Evaluation of a Volume-Averaged Species Transport Model with Micro-Macro Coupling for Breakthrough Curve Prediction.

In porous water filters, the transport and entrapment of contaminants can be modeled as a classic mass transport problem, which employs the conventional convection-dispersion equation to predict the transport of species existing in trace amounts. Using the volume-averaging method (VAM), the upscaling has revealed two possible macroscopic equations for predicting contaminant concentrations in the filters. The first equation is the classical convection-dispersion equation, which incorporates a total dispersion tensor. The second equation involves an additional transport coefficient, identified as the adsorption-induced vector. In this study, the aforementioned equations were solved in 1D for column tests using 3D unit cells. The simulated breakthrough curves (BTCs), using the proposed micro-macro-coupling-based VAM model, are compared with the direct numerical simulation (DNS) results based on BCC-type unit cells arranged one-after-another in a daisy chain manner, as well as with three previously reported experimental works, in which the functionalized zeolite and zero-valent iron fillings were used as an adsorbent to remove phosphorous and arsenic from water, respectively. The disagreement of VAM BTC predictions with DNS and experimental results reveals the need for an alternative closure formulation in VAM. Detailed investigations reveal time constraint violations in all the three cases, suggesting this as the main cause of VAM's failure.

Investigation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method for modeling of two-phase flow through porous medium: application for drainage and imbibition processes.

The drainage and imbibition processes are critical mechanisms in petroleum engineering. These processes in a porous medium are controlled by surface forces and pressure gradients. The study of these processes in the pore scale by common simulators always has limitations in multiphase flow modeling. Also, obtaining relative permeability curves through laboratory analysis requires expensive equipment. Additionally, these laboratory experiments are quite expensive and may introduce significant uncertainties. For this purpose, this study investigated the creation of relative permeability curves and their effect on oil production. Initially, single-phase fluid and two-phase droplet flow within a fracture with both soft and rough surfaces were utilized to validate the formulation of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Then, by using three randomly constructed porous medium models, the imbibition and drainage processes have been studied. Finally, sensitivity study has been carried out on critical parameters related to fluid flow dynamics in the porous environment, including pressure changes, wettability, and heterogeneity in drainage and imbibition processes. The simulation results were consistent with current theories; therefore, it is reasonable to consider SPH to characterize the fluid flow dynamic during the drainage and imbibition processes. According to sensitivity studies, pressure gradient (residual saturation of displaced fluid is about 5.65% and 8.44%) and heterogeneity (the residual saturation of the displaced fluid was 4.04% and 2.98%) have the largest impact on flow modeling in both drainage and imbibition processes and wettability (the residual saturation became 36.62% and 5.12%) has significant effect on the drainage process through porous medium. In general, fluid flow dynamic studies can be performed using the SPH method to model fluid flow in simple and complex porous medium under various flow conditions. The SPH method can also be used as an applicable tool to investigate the hydrocarbon fluids flow within larger geometries in the future.

Data analysis of thermal performance and irreversibility of convective flow in porous-wavy channel having triangular obstacle under magnetic field effect.

Mixed convective nanofluid flow has substantial importance in improvement of thermal performance, and thermal engineering to meet the global energy crisis. In this study, mixed convective nanofluid flow in a porous-wavy channel with an inner heated triangular obstacle under magnetic field effect is numerically examined. Nanofluid within the channel is heated and cooled from its bottom and top wavy-surfaces. A heated triangular cylinder is located at the centerline of the wavy-channel. Finite element method is utilized to solve the non-dimensional governing equations. The code is validated comparing present results with published numerical and experimental results. The response surface method is also implemented to analyze the obtained results and its sensitivity. The numerical results indicate that strength of flow velocity is accelerated with rising Reynolds number, Darcy numbers and inlet-outlet ports length but declined for Hartmann number and volume fraction. Heat transferring rate and heat transfer irreversibility are substantially increased for higher values of Reynolds number, inlet-outlet ports length, Darcy number and nanoparticle volume fraction but a reverse trend is occurred for magnetic field effect. The thermal performance is found significantly improved with simultaneous increment in Re, ϕ, Da and decrement in Ha. Positive sensitivity is achieved for input factors Re, ϕ, Da in computing N u a v while negative sensitivity to Ha. Heat transfer rate is found more sensitive to the impact of Re and ϕ compared to Da and Ha. 45.59 % more heat transmission potentiality is developed for using Al2O3-H2O nanofluid (vol.5 %) instead of using base fluid water. Heat transfer enhancement rate is decreased by 36.22 % due to impact of magnetic field strength. In addition, 84.12 % more heat transferring rate is recorded in presence of triangular obstacle. Moreover, irreversibility components are influenced significantly for the presence of heated triangular obstacle. Bejan number is also found declined for increasing physical parameters. The findings of this investigation may offer a guideline for finding experimental results to design high-performance convective heat exchangers.

Analytical solution for MHD nanofluid flow over a porous wedge with melting heat transfer.

This study employs the Hybrid Analytical-Numerical (HAN) method to investigate steady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid flow over a permeable wedge. Analyzing hyperbolic tangent nanofluid flow, the governing time-independent partial differential equations (PDEs) for continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration transform into a set of nonlinear third-order coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through similarity transformations. These ODEs encompass critical parameters such as Lewis and Prandtl numbers, Brownian diffusion, Weissenberg number, thermophoresis, Dufour and Soret numbers, magnetic field strength, thermal radiation, power law index, and medium permeability. The study explores how variations in these parameters impact the velocity field, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers. Noteworthy findings include the sensitivity of fluid velocity to parameters like Weissenberg number, power law index, wedge angle, magnetic field strength, permeability, and melting heat transfer. The skin friction coefficient experiences a significant increase with specific parameter changes, while Nusselt and Sherwood numbers remain relatively constant. The local Reynolds number significantly affects Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, with a less pronounced impact on the skin friction coefficient. The study's uniqueness lies in employing the analytical HAN method and extracting recent insights from the results.

Comparative study of hybrid, tri-hybrid and tetra-hybrid nanoparticles in MHD unsteady flow with chemical reaction, activation energy, Soret-Dufour effect and sensitivity analysis over Non-Darcy porous stretching cylinder.

Present study investigates influence of Soret-Dufour effects on MHD unsteady flow of a tetra-hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3, Cu, SiO2 and TiO2 with base fluid water) within non-Darcy porous stretching cylinder. Additionally, chemical reaction, activation energy, and heat generation are considered. This research contributes to the understanding of how these nanofluids can optimize heat and mass transfer process in applications such as advanced cooling systems, solar collectors, biomedical devices, and chemical reactors. Tetra-hybrid nanofluids are selected as per novel aspects for their exceptional ability to adapt their properties for diverse applications, including advanced thermal management systems and scenarios requiring high thermal and electrical conductivity. The comparison between hybrid, tri-hybrid, and tetra-hybrid nanofluids serves to evaluate how increasing complexity and diversity in nanoparticle combinations impact thermal and flow characteristics. The prevailing PDE's undergo transformation into nonlinear ODE's through the utilization of similarity variables and numerically solved using fifth order Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method with shooting method. It is established that rising unsteady parameter values result in increasing velocity profile and rising shape factor parameter result in higher heat transfer. Specifically, the Nusselt number increases by 24 % in the tri-hybrid and 11 % in the tetra-hybrid with a higher Soret number, whereas the Sherwood number decreases by 38 % in the tri-hybrid and 26 % in the tetra-hybrid nanofluid. Employing sensitivity analysis, this study also aims to investigate impact of output responses such as local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number on input parameter Dufour number, Soret number and chemical reaction parameter for tri-hybrid and tetra-hybrid nanofluid. It is found out that Dufour number in tetra-hybrid nanofluid has the more significant impact on the Nusselt number, whereas the Soret number predominantly affects the Nusselt number in tri-hybrid nanofluid. These findings underscore the potential of tetra-hybrid nanofluid in enhancing the performance of various industrial and environmental processes.

Aided Porous Medium Emulsification for Functional Hydrogel Microparticles Synthesis.

Despite the substantial advancement in developing various hydrogel microparticle (HMP) synthesis methods, emulsification through porous medium to synthesize functional hybrid protein-polymer HMPs has yet to be addressed. Here, the aided porous medium emulsification for hydrogel microparticle synthesis (APME-HMS) system, an innovative approach drawing inspiration from porous medium emulsification is introduced. This method capitalizes on emulsifying immiscible phases within a 3D porous structure for optimal HMP production. Using the APME-HMS system, synthesized responsive bovine serum albumin (BSA) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) HMPs of various sizes are successfully synthesized. Preserving protein structural integrity and functionality enable the formation of cytochrome c (cyt c) - PEGDA HMPs for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection at various concentrations. The flexibility of the APME-HMS system is demonstrated by its ability to efficiently synthesize HMPs using low volumes (≈50 µL) and concentrations (100 µm) of proteins within minutes while preserving proteins' structural and functional properties. Additionally, the capability of the APME-HMS method to produce a diverse array of HMP types enriches the palette of HMP fabrication techniques, presenting it as a cost-effective, biocompatible, and scalable alternative for various biomedical applications, such as controlled drug delivery, 3D printing bio-inks, biosensing devices, with potential implications even in culinary applications.

Effect of boundary slips and magnetohydrodynamics on peristaltic mechanism of Jeffrey nanofluid along with microorganisms through a porous medium.

The development on entropy generation in fluid flows has applications in many medical equipment such as cryogenic devices and therapeutic heat apparatus. This study looks at how porous medium, multi-slips, and entropy formation affect the pumping of Jeffrey nanofluid flow through an asymmetric channel containing motile microorganims. A lubrication theory is used to neglect the fluctuation effects in the flow. Numerical simulations are utilized to generate data for specific physical features of the problem utilizing the Shooting approach on Mathematica. Following a thorough research, it is appropriate to conclude that the porous medium's permeability reduces flow speed along the walls while increases at the center of the flow region. Graphical representation of the results further reveals that entropy production can be decreased by including high thermal slip and low viscous slip elements. It is also worth noting that the Brinkman number reduces the thermal distribution in the flow while it helps in increasing the flow speed.

Heat transfer innovation of engine oil conveying SWCNTs-MWCNTs-TiO2 nanoparticles embedded in a porous stretching cylinder.

The influence of boundary layer flow of heat transfer analysis on hybrid nanofluid across an extended cylinder is the main focus of the current research. In addition, the impressions of magnetohydrodynamic, porous medium and thermal radiation are part of this investigation. Arrogate similarity variables are employed to transform the governing modelled partial differential equations into a couple of highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A numerical approach based on the BVP Midrich scheme in MAPLE solver is employed for solution of the set of resulting ordinary differential equations and obtained results are compared with existing literature. The effect of active important physical parameters like Magnetic Field, Porosity parameter, Eckert number, Prandtl number and thermal radiation parameters on dimensionless velocity and energy fields are employed via graphs and tables. The velocity profile decreased by about 65% when the magnetic field parameter values increases from 0.5 to 1.5. On the other hand increased by 70% on energy profile. The energy profile enhanced by about 62% when the Radiation parameter values increases from 1.0 < Rd < 3.0. The current model may be applicable in real life practical implications of employing Engine oil-SWCNTs-MWCNTs-TiO2 nanofluids on cylinders encompass enhanced heat transfer efficiency, and extended component lifespan, energy savings, and environmental benefits. This kind of theoretical analysis may be used in daily life applications, such as engineering and automobile industries.

Biological invasion with a porous medium type diffusion in a heterogeneous space.

The knowledge of traveling wave solutions is the main tool in the study of wave propagation. However, in a spatially heterogeneous environment, traveling wave solutions do not exist, and a different approach is needed. In this paper, we study the generation and the propagation of hyperbolic scale singular limits of a KPP-type reaction-diffusion equation when the carrying capacity is spatially heterogeneous and the diffusion is of a porous medium equation type. We show that the interface propagation speed varies according to the carrying capacity.

Free convection in a square wavy porous cavity with partly magnetic field: a numerical investigation.

Natural convection in a square porous cavity with a partial magnetic field is investigated in this work. The magnetic field enters a part of the left wall horizontally. The horizontal walls of the cavity are thermally insulated. The wave vertical wall on the right side is at a low temperature, while the left wall is at a high temperature. The Brinkman-Forchheimer-extended Darcy equation of motion is utilized in the construction of the fluid flow model for the porous media. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to solve the problem's governing equations, and the current study was validated by comparing it to earlier research. On streamlines, isotherms, and Nusselt numbers, changes in the partial magnetic field length, Hartmann number, Rayleigh number, Darcy number, and number of wall waves have been examined. This paper will show that the magnetic field negatively impacts heat transmission. This suggests that the magnetic field can control heat transfer and fluid movement. Additionally, it was shown that heat transfer improved when the number of wall waves increased.

Computational modelling of micropolar blood-based magnetised hybrid nanofluid flow over a porous curved surface in the presence of artificial bacteria.

This work provides a brief comparative analysis of the influence of heat creation on micropolar blood-based unsteady magnetised hybrid nanofluid flow over a curved surface. The Powell-Eyring fluid model was applied for modelling purposes, and this work accounted for the impacts of both viscous dissipation and Joule heating. By investigating the behaviours of Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in blood, we aimed to understand the intricate phenomenon of hybridisation. A mathematical framework was created in accordance with the fundamental flow assumptions to build the model. Then, the model was made dimensionless using similarity transformations. The problem of a dimensionless system was then effectively addressed using the homotopy analysis technique. A cylindrical surface was used to calculate the flow quantities, and the outcomes were visualised using graphs and tables. Additionally, a study was conducted to evaluate skin friction and heat transfer in relation to blood flow dynamics; heat transmission was enhanced to raise the Biot number values. According to the findings of this study, increasing the values of the unstable parameters results in increase of the blood velocity profile.

The synergistic effect of typical chiral organic acids and solution chemistry conditions on the transport of 2-arylpropionic acid chiral derivatives in porous media.

The hazards of man-made chiral compounds are of great public concern, with reports of worrying stereoselective compounds and an urgent need to assess their transport. This study evaluated the transport of 2-arylpropionic acid derivatives enantiomers (2-APA) in porous media under a variety of solution chemistry conditions via column packing assays. The results revealed the introduction of Malic acid (MA) enantiomers enhanced the mobility of 2-APA enantiomers, but the enhancement effect was different for different 2-APA enantiomers. Batch sorption experiments confirmed that the MA enantiomers occupied the sorption site of the quartz sand, thus reducing the deposition of the 2-APA enantiomer. Homo- or heterochirality between 2-APA and MA dominates the transport of 2-APA enantiomers, with homochirality between them triggering stronger retention and vice versa. Further evaluating the effect of solution chemistry conditions on the transport of 2-APA enantiomers, increased ionic strength attenuated the mobility of 2-APA enantiomers, whereas introduced coexisting cations enhanced the retention of 2-APA enantiomers in the column. The redundancy analyses corroborated these solution chemistry conditions were negatively correlated with the transport of 2-APA enantiomers. The coupling of pH and these conditions reveals electrostatic forces dominate the transport behavior and stereoselective interactions of 2-APA enantiomers. Distinguishing the transport of enantiomeric pair helps to understand the difference in stereoselectivity of enantiomers and promises to remove the more hazardous one.

Cattano Christov double diffusion model for third grade nanofluid flow over a stretching Riga plate with entropy generation analysis.

The current investigation delves into the convective heat and mass transfer characteristics of third-grade radiative nanofluid flow within a porous medium over a Riga plate configuration. The Riga plate structure incorporates magnets and electrodes strategically arranged on a plate surface. To enhance the accuracy of energy and concentration expressions within the third-grade fluid flow, the Cattano Christov Double Diffusion model is employed. Entropy generation analysis is conducted by applying the second law of thermodynamics, and Darcy's model is employed to characterize the behavior of a porous medium. Appropriate similarity transformations have been used to convert the partial differential equations monitoring the fluid flow model into dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The Galerkin weighted residual method is employed to resolve these equations numerically. The findings contain detailed explanations of how relevant factors affect the temperature field, concentration field, velocity field, entropy generation, and Bejan number, in addition to graphic representations of the results. The findings indicate that the medium's porosity and Brinkman number promote entropy generation. The Bejan number and entropy production is affected by the thermal radiation parameter, which first rises and then declines after a certain distance.

For solution methodology, the numerical simulations are worked out via shooting technique. The physical aspects of parameters are discussed. It is claimed that suggested results claim applications in the petroleum sciences, thermal systems, heat transfer devices etc. It has been claimed that the velocity profile increases due to Bingham parameter and Philippoff constant. Lower heat and mass transfer impact is observed due to Philippoff parameter.

Flow in temporally and spatially varying porous media: a model for transport of interstitial fluid in the brain.

Flow in a porous medium can be driven by the deformations of the boundaries of the porous domain. Such boundary deformations locally change the volume fraction accessible by the fluid, creating non-uniform porosity and permeability throughout the medium. In this work, we construct a deformation-driven porous medium transport model with spatially and temporally varying porosity and permeability that are dependent on the boundary deformations imposed on the medium. We use this model to study the transport of interstitial fluid along the basement membranes in the arterial walls of the brain. The basement membrane is modeled as a deforming annular porous channel with the compressible pore space filled with an incompressible, Newtonian fluid. The role of a forward propagating peristaltic heart pulse wave and a reverse smooth muscle contraction wave on the flow within the basement membranes is investigated. Our results identify combinations of wave amplitudes that can induce either forward or reverse transport along these transport pathways in the brain. The magnitude and direction of fluid transport predicted by our model can help in understanding the clearance of fluids and solutes along the Intramural Periarterial Drainage route and the pathology of cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Numerical simulation of the flow of a tangent hyperbolic fluid over a stretching sheet within a porous medium, accounting for slip conditions.

This study aims to explore the characteristics of tangent hyperbolic fluid flow along a stretching sheet. The sheet has suction or injection influences and is located inside a porous medium. The research inspects the flow and heat transfer (FHT) properties, taking into account the presence of a velocity slip condition. The flow of non-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic fluid caused by a porous stretching sheet, taking into account thermal radiation and heat generation, has a wide range of engineering applications. These applications involve chemical reactors, energy distribution, storage of solar energy, and filtration processes. Mathematically, the flow problem is expressed as a collection of nonlinear partial differential equations. To numerically solve the resulting ODEs, the finite difference approach (FDM) is successfully used. Tables and graphs are used to display the various output values related to the hyperbolic tangent fluid. Among the different output values that appear are velocity and temperature. Significant observations from the study indicate that an increase in the power-law index, slip velocity parameter, porosity parameter, and magnetic number results in a decrease in the fluid's velocity and an increase in temperature. The completed comparison analysis shows a sizable degree of agreement with the earlier investigation.

Entropy optimization of lid-driven micropolar hybrid nanofluid flow in a partially porous hexagonal-shaped cavity with relevance to energy efficient storage processes.

Hydromagnetically associated heat convection can greatly enhance the performance of high-efficiency thermal appliances and renewable energy sources through an optimized design. This investigation examines the production of thermodynamic irreversibility and heat convection for a double lid-driven flow within a partially porous stratified hexagonal enclosure. The top and bottom-wall are moving in the opposite direction with an equal velocity U0. The top-wall and the bottom-wall are kept at temperature Tc and Th (Th  >  Tc) while the slanted walls are assumed to be thermally insulated. A constant magnetic field is employed in the horizontal x-direction. The hexagonal cavity was filled with a micropolar hybrid nanofluid Ag-MgO/water. The system of dimensionless equations was solved by the finite difference method (FDM) associated with successive over-relaxation (SOR), successive under-relaxation (SUR), and Gauss-Seidel iteration tactics and required results are computed with problem specific program in MATLAB code. The results indicate that the Ra and the thickness of the porous layer (Xp) significantly influences heat convection and thermal irreversibility processes. The Nuavg and STotal rises 6.299% and 3.373% as ' ϕ hnf ' enhances from 0 to 4%, respectively. Furthermore, as the values of Ra, Ha, K0, and ϕ hnf increase, Beavg experiences a decline of 53.73%, 11.04%, 38.36%, and 0.09% respectively. Also, movement of wall has a significant impact on heat transfer rates and entropy production. The present study may be extended in numerous areas to mimic the problems like-(1) onset of thermo-mechanical process for solid-fluid interaction in a conduit. (2) Thermos-chemical process with extraction of ions in two-phase fluid for double layer plating on a continuously moving sheet, as region of porous stratum saturated with a class of fluid and region without porous medium occupied with other fluid.

The impact of a chemical reaction on the heat and mass transfer mechanisms in a dissipative and radiative nanofluid flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the flow of a non-Newtonian tangent hyperbolic nanofluid over a nonlinearly stretched surface, taking into account factors such as thermal radiation, prescribed surface temperature, and a chemical reaction mechanism. Furthermore, the analysis includes the consideration of both viscous dissipation and the influence of a magnetic field within a Darcy porous medium. A mathematical framework for addressing the issue, rooted in the principles of conserving momentum, energy, and mass. The MATHEMATICA tools were employed to apply the shooting technique in order to solve the modeled equations describing the temperature, velocity, and concentration fields of the proposed physical system. Graphs are used to illustrate how certain key parameters affect the profiles of concentration, velocity, and temperature. Data tables are utilized to display information pertaining to the local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, and local skin friction coefficient. The present results have been confirmed through a comparison with previously published findings. This research holds significant importance as it focuses on the extensive utilization of tangent hyperbolic nanofluids in cooling electronic components that produce substantial heat during their operation. The observed pattern indicates that as the local Weisbsenberg number, magnetic number, local porous parameter, and power law index increase, there is a reduction in the boundary layer thickness. Conversely, in the instances of concentration and temperature distributions, an escalation in these parameters leads to an expansion of the boundary layer thickness.

Investigating double-diffusive natural convection in a sloped dual-layered homogenous porous-fluid square cavity.

This article investigates natural convection with double-diffusive properties numerically in a vertical bi-layered square enclosure. The cavity has two parts: one part is an isotropic and homogeneous porous along the wall, and an adjacent part is an aqueous fluid. Adiabatic, impermeable horizontal walls and constant and uniform temperatures and concentrations on other walls are maintained. To solve the governing equations, the finite element method (FEM) employed and predicted results shows the impact of typical elements of convection on double diffusion, namely the porosity thickness, cavity rotation angle, and thermal conductivity ratio. Different Darcy and Rayleigh numbers effects on heat transfer conditions were investigated, and the Nusselt number in the border of two layers was obtained. The expected results, presented as temperature field (isothermal lines) and velocity behavior in X and Y directions, show the different effects of the aforementioned parameters on double diffusion convective heat transfer. Also results show that with the increase in the thickness of the porous layer, the Nusselt number decreases, but at a thickness higher than 0.8, we will see an increase in the Nusselt number. Increasing the thermal conductivity ratio in values less than one leads to a decrease in the average Nusselt number, and by increasing that parameter from 1 to 10, the Nusselt values increase. A higher rotational angle of the cavity reduces the thermosolutal convective heat transfer, and increasing the Rayleigh and Darcy numbers, increases Nusselt. These results confirm that the findings obtained from the Finite Element Method (FEM), which is the main idea of this research, are in good agreement with previous studies that have been done with other numerical methods.

Enhanced heat transfer analysis on Ag-Al[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text]/water hybrid magneto-convective nanoflow.

The primary goal of this investigation is to examine the heat and flow characteristics of a hybrid nanofluid consisting of silver (Ag) and aluminum oxide (Al[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] nanoparticles over an unsteady radially stretching sheet embedded in porous medium. The investigation is conducted under the influence of several key parameters, namely joule heating, viscous dissipation, porous, slip, and suction. The technique of similarity transformations is used to transform the governing system of PDEs into nonlinear ODEs and the bvp4c solver is used to solve them numerically. The present study examines the influence of sphere and platelet shape nanoparticles on the temperature and velocity profiles. The outcomes are discussed through graphs and tables. A rise in the porous, slip, and suction parameters makes the velocity profile decrease gradually. The temperature escalates when Biot number, magnetic parameter, and Eckert number increase. As compared to sphere shapes, platelet-shaped nanoparticles exhibit the greatest heat transfer and flow. Results reveal that by using Ag-Al[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text]/H[Formula: see text]O hybrid nanofluid with a volume fraction of 5%, the heat transfer enhancement of platelet shape nanoparticles increased by 11.88% than sphere-shaped nanoparticles. Overall, the platelet shape of nanoparticles offers distinctive advantages in various engineering applications, primarily due to their large surface area, anisotropic properties, and tunable surface chemistry. These properties make them versatile tools for improving the performance of materials and systems in engineering fields. The findings can contribute to the design and optimization of nanofluid-based systems in various engineering applications, such as heat exchangers, microfluidics, and energy conversion devices.
