- Description
- The flow of ethylene glycol-based titania nanoliquid passing through a vertical plate induced by significant buoyancy forces (nonlinear convection) is analyzed with quadratic thermal radiation and considering the aggregation kinematics of the nanoparticles. The nanoliquid is modeled accounting for thermo-migration, Brownian motion, and the effectual thermophysical properties. The realistic zero mass flux and thermal slip conditions are considered on the surface of the plate. In addition, the mechanisms of exponential space-related heat source (ESHS) and thermal-based heat source (THS) are incorporated. The finite-difference technique-based bvp5c routine is used to obtain the numerical solution of thenonlinear system of equations. The effects of the parameters are examined on the dimensionless profiles of velocity, temperature, heat transport rate, the volume fraction of nanoparticles, and streamlines. It was found that the aggregation of nanoparticles significantly advances the temperature field while the velocity field is reduced. The ESHS and THS modulations improve the thickness of the thermal boundary layer. The quadratic thermal convection aspect improves the velocity of nanoliquid. Furthermore, the effects of quadratic thermal radiation assist the growth of the thermal boundary layer. The present results are relevant to various thermal systems including flat plate solar collectors, heat exchangers, and nuclear reactors. 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
