The present work discloses the magnetohydrodynamic pulsating flow of blood-carrying nanoparticles in a channel with the viscous dissipation and Joule heating effects. Couple stress fluid is treated as blood which is the base fluid. The Maxwell Garnett model for thermal conductivity of nanofluid is considered. The thermal radiation and heat source/sink impacts are taken into account. Analytical expressions for dimensionless flow variables are obtained by employing the perturbation method. The impact of active parameters on flow variables is graphically presented. The obtained results show that the velocity of nanofluid increases with an increment in frequency parameter, whereas it decreases for a rise in Hartmann number, nanoparticles volume fraction and couple stress parameter. There is an enhancement in temperature of nanofluid with increasing viscous dissipation, whereas there is a decrease in temperature with an increase in the applied magnetic field. The Nusselt number rises with an enhancement in volume fraction of nanoparticles and Hartmann number at both the walls. Further, the validity of present results is assured by the comparison of analytical and numerical outcomes with an excellent harmony.

Our motive is to examine the impact of thermal radiation and suction or injection with viscous dissipation on an MHD boundary layer flow past a vertical porous stretched sheet immersed in a porous medium. The set of the flow equations is converted into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. We use Runge Kutta method and shooting technique in MATLAB Package to solve the set of equations. The impact of non-dimensional physical parameters on flow profiles is analysed and depicted in graphs. We observe the influence of non-dimensional physical quantities on the Nusselt number, the Sherwood number, and skin friction and presented in tables. A comparison of the obtained numerical results with existing results in a limiting sense is also presented. We enhance radiation to observe the deceleration of fluid velocity and temperature profile for both suction and injection. While enhancing porosity parameter accelerates velocity whereas decelerates temperature profile. As the heat source parameter increases, the temperature of the fluid decreases for both suction and injection, it has been found. With the increasing values of the radiation parameter, the skin friction and heat transfer rate decreases. Increasing magnetic parameter decelerates the skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number.

Abstract This paper investigates issues around four-phase (Oil/CO2/water/sand) flows occurring within subsea pipelines. Multi-phase flows are the norm, as production fluid from reservoirs typically include sand with water. However, these multi-phase flow mixtures, whether three- or four-phase, are at risk of forming slug flows. The inclusion of sand in this mixture is concerning, as it not only leads to increased levels of pipeline erosion but it also has the potential, to accumulate sand at the bottom of the pipe, blocking the pipe or at the very least hindering the flow. This latter impact can prove problematic, as a minimum fluid velocity must be maintained to ensure the safe and regulated flow of particles along a pipeline. The presence of low amounts of sand particles in oil/gas/water flow mixtures can serve to reduce the pressure exerted on bends. The sand volume fraction must in this case, be relatively low such that the particles’ resistance causes only a moderate loss in pressure. Therefore, the study aims to gauge the impact of oil/gas/water/sand mixtures on various pipeline structures as well as to further investigate the phenomenon of flow-induced vibration to determine the optimal flow variables which can be applied predicting the structural responses of subsea pipelines.

A numeric investigation is executed to understand the impact of moving-wall direction, thermal radiation, entropy generation and nanofluid volume fraction on combined convection and energy transfer of nanoliquids in a differential heated box. The top wall of the enclosed box is assumed to move either to the left or the right direction which affects the stream inside the box. The horizontal barriers are engaged to be adiabatic. The derived mathematical model is solved by the control volume technique. The results are presented graphically to know the impact of the dissimilar ways of moving wall, Richardson number, Bejan number, thermal radiation, cup mixing and average temperatures. It is concluded that the stream and the thermal distribution are intensely affected by the moving-wall direction. It is established that the thermal radiation enhances the convection energy transport inside the enclosure.

The aim of this article is to study time dependent rotating single-wall electrically conducting carbon nanotubes with aqueous suspensions under the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation in a permeable medium. The impact of viscous dissipation is taken into account. The basic governing equations, which are in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs), are transformed to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) suitable for transformations. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied for the solution. The effect of numerous parameters on the temperature and velocity fields is explanation by graphs. Furthermore, the action of significant parameters on the mass transportation and the rates of fiction factor are determined and discussed by plots in detail. The boundary layer thickness was reduced by a greater rotation rate parameter in our established simulations. Moreover, velocity and temperature profiles decreased with increases of the unsteadiness parameter. The action of radiation phenomena acts as a source of energy to the fluid system. For a greater rotation parameter value, the thickness of the thermal boundary layer decreases. The unsteadiness parameter rises with velocity and the temperature profile decreases. Higher value of augments the strength of frictional force within a liquid motion. For greater and ; the heat transfer rate rises. Temperature profile reduces by rising values of .

In this study, an investigation has been carried out to examine the effects of thermal radiation, heat generation/absorption, viscous dissipation and suction parameter on MHD flow of water-base nanofluid (Ag, Cu, Al2O3, CuO and TiO2). This study also focused on the mixed convective flow of water-base nanofluid due to a vertical permeable plate in the presence of convective boundary condition. Further, heat transfer has been inspected for water-base fluid influenced by heat generation/absorption and viscous dissipation. Moreover, the governing equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations via Sparrow–Quack–Boerner local non-similarity method. These nonlinear ODEs are simulated numerically by means of Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method (RKF-45). The impact of pertinent parameters on the dimensionless velocity, nanofluid temperature, skin friction and local Nusselt number are discussed and displayed. The results match with a special case of formerly available work. The present exploration exhibits that nanoparticle volume fraction increases the velocity and temperature of Cu-water nanofluid. It is also shown that magnetic parameter reduces the heat transfer rate.

Abstract In this article, heat transfer with nonlinear thermal radiation on sinusoidal motion of magnetic solid particles in a dust Jeffrey fluid has been studied. The effects of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and hall current are also taken under consideration. The governing equation of motion and energy equation are modelled with help of Ohms law for fluid and dust phases. The solutions of the resulting ordinary coupled partial differential equations are solved analytically. The impact of all the physical parameters of interest such as Hartmann number, slip parameter, Hall parameter, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number and particle volume fraction are demonstrated mathematically and graphically. Trapping mechanism is also discussed in detail by drawing contour lines. The present analysis affirms many interesting behaviours, which permit further study on solid particles motion with heat and mass transfer.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate entropy generation in an incompressible magneto-micropolar nanofluid flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet. The flow is subjected to thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. The energy equation is extended by considering the impact of the Joule heating term because of an imposed magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The flow, heat and mass transfer model are solved numerically using the spectral quasilinearization method. An analysis of the performance of this method is given. Findings It is found that the method is robust, converges fast and gives good accuracy. In terms of the physically significant results, the authors show that the irreversibility caused by the thermal diffusion the dominants other sources of entropy generation and the surface contributes significantly to the total irreversibility. Originality/value The flow is subjected to a combination of a buoyancy force, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and thermal radiation. The flow equations are solved numerically using the spectral quasiliearization method. The impact of a range of physical and chemical parameters on entropy generation, velocity, angular velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are determined. The current results may help in industrial applicants. The present problem has not been considered elsewhere.

ABSTRACTAn analysis of the Poiseuille-Couette flow of two immiscible fluids between inclined parallel plates is investigated. One of the fluids is assumed to be electrically conducting while the other fluid and channel walls are assumed to be electrically insulating. The viscous and Ohmic dissipation terms are taken into account in the energy equation. The coupled nonlinear equations are solved both analytically valid for small values of the product of Prandtl number and Eckert number (= ε) and numerically valid for all ε. Solutions for large ε reveal a marked change on the flow and rate of heat transfer. The effects of various parameters such as Hartmann number, Grashof number, angle of inclination, ratios of viscosities, widths and thermal conductivities are presented and discussed in detail.
