In this paper, the rheological behavior of engine oil containing various quantities of hybrid nano additives has been examined. The experiments were performed in the solid volume fraction range of 0-1.0% and temperatures ranging from 25 degrees C to 50 degrees C. Viscosity measurements, at the shear rate range of 1333-13,333 s(-1), showed that Al2O3-MWCNTs/SAE40 hybrid nanofluid had a Newtonian behavior at all solid volume fractions and temperatures considered. Experimental results also indicated that the viscosity of the hybrid nanofluid increased with increasing nano-additives concentration and decreasing temperature. Results of relative viscosity of the hybrid nanofluid showed that the maximum augmentation of the viscosity was about 46%. Results from sensitivity analysis of viscosity revealed that the viscosity sensitivity to temperature variation is minor, while it is more sensitive to the variations of solid volume fraction. Furthermore, an accurate correlation was proposed to predict the viscosity of the hybrid nanofluids for application in thermal engineering. Finally, the effects of nano-additives on the pumping power for the oil flow have been reported. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Natural convection in F-shaped cavity filled with Ag-water non-Newtonian nanofluid saturated with a porous medium and subjected to a horizontal periodic magnetic field

Ahmed Kadhim Hussein, Hameed Kadhem Hamzah, Farooq Hassan Ali, Masoud Afrand

Summary: Natural convection in an F-shaped cavity containing Ag-water non-Newtonian nanofluid saturated with a porous medium is numerically investigated. The study finds that the average Nusselt number increases with increasing solid volume fraction, Darcy number, and Rayleigh number, while it decreases with increasing power law index and Hartmann number. Furthermore, the relationship between the average Nusselt number and the periodic shape parameter depends on the values of the Rayleigh number and power law index.

A critical analysis on the energy and exergy performance of photovoltaic/ thermal (PV/T) system: The role of nanofluids stability and synthesizing method

Alireza Yazdani, Hossein Aberoumand, Yousef Farhadi, Abolfazl Ansari, Sadegh Aberoumand, Nader Karimi, Masoud Afrand, Goshtasp Cheraghian, Seyed Masoud Parsa, Hafiz Muhammad Ali

Summary: The main aim of this paper is to explore the effects of different nanofluid preparation methods on the performance of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems. The study found that nanofluid prepared using the one-step method had higher stability and improved energy performance compared to the two-step method. Increasing the concentration of nanofluid linearly increased system efficiencies, with the highest enhancement rate observed from 1% to 3% for two-step prepared nanofluid. It was also observed that system performance was higher in the turbulent-flow regime for two-step prepared nanofluid compared to the laminar-flow regime, which was attributed to the stability of the nanofluid.

A review on multi energy systems modelling and optimization

Giulia Manco, Umberto Tesio, Elisa Guelpa, Vittorio Verda

Summary: In the past decade, there has been a growing interest in studying energy systems for the combined management of power vectors. Most of the published works focus on finding the optimal design and operations of Multi Energy Systems (MES). However, for newcomers to this field, understanding how to achieve the desired optimization details while controlling computational expenses can be challenging and time-consuming. This paper presents a novel approach to analyzing the existing literature on MES, with the aim of guiding practical development of MES optimization. Through the discussion of six case studies, the authors provide a mathematical formulation as a reference for building the model and emphasize the impact of different aspects on the problem nature and solver selection. In addition, the paper also discusses the different approaches used in the literature for incorporating thermal networks and storage in the optimization of multi-energy systems.
