In this article, the free convective micropolar nanofluid was investigated over a shrinking sheet in the presence of a heat source by tacking into the water/ethylene glycol-based nanofluid account. The physical problem is first modeled. Under the assumptions of Boussinesq's approximation, the governing equations are reduced into non-linear PDEs. The combined non-linear PDEs representing momentum and non-homogeneous heat equations were reduced to a series of regular non-linear differential equations with appropriate similarity transformations. By applying the Runge-Kutta procedure followed by the Shooting technique, the transformed equations are then solved. Via the diagrams, the impact of related parameters characterizing the flow was presented and then addressed. It is observed that volumetric fraction has a substantial influence on the velocity profile and also induces a decrease in the boundary layer because water-based nanofluid has high thermal conductivity relative to Ferro nanofluid based on ethylene glycol.

The present study investigates numerically MHD flow near the stagnation point of micropolar fluid through a shrinking sheet containing nanoparticles under the influence of chemical reaction and external heat. The study is an attempt to investigate the flow behaviour of micropolar nanofluid because of its importance in heat transfer process in industries as well as cooling systems. The governing equations are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by implementing similarity transformations. Numerical results are investigated in the form of figures and tables by using MATLAB built in solver bvp4c for various dimensionless parameters. The impacts of external heat parameter on temperature and chemical reaction factor on concentration of the nanofluid are illustrated in the form of graphs. It is observed that the temperature of the nanofluid and nanoparticle volume distributions increase when Biot number attain larger values. Rise in Thermophoretic parameter increases the nanoparticles concentration in the boundary layer. Numerical data are presented for Nusselt number and Sherwood number.

With the effects of variable viscosity and convective boundary conditions, the contemporary studies work ambitions to investigate the together effects of the magnetic field and porous medium on non-Newtonian nano fluid flow to a stretching layer. In this latest work, to examine the impact of thermophoresis and Brownian motion, the nanofluid model is utilized. To lessen the basic governing coupled non-linear PDE’s for velocity (momentum), temperature (energy), and nanoparticle concentration to an assortment of ordinary non-linear differential equations, the necessary transformations are used. Utilizing the fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg strategy, the resulting reshaped conditions are tackled mathematically. The effects on the dimensionless temperature, velocity, nanoparticle concentration profiles of various engineering parameters are discussed and graphically analyzed. The numerically computed values of skin-friction, coefficients of heat transfer rate and mass transfer are tabulated. The numerical findings got are contrasted and the outcomes recently detailed as unique instances of the current examination and viewed as in reasonable consistence.

AbstractIn the present article, magneto-micropolar nanofluid flow with suction or injection in a porous medium over a stretching sheet for the heat and mass transfer is analyzed numerically. Both Hall and ion-slip effects are considered along with variable thermal diffusivity. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations using usual similarity transformations. These coupled non-linear differential equations are solved using the shooting method. Effects of prominent parameter on velocities, temperature and concentration are discussed graphically. Numerical values of skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also tabulated and discussed.

In the present article, the double-diffusive natural convection of a micropolar nanofluid over a linearly stretching sheet is discussed. The flow equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The numerical solutions are computed using shooting technique and compared with the literature for the special case of pure fluid flow and found to be in good agreement. Graphical results are presented to illustrate the effects of various fluid flow parameters on velocity, heat transfer, nanoparticle volume fraction, salt concentration, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient for both assisting and opposing flows.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the multislip effects on the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection unsteady flow of micropolar nano-fluids over a stretching/shrinking sheet along with radiation in the presence of a heat source. The consequences of multislip and buoyancy conditions have been integrated. By using the suitable similarity variables are used to solve the governing non-linear partial differential equations into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved numerically by using Runge–Kutta fourth-order method with shooting technique. The impacts of the several parameters on the velocity, temperature, micro-rotation, and concentration profiles as well as on the skin friction coefficient, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are discussed with the help of graphs and tables.

Abstract The heat and mass transfer of rotating Casson nanofluid flow is incorporated in the present study. Influence of magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Joule heating effects are taken into the account. A set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained from the governing partial differential equations with the aid of suitable similarity transformations. The resultant equations are solved for the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique. The impact of several existing physical parameter on velocity, temperature and nanofluid concentration profiles are analyzed through graphs and tables in detail. It is found that, velocity component decreases and temperature component increases for rotating parameter.

Coolants are vital in any automotive since they manage the heat in the internal combustion of the engines by preventing corrosion in the cooling system as well as assist in eradicating the engine’s waste heat. This paper examines three different types of ethylene glycol-based hybrid nanofluids ((Cu-Al2O3), (Cu-TiO2), (TiO2-Al2O3)) to establish their cooling capabilities for industrial cooling applications. The vertical flow of these hybrid nanofluids combination through a semi-infinite convectively heated flat plate mimicking the flow of coolant in car radiator is modeled. The governing non-linear partial differential equations of fluid flow are transformed into a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformation variables and the numerical solution executed using the shooting technique together with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme. The numerical simulation is executed using MATLAB and results are displayed graphically. The effects of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature, skin friction, and local Nusselt number are investigated. From the study (Cu-Al2O3  hybrid nanocoolant leads to a rapid decrease in temperature at the boundary layer.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) deals with the analysis of electrically conducting fluids. The study of nanofluids by considering the influence of MHD phenomena is a topic of great interest from an industrial and technological point of view. Thus, the modified MHD mixed convective, nonlinear, radiative and dissipative problem was modelled over an arc-shaped geometry for Al2O3 + H2O nanofluid at 310 K and the freezing temperature of 273.15 K. Firstly, the model was reduced into a coupled set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The impact of the freezing temperature and the molecular diameter were incorporated in the energy equation. Then, the Runge–Kutta scheme, along with the shooting technique, was adopted for the mathematical computations and code was written in Mathematica 10.0. Further, a comprehensive discussion of the flow characteristics is provided. The results for the dynamic viscosity, heat capacity and effective density of the nanoparticles were examined for various nanoparticle diameters and volume fractions.
