Thermo-hydraulic performance of air heat exchanger using prepared ternary HNF: a CFD analysis
Authors: Rai Ranjeet , Kumar Vikash , Sahoo R.R. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Nowadays fossil fuel prices have increased; therefore, consumption of energy reduction has become a significant issue. Hence, this study aims to explore energy-efficient mechanical devices and their energy management.

Design/methodology/approach
This study focused on numerical analysis of various factors, including pressure drop, sensitivity, heat transfer and friction factor. This study compared the performance of two different arrangements of the heat exchanger: flat tube and staggered circular tube. This study also investigated the impact of varying coolant volume fractions.

Findings
This numerical analysis compares the geometric properties of flat and circular tube cross-sections while considering the flow of nanofluid inside and air outside. The current experimental investigation specifically examines the temperature-dependent characteristics (specific heat capacity, viscosity, density and thermal conductivity) of the stable ternary hybrid nanofluid mixture composed of Al2O3, CuO and TiO2.

Originality/value
While several researchers have conducted numerical investigations on laminar flow in circular tubes, only a few studies are available on flat tube heat exchangers that use nanofluids just for internal flow. Furthermore, there is no simultaneous study on internal and exterior flow. Therefore, more investigation is necessary to examine the combined three-dimensional examination of shapes and their thermal-hydraulic influence using hybrid nanofluids.

Authors: Usafzai Waqar Khan , Aly Emad H. , Pop Ioan 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the simultaneous effects of normal wall transpiration, stretching strength parameter, velocity slip and nanoparticles on the flow of a ternary hybrid nanofluid through an elastic surface. The goal is to understand the behavior of the flow field, temperature distribution, skin friction and temperature gradient under these conditions, and to explore the existence and nature of solutions under varying parameter values.

Design/methodology/approach
The analysis involves expressing the flow field, power-law temperature field, skin friction and temperature gradient in closed-form formulas. The study examines both stretching and shrinking surfaces, distinguishing between unique and dual solutions. The methodology includes deriving exact solutions for exponential and algebraic temperature and temperature rate formulas analytically by deriving the system of governing equations into ordinary differential equations.

Findings
The study reveals that for a stretching sheet, the solution is unique, whereas dual solutions are observed for a shrinking surface. Special solutions are provided for various parametric values, showing the behavior of the exponential and algebraic temperature and temperature rate, with a focus on identifying turning points that demarcate the existence and non-existence of single or multiple solutions. The solutions are represented through graphs and tables to facilitate a comprehensive qualitative analysis. The research identifies turning points that determine the presence or absence of single or multiple solutions, uncovering multiple solutions for different parameter sets. These findings are displayed graphically and in tabular form, highlighting the complex interplay between the parameters and the resulting flow behavior.

Originality/value
This analysis contributes to the field by providing new insights into the multiple solution phenomena in ternary hybrid nanofluid flows, particularly under the combined effects of normal wall transpiration, stretching strength, velocity slip and nanoparticle presence. The identification of turning points and the exact solutions for various temperature profiles are of significant value, offering a deeper understanding of the factors influencing the flow and thermal characteristics in such systems. The study’s findings have potential applications in optimizing fluid flow in engineering systems where such conditions are prevalent.

Effect of suspended particles on erosion characteristics of impeller steels utilizing combined CFD and DOE approach
Authors: Singh Gurmeet 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
The process of conveyance of solid–liquid mixtures poses a significant challenge due to the considerable wear and tear experienced by critical components. This issue not only affects the lifespan of the system but also jeopardizes its safe operation. The purpose of this study is to numerically and experimentally investigate the erosion wear behavior of impeller steels (SS-410 and S-317) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques, aiming to address the significant challenges posed by wear in slurry transportation systems.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, a robust two-phase solid-liquid model combining CFD with Discrete Phase Modeling (DPM) was applied to simulate the effects of coal-ash slurries on impeller steel. Additionally, an experimental evaluation was conducted using the DOE approach to analyze the impact of various parameters on impeller steel. This integrated methodology enabled a comprehensive analysis of erosion wear behavior and the influence of multiple factors on impeller durability by leveraging CFD for fluid flow dynamics and DPM to model particle interactions with the steel surface.

Findings
Simulation results highlight a strong link between particle size and the wear life of impeller steel. Through simulations and experiments on SS-410 and SS-317 under varied conditions, it’s evident that SS-410 outperforms SS-317 due to its higher hardness and density. This is supported by Taguchi’s method, with SS-410 showing a higher Signal-to-Noise ratio. Notably, particle size emerges as the most influential parameter compared to others.

Originality/value
Current research primarily focuses on either CFD or experimentation to predict pump impeller steel erosion wear, lacking relevant erosion mechanism insights and experimental data. This study bridges this gap by employing both CFD and DPM methods to comprehensively investigate particle effects on pump impeller steel and elucidate erosion mechanisms.

Species‐rich old grasslands have beneficial effects on the health and gut microbiome of bumblebees
Authors: Pornon André , Benoiston Anne‐Sophie , Escaravage Nathalie , Lihoreau Mathieu , Mahot‐Castaing Blandine , Martin Gabrielle , Moreau Lucie , White Joël 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that old, traditionally managed semi‐natural grasslands (SNGs) harbour specific plant assemblages characterized by high species richness, diversity, evenness and a great abundance and diversity of floral resources.

As nectar and pollen from many of these plants contain a multitude of favourable phytochemical compounds, we hypothesized that pollinator health and survival would improve in old, species‐rich hay SNGs compared to younger SNGs.

We monitored experimental colonies of bumblebees placed in hay SNGs of different ages.

The survival of bumblebees increased with grassland age, thus they lived longer and produced more workers in the old SNGs. The abundance of actinomorphic flowers (with radial symmetry) increased with the age of the SNGs and was positively correlated with the body size, body mass and lipid reserves of the bumblebees.

The taxonomic composition of gut microbiota changed during the experiment, with a significant decrease of core taxa Bombiscardovia and Bifidobacterium in young SNGs, while the abundance of Bombilactobacillus increased in old SNGs. At the end of the experiment, the bumblebees of young SNGs hosted lower abundances of Gilliamella than those of old SNGs. In old SNGs, there was a positive relationship between floral richness and the abundance of six taxa, including the three core taxa Bombiscardovia, Bifidobacterium and Snodgrassella. Microbiota α‐diversity decreased and microbiota β‐diversity increased over time in young SNGs, while both remained stable in old SNGs. Both deterministic and stochastic processes acting simultaneously in bumblebee microbiomes within young SNGs seemed to explain these changes.

Compared to old forests, very little attention has been paid to old, species‐rich grasslands. Considering their importance for pollinator health, as well as their high ecological and cultural values, it is crucial that the rare and endangered old, species‐rich hay SNGs are protected.
