“MHD Natural Convection of Water in An L-Shaped Container Filled with An Aluminium Metal Foam”

The current research employed computational simulation to assess magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) natural convection in an L-shaped container with metal foam, which has a variety of engineering applications such as electronic systems, heat exchangers, solar collectors and nuclear energy. The influence of varied aspect ratios (AR), tilted angles of the container (θ), Hartmann number (Ha) and porosities (F) on the cooling rate concerning average Nusselt number (Nuave), Nusselt number enhancement (NNE), surface temperature (Ts) and entropy generation (S) were evaluated. According to the findings of this study, no effect of the MHD and θ on the Nuave, Ts and S except for porosity of 0.9. Furthermore, the Nuave enhances while the Ts and S reduce as the aspect ratio of horizontal (ARh), vertical (ARv), and Darcy number (Da) increases. In this case, the maximum increase in NNE was 26.7 times with the greatest reductions in Ts and S being 59% and 97% respectively compared to the unfavourable design data. Thus, this investigation of the CFD yields a novel approach and valuable recommendations for the optimum cooling L-shaped container design.
