacts compared to the nanoparticles' diameter size, and the resistive dynamical effect of the electromagnetic actuator enhances the role of thermal radiative heat flux and Joule's heating process in the nanofluidic medium.

Summary: The prime motive of this case study is to investigate the enhancement in flow and thermal properties of water by adding carbon nanotubes and ferrite particles. A hexagonal enclosure with fillets at boundaries is considered for its physical significance in multiple heat exchange systems. The physical impact of a horizontal magnetic field and the adjustment of a heat circular cylinder are employed. The problem is formulated with necessary assumptions and boundary constraints in a dimensionless format. Thermophysical relations are utilized to explain the behavior of the distributions. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to solve the modelled problem and the results are presented through snapshots and tables. The comparison of single and muti walled carbon nanotubes shows the rising trend of the velocity field in the hydrodynamic case compared to the hydromagnetic case. The heat transfer rate is found to be higher in the Fe3O4/MWCNT/water hybrid nanofluid. Results and code validation tests are conducted to ensure the credibility of the work.
