The present study investigates the heat transfer and flow behaviour of magnetohydrodynamic dusty-nano- and dusty-hybrid nanoliquids caused by the stretched surface. We considered the copper oxide (CuO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticle suspension in water (H2O) as the base liquid. Similarity transformations are used to transform the partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations and solved by the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg 45 method with a shooting procedure. Outcomes of the velocity and thermal gradients for diverse physical impacts are depicted via plots and the skin friction factor and heat transfer rate are illustrated via tabulated values. Results reveal that dusty-hybrid nanoliquids and their conductive properties play an important role throughout the study. A growth in the mass concentration of dust particles augments the temperature and the Nusselt number, but the reverse reaction to the friction factor and velocity profile has been seen. The Eckert number has a propensity to magnify the temperature of the fluid phase and dust phase. The interaction of dust and nanoparticles extends to the greater heat transmission in the dust phase associated with the fluid phase. Hybridization showed a positive response in the heat transmission of the nanoliquid. The dusty hybrid-nano liquid shows higher heat dispersion compared to the dusty nanoliquid.

The present study deals with steady incompressible magneto hydrodynamic hyperbolic tangent fluid flow induced by a convectively heated stretching surface with the suspension of dust particles, Darcy-Forchheimer, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Ohmic heating. Similarity transformations were used to convert partial differential equations (PDEs) to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NODEs) which are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method. The effect of pertinent parameters on velocity and temperature profiles of both fluid and dust phase within the boundary layer has been studied by considering various values of controlling parameters. Additionally, the skin friction coefficient and reduced heat transfer coefficient have been examined for various values of the governing parameters. It is found that Hartmann number and Forchheimer parameter reduce friction factor and heat transfer rates.

Heat transfer characteristics of a Berman flow of water based nanofluids containing copper (Cu) and alumina (Al2O3) as nanoparticles in a porous channel with Navier slip, viscous dissipation, and convective cooling are investigated. It is assumed that the exchange of heat with the ambient surrounding takes place at the channel walls following Newton’s law of cooling. The governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions are converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations. These equations are solved analytically by regular perturbation methods with series improvement technique and numerically using an efficient Runge-Kutta Fehlberg integration technique coupled with shooting scheme. The effects of the governing parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, skin friction, pressure drop, and Nusselt numbers are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively.

This paper reflects the effects of velocity and thermal slip conditions on the stagnation-point mixed convective flow of Cross liquid moving over a vertical plate entrenched in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium. A Cross liquid is a type of non-Newtonian liquid whose viscosity depends on the shear rate. The leading partial differential equations (PDEs) are altered to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via feasible similarity transformations. These transmuted equations are computed numerically through the bvp4c solver. The authority of sundry parameters on the temperature and velocity distributions is examined graphically. In addition, the characteristics of heat transfer are analyzed in the presence of the impact of drag forces. The outcomes reveal that the permeability parameter decelerates the drag forces and declines the rate of heat transfer in both forms of solutions. Moreover, it is found that the drag forces decline with the growing value of the Weissenberg parameter in the upper branch solutions, while a reverse trend is revealed in the lower branch solutions. However, the rate of heat transfer shows a diminishing behavior with an increasing value of the Weissenberg parameter.

Theoretical investigations of unsteady boundary layer flow gain interest due to its relatability to practical settings. Thus, this study proposes a unique mathematical model of the unsteady flow and heat transfer in hybrid nanofluid past a permeable shrinking slender cylinder. The suitable form of similarity transformations is adapted to simplify the complex partial differential equations into a solvable form of ordinary differential equations. A built-in bvp4c function in MATLAB software is exercised to elucidate the numerical analysis for certain concerning parameters, including the unsteadiness and curvature parameters. The bvp4c procedure is excellent in providing more than one solution once sufficient predictions are visible. The present analysis further observed dual solutions that exist in the system of equations. Notable findings showed that by increasing the nanoparticles volume fraction, the skin friction coefficient increases in accordance with the heat transfer rate. In contrast, the decline of the unsteadiness parameter demonstrates a downward trend toward the heat transfer performance.

This article proposes a numerical model to investigate the impact of the radiation effects in the presence of heat generation/absorption and magnetic field on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stagnation point flow over a radially stretching sheet using a Casson nanofluid. The nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the proposed flow problem are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via suitable similarity transformations. The shooting technique and the Adams–Moulton method of fourth order are used to obtain the numerical results via the computational program language FORTRAN. Nanoparticles have unique thermal and electrical properties which can improve heat transfer in nanofluids. The effects of pertinent flow parameters on the nondimensional velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented. Overall, the results show that the heat transfer rate increases for higher values of the radiation parameter in a Casson nanofluid.

The problem of heat transfer on the Marangoni convection boundary layer flow in an electrically conducting nanofluid is studied. Similarity transformations are used to transform the set of governing partial differential equations of the flow into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are then solved through the MATLAB “bvp4c” function. Different nanoparticles like Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2 are taken into consideration with water as base fluid. The velocity and temperature profiles are shown in graphs. Also the effects of the Prandtl number and solid volume fraction on heat transfer are discussed.

A mathematical model is presented and analyzed for steady two-dimensional non-isothermal laminar free convective boundary layer flow along a convectively heated moving horizontal plate. New similarity transformations are developed using one parameter deductive group transformations and hence the governing transport equations are reduced to a system of coupled, nonlinear ordinary differential equations with associated boundary conditions. The reduced equations are then solved numerically by an implicit finite difference numerical method. The effects of pertinent parameters on the non-dimensional velocity, temperature, friction factor and heat transfer rates are investigated and presented graphically. It is found that friction factor decreases with the free convective parameter and rate of heat transfer increases with the convection-conduction parameter.

The present analysis deals with the study of two-dimensional stagnation-point flow and heat transfer from a warm, laminar liquid flow of a nanofluid towards a melting stretching sheet. Using similarity transformations, the governing differential equations were transformed into coupled, nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which were then solved numerically by using the Runge–Kutta fourth-order method along with the shooting technique for two types of nanoparticles namely copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) in the water-based fluid with Prandtl number Pr = 6.2, the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the velocity and the temperature profiles are presented graphically and discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the unsteady double-diffusive mixed convective stagnation-point flow of a water-based nanofluid accompanied with one salt past a vertical flat plate. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters are also introduced through Buongiorno’s two-component nonhomogeneous equilibrium model in the governing equations. Design/methodology/approach In the present explanation of double-diffusive mixed convective model, there are four boundary layers entitled: velocity, thermal, solutal concentration and nanoparticle concentration. The resulting basic equations are solved numerically via an efficient Runge–Kutta fourth-order method with shooting technique after the governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the use of similarity transformations. Findings To avail the physical insight of problem, the effects of the mixed convection parameter, unsteadiness parameter and salt/nanoparticle parameters on the boundary layers behavior are investigated. Moreover, four possible types of diffusion problems entitled: double-diffusive nanofluid (DDNF), double-diffusive regular fluid (DDRF), mono-diffusive nanofluid (MDNF) and mono-diffusive regular fluid (MDRF) are considered to analyze and compare them in concepts of heat and mass transfer. Originality/value The results demonstrate that, for a regular fluid, without nanoparticle and salt (MDRF), the dimensionless heat transfer rate is smaller than other diffusion cases. As we include nanoparticle and salt (DDNF), the rate of heat transfer increases due to an increase in thermal conductivity and rate of diffusion of salt. Moreover, it is observed that the highest heat transfer rate is obtained for the situation that the thermophoretic effect of nanoparticles is negligible. Besides, the heat transfer rate enhances with the increase in the regular double-diffusive buoyancy parameter of salt.

In the present study, an analytical analysis has been carried out to investigate the MHD stagnation-point flow and heat transfer past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation. Similarity transformations have been employed to simplify the momentum and energy equations into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are then solved analytically through BVPh 2.0 Mathematica package based on homotopy analysis method (HAM). Effects of various parameters such as Prandtl number, permeability parameter, magnetic parameter, suction/blowing parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter, radiation parameter and wall temperature exponent on velocity and/or temperature profiles are explored and discussed graphically. Our results have been compared with the available literature and have been found in excellent agreement. This study may have applications in metallurgy industry and aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheet.
