This article concentrates on two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic stagnation flow of Jeffrey liquid on a nonlinearly stretching sheet which possesses variable thickness. Simultaneous impact of melting as well as thermal stratification is specifically investigated in this study due to their tremendous involvement in plenty of natural and industrial processes. Internal heat generation and presence of chemical species are considered to ponder at heat transfer properties. Series solution has been obtained by solving the developed nonlinear problems. Physical behavior of various controlling parameters such as velocity, thermal, and concentration fields are investigated. It has been found that temperature field decays due to higher intensity of thermal stratification parameter, but thickness of thermal boundary layer boosts up. Larger Deborah number results in incremented velocity field. For uplifted wall thickness parameter, velocity field depreciates. Concentration field declines for enhanced parameters of homogeneous as well as heterogeneous reaction. Moreover, velocity is decreasing function of porosity parameter.

This communication studies the effect of melting heat transfer on the stagnation-point flow of a Jeffrey fluid over a stretching sheet. Heat transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of viscous dissipation. The arising differential system has been solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness with an increase in the values of the elastic parameter (Deborah number) for a Jeffrey fluid which are opposite to those accounted for in the literature for the other subclasses of rate type fluids. Furthermore, an increase in the melting process corresponds to an increase in the velocity and a decrease in the temperature. A comparative study between the current computations and the previous studies is also presented in a limiting sense.

In this study, a novel application of neurocomputing technique is presented for solving nonlinear heat transfer and natural convection porous fin problems arising in almost all areas of engineering and technology, especially in mechanical engineering. The mathematical models of the problems are exploited by the intelligent strength of Euler polynomials based Euler neural networks (ENN’s), optimized with a generalized normal distribution optimization (GNDO) algorithm and Interior point algorithm (IPA). In this scheme, ENN’s based differential equation models are constructed in an unsupervised manner, in which the neurons are trained by GNDO as an effective global search technique and IPA, which enhances the local search convergence. Moreover, a temperature distribution of heat transfer and natural convection porous fin are investigated by using an ENN-GNDO-IPA algorithm under the influence of variations in specific heat, thermal conductivity, internal heat generation, and heat transfer rate, respectively. A large number of executions are performed on the proposed technique for different cases to determine the reliability and effectiveness through various performance indicators including Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), error in Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (ENSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and Thiel’s inequality coefficient (TIC). Extensive graphical and statistical analysis shows the dominance of the proposed algorithm with state-of-the-art algorithms and numerical solver RK-4.

This study is concerned with the effect of thermal radiation on the unsteady mixed convection flow of a Jeffrey fluid past a porous vertical stretching surface. The arising problems of flow and heat transfer are solved analytically by employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). It is observed that the flow field is influenced appreciably by the unsteadiness parameter ζ , suction parameter S, mixed convection parameter λ , Deborah number β , Prandtl number Pr, and the radiation parameter Nr. Our performed computations depict that the heat transfer rate is increased with increasing values of Pr, Nr, and ζ

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid have been investigated. The analytic solutions of the arising differential system have been computed by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The dimensionless expressions for wall shear stress and surface heat transfer are also derived. Exact solutions of the momentum equation and numerical solutions of the dimensionless energy equations have been obtained for the steady-state case. The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness by increasing the elastic parameter (Deborah number) for a Jeffrey fluid.

The steady two dimensional convective boundary layer flow of micropolar Jeffrey fluid past a permeable stretching sheet is studied in this paper. The governing boundary layer equation in the form of partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme known as Keller-box method. The effects of Prandtl number, Deborah number, and material parameter with the boundary condition for microrotation, n = 0 (strong concentration of microelements) on the velocity, microrotation, temperature profiles as well as the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are presented and discussed. An excellent agreement is observed between the present and earlier published results for some special cases. The results revealed that, the effect of Deborah number and stretching parameter are increased the heat transfer coefficient while the opposite trend is observed for the effects of material and velocity slip parameters. It was also observed that, the values of skin friction increased with the increment on the values of all studied parameters.

This communication studies the flow and heat transfer characteristics over a continuously moving surface in the presence of a free stream velocity. The Jeffrey fluid is treated as a rheological model. The series expressions of velocity and temperature fields are constructed by applying the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The influence of emerging parameters such as local Deborah number (β), the ratio of relaxation and retardation times (λ2), the Prandtl number (Pr), and the Eckert number (Ec) on the velocity and temperature profiles are presented in the form of graphical and tabulated results for different values of λ. It is found that the boundary layer thickness is an increasing function of local Deborah number (β). However, the temperature and thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with the increasing values of local Deborah number (β).

According to experts and medical literature, healthy thyroids and thyroids containing benign nodules tend to be less inflamed and less active than those with malignant nodules. It seems to be a consensus that malignant nodules have more blood veins and more blood circulation. This may be related to the maintenance of the nodule’s heat at a higher level compared with neighboring tissues. If the internal heat modifies the skin radiation, then it could be detected by infrared sensors. The goal of this work is the investigation of the factors that allow this detection, and the possible relation with any pattern referent to nodule malignancy. We aim to consider a wide range of factors, so a great number of numerical simulations of the heat transfer in the region under analysis, based on the Finite Element method, are performed to study the influence of each nodule and patient characteristics on the infrared sensor acquisition. To do so, the protocol for infrared thyroid examination used in our university’s hospital is simulated in the numerical study. This protocol presents two phases. In the first one, the body under observation is in steady state. In the second one, it is submitted to thermal stress (transient state). Both are simulated in order to verify if it is possible (by infrared sensors) to identify different behavior referent to malignant nodules. Moreover, when the simulation indicates possible important aspects, patients with and without similar characteristics are examined to confirm such influences. The results show that the tissues between skin and thyroid, as well as the nodule size, have an influence on superficial temperatures. Other thermal parameters of thyroid nodules show little influence on surface infrared emissions, for instance, those related to the vascularization of the nodule. All details of the physical parameters used in the simulations, characteristics of the real nodules and thermal examinations are publicly available, allowing these simulations to be compared with other types of heat transfer solutions and infrared examination protocols. Among the main contributions of this work, we highlight the simulation of the possible range of parameters, and definition of the simulation approach for mapping the used infrared protocol, promoting the investigation of a possible relation between the heat transfer process and the data obtained by infrared acquisitions.
