The micropolar nanofluids are the potential liquids that enhance the thermophysical features and ability of heat transportation instead of base liquids. Alumina and Titania nanoparticles are mixed in a micropolar fluid. The impact of convective boundary condition is also examined with assisting and opposing flows of both nanofluids. The main objective of this study is to investigate mixed convective flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids across a cylinder in a saturated porous medium. Non-similar variables are used to make the governing equations dimensionless. The local similar and non-similar solutions are obtained by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method of seventh order. The impacts of various embedded variables on the flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids are investigated and interpreted graphically. It is demonstrated that the skin friction and heat transfer rates depend on solid volume fraction of nanoparticles, Biot number, mixed convection, and material parameters.

The prediction of electrically conducting fluid past a localized zone of applied magnetic field is the key for many practical applications. In this paper, the characteristics of flow and heat transfer (HI) for a liquid metal in a rectangular duct under a local magnetic field are investigated numerically using a three-dimensional model and the impact of some parameters, such as constrainment factor, κ, interaction parameter, N, and Reynolds number, Re, is also discussed. It is found that, in the range of Reynolds number 100 ≤ Re ≤ 900, the flow structures can be classified into the following four typical categories: no vortices, one pair of magnetic vortices, three pairs of vortices and vortex shedding. The simulation results indicate that the local heterogeneous magnetic field can enhance the wall-heat transfer and the maximum value of the overall increment of HI is about 13.6%. Moreover, the pressure drop penalty (ΔPpenalty) does not increasingly depend on the N for constant κ and Re. Thus, the high overall increment of HI can be obtained when the vortex shedding occurs.

In this framework, the boundary-layer mass and heat flow in a liquid film over an unsteady stretching cylinder are discussed under the influence of a magnetic field. By means of the similarity transformations the highly non-linear governing system of PDE is converted to ODE. We use the built-in function bvp4c in MATLAB to solve this system of ODE. The impact of distinctive parameters on velocity and temperature profile in the existence of an external magnetic field is depicted via graphs and deep analysis is also presented.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to investigate an oscillatory fluid flow and heat transfer through a porous medium between parallel plates in the presence of an inclined magnetic field, radiative heat flux and heat source. It is assumed that electrical conductivity of the fluid is small and the electromagnetic force produced is very small. The governing coupled equations of motion and energy are solved analytically. Numerical results for the velocity and temperature profiles, local skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number for various values of physical parameters are discussed numerically and presented graphically.

Since the days of Darcy, many refinements have been made to the equations used to model single-phase fluid flow and heat transfer in a saturated porous medium, to allow for such basic things as inertial effects, boundary friction and viscous dissipation, and also additional effects such as those due to rotation or a magnetic field. These developments are reviewed.
