Bioconvective Flow

The present study dealt with heat and mass transfer rate, and motile micro-organisms for convective micropolar nanofluid flow in a porous medium. The nanofluid contains the influence of both Brownian motion and thermodiffusion (thermophoresis). The problem considered finds applications in the areas of engineering such as reducing greenhouse effects and in the pharmaceutical applications enhancing mixing and slowing down settling particles can be mentioned. The numerical results are obtained and discussed. The results obtained suggest that micropolar fluids enhance the flow and decrease the temperature, nanoparticles concentration and gyrotactic microorganisms concentration profiles compared to viscous fluid. It is also noted that Hall parameter increases skin friction, the heat transfer rate, the mass transfer rate and density of the motile microorganisms.

Main features of the present analysis is to investigate the MHD non-linear mixed convection flow of Carreau nanofluid. Flow is due to stretching sheet with thermal and solutal convective conditions. Intention in present analysis is to develop a model for nanomaterial. The non-linear ordinary differential systems are obtained. Homotopy algorithm leads to solutions development. Velocity, temperature, nanoparticles concentration, surface drag force, and heat and mass transfer rate are displayed and argued. It is revealed that qualitative behaviors of velocity and layer thickness are reverse for material and magnetic parameters. Temperature field and heat transfer rate are similar observation for thermal Biot numbers. Moreover qualitative behaviors of nanoparticles concentration and mass transfer rate are reverse for larger Brownian motion.

In this paper, a boundary layer analysis is presented for the natural convection past a vertical cylinder in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid. Numerical results for friction factor, surface heat transfer rate, and mass transfer rate have been presented for parametric variations of the buoyancy ratio parameter Nr, Brownian motion parameter Nb, thermophoresis parameter Nt, and Lewis number Le. The dependency of the friction factor, surface heat transfer rate (Nusselt number), and mass transfer rate on these parameters has been discussed. The results indicate that as Nr, Nb, and Nt increase, the friction factor and heat transfer rate (Nusselt number) decrease. The mass transfer rate (Sherwood number) increases with Le, Nb, and Nt.

Limiting Diffusion Current

The limiting diffusion current technique was used for investigation of free convective mass transfer at down-pointing up-facing isosceles triangular surfaces of varying length and inclination. As the mass transfer process, copper deposition from acidified copper(II) sulfate solution was used. It was found that the mass transfer rate increases with inclination from the vertical to the horizontal position and decreases with length of inclined surface. Correlation equations for 7 angles from 0 to 90° were found. The exponent in the ShL-RaL correlation ranged from 0.247 for the vertical case, indicating laminar flow, to 0.32 for inclinations of 60 to 90°, indicating mixed or turbulent flow. The general correlation ShL = 0.358(RaL sin θ)0.30 for the RaL sin θ range from 7 × 106 to 2 × 1011 and inclination range from 15 to 90° was obtained.
