Heat and mass transfer behavior of unsteady flow of squeezing nanofluids between two parallel plates in the sight of uniform magnetic field with slip velocity effect is investigated. The governing equations representing fluid flow have been transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The equations thus obtained have been solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. Effects on the behavior of velocity, temperature, and concentration for various values of relevant parameters are illustrated graphically. The skin-friction coefficient and heat and mass transfer rate are also tabulated for various governing parameters. The results indicate that, for nanofluid flow, the rates of heat and mass transfer are inversely proportional to nanoparticle volume fraction and magnetic parameter. The rate of mass transfer increases with increasing values of Schmidt number and squeeze number.

Heat transfer behavior of unsteady flow of squeezing nanofluid (Copper+water) between two parallel plates is investigated. By using the appropriate transformation for the velocity and temperature, the basic equations governing the flow and heat transfer were reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations. These equations subjected to the associated boundary conditions were solved analytically using Homotopy Perturbation Method and numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. Effects on the behavior of velocity and temperature for various values of relevant parameters are illustrated graphically. The skin-friction coefficient, heat transfer and Nusselt number rate are also tabulated for various governing parameters. The results indicate that, for nanofluid flow, the rates of heat transfer and velocity had direct relationship with squeeze number and nanoparticle volume fraction they are also a decreasing function of those parameters

Abstract In this paper, the influence of chemical reaction and heat source/sink on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow that squeezed between two radiating parallel plates embedded in porous media is investigated analytically. We consider water as base fluid and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) as its nanoparticle. We reduced the basic partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the squeeze number, permeability parameter of porous media, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and scaled parameter of chemical reaction on the flow, heat, and mass transfer are considered and assigned to graphs. The physical quantities such as Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are computed for Al2O3–water, TiO2–water, Ag–water, and Cu–water nanofluids and assigned through graphs.

We investigate the effects of thermal radiation and convective boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer in nanofluid flow over a permeable flat plate. The mathematical model for the nanofluid incorporates variations in the nanoparticle volume fraction of up to 20%. The performance of two water-based nanofluids, namely, stable suspensions of copper and gold nanoparticles in water was investigated. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary ones using a similarity transformation and solved numerically. The numerical results were validated by comparison with previously published results in the literature. The main focus of this paper is to study the fluid and surface parameters such as the radiation parameter, and suction/injection parameter, solute concentration profiles, as well as the skin friction coefficient and heat and mass transfer rates were conducted.

Abstract In this article, the mass and heat transfer flow of Ag–kerosene oil nanofluid over a cone under the effects of suction/injection, magnetic field, thermophoresis, Brownian diffusion, and Ohmic-viscous dissipation was examined. On applying the suitable transformation, PDEs directing the flow of nanofluid were molded to dimensionless ODEs. The solution of the reduced boundary value problem was accomplished by applying Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method via shooting scheme and the upshots were sketched and interpreted. The values of shear stress and coefficients of heat and mass transfer were attained for some selected values of governing factors. The obtained results showed that when the amount of surface mass flux shifts from injection to the suction domain, the heat and mass transfer rate grew uniformly. However, they have regularly condensed with the rise in the magnitude of the magnetic field and particle volume fraction. Several researches have been done using cone-shaped geometry under the influence of various factors affecting the fluid flow, yet, there exists no such investigation that incorporated the response of viscous-Ohmic dissipation, heat absorption/generation, suction/blowing, Brownian diffusion, and thermophoresis on the hydro-magnetic flow of silver-kerosene oil nanofluid over a cone.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a three-dimensional boundary layer flow with considering heat and mass transfer on a nonlinearly stretching sheet by using a novel operational-matrix-based method. Design/methodology/approach The partial differential equations that governing the problem are converted into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with considering suitable similarity transformations. A direct numerical method based on the operational matrices of integration and product for the linear barycentric rational basic functions is used to solve the nonlinear system of ODEs. Findings Graphical and tabular results are provided to illustrate the effect of various parameters involved in the problem on the velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle volume fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient. Comparison between the obtained results, numerical results based on the Maple's dsolve (type = numeric) command and previous existing results affirms the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Originality/value The motivation of the present study is to provide an effective computational method based on the operational matrices of the barycentric cardinal functions for solving the problem of three-dimensional nanofluid flow with heat and mass transfer. The convergence analysis of the presented scheme is discussed. The benefit of the proposed method (PM) is that, without using any collocation points, the governing equations are converted to the system of algebraic equations.

The unsteady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic stagnation point flow of a nanofluid with thermophoresis effect is investigated numerically. The technique of similarity transformation is implemented to obtain the self-similar ordinary differential equations and then the self-similar equations are solved numerically using shooting method. This analysis explores the conditions of the existence, non-existence, uniqueness, and duality of the solutions of self-similar equations numerically. Dual solutions of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are reported for different values of the each parameter involved for two types of nanoparticles, namely copper (Cu) and gold (Au) in the water-based fluid. It is found that the dual solutions exist for negative values of unsteady parameter A, whereas for positive values of unsteady parameter, the solution is unique. The results also indicate that the nanoparticle volume fraction reduces the skin friction coefficient, the heat transfer rate as well as mass transfer rate. Further, due to increase of thermophoresis parameter, the concentration inside the boundary layer reduces and the mass transfer rate enhances. In addition, to validate the present numerical results, comparison with published results is made and found to be in excellent agreement.

This paper presents a thermal and flow analysis of an unsteady squeezing nanofluid flow and heat transfer using nanofluid based on Brinkman model in presence of variable magnetic field. Galerkin method is used to solve the non-linear differential equations governing the problem. Squeezing flow between parallel plates is very applicable in the many industries and it means that one or both of the parallel plates have vacillation. The effects of active parameters such as the Hartman number, squeeze number, and heat source parameter are discussed. Results for temperature distribution and velocity profile, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient by Galerkin method are presented. As can be seen in results, the values of Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient for CuO is better than Al2O3. Also, according to figures, as nanofluid volume fraction increases, Nusselt number increases and skin friction coefficient decreases, increase in the Hartman number results in an increase in velocity and temperature profiles and an increase in squeeze number can be associated with the decrease in the velocity. <br><br><font color="red"><b> This article has been corrected.

Abstract This article aims to study theoretically the combined magneto hydrodynamic flows of casson viscoplastic nanofluid from a horizontal isothermal circular cylinder in non-Darcy porous medium. The impacts of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are consolidated and studied. The governing partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable non-similarity transformation and are solved numerically using Keller-Box finite difference technique. The numerical method is validated with previous published work and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. Numerical results for velocity, temperature, concentration along with skin friction coefficient, heat and mass transfer rate are discussed for various values of physical parameters. It is observed that velocity, heat and mass transfer rate are increased with increasing casson fluid parameter whereas temperature, concentration and skin friction are decreased. Velocity is reduced with increasing Forchheimer parameter whereas temperature and nano-particle concentration are both enhanced. An increase in magnetic parameter is seen to increase temperature and concentration whereas velocity, skin friction heat and mass transfer rate are decreased. The present model finds applications in electric-conductive nano-materials of potential use in aviation and different enterprises, energy systems and thermal enhancement of industrial flow processes.

The present work gives out the heat and mass transfer effect of micropolar nanofluid flow. The fluid viscosity is assumed as temperature dependent and it varies linearly. The radiative heat flux and the viscous dissipation are also considered in the energy equation. The partial differential equations governing the flow have been transformed into system of ordinary differential equation and explained numerically through fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. Fluid properties such as velocity, angular velocity, temperature, and concentration are analyzed graphically for a range of solid volume fraction (0<ɸ<2) of nanosolid particles.
