Analytical approximations are developed to predict the effect of a temperature-dependent viscosity on convective heat transfer through liquids in fully developed turbulent pipe flow. The analysis expresses the heat transfer coefficient ratio for variable to constant viscosity in terms of the friction factor ratio for variable to constant viscosity, Tw, Tb, and a fluid viscosity-temperature parameter β. The results are independent of any particular eddy diffusivity distribution. The formulas developed here represent an analytical approximation to the model developed by Goldmann. These approximations are in good agreement with numerical solutions of the model nonlinear differential equation. To compare the results of these calculations with experimental data, a knowledge of the effect of variable viscosity on the friction factor is required. When available correlations for the friction factor are used, the results given here are seen to agree well with experimental heat transfer coefficients over a considerable range of μw/μb.

Manufacturing of modern coating materials doped with magnetic nanoparticles has arisen as an exciting new area of materials processing fluid dynamics. Methanol is primarily used in chemical manufacturing, specialized vehicles fuel, energy carrier, as an antifreeze in pipelines, in wastewater treatment plant, and many more. In this article, a mathematical model is therefore developed to study crosswise flow of methanol-based ferromagnetic fluid through a permeable medium with suction/injection effects. Temperature-dependent viscosity is taken with Reynolds exponential model. The Tiwari–Das and Maxwell–Garnett nanofluid models are used, which alters the electrical conductivity, density, and thermal conductivity properties with nanoparticle volume fraction. The two-dimensional mass, momentum, and energy equations are normalized into nonlinear system comprising ordinary differential equations via appropriate similarity transformations. The solution of the emerging physical problem is attained by shooting scheme in MATLAB symbolic software. Validation of the results is presented through comparison with previously reported literature in the limiting sense. The influence of pertinent parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics is revealed through graphs. It is found that velocity profiles are suppressed with greater magnetic parameter and porosity parameters but temperature profile is enhanced. Velocity and temperature profiles for injection case are higher when compared with the suction phenomenon. Shear stress at the wall is decreased with volume fraction. Heat transfer gradient at the wall is significantly enhanced with volume fraction.

This article analyses the thermal decomposition in an unsteady MHD mixed convection flow of a reactive, electrically conducting Casson fluid within a vertical channel filled with a saturated porous medium and the influence of the temperature dependent properties on the flow. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible with the viscosity coefficient varying exponentially with temperature. The flow is subjected to an externally applied uniform magnetic field. The exothermic chemical kinetics inherent in the flow system give rise to heat dissipation. A technique based on a semi-discretization finite difference scheme and the shooting method is applied to solve the dimensionless governing equations. The effects of the temperature dependent viscosity, the magnetic field and other important parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, the wall shear stress and the wall heat transfer rate are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively and qualitatively. The fluid flow model revealed flow characteristics that have profound ramifications including the increased heat transfer enhancement attributes of the reactive temperature dependent viscosity Casson fluid flow.
