Investigation of Laminar Heat Transfer of Binary Nanofluid on Horizontal Stretching Plate

In this paper, laminar heat transfer of binary nanofluid on horizontal stretching plate investigated numerically. This paper focuses effect of the nanofluidʹs (Brownian diffusion, thermophoresis effect) and the binary fluid parameters on a convective heat transfer flux. The coupled government equations were solved by the similarity solution. To investigate thermal parameters of the nanofluid and the binary fluid, dimensionless parameters such as Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian diffusion parameter, Thermophoresis parameter and Dufour number defined and effect of them on heat transfer rate investigated. Results show nanofluid in solutal fluid has a slightly lower heat transfer rate; rising nanofluidʹs physical parameters such as Brownian diffusion, Thermophoresis parameter and Physical parameters of diffusive fluid (Dufour Number) lead to decrease thermal performance.
