Thermodynamic analysis of radiating nanofluids mixed convection within concentric pipes filled with a porous medium

In this study, the entropy generation resulting from heat and mass transfer of waterbased nanofluid through an annulus within two concentric vertical pipes filled with a porous medium is investigated. This study considers the effects of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, thermal buoyancy, and axial pressure gradient in addition to heat and mass transfer. Brownian motion and thermophoresis have been introduced through the Buongiorno model. The similarity solution was used to solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The RungeKutta-Fehlberg method is used to solve these equations with the related boundary conditions. The effects of pertinent parameters such as pressure gradient, thermal radiation, viscosity parameter, thermophoretic parameter, Brownian motion parameter, and Eckert number are investigated numerically. This study found that the Bejan number increases as the viscosity parameter increases and decreases as the other active parameters increase. As the radiation parameter, thermophoretic parameter, Brownian parameter, and Eckert number increase, the Nusselt number decreases. The total entropy generation rate is found to increase with the fluid viscosity rate, Grashof number, thermal Biot number, and variable pressure gradient. However, the Bejan number is found to decrease with these parameters, as well as the Prandtl number.

Entropy analysis of a variable viscosity MHD Couette flow Between two concentric pipes with convective cooling

This paper addresses the combined effects of the magnetic field, thermal buoyancy force, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and temperature-dependent viscosity on the Couette flow of an incompressible conducting fluid between two concentric vertical pipes. It is assumed that convective cooling occurs at the surface of the outer moving pipe while the surface of the inner fixed pipe is maintained at a constant temperature. The nonlinear equations for momentum and energy are obtained and solved numerically using a shooting method coupled with the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration procedure. Relevant results depicting the effects of embedded thermophysical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction, the Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and the Bejan number are presented graphically and discussed. It is found that an increase in the magnetic field intensity boosts the entropy generation rate while an increase in convective cooling lessens it.
