EFFECTS OF NANOPARTICLE VOLUME FRACTION IN HYDRODYNAMIC AND THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FORCED PLANE JET
ABSTRACT
The effects of nanoparticle volume fraction in hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of an incompressible forced 2-D plane jet flow are investigated. Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of a two dimensional incompressible plane forced jet flow for two nanofluids has been performed. The base fluid is water and the nanoparticles are Al O ,CuO 2 3 . The numerical simulation is carried out for the solid volume fraction between 0 to 4%. The results for both nanofluids indicate that any increase in the solid volume fraction decreases the amplitude of temperature, velocity time histories, the turbulent intensities and that of the Reynolds stresses. The results for both two nanoparticles also indicate that with any increase in nanoparticle volume fraction, the velocity amplitude of velocity time history, the turbulent intensities and Reynolds stress in 2 3 Al O -water are greater than that ofCuO-water nanofluid.
