The mathematical modeling of dusty Cu-Al2O3/water nanofluid flow driven by a permeable deformable sheet was explored numerically. Rather than no–slip conditions at the boundary, velocity slip and thermal slip were considered. To achieve the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), we employed some appropriate transformations and solved them numerically using MATLAB software (built–in solver called bvp4c). The influences of relevant parameters on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed and presented in graphs. The findings showed that double solutions appeared in the case of stretching and shrinking sheets which contributed to the analysis of stability. The stability analysis, therefore, confirmed that merely the first solution was a stable solution. The addition of nanometer-sized particles (Cu) was found to significantly strengthen the heat transfer rate of the dusty nanofluid. Meanwhile, an upsurge in the velocity and thermal slip was shown to decrease the local Nusselt number. The result also revealed that an increment of fluid particle interaction decreased the boundary layer thickness.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the steady mixed convection hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer past a vertical thin needle with prescribed surface heat flux. Design/methodology/approach The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by using a similarity transformation. The transformed equations are then solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in Matlab software. The features of the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the velocity and temperature profiles for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed. Findings It is found that dual solutions exist for a certain range of the mixed convection parameter where its critical values decrease with the increasing of the copper (Cu) nanoparticle volume fractions and for the smaller needle size. It is also observed that the increasing of the copper (Cu) nanoparticle volume fractions and the decreasing of the needle size tend to enhance the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number on the needle surface. A temporal stability analysis is performed to determine the stability of the dual solutions in the long run, and it is revealed that only one of them is stable, while the other is unstable. Originality/value The problem of hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer past a vertical thin needle with prescribed surface heat flux is the important originality of the present study where the dual solutions for the opposing flow are obtained.

The velocity and thermal slip impacts on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow and heat transfer through a stretched thin sheet are discussed in the paper. The no slip condition is substituted for a new slip condition consisting of higher-order slip and constitutive equation. Similarity transformation and Lie point symmetry are adopted to convert the derived governed equations to ordinary differential equations. An approximate analytical solution is gained through the homotopy analysis method. The impacts of velocity slip, temperature jump, and other physical parameters on flow and heat transfer are illustrated. Results indicate that the first-order slip and nonlinear slip parameters reduce the velocity boundary layer thickness and Nusselt number, whereas the effect on shear stress is converse. The temperature jump parameter causes a rise in the temperature, but a decline in the Nusselt number. With the increase of the order, we can get that the error reaches 10 − 6 from residual error curve. In addition, the velocity contours and the change of skin friction coefficient are computed through Ansys Fluent.

Nanofluid slip flow and heat transfer over the microchannel with asymmetric wall heat fluxes are investigated theoretically. The local thermal nonequilibrium model in which there is a difference between the solid temperature and nanofluid temperature is modified by considering the nonlinear velocity slip and temperature jump. Exact analytical solutions and homotopy series solutions for both velocity and temperature of nanofluid and solid are first obtained. Two groups of solutions agree well with existing references and residual errors are plotted. In addition, the effects of the physical factors on the heat transfer are graphically discussed. The results show that the first velocity slip enhances Nusselt numbers while the second slip coefficient has a reverse effect on them. As expected, the nanoparticle concentration enhances heat transfer on bottom wall.

This paper investigates the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid in the neighborhood of a stagnation point over a stretching surface in the presence of velocity and thermal slips at the boundary. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The analytic solutions are developed by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results pertaining to the present study indicate that the flow and temperature fields are significantly influenced by Casson parameter (), the magnetic parameter , the velocity slip parameter , and the thermal slip parameter . An increase in the velocity slip parameter causes decrease in the flow velocity, while an increase in the value of the thermal slip parameter causes increase in the temperature of the fluid. It is also observed that the velocity at a point decreases with increase in .
