Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the impacts of combined utilization of multi-jet impinging cooling of nanofluids with magnetic field and porous layer on the cooling performance, as effective cooling with impinging jets are obtained for various energy systems, including photovoltaic panels, electronic cooling and many other convective heat transfer applications.
Design/methodology/approach
Finite element method is used to explore the magnetic field effects with the inclusion of porous layer on the cooling performance efficiency of slot nanojet impingement system. Impacts of pertinent parameters such as Reynolds number (Re between 250 and 1,000), strength of magnetic field (Ha between 0 and 30), permeability of the porous layer (Da between 0.001 and 0.1) on the cooling performance for flat and wavy surface configurations are explored.
Findings
It is observed that the average Nusselt number (Nu) rises by about 17% and 20.4% for flat and wavy configuration while temperature drop of 4 K is obtained when Re is increased to 1,000 from 250. By using magnetic field at the highest strength, the average Nu rises by about 29% and 7% for flat and wavy cases. Porous layer permeability is an effective way of controlling the cooling performance while up to 44.5% variations in the average Nu is obtained by varying its value. An optimization routine is used to achieve the highest cooling rate while the optimum parameter set is obtained as (Re, Ha, Da, γ, sx) = (1,000, 30, 0.07558, 86.28, 2.585) for flat surface and (Re, Ha, Da, γ, sx) = (1,000, 30, 0.07558, 71.85, 2.329) for wavy surface configurations.
Originality/value
In thermal systems, cooling system design is important for thermal management of various energy systems, including fuel cells, photovoltaic panels, electronic cooling and many others. Impinging jets are considered as effective way of cooling because of its ability to give higher local heat transfer coefficients. This paper offers novel control tools, such as magnetic field, installation of porous layer and hybrid nano-liquid utilization for control of cooling performance with multiple impinging jets.
