A numerical study of Al2O3 nanoparticle-based Diesel B0 fuel in a horizontal duct

Abstract

Diesel fuel incorporating nanoparticles can enhance engine efficiency, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce contaminants. Here, we investigated the impact of adding Al2O3 nanoparticles to  Diesel B0 fuel on the temperature and velocity profiles. The longitudinal flow of  Diesel B0 nanofluid composed of  Al2O3 nanoparticles maintained in an impenetrable horizontal channel design is computationally analyzed in this research. The movement of nanofluid with applied magnetic forces in a transverse direction is triggered by the externally generated time-varying pressure gradient. The enhanced cubic basis-spline differential quadrature method is employed to simulate the partial derivative equations. Graphs have been utilized in order to visually analyze the impact of a range of dimensionless fluid parameters, including the volume fraction of  Al2O3 nanoparticle, Reynolds number, magnetic effects on flow characteristics. It is observed that when employed at specified volumetric fractions and temperatures,  Al2O3 nanoparticle can be useful in improving the transmission of heat during controlled combustion. The interaction between the magnetic field and charged nanoparticles can alter the characteristics of heat transfer and fluid flow, and this relationship is quantified by the Hartmann number.
