Abstract The significance of nanoparticle shapes is evident in various domains detecting trace metals biomolecular assays and nanotechnology applications. present study focused on Copper Aluminum-water hybrid nanofluid flow inside a lid-driven cavity. heated elliptic-shaped obstacle emended the square contained water two categories nanoparticles with sphere, column lamina shapes. solution projected model governing equations evaluated by Galerkin Method. Long short-term memory used to ensure...
A comparative experimental study on the effect of different cooking loads for two solar pots incorporated with thermal energy storage (TES) materials is presented. The have cavities in their walls placing TES and are designed to be used parabolic cookers. One pot filled erythritol as material cavity, while cavity other sunflower oil material. During period, heated up energy, occurs well pots. placed wonderbag slow cookers off-sunshine using stored heat cavities. Water masses 0.5,1.0, 1.5,...
Solar cookers are not all-weather cooking devices and operate poorly during cloudy low sunshine conditions. Their performance is evaluated usually high solar radiation The objective of this study to compare two under variable non-ideal weather comparison carried out conditions the these cookers. This a major novelty compared previous work reported where tested ideal Experiments PV DC battery-powered cooker parabolic dish presented in paper. A total six water heating tests comprehensively...
Novel thermal characteristics of drying banana slices in an indirect dryer are presented for four different experimental conditions the forced convection mode. The novel include measuring airflow velocity chamber, profiles trays comprehensively and relative humidity under conditions. Two tests carried 16 h two consecutive days (8 per day each test). first test is on cloudy followed by a sunny day, while second out days. Tests 3 4 24 with high (0.23 m/s) low (0.11 average chamber velocities...
