The Impact

In this research, the three-dimensional nanofluid thin-film flow of Casson fluid over an inclined steady rotating plane is examined. A thermal radiated nanofluid thin film flow is considered with suction/injection effects. With the help of similarity variables, the partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The obtained ODEs are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM) with the association of MATHEMATICA software. The boundary-layer over an inclined steady rotating plane is plotted and explored in detail for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Also, the surface rate of heat transfer and shear stress are described in detail. The impact of numerous embedded parameters, such as the Schmidt number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoretic parameter, and Casson parameter (Sc, Nb, Nt, γ), etc., were examined on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles, respectively. The essential terms of the Nusselt number and Sherwood number were also examined numerically and physically for the temperature and concentration profiles. It was observed that the radiation source improves the energy transport to enhance the flow motion. The smaller values of the Prandtl number, Pr, augmented the thermal boundary-layer and decreased the flow field. The increasing values of the rotation parameter decreased the thermal boundary layer thickness. These outputs are examined physically and numerically and are also discussed.

In the present study, the three-dimensional Darcy–Forchheimer magnetohydrodynamic thin-film nanofluid containing flow over an inclined steady rotating plane is observed. Nanofluid thin-film flows are taken thermally radiated and suction/injection effect is also considered. By similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into a set of first-ordinary differential equations (ODES). By Homotopy Analysis Method, the required ODES is solved. The boundary layer over an inclined steady rotating plane is plotted and observed in detail for the velocity, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] profiles. The influence of various embedded parameters such as variable thickness, [Formula: see text]Pr, and thermophoretic parameter on velocity, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] profile. The influence of many parameters is explained by graphs for the velocity, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. The crucial terms of Nusselt number and Sherwood number have also been observed numerically and physically for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Radiation phenomena is the cause of energy to the liquid system. For more rotation parameters, the thermal boundary-layer thickness is reduced.

In the present study, we examine three-dimensional thin film flow over an angular rotating disk plane in the presence of nanoparticles. The governing basic equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity variables. The series solution has been obtained by the homotopy asymptotic method (HAM) for axial velocity, radial velocity, darning flow, induced flow, and temperature and concentration profiles. For the sake of accuracy, the results are also clarified numerically with the help of the BVPh2- midpoint method. The effect of embedded parameters such as the Brownian motion parameter Nb, Schmidt number Sc, thermophoretic parameter and Prandtl number Pr are explored on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. It is observed that with the increase in the unsteadiness factor S, the thickness of the momentum boundary layer increases, while the Sherwood number Sc, with the association of heat flow from sheet to fluid, reduces with the rise in S and results in a cooling effect. It is also remarkable to note that the thermal boundary layer increases with the increase of the Brownian motion parameter Nb and Prandtl number Pr, hindering the cooling process resulting from heat transfer.

Thin films and coatings which have a high demand in a variety of industries—such as manufacturing, optics, and photonics—need regular improvement to sustain industrial productivity. Thus, the present work examined the problem of the Carreau thin film flow and heat transfer with the influence of thermocapillarity over an unsteady stretching sheet, numerically. The sheet is permeable, and there is an injection effect at the surface of the stretching sheet. The similarity transformation reduced the partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations which is then solved numerically by the MATLAB boundary value problem solver bvp4c. The more substantial effect of injection was found to be the reduction of the film thickness at the free surface and development of a better rate of convective heat transfer. However, the increment in the thermocapillarity number thickens the film, reduces the drag force, and weakens the rate of heat transfer past the stretching sheet. The triple solutions are identified when the governing parameters vary, but two of the solutions gave negative film thickness. Detecting solutions with the most negative film thickness is essential because it implies the interruption in the laminar flow over the stretching sheet, which then affects the thin film growing process.

The present framework addresses Darcy-Forchheimer steady incompressible magneto hydrodynamic hyperbolic tangent fluid with deferment of dust particles over a stretching surface along with exponentially decaying heat source. To control the thermal boundary layer Convective conditions are considered. Appropriate transformations were utilized to convert partial differential equations (PDEs) into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NODEs). To present numerical approximations Runge-Kutta Fehlberg integration is implemented. Computational results of the flow and energy transport are interpreted for both fluid and dust phase with the support of graph and table illustrations. It is found that non-uniform inertia coefficient of porous medium decreases velocity boundary layer thickness and enhances thermal boundary layer. Improvement in Weissenberg number improves the velocity boundary layer and declines the thermal boundary layer.

Moderate Reynolds Number

Viscous, laminar, gravitationally-driven flow of a thin film over a round-crested weir is analyzed for moderate Reynolds numbers. A previous analysis of this flow utilized a momentum integral approach with a semiparabolic velocity profile to obtain an equation for the film thickness (Ruschak, K. J., and Weinstein, S. J., 1999, “Viscous Thin-Film Flow Over a Round-Crested Weir,” ASME J. Fluids Eng., 121, pp. 673–677). In this work, a viscous boundary layer is introduced in the manner of Haugen (Haugen, R., 1968, “Laminar Flow Around a Vertical Wall,” ASME J. Appl. Mech. 35, pp. 631–633). As in the previous analysis of Ruschak and Weinstein, the approximate equations have a critical point that provides an internal boundary condition for a bounded solution. The complication of a boundary layer is found to have little effect on the thickness profile while introducing a weak singularity at its beginning. The thickness of the boundary layer grows rapidly, and there is little cumulative effect of the increased wall friction. Regardless of whether a boundary layer is incorporated, the approximate free-surface profiles are close to profiles from finite-element solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation. Similar results are obtained for the related problem of developing flow on a vertical wall (Cerro, R. L., and Whitaker, S., 1971, “Entrance Region Flows With a Free Surface: the Falling Liquid Film,” Chem. Eng. Sci., 26, pp. 785–798). Less accurate results are obtained for decelerating flow on a horizontal wall (Watson, E. J., 1964, “The Radial Spread of a Liquid Jet Over a Horizontal Plane,” J. Fluid Mech. 20, pp. 481–499) where the flow is not gravitationally driven. [S0098-2202(00)01904-0]

Thin Film Thickness

Abstract The process of thin films is commonly utilized to improve the surface characteristics of materials. A thin film helps to improve the absorption, depreciation, flexibility, lighting, transport, and electromagnetic efficiency of a bulk material medium. Thin film treatment can be especially helpful in nanotechnology. As a result, the current study investigates the computational process of heat relocation analysis in a thin-film MHD flow embedded in hybrid nanoparticles, which combines the spherical copper and alumina dispersed in ethylene glycol as the conventional heat transfer Newtonian fluid model over a stretching sheet. Important elements such as thermophoresis and Brownian movement are used to explain the characteristics of heat and mass transfer analysis. Nonlinear higher differential equations (ODEs) were attained by transforming partial differential equations (PDEs) into governing equations when implementing the similarity transformation technique. The resulting nonlinear ODEs have been utilized by using the homotopy analysis method (MHD). The natures of the thin-film flow and heat transfer through the various values of the pertinent parameters: unsteadiness, nanoparticle volume fraction, thin-film thickness, magnetic interaction and intensity suction/injection are deliberated. The approximate consequences for flow rate and temperature distributions and physical quantities in terms of local skin friction and Nusselt number were obtained and analysed via graphs and tables. As a consequence, the suction has a more prodigious effect on the hybrid nanofluid than on the injection fluid for all the investigated parameters. It is worth acknowledging that the existence of the nanoparticles and MHD in the viscous hybrid nanofluid tends to enhance the temperature profile but decay the particle movement in the thin-film flow. It is perceived that the velocity and temperature fields decline with increasing unsteadiness, thin-film thickness and suction/injection parameters.

An accelerating laminar thin-film flow along a vertical wall is investigated in this paper. Using a cubic polynomial for the velocity profile inside the boundary layer the momentum integral equation is solved by a Runge-Kutta method to determine the boundary layer thickness. The corresponding film-thickness is then calculated for the entrance region. These results are compared with the existing results obtained by using a parabolic velocity profile.
