The flow of non-Newtonian liquids and their heat transfer characteristic gained more importance due to their technological, industrial and in many engineering applications. Inspired by these applications, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of non-Newtonian liquid characterized by a power-law model is scrutinized. Further, viscous dissipation, Marangoni convection and thermal radiation are taken into the account. In addition, the production of entropy is investigated as a function of temperature, velocity and concentration. For different flow parameters, the total entropy production (EP) rate is examined. The appropriate similarity transformations are used to reduce the modeled equations reduced into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 45-order procedure is then used to solve these reduced equations numerically using the shooting technique. Results reveal that the escalating values of radiation parameter escalate the heat transference, but the contrary trend is portrayed for escalating values of power-law index. The augmented values of thermal Marangoni number decline the heat transference. The gain in values of radiation parameter progresses the entropy generation.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of thermal stratification together with variable viscosity on free convection flow of non- Newtonian fluids along a nonisothermal semi infinite vertical plate embedded in a saturated porous medium. The governing equations of continuity, momentum and energy are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved by using the Runge-Kutta-Gill method along with shooting technique. Governing parameters for the problem under study are the variable viscosity, thermal stratification parameter, non-Newtonian parameter and the power-law index parameter.The velocity and temperature distributions are presented and discussed. The Nusselt number is also derived and discussed numerically.

The unsteady two-dimensional boundary layer flow past a shrinking sheet in a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation using a similarity transformation before being solved numerically by the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method and the NAG Fortran library subroutine DO2HAF with shooting technique. The results obtained by both methods are in good agreement. It is found that dual solutions exist for a certain range of the unsteadiness parameter and the suction parameter. Moreover, by increasing the power-law index n, the skin friction coefficient is enhanced.

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the effects of magnetohydrodynamic force and buoyancy on convective heat and mass transfer flow past a moving vertical porous plate in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of self-similar equations using the similarity transformations. The resultant equations are then solved numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method along with the shooting technique. The results are obtained for the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. The effects of various parameters on flow variables are illustrated graphically, and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed.

This paper discusses the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid in a porous channel. Both suction and injection (blowing) cases are considered. Appropriate similarity transformations are invoked to convert the partial differential equations into ordinary ones. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used for the presentation of analytic solution of the nonlinear differential system. Graphical results provide the salient features of the embedded flow parameters which include the Reynolds number, the Deborah numbers, and the Hartman number. Comparison between the existing numerical solution in a Maxwell fluid and present deduced series solution in a limiting sense is excellent.

AbstractSuper-hydrophobic textured surfaces reduce hydrodynamic drag in pressure-driven laminar flows in micro-channels. However, despite the wide usage of non-Newtonian liquids in microfluidic devices, the flow behaviour of such liquids was rarely examined so far in the context of friction reduction in textured super-hydrophobic micro-channels. Thus, we have investigated the influence of topologically different rough surfaces on friction reduction of shear-thinning liquids in micro-channels. First, the friction factor ratio (a ratio of friction factor on a textured surface to a plain surface) on generic surface textures, such as posts, holes, longitudinal and transverse ribs, was estimated numerically over a range of Carreau number as a function of microchannel constriction ratio, gas fraction and power-law exponent. Resembling the flow behaviour of Newtonian liquids, the longitudinal ribs and posts have exhibited significantly less flow friction than the transverse ribs and holes while the friction factor ratios of all textures has exhibited non-monotonic variation with the Carreau number. While the minima of the friction factor ratio were noticed at a constant Carreau number irrespective of the microchannel constriction ratio, the minima have shifted to a higher Carreau number with an increase in the power-law index and gas fraction. Experiments were also conducted with aqueous Xanthan Gum liquids in micro-channels. The flow enhancement (the flow rate with super-hydrophobic textures with respect to a smooth surface) exhibited a non-monotonic behaviour and attenuated with an increase in power-law index tantamount to simulations. The results will serve as a guide to design frictionless micro-channels when employing non-Newtonian liquids.

The Magnetic Field

A two-dimensional stream of an magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Eyring-Powell fluid on a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and the Joule heating is analyzed. The flow model in the form of the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is transformed into a system of non-linear and coupled Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) by implementing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by the shooting technique with Adams-Moulton Method of fourth order. The numerical solution obtained for the velocity and temperature profiles has been presented through graphs for different choice of the physical parameters. The magnetic field is found to have a direct relation with the temperature profile and an inverse with the velocity profile. Increasing the thermal radiation, the temperature tends to rise.

In the present article, the double-diffusive natural convection of a micropolar nanofluid over a linearly stretching sheet is discussed. The flow equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The numerical solutions are computed using shooting technique and compared with the literature for the special case of pure fluid flow and found to be in good agreement. Graphical results are presented to illustrate the effects of various fluid flow parameters on velocity, heat transfer, nanoparticle volume fraction, salt concentration, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient for both assisting and opposing flows.

Shear Thinning Fluid

This paper studied the Magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluid over a rotating disk in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The steady, laminar and axial-symmetric flow is driven solely by the rotating disk, and the incompressible fluid obeys the inelastic Ostwald de-Waele power-law model. The governing differential equations were reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations by utilizing the generalized Karman similarity transformation. The nonlinear two-point boundary value problem is solved by multi-shooting method. Numerical results show that the magnetic parameter and the power-law index have significant effects on the swirling flow and heat transfer.

In the current study, we report the results of a detailed and systematic numerical investigation of developing pipe flow of inelastic non-Newtonian fluids obeying the power-law model. We are able to demonstrate that a judicious choice of the Reynolds number allows the development length at high Reynolds number to collapse onto a single curve (i.e., independent of the power-law index n). Moreover, at low Reynolds numbers, we show that the development length is, in contrast to existing results in the literature, a function of power-law index. Using a simple modification to the recently proposed correlation for Newtonian fluid flows (Durst, F. et al., 2005, “The Development Lengths of Laminar Pipe and Channel Flows,” J. Fluids Eng., 127, pp. 1154–1160) to account for this low Re behavior, we propose a unified correlation for XD∕D, which is valid in the range 0.4<n<1.5 and 0<Re<1000.
