In the present study, we analyze the heat, momentum and mass (species) transfer in external boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid past a truncated cone surface with Biot Number effect is studied theoretically. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated in the model in the presence of both heat and nanoparticle mass transfer Biot Number effect. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into highly nonlinear, coupled, multi-degree non-similar partial differential equations consisting of the momentum, energy and concentration equations via. Appropriate non-similarity transformations. These transformed conservation equations are solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions with a second order accurate finite difference method of the implicit type. The influences of the emerging parameters i.e. Casson fluid parameter (?), Brownian motion parameter (Nb) and thermophoresis parameter (Nt), Lewis number (Le), Buoyancy ratio parameter (N ), Prandtl number (Pr) and Biot number (Bi) on velocity, temperature and nano-particle concentration distributions is illustrated graphically and interpreted at length.  Validation of solutions with a Nakamura tri-diagonal method has been included. The study is relevant to enrobing processes for electric-conductive nano-materials of potential use in aerospace and other industries.

Abstract In this article, the combined magnetohydrodynamic heat, momentum and mass (species) transfer in external boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid from an isothermal sphere surface with convective condition under an applied magnetic field is studied theoretically. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated in the model in the presence of both heat and nanoparticle mass transfer convective conditions. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into highly nonlinear, coupled, multi-degree non-similar partial differential equations consisting of the momentum, energy and concentration equations via appropriate non-similarity transformations. These transformed conservation equations are solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions with a second order accurate finite difference method of the implicit type. The influences of the emerging parameters i.e. magnetic parameter (M), Buoyancy ratio parameter (N), Casson fluid parameter (β), Brownian motion parameter (Nb) and thermophoresis parameter (Nt), Lewis number (Le), Prandtl number (Pr) and thermal slip (ST) on velocity, temperature and nano-particle concentration distributions is illustrated graphically and interpreted at length. Increasing viscoplastic (Casson) parameter decelerates the flow and also decreases thermal and nano-particle concentration. Increasing Brownian motion accelerates the flow and enhances temperatures whereas it reduces nanoparticle concentration boundary layer thickness. Increasing thermophoretic parameter increasing momentum (hydrodynamic) boundary layer thickness and nanoparticle boundary layer thickness whereas it reduces thermal boundary layer thickness. Increasing magnetohydrodynamic body force parameter decelerates the flow whereas it enhances temperature and nano-particle (species) concentrations. The study is relevant to enrobing processes for electric-conductive nano-materials, of potential use in aerospace and other industries.

Analytical study of the free and forced convective flow of Casson fluid in the existence of viscous dissipation, ohmic effect and uniform magnetic field in a porous channel to the physical model. The nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are converted to linear partial differential equations using similarity transformation and the classical perturbation method. The physical parameters such as Prandtl number (Pr), viscous dissipation (Vi), Schmidt number (Sc), Reynolds number (R), thermal buoyancy parameter (λ), Ohmic number (Oh), Casson fluid parameter (β), Darcy number (Da), Hartmann number (M2), the concentration of buoyancy parameter (N), chemical reaction rate (γ) effect on velocity, temperature and concentration have been studied with pictorial representation. For the particular case, the present paper analysis is compared with the previous work and is found good agreement.

This article has elucidated information about Brownian Motion in the ring, something that is still little explored in the literature. In addition, the ideas of feed, metabolic rate and stochastic restart to the walker were added, features that have been gaining ground recently in the study of random processes. This paper structured partial differential equations governing this process for the immortal case of walker, and later found analytical solutions to these expressions. The representation of stationary state was also performed in graphical form, thus obtaining the distribution function of probability required. In order to briefly approach the walker in a deadly process, a graph was produced that presents the function between the number of steps taken by a walker before his death and his metabolic capacity.Este artigo elucidou informações a respeito do movimento browniano no anel, algo ainda pouco explorado na literatura. Além disso, foram adicionadas as ideias de alimentação, taxa metabólica e reinício estocástico ao caminhante, características que vem ganhando espaço recentemente no estudo de processos aleatórios. Esse artigo realizou a estruturação das equações diferenciais parciais que regem tal processo para o caso de um caminhante imortal, além de posteriormente encontrar soluções analíticas para estas expressões. A representação do estado estacionário do caminhante também foi realizada na forma gráfica, obtendo assim as funções distribuição de probabilidade requeridas. Com o intuito de abordar brevemente o caminhante em um processo mortal, foi produzido um gráfico que apresenta a função entre o número de passos dados por um caminhante antes de sua morte e sua capacidade metabólica.
