The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00072 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

ABSTRACT

The heat transfer, fluid flow, and entropy generation characteristics of a diamond-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluid are investigated numerically for different nanoparticle volume fractions under laminar flow conditions. In addition, diamond/water and Fe3O4/water nanofluids are investigated to compare with their hybrid form. The results are presented at the given Reynolds number, velocity, mass flow rate, and pumping power. As a result, overabundant enhancements are observed in thermal performances of nanofluids when evaluation is realized for the same Reynolds number. At Re = 2000, a diamond-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluid (φ = 0.2%) provides a convective heat transfer enhancement of 30.31%. However, at V = 1.3 m/s, the convective heat transfer coefficient obtained for a diamond-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluid (φ = 0.2%) is 2.17% higher than that of pure water. It is also observed that pure water has a better convective heat transfer rate compared to a diamond-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluid when the evaluation is performed at the same pumping power. Among all evaluation parameters, it is found that there is a minimum entropy generation point. Although it is difficult to decide, but the results obtained with evaluation performed at the same velocity or the same pumping power can be more realistic and reasonable.
