摘要：
This paper presents a three-dimensional, numerical thermo-hydrodynamic and second low analysis of nanofluid flow inside a square duct equipped with transverse twisted-baffles. A finite volume method is employed to simulate forced convection of heat in the system with the inclusion of Brownian motion of the nanoparticles. The ultimate aim is to gain further understanding of the underlying physical processes and also to determine the optimal design and working conditions of the system. The effects of variations in the pitch intensity (gamma) from 180 degrees to 540 degrees and volume fraction of nanoparticles (phi) from 0 to 0.05 on the nanofluid flow, heat convection and thermodynamic irreversibilities are investigated. The numerical results show that the baffle with gamma = 360 degrees features the maximum value of heat transfer coefficient among all values of y. Additionally, the baffle with gamma= 540 degrees shows the minimum pressure drop for the entire range of y. Finally, it is shown that the thermal entropy generation decreases by increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles or inserting baffles inside the duct. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
