Summary: This study investigates the impact of nanofluid concentration on the natural convective flow of magnetic fluid in a sinusoidal cavity with variable wavelengths. The results show that the heat transfer rate, kinetic energy, and entropy generation increase with decreasing volume concentrations of nanofluid, while they are negatively affected by the magnetic field. The study also reveals that the Hartmann number has a significant effect on fluid flow, thermal parameters, and entropy generation. Furthermore, the Rayleigh number plays a notable role in entropy generation, with higher values resulting in higher entropy generation. Grade: 7/10

Summary: This essay examines the impact of magnetism amplitude on the two-dimensional squeezing nanoparticle stream between two equidistant sheets. It investigates the dimensionless values of various fluids and their influence on velocity and heat transfer parameters. Three mathematical techniques, AGM, HPM, and NUM, are used to solve the non-dimensional differential equations, and a comparison is made with the numeric approach. The results show that the Prandtl number affects temperature and concentration, while the Nusselt number is influenced by the permeability value and displacement is related to the heat transfer coefficient.

Summary: This study used the non-Newtonian Sisko model and UDF in Fluent to simulate blood flow behavior within stenosis arteries. The effects of different stenosis angles and artery radii on the Nusselt number and temperature of blood flow were studied. The results showed that increasing stenosis angles and reducing internal radius narrowed the artery, resulting in higher Nusselt number and lower temperature of blood flow. The application of different heat fluxes also led to significant temperature enhancements, which have important implications in medical science.

Summary: This study performs a linear stability analysis for the onset of internal convection in a composite air-porous layer, considering the strength of the heat source depending on the solid volume fraction. Different approaches are compared, and it is found that the solid volume fraction and relative depth of the air sublayer affect the onset of internal convection. The results show that local convection dominates when the solid volume fraction tends to unity, and a transition from local to large-scale convective flows occurs at some intermediate solid volume fraction.

Summary: This study successfully implemented the finite element method to complex mathematical models and investigated the impact of Sisko fluid and nano-structures on the stress-strain relationship. The results showed that the increase in shear stress and heat flux due to hybrid nanostructures was greater than that of mono nano-fluid, and the boundary layer thickness of the hybrid nanofluid was wider. The magnetic field caused drag on the surface and viscous dissipation contributed to increasing fluid temperature.

Summary: A three-dimensional numerical simulation was conducted to study fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular microchannel heat sink with arc grooves. Results show that adding grooves can enhance heat transfer in the microchannel but may increase the Poiseuille number; groove depth affects the performance of the microchannel at low Reynolds numbers, but has no significant effect on performance enhancement at high Reynolds numbers; groove configuration also plays a major role in enhancing the performance of the microchannel.

Summary: Reset controllers have the potential to improve the performance of high-precision industrial motion systems. However, analyzing the stability of these controllers is complex and requires the parametric model of the system, which may limit their applicability. This paper proposes a frequency-domain approach to assess the stability properties of control systems with first and second-order reset elements. The proposed approach can also determine the uniformly bounded-input bounded-state (UBIBS) property for reset control systems when resetting to non-zero values. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of using frequency response measurements to assess the stability properties of reset control systems.

Summary: In this paper, the vibration of an automobile suspension system was analyzed. The influence of tire pressure and arc angle, vehicle velocity, and road impact frequency on the tire stiffness and damping coefficient was considered. An experimental formula for the tire damping coefficient based on automobile velocity and impact frequency was proposed. The effects of the automobile's mass, mass moment of inertia, unsprung mass, and center of gravity on the amplitude and period of vibration were investigated.

Summary: This study analyzed a micro-polar nanofluid in a rotating system with electric and magnetic fields. The results showed that increasing the magnetic parameter led to an increase in velocity and micro-rotation velocity. Additionally, the velocity increased with increasing rotation parameter. The temperature distribution was affected by the inverse relationship between Reynolds and Schmidt numbers, as well as the direct effect of Prandtl number and Brownian motion. Furthermore, concentration value decreased with an increase in the thermophoretic parameter and Reynolds number. The study demonstrated the accuracy and efficiency of the method used.

Summary: This study conducted an experiment to identify the flow pattern and measure the void fraction of gas-liquid two-phase flow in an upward inclined channel. The experiment was carried out in a 30-meter channel with air and water as the fluid mixture. Three flow patterns were observed in the vertical section: slug, churn, or annular-mist flow. It was found that upstream impacts influenced the interactions and momentum transfer between the two phases, while downstream impacts determined the amount of backward flow caused by the formation of counter-current flow.

Summary: This paper investigates the thermal flow of an incompressible fluid, specifically focusing on non-Newtonian fluid flows with chemical reactions and heat sources. The study's application is fluid flow around a stretching sheet, which has relevance in polymer extrusion, drawing or plastic films, hot rolling, casting, and other engineering problems. The novelty of this paper lies in using a new and efficient semi-analytical approach, the Akbari-Ganji method (AGM), to solve the governing equations. The finite element method (FEM) is also applied for investigation, and the results show perfect agreement with previous research. Moreover, the results indicate that the Hartmann number and interaction parameters improve velocity profiles, and the fluid velocity decreases with an increase in the Hartmann number.

Summary: The interaction between magneto-hydrodynamic buoyant convection and radiation in a hexagonal enclosed space filled with SWCNTs/water nanoliquid was studied for the first time. The research examined the effects of various parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer, including Rayleigh number, heated region length, internal hexagonal body conditions, solid volume fraction, and radiation parameter. The results showed that the Nusselt number along the heated bottom wall increased with increasing Rayleigh number, while the stream function and Nu(out) decreased as the Hartmann number increased. The profiles of stream function, temperature, and velocity were highest in the heated condition, followed by the adiabatic condition, and lowest in the cold condition.

Summary: The article aims to solve the problem of mixed convection in a porous medium on the half-line by approximating multiple solutions using the quasilinearization method combined with the finite difference method. The nonlinear differential equation is transformed into a sequence of linear differential equations using the quasilinearization approach. The finite difference method is then applied at each iteration to find the approximate solutions. A beneficial scheme is presented to obtain appropriate initial guesses for computing both solutions. The convergence analysis is discussed in detail and numerical results are provided to validate the proposed iterative method.
