  • Abstract:
  • This present study is a work on the thermal performance and flow characteristics of magneto-nanofluids to be used in advanced engineering. Nanofluids that are made through the suspension of nanoparticles in normal base fluids have a higher thermal conductivity and heat transfer efficiency than the normal fluids. The study incorporates the concepts of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) in order to understand the impact of an external magnetic field on fluid dynamics and thermal properties. A simple two-dimensional laminar model of boundary layer is formulated which includes mass, momentum, and energy equations, and effective thermophysical variables. Velocity and temperature profiles are obtained using similarity transformations and numerical methods (RKF-45 using shooting method). The parametric analysis helps to reveal the impact of magnetic parameter, concentration of nanoparticle, and Prandtl number on the heat transfer and flow dynamics. It has been found that magnetic fields could be successfully used in the treatment of flow behaviour and to produce better thermal performance.
