Purpose This paper aims to working out exact solutions for the boundary layer flow of some nanofluids over porous stretching/shrinking surfaces with different configurations. To serve to this aim, five types of nanoparticles together with the water as base fluid are under consideration, namely, Ag, Cu, CuO, Al2O3 and TiO2. Design/methodology/approach The physical flow is affected by the presence of velocity slip as well as temperature jump conditions. Findings The knowledge on the influences of nanoparticle volume fraction on the practically significant parameters, such as the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer, for the above considered nanofluids, is easy to gain from the extracted explicit formulas. Originality/value Particularly, formulas clearly point that the heat transfer rate is not only dependent on the thermal conductivity of the material but it also highly relies on the heat capacitance as well as the density of the nanofluid under consideration.

The flow of conducting Carreau fluid on a permeable stretching/shrinking surface is analytically investigated by considering the thermal radiation, mass transfer, and cross diffusion effects. A uniform external magnetic field is employed which gives rise to Hall current. The nonlinear PDEs are converted to a set of ODEs using similarity transformations. The developed ODEs are solved using the well established mathematical procedure of Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The influence of associated parameters over the state variables of the Carreau fluid are analytically studied and discussed through different graphs. It is found that fluid velocity augments (drops) with the rising power law index and Hall parameter (velocity slip and material parameters). The temperature field increases with the higher Dufour number and radiation parameter values, and decreases with larger Prandtl number. The concentration field augments with the larger Soret number and velocity slip parameter values whereas drops with the rising Schmidt number. The variations in skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed using tables and it is noticed that the mass and heat energy transfer rates are controlled by the varying values of Dufour and Soret parameters. The comparison between present and published work shows complete agreement.

The energy crisis in the last two decades has turned the attention of scientific and engineering communities to redesigned and developed heat-fluid interaction systems. All of the details in analyses are reconsidered to reduce energy consumption. The present work examines the effects of temperature and velocity jump conditions on heat transfer, fluid flow over a single rotating disk. The flow due to rotating disks is of great interest in thermal engineering as it appears in many industrial and engineering applications such as gas turbine engines and micropumps. The related equation of flow, which is nonlinear and coupled, and heat transfer governing equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by applying the so-called classical approach which was first introduced by Von Karman. Instead of this approach, a pure numerical one, the recently developed popular semi numerical analytical technique differential transform method (DTM), with Benton transformation, is employed to solve the reduced governing equations under the assumptions of velocity-slip and temperature jump conditions on the disk surface. The solution is valid for continuum and slip-flow regime which has a Knudsen number smaller than 0.1. The results attained for various physical cases are interpreted by using non-dimensional parameters related to flow and temperature fields. Velocity and temperature profiles are presented graphically. The effect of various parameters such as the Knudsen Number (Kn), Reynolds Number (Re) and Nusselt Numbers (Nu) are examined. The observed physical consequences are the velocity slip and temperature jump at the wall becoming strongly dependant on the Knudsen number. It is also observed that the temperature jump and velocity jump conditions have nonlinear effects on slip; these effects are investigated with great details and presented graphically.

In this paper, peristaltic transport of a Carreau fluid in an asymmetric channel is studied theoretically under zero Reynolds number and long-wavelength approximation for both slip and no-slip flow (Kn  =  0). The problem is analyzed using a perturbation expansion in terms of the Weissenberg number as a parameter. Analytic forms for the axial velocity component and the pressure gradient are obtained to second order. The pressure rise is computed numerically and explained graphically. Moreover, the effects of the slip parameter, Weissenberg number, power-law index, and phase difference on the pressure gradient, the axial velocity, and the trapping phenomena have been discussed.

General temperature-jump, velocity-slip, and concentration-jump conditions on solid surfaces in rarefied multi-component gas flows are developed using the kinetic theory of gases. The presented model provides general boundary conditions which can be simplified according to the problem under consideration. In some limiting cases, the results of the current work are compared to the previously available and widely used boundary conditions reported in the literature. The details of the mathematical procedure are also provided to give a better insight about the physical importance of each term in the slip/jump boundary conditions. Also the disagreements between previously reported results are investigated to arrive at the most proper expressions for the slip/jump boundary conditions. The temperature-jump boundary condition is also modified to handle polyatomic gas flows unlike previously reported studies which were mostly concerned with monatomic gases.
