Design/methodology/approach The present mathematical study investigates the blood flow behavior in the overlapped stenosed curved artery...

...Souad Marzougui; Fateh Mebarek-Oudina; Mourad Magherbi; Ali Mchirgui Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of Ha and the Nanoparticles (NP) volume fraction over the irreversibility and heat transport in Darcy–Forchheimer nanofluid saturated lid-driven porous medium...

... Al₂O₃ or Cu nanoparticles. Design/methodology/approach The study has been carried out for the Rayleigh numbers from 104 to 106 and the solid volume fraction from 0 to 0.05. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by the models of Chon and Brinkman, respectively...

... investigated by energy and exergy analysis method using a phase change material inserted 5 per cent weighted Al₂O₃ nanoparticle. Design/methodology/approach In this study, one of the three different PV panels was kept normally, the other one was filled with a phase changing material...

...M. Sheikholeslami; D.D. Ganji Purpose Nanofluid flow which is squeezed between parallel plates is studied using differential transformation method (DTM). The fluid in the enclosure is water containing different types of nanoparticles: Al₂O₃ and CuO. The effective thermal...

... model was proposed in which the nanoparticle population balance equation with respect to particle size was solved by the sectional method. Findings – It was found two modes appear when a nanoparticle system was injected by a continuous source. Originality/value – Through tracing...

...Dr Hong-Yan Liu and Dr Ji-Huan He; Zhaoqin Yin; Huijie Liu Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study nanoparticles diffusion and coagulation processes in a twin-jet. Design/methodology/approach – Large eddy simulation (LES) and Taylor-series expansion moment method (TEMOM...

... solved numerically for different values of the nanoparticle volume fraction, the mixed convection and the non-Darcy parameters using the bvp4c function from Matlab. A stability analysis has been also performed. Findings – Numerical results are obtained for the reduced skin-friction, heat transfer...
