ЧИСЛЕННЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ТЕПЛООБМЕНА И ГЕНЕРАЦИИ ЭНТРОПИИ ДЛЯ ПОТОКА ГИБРИДНОГО НАНОФЛЮИДА CuO-Al2O3-ВОДА ЧЕРЕЗ РАСШИРЕННУЮ ИЗОГНУТУЮ ТРУБКУ

Настоящая работа посвящена теоретическому анализу конвективного теплообмена и состояния необратимости ламинарного потока гибридной наножидкости внутри вытянутого изогнутого канала круглого сечения. Эта наножидкость получена из суспензии наночастиц Al2O3 и CuO в чистой воде. Поток наножидкости начинается из суженной части изогнутого канала полукруглой формы, а его расширенная часть подвергается равномерному воздействию горячей температуры. В данном анализе рассматривается влияние некоторых параметров, а именно: Число Дина (13.83 ⩽ De ⩽ 55.33), Число Ричардсона (0 ⩽ Ri ⩽ 0.1), а также влияние гибридных наночастиц на скорость теплопередачи и создаваемую энтропию. Решение управляющих уравнений, включающих массу, импульс и энергию, было выполнено с помощью метода конечных элементов. Результаты показали, что скорость теплообмена возрастает в зависимости от увеличения числа Дина и объемной доли гибридной наножидкости. Однако необратимость системы течения более важна в случае наибольшего числа Дина и объемной доли. Более того, сравнение между различными простыми и гибридными наножидкостями показало, что последние более эффективны, особенно по технологическим и экономическим причинам.

Introduction

Fluid flow in curved pipes and ducts is considered one of the most fascinating and complex transport phenomena that attract the attention of researchers in different study fields. Indeed, it is uncommon to find an industrial application that is not hardly devoid of curved pipes, especially in the chemical, petrochemical, aeronautical, thermal industries... etc. [1, 2]. In the chemical and petrochemical industry, curved pipes and ducts are often used as a means of mass transport and also as a cooling or heating process [3]. Given the centrifugal force that the flow undergoes in the curved parts of these systems, co-rotating loops called Dean vortices develop at the level of the transverse planes of these ducts [4-6]. As a means of thermal application, curved pipes and ducts are

considered as important equipment due to their existence in serpentines and spirals pipes intended for heating or cooling processes [7-9]. In these applications, nanofluids are nanosus-pensions in which metallic or oxidometallic nanoparticles are suspended in a base fluid, in particular pure water. Thanks to their chemical and thermal characteristics, they are of enormous importance for improving heat transfer, especially in cooling processes [10, 11]. For technological and economic motivations, researchers in this field have introduced another type of nanofluids called hybrids [12, 13]. It requires a suspension of several metallic or oxidometallic types of nanoparticles in the same base fluid. This technique allows to benefit from the chemical and thermal advantages of each nanoparticle and is placed in the framework of an optimization of heat transfer efficiency.

Several studies by theoretical or experimental ways have been conducted in the literature in the aim of highlighting the thermal and hydrodynamic effects of nanofluids on the flow within curved pipes and ducts. Indeed, most of these studies have shown that the use of this type of suspensions is thermally efficient [14-18].

The present study deals with a theoretical contribution to the study of a hybrid nanofluid behavior (Al2O3-CuO-water) flowing in a curved duct of a circular cross-section. Similar to the case of straight ducts where enlargements causing the flow connection are equipped [19, 20], the present curved duct is equipped with an abrupt extended cross-section. The purpose of this investigation is to highlight the effect of this hybrid nanosuspension on the heat transfer enhancement and on the irreversibility of this thermo-hydrodynamic system. In view of the existence of several parameters controlling the study, the impact of curvature, buoyancy and nanoparticles hybridization are examined at the hydrodynamic, thermal and entropic levels.

Problem description

In this study, the hybrid nanofluid [21] composed of alumina nanoparticles (Al2O3) and copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) flows inside a duct system containing a curved part with a brusquely enlarged cross section as shown in Figure 1. The percentage of the two oxidome-tallic types of nanoparticles in the amount suspended in pure water are equal (50%-50%). Moreover, in order to compare the thermal and entropic performance of this hybrid type of

nanofluid, it was considered useful in this investigation to examine nanofluids with Al2O3 and CuO nanoparticles suspended independently in pure water as well as pure water as reference case.

Let us consider a volume fraction p of hybrid nanoparticles suspended in pure water. If we consider that Vo presents the volume of different substances, p denotes nanoparticles and f denotes the base fluid (pure water), hence, it can be seen that the volume fraction of the nanoparticles is calculated by [21]:

According to the laws of standard and nanometric suspension, the different thermos-physical properties of the hybrid nanofluid are functions of the volume fraction as well as of the particular volume fraction of each oxido-metallic type of the nanoparticles. Based on the overall volume fraction of the nanoparticles, the effective density (pnf), dynamic viscosity (unf), thermal conductivity (&nf), specific heat (Cpnf) and thermal expansion (ffnf) of the hybrid nanofluid are respectively given by [22, 23]:

The thermophysical properties of the nanoparticles (Al2O3 and CuO) and the base fluid (pure water) are mentioned in Table 1.

Inside the curved part of the duct system the hybrid nanofluid flows from the narrowed to the extended part with an initial uniform inlet velocity u0 and a cold temperature (Tc). In addition, the duct extended part boundary is maintained at a uniform hot temperature (Th).

However, the other walls are assumed to be adiabatic, see Figure 1. The curvature radius of the investigated duct is Rc. In fact, it presents a medium value between the duct inner (Rin) and outer (Rout) radiuses. The diameters of the narrowed and the extended sections are D and 2D, see Figure 1.

Governing equations

Within the curved duct, the flow of the hybrid nanofluid takes place in a laminar regime which corresponds to a Reynolds number generally less than 200. The operating fluid was taken Newtonian and incompressible whereas flowing in a steady regime. Therefore, the numerical simulation is effectuated based on the conservation balances of the fluid mass, its momentum and its thermal energy. It should be noted that the flow has: no chemical reactions, negligible external forces, dilute mixture, negligible viscous dissipation, negligible radiative heat transfer, and local thermal equilibrium between nanoparticles and base fluid. Moreover, the thermophysical proprieties of the nanofluid are assumed all constants with except to the density which vary as a function of the temperature in the buoyancy term according to Boussinesq approximation [24]. If v = (u, v, w) presents the nanofluid velocity vector in a Cartesian referential (Oxyz), T its temperature and p its pressure at in any position (x, y, z) of the duct, the above balances are respectively given by:

Another dimensionless number called Dean number characterizes the influence of the duct curvature radius. This number gives more information about the formation of two corotating vortices at the transverse planes. As a function of Reynolds number, the Dean number is defined by:

Boundary conditions

Let us consider that n presents the normal vector, hence, the system of dimen-

sionless balance equations has the following boundary conditions:

Inlet: V.n = 1 and 0 = 0 (22)

Outlet: P = 0 and (VB).n = 0 (23)

Adiabatic boundary: V.n = (VB).n = 0, (24) Enlarged duct boundary: V.n = 0 , 8 = 1 (25)

Heat exchange rate

The calculation of the dimensionless Nusselt number allows to quantify the heat transfer rate within the curved duct for different operating conditions. Indeed, it identifies the efficiency of the convective heat transfer mode compared to the conductive mode for different types of nanoparticles, different flow velocity and different thermal differences. At any arc 0 < $ < 2n of the circumference of the curved duct cross section, it is determined by the flowing expression:

Entropy generation

In the present study, the system irreversibility is presented through heat transfer and fluid friction. Thus, the total entropy sgen generation is the sum of the entropies due to the heat transfer sHT, and to the fluid friction sFF [25, 26]. For an average temperature T0, it is given by:

(32)

Numerical steps

The governing equations including boundary conditions have been numerically solved using the finite element method based on the Garlkin discretization. After having chosen a suitable mesh of globally tetrahedral shape and effected a test of independence of the theoretical results from the chosen grid, we opted for a mesh containing 1234560 elements and 1254892 boundary elements. In addition, to ensure the fluidity of the flow in the vicinity of the curved duct boundaries, a boundary layer of prismatic shape was introduced in this area, see Figure 2. The criterion of convergence relates to the absolute error strictly less than 10-6 of each

dependent variable, namely the velocity components, temperature and pressure.

In order to ascertain the numerical results, a validation with the results of the literature has been carried out. Indeed, comparing the values of the nanofluid velocity along a radial line of the longitudinal plane of the curved duct with circular section obtained from the present study with those obtained from the reference [8], an excellent agreement has been noted, see Table 2.

Discussion of the results

The results obtained from the numerical simulation of the thermal, hydrodynamic and entropic behavior of the hybrid nanofluid are presented in this section. They take the form of velocity contours and streamlines, isotherms as well as isentropic at the level of the transverse plane corresponding to the 1350 angle.

The influence of different parameters is analyzed on these behaviors namely: the influence of curvature or even inertia (23.83 < De < 55.33), buoyancy (0 < Ri <0.1) and hybridization compared to the mono-nanoparticle case. Furthermore, for further analysis, the heat transfer rate is investigated for different volume fractions (0 < p <0.1) and Dean numbers of the hybrid nanoparticles compared to using pure water.

Velocity from Reference [8] 00.00 0.712 1.073 1.378 1.666 0.145

It should be noted that the basic parameters used in this simulation are respectively: De = 41.5 (Re =150), Ri = 0, ф = 0.04 (ФА1203 = фсио = 0.02) and Pr = 6.8. The calculation of the Bejan number for all simulation cases took a value close to Be = 0.99 which means the predominance of entropic generation due to heat transfers over the friction of the nanofluid in our curved duct system.

Influence of curvature

The influence of the curvature actually corresponds to the influence of the duct curvature radius (Rc) on the formation of vortices in the transverse planes. In dimensionless sense,

it is represented by the influence of the Dean (or Reynolds) number.

From Figure 3, the hydrodynamic, thermal and isentropic structures are illustrated for various Dean number. It appears that in addition to the development of the Dean vortices, the increase of this number up to 55.33 leads to the formation of two relatively weak co-rotating vortices accompanied by a significant increase in the nanofluid velocity especially in the vicinity of the outer curvature radius. In this zone, the thermal boundary layer becomes weaker where the temperature decreases significantly according to the Dean number.

In this case, the overall entropy generation is more important in the vicinity of the outer radius zone and almost absent in the middle of the measurement section. Indeed, the maximum dimensionless entropy increases from 2.3 to 19.1 for an increase of the Dean number from 23.83 to 55.33, however, it remains almost null in the middle of the section. This indicates that the present thermo-hydrodynamic system becomes more and more irreversible when the duct curvature radius decreases.

The local Nusselt number along the cross-section circumference (1350) shown in Figure 4 (a) indicates that the heat exchange rate between the hot curved wall and the cold fluid increases explicitly according to the Dean number. Moreover, regardless the Dean number, it decreases symmetrically from the outer radius to the inner radius of the curved duct. Indeed, the decrease of the thermal boundary layer thickness in the vicinity of the outer radius due to the effect of inertia favors the forced convection rate in this zone, which improves the heat transfer. This is consistent with a significant cooling situation. As for the variation of the local entropy along the measurement circumference, it is in agreement with the variation of the Nusselt number. In fact, a reversible situation corresponds to more homogeneous temperature distribution and consequently low thermal gradients. This thermal gradient can be observed in the vicinity of the inner radius, especially in the case of small curvature radius, see Figure 4 (b).

The determination of the average heat exchange rate through the average Nusselt number at the extended hot wall allows to identify the percentage of cooling improvement as a function of the Dean number. Indeed, an improvement of almost 124% accompanied with an entropic increase of almost 160% has been recorded by increasing the Dean number from

the value of 23.83 to the value of 55.33. This indicates, that a thermal enhancement due to curvature or inertia effects is accompanied with an important irreversibility, see Table 3.

Influence of buoyancy

The buoyancy force or simply the natural convection schematizes the movement of hybrid nanofluid within the curved duct widened according to the direction of gravity. Indeed, the hot fluid moves upwards while the cold fluid moves downwards which causes the formation of a vertical loop which unites with Dean vortices as well as with the vortex due to the extension of the duct.

The Richardson number puts forward the impact of buoyancy through the increase of the difference between the fluid cold temperature and the wall hot temperature.

Figure 5 highlights the radical changes in the behavior that the hybrid nanofluid flow is subjected to at the measurement plane with increasing buoyancy force. The two diametrically symmetrical Dean vortices (with respect to the horizontal plane) appearing in the case of a purely forced convection (Ri = 0) change shape by uniting with the vertical streamlines due to buoyancy. Indeed, the symmetrical shape is totally lost with the increase of the Richardson number. Moreover, the maximum velocity of the nanofluid increases especially in the low side of the outer radius neighborhood. In fact, the thermal profile and the centrifugal force are the factors causing this kinetics. Due to the increase of the temperature in the section upper part cause the reduction of the thermal boundary layer thickness in the fourth quadrant of the measuring section.

On the other hand, the generated entropy increases with the increase of the Richardson number especially in the vicinity of the borders.

Whatever the Richardson number, along a direct turn, the heat transfer rate decreases in the measurement section going up from the outer radius and then decreases. In addition, the Richardson number disfavors the heat transfer rate along the first quadrant, see Figure 6 (a). Nevertheless, from the data of the Table 4, the overall heat transfer rate is favored by the buoyancy force with a rate of almost 14% in the case of Ri = 0.1 compared to the case of no buoyancy force (Ri = 0). In addition, the irreversibility of the system follows the thermal

behavior Figure 6 (b). Indeed, an increase of the entropy average value of almost 12% has been noted with the increase of the Richardson number to 0.1, see Table 4.

Influence of nanoparticles

In this section, we intend to study the influence of alumina (Al2O3), copper oxide (CuO) and hybrid nanoparticles (Al2O3- CuO) suspended in pure water. A volume fraction of 0.04 is used for the different suspensions with an equal percentage in the hybrid case.

Figure 7 presents the profiles of velocity, of temperature as well as of the entropy generated by the thermo-hydrodynamic system of the curved duct for the different mentioned nano-suspensions, namely pure water. Overall, the addition of the different types nanoparticles does not affect the shapes of the presented profiles except for a relative increase of the velocity in the case suspension especially when using CuO nanoparticles. Moreover, the thermo-hydrodynamic system of the curved duct shows a relatively higher irreversibility in this case compared to the other nano-suspensions (Al2O3-water and hybrid nanofluid). However, pure water presents the least irreversible system compared to the other systems corresponding to the lower entropic generation.

For a more in-depth analysis, in Figure 8, the local Nusselt number and the generated entropy are presented along the circumference of the measurement section in the direct direction for the different suspensions, namely pure water. It has been observed that the heat transfer rate increases relatively with the addition of nanoparticles especially in the vicinity of the outer radius. The CuO nanoparticles show the best heat transfer rate followed by the CuO-Al2O3 hybrid nanoparticles. However, the low heat transfer rate has been noted in the case of using pure water. As for the entropy generation along the measurement direction adopted for the Nusselt

number, it is found that the thermo-hydrodynamic system tends to be more irreversible in the case of CuO-water suspension keeping the same order as that of the discussed heat transfer enhancement, see also Table 5.

At a Dean number of 41.5, the overall heat transfer rate with respect to pure water presented by the average Nusselt number in the expanded part of the duct increases in the case of using CuO nanoparticles with a percentage of 6.75% and in the case of using Al2O3 nanoparticles with a percentage of 5.95%, see Table 5. However, a percentage of 6.49% has been recorded in the case of use of hybrid nanoparticles. This rate is close to 67.5% of the thermal improvement rate obtained by using CuO nanoparticles.

Based on this result, the consideration of hybrid nanofluids yields an acceptable efficiency, especially on the economic level where CuO nanoparticles are the costliest.

Indeed, half (50%) of the cost can be recovered with a thermal reduction of 32.5%. A further analysis is to compare the heat transfer rate in the hybrid nanofluid use case against pure water and against single nanoparticle suspensions for different flow velocities and nanoparticle volume fractions. Hence, we found it useful to compare the heat transfer rate in terms of the average Nusselt number for different Dean numbers (13.83 < De < 55.33) and different volume fractions (0 < 9 < 0.1).

Figure 9 shows the histograms of the average Nusselt number as a function of different natures of nanoparticles: CuO, Al2O3 and hybrid nanoparticles for various volume fractions and various Dean numbers. As the Dean number can show the effect of inertia (see equation (21)), we considered that the change of Dean number reflects Reynolds number and thus the flow inlet velocity.

At low nanofluid flow velocities (Re = 50) the heat transfer rate appears almost identical especially in the case of CuO-water and hybrid nanofluid. Therefore, the use of hybrid nanofluid

at low flow velocity regardless of the volume fraction is very beneficial in economic terms due to the cost reduction and keeping the same heat transfer rate. As the inlet flow velocity increases (Reynolds increases) the difference between the efficiency of CuO-water nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid increases especially at higher volume fractions. Consequently, laminar flow at moderate velocities and moderate volume fractions of the hybrid nanofluid can present cases of near-equality in terms of thermal efficiency between the different nanofluids.

Conclusion

The present study concerns a contribution to the numerical study of the thermal, hydrodynamic and entropic behavior of a hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-CuO-water) flowing in a curved duct with an abruptly enlarged section. It deals with highlighting the effect of the curvature (still of the inertia), of the buoyancy as well as of the nanoparticles namely: Al2O3, CuO and Al2O3-CuO on the flow stream, isothermal and isentropic distributions. The essential points of the present study can be summarized as follows: • Through the Dean number expressing the radius of curvature effect of the duct, it has

been found that the heat transfer rate as well as that of entropy generation increases. In other words, the thermo-hydrodynamic system of the curved duct is characterized with a good heat transfer accompanied by a significant irreversibility that increases in the centrifugal force direction. The thermal buoyancy strongly affects the hybrid nanofluid behavior, especially in terms of flow and vortex formation. Indeed, the Dean vortexes existing at the transverse planes unite with the buoyancy stream and form a more complex vortex. On the other hand, the overall heat transfer and entropy is

found to be more important as the Richardson number increases.

• The best heat transfer rate has been obtained in the case of CuO nanoparticle suspension with a rate of 6.75% followed by Al2O3-CuO suspension with a rate of 6.49% compared to pure water. Here, the thermo-hydrodynamic irreversibility is directly proportional to the heat transfer rate.

• At a Dean number of 41.5, the hybrid nanofluid shows a percentage improvement of 67% over the Al2O3-water nanofluid. This percentage tends to become similar to that obtained by the CuO-water nanofluid as the inlet velocity of the nanofluid increases on the one hand and the volume fraction of the nanoparticles decreases on the other hand.

• Given that CuO nanoparticles are the costliest, the use of the hybrid nanofluid presents an economical case. Indeed, at moderate flow velocities and volume fractions, a very satisfactory thermal efficiency can be achieved with a reduction of half the cost of CuO nanoparticles.

ЧИСЛЕННЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ТЕПЛООБМЕНА И ГЕНЕРАЦИИ ЭНТРОПИИ ДЛЯ ПОТОКА ГИБРИДНОГО НАНОФЛЮИДА Cu0-Al203-В0ДА ЧЕРЕЗ РАСШИРЕННУЮ ИЗОГНУТУЮ ТРУБКУ

Джамила Дербал, Мохамед Бузит, Абдеррахим Мохефи

Настоящая работа посвящена теоретическому анализу конвективного теплообмена и состояния необратимости ламинарного потока гибридной наножидкости внутри вытянутого изогнутого канала круглого сечения. Эта наножидкость получена из суспензии наночастиц Л120з и СиО в чистой воде. Поток наножидкости начинается из суженной части изогнутого канала полукруглой формы, а его расширенная часть подвергается равномерному воздействию горячей температуры. В данном анализе рассматривается влияние некоторых параметров, а именно: Число Дина (13.83 < De < 55.33), Число Ричардсона (0 < Ш < 0.1), а также влияние гибридных наночастиц на скорость теплопередачи и создаваемую энтропию. Решение управляющих уравнений, включающих массу, импульс и энергию, было выполнено с помощью метода конечных элементов. Результаты показали, что скорость теплообмена возрастает в зависимости от увеличения числа Дина и объемной доли гибридной наножидкости. Однако необратимость системы течения более важна в случае наибольшего числа Дина и объемной доли. Более того, сравнение между различными простыми и гибридными наножидкостями показало, что последние более эффективны, особенно по технологическим и экономическим причинам.

Ключевые слова: гибридная наножидкость, теплообмен, генерация энтропии, изогнутая трубка, ламинарный поток.
