AbstractThe present study focuses on double diffusive nonlinear (quadratic) mixed convective flow of nanoliquid about vertical wedge with nonlinear temperature-density-concentration variations. This study is found to be innovative and comprises the impacts of quadratic mixed convection, magnetohydrodynamics, diffusion of nanoparticles and liquid hydrogen flow around a wedge. Highly coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) and boundary constraints have been used to model the flow problem, which are then transformed into a dimensionless set of equations utilizing non-similar transformations. Further, a set of NPDEs would be linearized with the help of Quasilinearization technique, and then, the linear partial differential equations are transformed into a block tri-diagonal system through using implicit finite difference scheme, which is solved using Verga’s algorithm. The study findings were explored through graphs for the fluid velocity, temperature, concentration, nanoparticle volume fraction distributions and its corresponding gradients. One of the important results of this study is that the higher wedge angle values upsurge the friction between the particles of the fluid and the wedge surface. Rising Schmidt number declines the concentration distribution and enhances the magnitude of Sherwood number. Nanofluid’s temperature increases with varying applied magnetic field. The present study has notable applications in the designing and manufacturing of wedge-shaped materials in space aircrafts, construction of dams, thermal systems, oil and gas industries, etc.

The steady hydromagnetic flow of a viscous, incompressible, perfectly conducting, and heat absorbing fluid past a vertical flat plate under the influence of an aligned magnetic field is studied. The flow is subject to mixed convective heat transfer. The fluid is assumed to have a reasonably high magnetic Prandtl number which causes significant-induced magnetic field effects. Such fluid flows find application in many magnetohydrodynamic devices including MHD power-generation. The effects of viscous dissipation and heat absorption by the fluid are investigated. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a set of nonsimilar partial differential equations which are then solved using a spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). The effects of the important parameters on the fluid velocity, induced magnetic field, fluid temperature and as well as on the coefficient of skin-friction and the Nusselt number are discussed qualitatively.

AbstractAn analysis is presented to describe the hydromagnetic mixed convection flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium with radiation and slip flow regime. A uniform magnetic field has been considered in the study which absorbs the micropolar fluid with a varying suction velocity and acts perpendicular to the porous surface of the above plate. The governing non-linear partial differential equations have been transformed into linear partial differential equations, which are solved numerically by applying the explicit finite difference method. The numerical results are presented graphically in the form of velocity, micro-rotation, concentration and temperature profiles, the skin-friction coefficient, the couple stress coefficient, the rate of heat and mass transfers at the wall for different material parameters.

Nanoparticles are frequently used to enhance the thermal performance of numerous materials. This study has many practical applications for activities that have to minimize losses of energy due to several impacts. This study investigates the inclusion of ternary hybrid nanoparticles in a partially ionized hyperbolic tangent liquid passed over a stretched melting surface. The fluid motion equation is presented by considering the rotation effect. The thermal energy expression is derived by the contribution of Joule heat and viscous dissipation. Flow equations were modeled by using the concept of boundary layer theory, which occurs in the form of a coupled system of partial differential equations (PDEs). To reduce the complexity, the derived PDEs (partial differential equations) were transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by engaging in similarity transformations. Afterwards, the converted ODEs were handled via a finite element procedure. The utilization and effectiveness of the methodology are demonstrated by listing the mesh-free survey and comparative analysis. Several important graphs were prepared to show the contribution of emerging parameters on fluid velocity and temperature profile. The findings show that the finite element method is a powerful tool for handling the complex coupled ordinary differential equation system, arising in fluid mechanics and other related dissipation applications in applied science. Furthermore, enhancements in the Forchheimer parameter and the Weissenberg number are necessary to control the fluid velocity.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of magnetic field on an incompressible ferrofluid flow along a vertical wavy surface saturated in a porous medium is investigated. Ferrofluid is made by incorporating magnetic particles, in this case cobalt, at the nanoscale level into a base fluid. For the study of porous medium two well-known models, namely, Darcy and non-Darcy, are used. The mathematical model in terms of governing partial differential equations which are based on conservation laws in mechanics according to the assumption is developed, and this model is converted into a dimensionless form by suitable transformations. Due to the complex non-linear partial differential equations, the numerical solution is calculated by using an implicit finite difference scheme. The impact of involved parameters, namely, magnetic parameter, nanoparticle volume fraction parameter, the amplitude of the wavy surface, and the Grashof number, on Nusselt and average Nusselt numbers are studied through graphs and tables.The results show that for large values of the magnetic parameter, both the Nusselt number and the average Nusselt number decrease in ferrofluid flow. The value of the Nusselt number in the Darcy model is higher than the value of the Nusselt number in the non-Darcy model.

In this research, the nonlinear free vibrations analysis of functionally graded (FG) rectangular plate which simply supported all edges are investigated analytically using modified Lindstedt–Poincare (MLP) method for the first time. For this purpose, with the aid of von Karman nonlinearity strain-displacement relations, the partial differential equations of motion are developed based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Afterward, by applying Galerkin method, the nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into the time-dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The nonlinear equation of motion is then solved analytically by MLP method to determine the nonlinear frequencies of the FG rectangular plate. The material properties are assumed to be graded through the direction of plate thickness according to power law distribution. The effects of some system parameters such as vibration amplitude, volume fraction index and aspect ratio on the nonlinear to linear frequency ratio are discussed in detail. To validate the analysis, the results of this paper are compared with both the published data and numerical method, and good agreements are found.

Microfluidic-related technologies and micro-electromechanical systems–based microfluidic devices have received applications in science and engineering fields. This article is the study of a mathematical model of steady forced convective flow past a rotating disc immersed in water-based nanofluid with microorganisms. The boundary layer flow of a viscous nanofluid is studied with multiple slip conditions and Stefan blowing effects under the magnetic field influence. The microscopic nanoparticles move randomly and have the characteristics of thermophoresis, and it is being considered that the change in volume fraction of the nanofluid does not affect the thermo-physical properties. The governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations. At first, the nonlinear partial differential equations are converted to system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations and then solved numerically. The influence of relevant parameters on velocities, temperature, concentration and motile microorganism density is illustrated and explained thoroughly. This investigation indicated that suction provides a better medium to enhance the transfer rate of heat, mass and microorganisms compared to blowing. This analysis has a wide range engineering application such as electromagnetic micro pumps and nanomechanics.
