AbstractCu–water nanofluid with carbon nanotubes is considered for the peristaltic flow in an endoscope. The peristaltic flow for nanofluid is modelled considering that the peristaltic rush wave is a sinusoidal wave that propagates along the walls of the tube. The governing equations for the proposed model are simplified by using the assumptions of long-wavelength and low Reynolds number. Exact solutions have been evaluated for velocity, temperature, and pressure gradient. Graphical results for the numerical values of the flow parameters, i.e. Hartmann number M, the solid volume fraction ϕ of the nanoparticles, Grashof number Gr, heat absorption parameter β, and radius of the inner tube ε, have been presented for the pressure difference, frictional forces, velocity profile, and temperature profile, and trapping phenomena have been discussed at the end of the article.

In this article, we considered the peristaltic flow of Newtonian incompressible fluid of chyme in small intestine. The analysis has been performed using an endoscope. The peristaltic flow of chyme is modeled by assuming that the peristaltic wave is formed in non-periodic mode comprising two sinusoidal waves of different wave lengths propagating with same speed along the outer wall of the tube. Heat transfer mechanisms have been taken into account, such that the constant temperature [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are assigned to inner and outer tubes, respectively. A complex system of equations has been simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation because such assumptions exist in small intestine. Exact solutions have been carried out for velocity temperature and pressure gradient. Graphical results have been discussed for pressure rise, frictional forces, temperature, and velocity profile. Comparison of present results with the results of the existing literature have been presented through figures. Trapping phenomena have been presented at the conclusion of the article.

Objective: In this paper, we consider a model that describes the ciliary beating in the form of metachronal waves along with the effects of Magnetohydrodynamic fluid over a curved channel with slip effects. This work aims at evaluating the effect of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) on the steady two dimensional (2-D) mixed convection flow induced in carbon nanotubes. The work is done for both the single wall nanotube and multiple wall nanotube. The right wall and the left wall possess a metachronal wave that is travelling along the outer boundary of the channel. Methods: The wavelength is considered as very large for cilia induced MHD flow. The governing linear coupled equations are simplified by considering the approximations of long wavelength and small Reynolds number. Exact solutions are obtained for temperature and velocity profile. The analytical expressions for the pressure gradient and wall shear stresses are obtained. Term for pressure rise is obtained by applying Numerical integration method. Results: Numerical results of velocity profile are mentioned in a table form, for various values of solid volume fraction, curvature, Hartmann number [M] and Casson fluid parameter [ζ]. Final section of this paper is devoted to discussing the graphical results of temperature, pressure gradient, pressure rise, shear stresses and stream functions. Conclusion: Velocity profile near the right wall of the channel decreases when we add nanoparticles into our base fluid, whereas an opposite behaviour is depicted near the left wall due to ciliated tips whereas the temperature is an increasing function of B and ߛ and decreasing function of ߶.

AbstractThe current research explores incremental effect of thermal radiation on heat transfer improvement corresponds to Darcy–Forchheimer (DF) flow of carbon nanotubes along a stretched rotating surface using RSM. Casson carbon nanotubes’ constructed model in boundary layer flow is being investigated with implications of both single-walled CNTs and multi-walled CNTs. Water and Ethylene glycol are considered a basic fluid. The heat transfer rate is scrutinized via convective condition. Outcomes are observed and evaluated for both SWCNTs and MWCNTs. The Runge–Kutta Fehlberg technique of shooting is utilized to numerically solve transformed nonlinear ordinary differential system. The output parameters of interest are presumed to depend on governing input variables. In addition, sensitivity study is incorporated. It is noted that sensitivity of SFC via SWCNT-Water becomes higher by increasing values of permeability number. Additionaly, sensitivity of SFC via SWCNT-water towards the permeability number is higher than the solid volume fraction for medium and higher permeability levels. It is also noted that sensitivity of SFC (SWCNT-Ethylene-glycol) towards volume fraction is higher for increasing permeability as well as inertia coefficient. Additionally, the sensitivity of LNN towards the Solid volume fraction is higher than the radiation and Biot number for all levels of Biot number. The findings will provide initial direction for future device manufacturing.

Natural convection heat transfer in a rotating, differentially heated enclosure is studied numerically in this paper. The rotating enclosure is filled with water-Ag, water-Cu, water-Al2O3, or water-TiO2nanofluids. The governing equations are in velocity, pressure, and temperature formulation and solved using the staggered grid arrangement together with MAC method. The governing parameters considered are the solid volume fraction,0.0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.05, and the rotational speeds,3.5≤ Ω ≤ 17.5 rpm, and the centrifugal force is smaller than the Coriolis force and both forces were kept below the buoyancy force. It is found that the angular locations of the local maximums heat transfer were sensitive to rotational speeds and nanoparticles concentration. The global quantity of heat transfer rate increases about 1.5%, 1.1%, 0.8%, and 0.6% by increasing 1%ϕof the nanoparticles Ag, Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2, respectively, for the considered rotational speeds.

In this paper, we study the impacts of variable viscosity , heat and mass transfer on magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow in a asymmetric tapered inclined channel with porous medium . The viscosity is considered as a function of temperature. The slip conditions at the walls were taken into consideration. SmallReynolds number and the long wavelength approximations were used to simplify the governing equations. A comparison between the two velocities in cases of slip and no-slip was plotted. It was observed that the behavior of the velocity differed in the two applied models for some parameters. Mathematica software was used to estimate the exact solutions of temperature and concentration profiles. The resolution of the equations to the momentum was based on the perturbation method to find the axial velocity, pressure gradient and trapping phenomenon. The influences of the various flow parameters of the problem on these distributions were debated and proved graphically by figures.

Abstract In this investigation, we have studied the problem of peristaltic flow with heat transfer through the gap between coaxial inclined tubes where the inner tube is rigid and the outer tube has sinusoidal wave travelling down its wall. The problem has been formulated in cylindrical coordinate system. The equations governing the flow have been simplified under the long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The exact solution is obtained for the temperature profile. The perturbation solutions for the velocity and pressure gradient are obtained for small couple stress parameter. Pressure difference per wavelength and frictional forces on the tube walls have been computed numerically. Results are demonstrated for various flow parameters. The better pumping results occur in vertical tube, while less pumping is seen in horizontal tube. The size of trapped bolus is small in triangular wave as compared to other waves. The present study has a wide range of applications in bio-medical engineering like the transport phenomenon in peristaltic micro pumps.

This article studies the hydromagnetic peristaltic flow of couple stress fluids through the gap between two concentric channels containing a Darcian porous medium, with the inner channel being rigid. A sinusoidal wave propagates along the outer channel. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions are used. The effects of couple stress parameter, magnetic field, permeability, and the channel ratio width on pressure and frictional forces on the inner and outer channels are depicted graphically. Mechanical efficiency and trapping are also studied. Pressure diminishes with increasing coupling and permeability parameters whereas it increases with Hartmann number and channel width ratio. Applications of the model include transport of complex bio-waste fluids and magnetic field control of gastro-intestinal disorders.

Although elastic properties of hydrating cement paste are crucial in concrete engineering practice, there are only a few widely available models for engineers to predict the elastic behavior of hydrating cement paste. Therefore, in this paper, we derive an analytical model to efficiently predict the elastic properties (e.g., Young’s modulus) of hydrating cement paste. Notably, the proposed model provides the prediction of hydration, percolation, and homogenization of the cement paste, enabling the study of the early age elasticity evolution in cement paste. A hydration model considering the mineral composition and the initial w/c ratio was used, while the percolation threshold was calculated adopting a phenomenological semi-empirical method describing the effects of the solid volume fraction and the w/c ratio. An efficient mixing rule based on the degree of solid connectivity was then adopted to calculate the elastic properties of the hydrating cement paste. Moreover, for ordinary Portland cement, a simplified model was built using Powers’ hydration model. The obtained modeling results are following experimental data and other numerical results available in the literature.

The influences of superellipse shapes on natural convection in a horizontally subdivided non-Darcy porous cavity populated by Cu-water nanofluid are inspected in this paper. The impacts of the inner geometries (n = 0.5,1,1.5,4) Rayleigh number (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106), Darcy number (10−5 ≤ Da ≤ 10−2), porosity (0.2 ≤ ϵ ≤ 0.8), and solid volume fraction (0.01 ≤ ∅ ≤ 0.05) on nanofluid heat transport and streamlines were examined. The hot superellipse shapes were placed in the cavity’s bottom and top, while the adiabatic boundaries on the flat walls of the cavity were considered. The governing equations were numerically solved using the finite volume method (FVM). It was found that the movement of the nanofluid upsurged as Ra boosted. The temperature distributions in the cavity’s core had an inverse relationship with increasing Rayleigh number. An extra porous resistance at lower Darcy numbers limited the nanofluid’s movement within the porous layers. The mean Nusselt number decreased as the porous resistance increased (Da ≤ 10−4). The flow and temperature were strongly affected as the shape of the inner superellipse grew larger.

In the present investigation, peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid model (Eyring–Powell) has been taken into consideration in a cross-section of three-dimensional rectangular channel. The flow is taken to be unsteady and incompressible. The observations are made under the limitations of low Reynolds number and long wavelength which helps in reducing the governing equations. The walls of the channel are supposed to be compliant. The obtained equations are nonlinear partial differential equation of second order and have been solved analytically by using series solution technique. The achieved results are then portrayed graphically to see the variation of various emerging parameters on the profile of velocity. The stream functions have also been sketched in order to discuss the trapping behavior of the circular bolus.
