Results in Surfaces and Interfaces, 2026
Owing to growing demand of energy-efficient thermal systems, the hybrid nanomaterials have emerged as next-generation medium of heat transfer due to significant thermal features. The hybrid nanofluids offers impressive applications in energy sectors, thermal management systems, cooling processes etc. This continuation presents enhanced thermal aspects of micropolar tri hybrid fluid confined by a stretching surface. The suspension of coper oxide (CuO), magnesium oxide (MgO) and titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles with human blood base fluid is used to focus the tri hybrid nanofluid properties. The governing expressions of energy equations are modified by including the Cattaneo-Christov model. The thermal radiation applications with nonlinear modelling are used for enhancement of heat transfer. After modelling the problem, the numerical simulations are performed via shooting scheme. The investigation of heat transfer is visualized for tri hybrid nanofluid (CuO−MgO−TiO 2 /blood) and hybrid nanofluid (MgO−TiO 2 /blood). The findings reveal that microrotation velocity profile enhances for micropolar fluid parameter. A progressive change in heat transfer is exhibited due to nanoparticles volume fraction. Furthermore, the Nusselt number increases numerically against thermal relaxation parameter and micropolar fluid parameter. The proposed results confirm applications in advanced thermal systems, chemical systems, heat exchangers, energy storage units etc.
Numerical simulation of double-pipe helical coil heat exchangers: Influence of geometry and nanofluid on heat transfer enhancement
A.M. Alklaibi, Sa'ed A Musmar, Iskander Tlili
Results in Engineering, 2025
• Ten double-pipe helical coil exchangers are studied. • HTC increased by 12%, and pumping power by 70% as the coil curvature increases. • HTC increased by 15% and pumping power by 50% as the coil pitch ratio increases. • The performance evaluation criterion indicates that enhancement of HCx is greater at higher Re. • Contribution of nanofluids to heat transfer enhancement is less than that of HCx. The discrepancies in the effects of the main parameters found in studies of helical coil heat exchangers are largely the result of not establishing a common basis for comparison. In the present study, fifteen helical coil exchanger configurations with different coil pitch sizes and curvature ratios were examined. All configurations had a fixed length to serve as a common basis for comparison. Water and nanofluids are being investigated as coolants under laminar and turbulent conditions. Thus, the impact of helical geometry and nanofluids on heat exchanger performance is examined under various flow conditions. The findings indicate that the impact of secondary flows leads to a 34% augmentation in the Nusselt number when water flows through the helically coiled heat exchangers in comparison to double-pipe heat exchangers comprising straight tubes. This increase is achieved with a large pitch size and curvature ratio. Using MWCNT/W and CuO/W nanofluids can further enhance Nu to 59% and 87%, respectively. The improved Nusselt number is attributed to the enhancement of the secondary flow intensity and induced fluid mixing due to Brownian motion resulting from the nanoparticles suspended in water. The helical HCx has a friction factor that is 97% higher than that of the DPHx with straight tubes. With MWCNT/W and CuO/W nanofluids, the friction factor increased by 112% and 113%, respectively. The highest PEC of 2.4 was achieved with CuO/W nanofluid under laminar flow with a larger pitch size and curvature ratio. Helical coils have a more significant impact on the process than nanofluids do when the flow is turbulent, and a lesser impact when the flow is laminar.

Global warming associated with the greenhouse effect urge finding alternative energy strategies concerned with sustainable energy resources that are environmentally friendly and provide energy saving. Waste heat recovery engines are attracting devices that convert usually wasted energy to valuable mechanical or electrical energy. The current research aims to develop a mathematical model to investigate the effects of regenerator physical dimensions on the alpha Stirling engine performance indicators. A mathematical model integrating an internal pressure drop has been proposed to act as a thermodynamic optimization tool for the Stirling engine. The main conclusion was that both geometrical factors and working fluid initial charge (gas mass) craft the performance parameters of alpha type Stirling engine that operates with air as working material. After that, Artificial neural networks of Levenberg Marquardt and Orthogonal Distance Regression models, and Fuzzy systems trained for Mass Charge from M = 0.002 to 0.004 Kg are compared to find the least uncertainty. Results revealed that the Fuzzy system and Orthogonal Distance Regression model could predict more effectively than the Levenberg Marquardt model.

Oxyhydrogen gas (Brown gas (HHO)) can be an innovative venue for cleaner energy in the auto industry. The effect of potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration in an electrolyte solution of HHO fuel cell on GK200 Honda single-cylinder engine performance parameters and emissions has been investigated. A 1 L/min blend of HHO is fed to the engine as a secondary fuel and a constant electrical load, and variable engine speed (1300–2300) tests were carried out to quantify the foremost concentration of KOH in the fuel cell electrolyte that has a constructive impact on both engine performance parameters and emissions. Several concentrations of KOH were considered (1 g/l, 1.5 g/l, 2 g/l, 5 g/l, and 6.5 g/l). Results reveal that all KOH concentrations considered have a positive impact on engine performance parameters and the best concentration range for KOH in distilled water is within the range 1–2 g/l. The average percentage enhancement in engine brake power was 22.3% and 20.5% reduction in specific fuel consumption whereas the average reduction in carbon oxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were almost 80% and 50% reduction in NOx and HC emissions. Most of the literature concerned with HHO as a fuel blend set 5 g/l KOH concentration for fuel cell electrolyte whereas the results of this research reveal that lower concentrations within the range of 1–2 g/l reduce the energy consumed by the fuel cell in addition to higher impact on the engine performance parameters and enhance the overall system efficiency.

Nearly 4 billion tons of waste tires are generated throughout the world. The accumulated tires are a global concern being undegradable therefore, hazardous to the environment. A recent breakthrough in recycling technology based on pyrolysis process decomposes tire’s rubber into high grade energy source which is pyrolytic oil and carbon black as a byproduct that commonly utilized as a filler in polymer industry and rarely as a solid fuel source. This work introduces the potential of utilizing carbon black from pyrolysis (CBP) as an alternative solution for heating and targeting refugee camps in Jordan.Analysis of different alternatives of heating sources currently used in refugees’ camps in Jordan is performed in comparison to energy alternative sources. A multi criteria decision making methodology has been used to choose the best alternative between four heating energy sources: LPG, Solar, CBP, and diesel. Four main criteria and two sub-criteria were studied by employing the Analytical Hierarchy process AHP methodology tool to prioritize each main and sub-criteria with respect to the alternatives to highlight the significant features for the decision makers when choosing heating sources in refugee camps in Jordan.The alternatives of this research were analyzed and prioritized, the results demonstrated that LPG is the most suitable source of heating to be used in refugee camps with a rank of 0.3921; followed by the new alternative CBP ranking 0.3049, solar and fossil fuel diesel ranked third and fourth with values 0.1946 and 0.1084, respectively. Results showed that the economic aspects were the most significant main criteria with respect to the target, while future availability and pollution were the most significant sub-criteria.

Frontiers in Physics, 2020
This research communicates the triple diffusion perspective of Eyring–Powell nano-materials configured by a periodically moving configuration. The thermal consequences of variable natures are utilized as a novelty. Combined magnetic and porous medium effects are also involved, which result in a magneto-porosity parameter. The thermophoretic and Brownian motion aspects are reported by using Buongiorno's nanofluid theory. The formulated flow equations in non-dimensional forms are tackled with the implementation of a homotopy analysis algorithm. A detailed physical investigation against derived parameters is presented graphically. Due to periodically accelerated surface, the oscillations in velocity and wall shear stress have been examined.

Ferro liquids derive their magneto–viscous behavior from the suspended magnetic nanomaterial that enables tunable changes in temperature, as well as nano-structured fluid characteristics. A theoretical model that depicts the bioconvection flow of cross nanofluid with a magnetic dipole subjected to a cylindrical surface was developed and numerically solved. The model encountered nonlinear thermal radiation, activation energy, and second order slip. The flow equations were reduced and are presented in dimensionless forms, and they were solved numerically using the shooting technique, which is a built-in feature of MatLab. The model encountered symmetrical constraints for predicting velocity, temperature, concentration, and gyrotactic microorganism distribution and profiles. Moreover, the numerical values were computed for local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, and motile density number against each physical parameter.
