خلاصه مقاله:
Considering the vital role transformers perform in power distribution networks, it is significant that transformer oil's thermal performance be enhanced. Furthermore, a transformer's core temperature affects how well it performs electrically. This study, which presents a two-dimensional model of a transformer, explores theoretically and simulates the natural convection heat transfer of a nano-oil sample containing an Fe۳O۴ nanoparticle in the base fluid of Naphthenic oil using the lattice Boltzmann method and D۲Q۹ model. For nanoparticle volume fractions of ۰% to ۵% and Rayleigh numbers of ۱۰۳ to ۱۰۵, modelling and solutions were carried out and, in this range, temperature contours and Nusselt number average are provided. Based on the results of this investigation, the transformer core's cooling performance has been enhanced by the addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid. Furthermore, by raising the nanoparticles' volume fraction and Rayleigh number, the natural convection heat transfer was improved. When compared to pure Naphthenic oil, the heat transfer has improved when using Naphthenic-Fe۳O۴ nano-oil, which has the greatest Nusselt number average of ۱۳.۰۹ at a volume fraction of ۵% and Rayleigh number of ۱۰۵.
