Surface thermal investigation in water functionalized Al2O3 and γAl2O3 nanomaterials-based nanofluid over a sensor surface

Applied Nanoscience Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Thermal transport investigation in Al2O3–H2O and Al2O3–H2O over sensor surface is significant from medical sciences, biological, and chemical engineering. Therefore, the analysis is conducted to investigate the thermal transport against the preeminent parameters. The nanofluid models are transformed in self-similar version via similarity transformations and then treated numerically. It is perceived that the velocity drops against higher values of ϕ. The thermal behavior of the nanofluids enhances for multiple permeable parameter and volume fraction. It is also perceived that thermal performance in γAl2O3–H2O prevailed throughout the analysis. Therefore, these nanofluids are good conductor and better for aforementioned applications. Moreover, comparative analysis proved the authenticity of the analysis γ.
