Novel thermal aspects of hybrid nanoparticles Cu-TiO2 in the flow of ethylene glycol

Hybrid nanoparticles possess better chemical stability, mechanical resistance, thermal conductivity, physical strength and so forth as equated to pure nanoparticles. The present work describes the novel features of hybrid nanoparticles such as Titanium oxide (TiO2) and Copper (Cu) in the flow of Ethylene glycol (EG) under the induced magnetic field environment. The analysis covers the features of both pure nanofluid Cu/EG and hybrid nanofluid Cu-TiO2/EG. The concentration equation is amended by the activation energy term. The amalgamation of Cu-TiO2/EG exhibits improved and embellished thermal characteristics. A persuasive numerical technique named Successive over Relaxation is used to attain the numerical solutions of the problem. The outcomes have also been assessed in a comparison and, found to be in a good connection with the earlier ones. The significant impacts of prime parameters are physically interpreted and deliberated through graphs and tables. Heat transfer rate has been convincingly improved by pouring hybrid nano-composites (Cu-TiO2) into the base fluid Ethylene glycol (EG). From the outcomes of the problem, it is disclosed that higher the activation energy Ee lower will be the mass transfer rate and higher will be the concentration distribution.

Automated summary

Hybrid nanoparticles, compared to pure nanoparticles, exhibit better performance and improved thermal characteristics, which can enhance heat transfer rate and concentration distribution. Through numerical techniques and experimental comparisons, the study found significant improvements in the characteristics of titanium oxide and copper in ethylene glycol flow in hybrid nanocomposites.
