This study comprehensively explores the generalized form of two-dimensional peristaltic motions of incompressible fluid through temperature-dependent physical properties in a non-symmetric channel. Generation of entropy in the system, carrying Joule heat and Lorentz force is also examined. Viscous dissipation is not ignored, for viewing in-depth, effects of heat transmission and entropy production. The modeling of equations is tracked first in fixed and then in wave frame. The resultant set of coupled non-linear equations are solved numerically by utilizing NDSolve in Mathematica. Comparison between NDSolve and the numerical results obtained through bvp4c MATLAB is made for the validation of our numerical codes. The attained results are found to be in excellent agreement. The impact of control parameters on the velocity profiles, pressure gradient, heat transfer, streamlines and entropy production are studied and discussed graphically. It is witnessed that entropy production and heat transfer are increased significantly subject to the enhancement of Hartman number, Brinkman number and electrical conductivity parameter. Hence, choosing appropriate values of physical parameters, performance and efficiency of flow structure and system can be improved. The results reported provide a virtuous insight into bio energy systems providing a useful standard for experimental and extra progressive computational multiphysics simulations.

In this research, we studied the impact of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal radiation on Eyring Powell fluid with porous channels. The dimensionless equations were solved using the perturbation technique using the Weissenberg number (ε ≪ 1) to obtain clear formulas for the velocity field. All of the solutions for the physical parameters of the Reynolds number (Re), magnetic parameter (M), Darcy parameter (Da) and Prandtl number (Pr) were discussed through their different values. As shown in the plots the two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphical results of the velocity profile against various pertinent parameters have been illustrated with physical reasons. The results revealed that the temperature distribution increases for higher Prandtl and thermal radiation values. Such findings are beneficial in the field of engineering sciences.

Analytical approximations are developed to predict the effect of a temperature-dependent viscosity on convective heat transfer through liquids in fully developed turbulent pipe flow. The analysis expresses the heat transfer coefficient ratio for variable to constant viscosity in terms of the friction factor ratio for variable to constant viscosity, Tw, Tb, and a fluid viscosity-temperature parameter β. The results are independent of any particular eddy diffusivity distribution. The formulas developed here represent an analytical approximation to the model developed by Goldmann. These approximations are in good agreement with numerical solutions of the model nonlinear differential equation. To compare the results of these calculations with experimental data, a knowledge of the effect of variable viscosity on the friction factor is required. When available correlations for the friction factor are used, the results given here are seen to agree well with experimental heat transfer coefficients over a considerable range of μw/μb.

Abstract The 3D flow of non-Newtonian nanoliquid flows past a bidirectional stretching sheet with heat transfer is investigated in the present study. It is assumed that viscosity of the liquid varies with temperature. Carreau non-Newtonain model, Tiwari and Das nanofluid model are used to formulate the problem. The impacts of Joule heating, nonlinear radiation and non-uniform (space and temperature dependent) heat source/sink are accounted. Al-Cu-CH3OH and Cu-CH3OH are considered as nanoliquids for the present study. The solution of the problem is attained by the application of shooting and R.K. numerical procedures. Graphical and tabular illustrations are incorporated with a view of understanding the influence of various physical parameters on the flow field. We eyed that using of Al-Cu alloy nanoparticles in the carrier liquid leads to superior heat transfer ability instead of using only Aluminum nanoparticles. Weissenberg number and viscosity parameter have inclination to exalt the thermal field.

The main aim of the current study is to determine the effects of the temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a non-Newtonian fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet. The viscosity of the fluid depends on stratifications. Moreover, Powell–Eyring fluid is electrically conducted subject to a non-uniform applied magnetic field. Assume a small magnetic reynolds number and boundary layer approximation are applied in the mathematical formulation. Zero nano-particles mass flux condition to the sheet is considered. The governing model is transformed into the system of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) system by using suitable transformations so-called similarity transformation. In order to calculate the solution of the problem, we use the higher order convergence method, so-called shooting method followed by Runge-Kutta Fehlberg (RK45) method. The impacts of different physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed and discussed. The parameters of engineering interest, i.e., skin fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are studied numerically as well. We concluded that the velocity profile decreases by increasing the values of S t , H and M. Also, we have analyzed the variation of temperature and concentration profiles for different physical parameters.

Manufacturing of modern coating materials doped with magnetic nanoparticles has arisen as an exciting new area of materials processing fluid dynamics. Methanol is primarily used in chemical manufacturing, specialized vehicles fuel, energy carrier, as an antifreeze in pipelines, in wastewater treatment plant, and many more. In this article, a mathematical model is therefore developed to study crosswise flow of methanol-based ferromagnetic fluid through a permeable medium with suction/injection effects. Temperature-dependent viscosity is taken with Reynolds exponential model. The Tiwari–Das and Maxwell–Garnett nanofluid models are used, which alters the electrical conductivity, density, and thermal conductivity properties with nanoparticle volume fraction. The two-dimensional mass, momentum, and energy equations are normalized into nonlinear system comprising ordinary differential equations via appropriate similarity transformations. The solution of the emerging physical problem is attained by shooting scheme in MATLAB symbolic software. Validation of the results is presented through comparison with previously reported literature in the limiting sense. The influence of pertinent parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics is revealed through graphs. It is found that velocity profiles are suppressed with greater magnetic parameter and porosity parameters but temperature profile is enhanced. Velocity and temperature profiles for injection case are higher when compared with the suction phenomenon. Shear stress at the wall is decreased with volume fraction. Heat transfer gradient at the wall is significantly enhanced with volume fraction.
