- Description
- Multilayer fluid flow models are significant in various applications, namely, cooling electronic systems, solar thermal systems, and nuclear reactors. The density of a fluid fluctuates nonlinearly due to large temperature difference circumstances in thermal systems. Thus, the linear Boussinesq approximation is no longer relevant. Therefore, this article describes a multilayer flow of nanoliquids in the presence of nonlinear Boussinesq approximation. The hybrid nanoliquid layer is sandwiched between two nanoliquid layers. The single-phase khanafer-vafai-lightstone model is implemented to simulate the nanoliquids. The quadratic density temperature fluctuation and viscous heating are taken into account. The temperature and velocity across the interface are assumed to be continuous. The equations that govern the problem are solved analytically by using the differential transformation method. The results show that the presence of a hybrid nanoliquid layer affects the velocity and heat transfer properties of the nanofluid flow. Hybrid nanofluid can be used to achieve the desired multilayer flow properties of a nanofluid and its heat transfer properties. Further, the quadratic convection aspect increases the velocity distributions. 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC
