In this study, a numerical assessment was carried out on heat transfer and entropy production of a three-dimensional heat sink exposed to an impinging jet, where the area between the heat sink fins is filled with aluminum foam saturated withhybrid nanofluid. Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer’s model with the local thermal equilibrium was considered. The effects of various important parameters such as Reynolds number, volumetric concentrations, Darcy number, porosity, and the diameter of nanoparticleson fluid flow, heat transfer, drop pressure, and entropy generation were investigated. A finite-volume approach with SIMPLE algorithm was employed to solve continuity, momentum, energy, and entropy equations with the help of the Ansys-Fluent 14.5 program. Regarding the validation of the computational approach used in this paper, a strong consensus has been reached with other findings available in the literature. Outcomes indicated that boosting Darcy numberand porosityof the used porous material helps increase the heat exchange rate by up toand, respectively. On the other hand, we obtained aenhancement in the heat transmission rate when using nanoparticles with a diameterofinstead of nanoparticles with a diameter of 60 nm. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that boosting,andminimize drop pressure by various proportions. Based on the entropy production analysis, it is possible to infer that entropy due to heat transfer is more dominant than other types of entropy with all parameters analyzed. Also, it can be deducted that as the values ofandgrow and the values ofdecline, the total entropy productionrises up to,and, respectively. The same findings were reached with the Bejan number, but different percentages. Finally, three correlations of Nusselt number with several variables with an error not exceedinghave been suggested. The proposed study’s findings may be utilized to define appropriate process factors for improved thermodynamic efficiency of heat sinks using hybrid nanofluids and porous media.
