Abstract

This numerical study investigates the effect of internal heat on heat transfer in a nanofluid saturated vertical channel with a porous matrix layer sandwiched between two fluid layers. The Darcy–Forchheimer equation is used to model flow in a porous material. To characterize the nanofluid, the Tiwari and Das model is used. The transport parameters of the fluids are constant in all three locations. The Finite element Galerkin method is used to convert governing equations into systems of equations. The behavior of nanofluid is investigated by taking the solid volume fraction into account. The flow characteristics were investigated for various values of the relevant parameters in the model, which includes Grashof number, Brinkman number, solid volume fraction, porous parameter, interphase heat transfer, internal heat generation, Forchheimer parameter, nanofluid to solid porous matrix thermal conductivity ratio parameter, porosity of the medium using water as the base fluid and copper as the nanoparticle. To study flow and heat transmission, five different types of nanoparticles are used. Silver nanoparticles achieve the maximum value of the Nusselt number.
