Thermal performance optimization of Au–Al2O3–TiO2 nanofluids in casson blood flow: a second law analysis and parametric sensitivity study via Keller box method
摘要
The current research focuses on optimizing heat transfer and flow behavior of Casson blood based ternary hybrid nanofluid flow around a porous cylindrical surface, targeting biomedical heat transfer applications. The nanofluid consist of gold, aluminium oxide, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles dispersed in a blood based Casson fluid. The governing partial differential equations can be transformed into an equivalent system and solved numerically using the implicit finite difference method. The influence of critical parameters on flow and thermal characteristics, entropy generation and Bejan number shown graphically. Results shows that THNF enhances velocity profile up to 35% and temperature distribution up to 29% compared to hybrid and mono nanofluids. However, THNF also exhibits up to 35% higher entropy generation, while mono nanofluid demonstrate superior Bejan numbers, indicating lower irreversibility and better thermal efficiency. Response Surface Methodology (RSM), combined with a Central Composite Design (CCD) structure, improves heat and flow performance. Three influential input parameters
