In order to assess the profitability of an energy system, various factors such as fluid nature, geometry shape, and operating conditions must be considered. This study focuses on the impact of sinusoidal rib shapes, with different values of space ratio (e/b) ranging from 0 to 1, on heat transfer in nanofluid flow. The channel's upper surface is subject to a uniformed heat flux, with Al2O3 Nanofluid as the working fluid and Reynolds numbers ranging from 5000 to 20000. The effect of the volume fraction of aluminum nanoparticle, ranging from 0 to 6 %, is also analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the channel's corrugated surface is greatly influenced by rib shapes and their geometrical parameters. The highest Performance Evaluation Criteria index (PEC) is obtained for ribs with a space ratio (e/b) of 0 at Re 5000 and at 6 % volume fraction. Furthermore, the average Nusselt number increases with an increase in particle volume fraction and Reynolds. |
