In this study, a modified Sisko fluid with Buongiorno model effects over a curved surface was considered. The MHD was applied normally to the flow direction, and the effects of chemical reacted and active energy at the curved surface is also discussed. We chose this pertinent non-Newtonian fluid model since it best represents blood composition, and thus helps us venture into complex blood flow problems. Since the flow is discharged over a curved shape, we therefore commissioned curvilinear coordinates to best portray our envisaged problem. We were also required to define various sundry parameters to make our mathematical equations easily solvable. Mathematical modelling was completed by considering traditional assumptions, including boundary layer approximation. Numerical simulation was conducted using MATLAB solver bvp4c. Several numerical tests were conducted to select the best blend of the linked parameters. We noticed thermal flux upsurged when the chemical reaction parameter was increased with the magnetic indicator parameter caused the flow to slow down, while an increasing amount of activation energy enhanced the concentration of the fluid. The numerical results and impacts of assorted parameters on different profiles are elaborated with the help of graphs and a table.

Abstract Here we address the influence of heat/mass transfer on MHD axisymmetric viscoelastic fluid flow developed by an elastic sheet stretching linearly in the radial direction. Constitutive relations of Maxwell fluid model are utilized in mathematical formulation of the problem. Non-linear radiation heat flux is factored in the model which accounts for both small and large temperature differences. Chemical reaction effects with modified Arrhenius energy function are analyzed which are not yet explored for viscoelastic fluid flows. Highly accurate numerical computations are performed. Our computations show S-shaped profiles of temperature function in case of sufficiently large temperature differences. Species concentration increases when activation energy for chemical reaction is increased. However, both chemical reaction rate and temperature gradient tend to reduce the solute concentration.

The present study gives a remedy for the malign tissues, cells, or clogged arteries of the heart by means of permeating a slim tube (i.e., catheter) in the body. The tiny size gold particles drift in free space of catheters having flexible walls with couple stress fluid. To improve the efficiency of curing and speed up the process, activation energy has been added to the process. The modified Arrhenius function and Buongiorno model, respectively, moderate the inclusion of activation energy and nanoparticles of gold. The effects of chemical reaction and activation energy on peristaltic transport of nanofluids are also taken into account. It is found that the golden particles encapsulate large molecules to transport essential drugs efficiently to the effected part of the organ.

AbstractIn order to meet the current challenges in the fabrication of nanobiomaterials and enhancement of thermal extrusion systems, current theoretical continuation is targeted at the rheology of couple stress nanofluid by exploiting activation energy, porous media, thermal radiation, gyrotactic micro-organisms, and convective Nield boundary conditions. The heat and mass performances of nanofluid are captured with an evaluation of the famous Buongiorno model, which enables us to determine the attractive features of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion. The couple stress fluid is beneficial to examine multiple kinds of physical problems because this fluid model has the capability to describe the rheology of various complex fluids, e. g., fluids having long-chain molecules as a polymeric suspension, liquid crystals, lubricants, and human and animal blood. Simultaneous behavior of the magnetic field and porosity are studied with thermal radiation effects. The distribution of velocity has been conducted by using second-order velocity slip (Wu’s slip) and activation energy features. For the dimensionless purpose, the similarity variable has been initiated, and the modeled equations are renovated sufficiently. A famous shooting method is used to determine the numerical solutions, and accurate results have been obtained. A variety of critical flow parameters is graphically illustrated with physical significance.

Abstract The study of nanofluids is the most debated subject for the last two decades. Researchers have shown great interest owing to the amazing features of nanofluids including heat transfer and thermal conductivity enhancement capabilities. Having such remarkable features of nanofluids in mind we have envisioned a mathematical model that discusses the flow of nanofluid comprising Nickel-Zinc Ferrite-Ethylene glycol (Ni-ZnFe2O4–C2H6O2) amalgamation past an elongated curved surface with autocatalytic chemical reaction. The additional impacts added to the flow model are the heat generation/absorption with nonlinear thermal radiation. At the boundary, the slip and the convective conditions are added. Pertinent transformations are affianced to get the system of ordinary differential equations from the governing system in curvilinear coordinates. A numerical solution is found by applying MATLAB build-in function bvp4c. Graphical illustrations and the numerically computed estimates are discussed and analyzed properly. It is comprehended that velocity and temperature distributions have varied trends near and away from the curve when the curvature parameter is enhanced. Further, it is comprehended that the concentration field declines for both homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction parameters.

The growing development in the thermal engineering and nano-technology, much attention has been paid on the thermal properties of nanoparticles which convey many applications in industrial, technological and medical era of sciences. The noteworthy applications of nano-materials included heat transfer enhancement, thermal energy, solar systems, cooling of electronics, controlling the heat mechanisms etc. Beside this, entropy generation is an optimized scheme which reflects significances in thermodynamics systems to control the higher energy efficiency. On this end, present work presents the slip flow of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with applications of activation energy and viscous dissipation. The entropy generation features along with Bejan number significance is also addressed in present analysis. Buongiorno model of nanofluid is used to discuss the heat and mass transfer. The formulated flow equations are attained into non-dimensional form. An appropriate ND MATHEMATICA built-in scheme is used to find the solution. The solution confirmation is verified by performing the error analysis. For developed flow model and impacted parameters, a comprehensive graphical analysis is performed. It is observed that slip phenomenon is used to decays the velocity profile. Temperature and concentration are in direct relation with Brownian motion parameter and activation energy respectively. Entropy and Bejan number have same results for greater diffusion parameter.

This communication aims to develop the thermal flow model for generalized micropolar nanofluid with insensitive applications of bioconvection, activation energy and nonlinear thermal radiation. The generalized micropolar fluid model is the extension of traditional micropolar fluid model with viscoelastic relations. The viscous nature of non-Newtonian micropolar material can be successfully predicted with help of this model. The motivating idea for considering the motile microorganisms is to control the nanoparticles suspension effectively. The higher order slip relations are incorporated to examine the bio-convective phenomenon. The simplified coupled equations in terms of non-dimensional variables are numerically treated with shooting scheme. The reliable graphical outcomes are presented for flow parameters governed to the transported problem. The flow pattern of each parameter is highlighted in view of viscous nature of micropolar fluid.
