In this study, the blood flow was investigated involving nanoparticles through porous blood vessels in the presence of magnetic field by means of collocation and least squares techniques. Blood was assumed to be non-Newtonian fluid having nanoparticles in which different models were used to determine the viscosity of the nanofluids. Vogel’s, Reynolds, variable, and constant viscosity models were discussed by using the two aforementioned techniques. Hence, we compared our results with a numerical technique RK-4 and already existing results to show the credibility of our solutions. Further, some physical parameters and their effects are also stated in this research. Increase in the thermophoresis parameter and pressure gradient along with the decrease in the Brownian motion parameter provide a rapid change in the velocity profile, which has been disclosed by results. Additionally, a dramatic change in the velocity has been realized by using Vogel’s model.

Flow And Heat Transfer

In nanofluid mechanics, it has been proven recently that the no slip condition at the boundary is no longer valid which is the reason that we consider the effect of such slip condition on the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids. The present paper considers the effect of the velocity slip condition on the flow and heat transfer of the Cu-water and the TiO2-water nanofluids over stretching/shrinking sheets in the presence of a magnetic field. The exact expression for the fluid velocity is obtained in terms of the exponential function, while an effective analytical procedure is suggested and successfully applied to obtain the exact temperature in terms of the generalized incomplete gamma function. It is found in this paper that the Cu-water nanofluid is slower than the TiO2-water nanofluid for both cases of the stretching/shrinking sheets. However, the temperature of the Cu-water nanofluid is always higher than the temperature of the TiO2-water nanofluid. In the case of shrinking sheet the dual solutions have been obtained at particular values of the physical parameters. In addition, the effect of various physical parameters on such dual solutions is discussed through the graphs.

Aligned Magnetic Field

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of magnetic-nanofluid flow past a vertical plate embedded in a porous medium filled with ferrous nanoparticles. The analysis is carried out in the presence of pertinent physical parameters such as aligned magnetic field, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, radiation absorption, heat source/sink. Design/methodology/approach The flow governing PDEs are transformed into ODEs using appropriate conversions. Further, the set of ODEs is solved analytically using the perturbation technique. The flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields are discussed under the influence of above-mentioned pertinent physical parameters with the assistance of graphical depictions. Moreover, the friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood number are discussed in tabular form. Findings The results indicate that flow and thermal transport phenomenon is more effective in the case of the aligned magnetic field as compared with the transverse magnetic field. Also, the nanoparticle volume fraction plays a vital role in controlling the wall friction and heat transfer performance. The validation of the obtained results is done by comparing them with the results of various numerical techniques, and hence found them in excellent agreement. Originality/value In present days, the external magnetic fields are very effective to set the thermal and physical properties of magnetic-nanofluids and regulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics. The strength of the applied magnetic field affects the thermal conductivity of magnetic-nanofluids and makes it aeolotropic. With this incentive, the authors investigated the flow and heat transfer characteristics of electrically conducting magnetic-nanofluids over a vertical surface embedded in a porous medium. The authors discussed the dual nature of ferrous-water nanofluid in the presence of aligned magnetic field and transverse magnetic field cases. The influence of several physical parameters on velocity, thermal and concentration field converses with the succour of graphs.

Transfer Study

We studied the laminar fully developed ferrofluid flow and heat transfer phenomena of an otherwise magnetic fluid into a vertical annular duct of circular cross-section and uniform temperatures on walls which were subjected to a transverse external magnetic field. A computational algorithm was used, which coupled the continuity, momentum, energy, magnetization and Maxwell’s equations, accompanied by the appropriate conditions, using the continuity–vorticity–pressure (C.V.P.) method and a non-uniform grid. The results were obtained for different values of field strength and particles’ volumetric concentration, wherein the effects of the magnetic field on the ferrofluid flow and the temperature are revealed. It is shown that the axial velocity distribution is highly affected by the field strength and the volumetric concentration, the axial pressure gradient depends almost linearly on the field strength, while the heat transfer significantly increases due to the generated secondary flow.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate numerically the unsteady MHD Couette flow and heat transfer of viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting nanofluids between two parallel plates in a rotating channel. Design/methodology/approach – The nanofluid is set in motion by the combined action of moving upper plate, Coriolis force and the constant pressure gradient. The channel rotates in unison about an axis normal to the plates. The nonlinear governing equations for velocity and heat transfer are obtained and solved numerically using semi-discretization, shooting and collocation (bvp4c) techniques together with Runge-Kutta Fehlberg integration scheme. Findings – Results show that both magnetic field and rotation rate demonstrate significant effect on velocity and heat transfer profiles in the system with Cu-water nanofluid demonstrating the highest velocity and heat transfer efficiency. These numerical results are in excellent agreements with the results obtained by other methods. Practical implications – This paper provides a very useful source of information for researchers on the subject of hydromagnetic nanofluid flow in rotating systems. Originality/value – Couette flow of nanofluid in the presence of applied magnetic field in a rotating channel is investigated.
