In the previous decennium, considerable applications ofnanoparticles have been developed in the area of science. Nanoparticles with micropolar fluid suspended in conventional fluids can increase the heat transfer. Micropolar fluids have attracted much research attention because of their use in industrial processes. Exotic lubricants, liquid crystal solidification, cooling of a metallic plate in a bath, extrusion of metals and polymers, drawing of plastic films, manufacturing of glass and paper sheets, and colloidal suspension solutions are just a few examples. The primary goal of this studywas to see how radiation and velocity slip affect the mixed convection of sodium alginate nanofluid flow over a non-isothermal wedge in a saturated porous media.In this communication, theTiwari and Das model was employed to investigate the micropolarnanofluid flow via mixed convection over aradiated wedge in a saturated porous medium with the velocity slip condition. Nanoparticles of silver (Ag) wreused in asodium alginate base fluid. The intended system of governing equations is converted to a set of ordinary differential equations and then solved applying the finite difference method. Variousfluid flows, temperatures, and physical quantities of interest were examined. The effects of radiation on the skin friction are negligible in the case of forced and mixed convection, whereas radiation increases the skin friction in free convection. It is demonstrated that the pressure gradient, solid volume fraction, radiation, and slip parameters enhance the Nusselt number, whereas the micropolar parameter reduces the Nusselt number.

In the current investigation a mathematical model is simplified to explore the numerical treatment for the thermal and flow behavior in a magneto hydrodynamics Casson fluid through a micro channel by taking [Formula: see text] nanoparticles. The combined effects of temperature jump, porous medium and velocity slip are incorporated. Using the dimensionless variables one can obtain the governing differential equations thereafter resolved numerically using RKF45 method. The velocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number coefficient are addressed for different pertaining parameter. The upshots of the current investigation are visualized through graphically elucidation. Out comes shows that larger values of solid volume fraction decreases both velocity and temperature field. Furthermore drag coefficient is increases for increase in magnetic parameter, also hybrid nanofluid gives more impact than nanofluid.

In this paper, the combined effects of magnetic field, buoyancy forces, nth order chemical reaction, heat source, viscous dissipation, Joule heating and variable viscosity on mixed convection Blasius flow of a conducting fluid over a convectively heated permeable plate embedded in a porous medium is investigated. The fluid properties are assumed to be constant except for the density variation with the temperature and reacting chemical species concentration. The nonlinear governing differential equations were obtained and solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically. The effects of pertinent parameters on the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are examined. It is found that skin friction decreases while Nusselt number and Sherwood number increase with a decrease in the fluid viscosity in the presence of magnetic field.

ABSTRACTNumerical analysis was investigated for steady two-dimensional double diffusive mixed convection boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded non-Darcy porous medium filled with nanofluid, in presence of thermal dispersion and under convective boundary conditions. The Buongiorno nanofluid model is used, while the porous medium is described by the Darcy-Forchheimer extension. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into four coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using an appropriate similarity transformations and the resulting system of equations is then solved numerically by the finite-difference method. Numerical results are presented to illustrate how the physical parameters affect the flow field, temperature, concentration and solid volume fraction profiles. In addition, the variation of heat, mass and nanoparticle transfer rates at the plate are exhibited graphically for different values of pertinent parameters.

The mixed convection in a cubical cavity with active lateral walls and filled with a graphene–platinum hybrid nanofluid was investigated numerically and exclusively in the present paper. The lateral left and back sidewalls were kept at a hot temperature (Th), while the lateral right and front sidewalls were kept at a cold temperature (Tc). Both the top and bottom walls were assumed thermally insulated. The top wall of the cavity was considered moving with two different directions. The first one is in the x-direction (case I), while the second case is in the z-direction (case II). Also, the case of the fixed top wall was studied just for comparison. The solid volume fractions have been varied as 0 ≤ φ ≤ 0.1%, while the Richardson number is varied in the range of 0.01 ≤Ri ≤ 10. It was found that the maximum average Nusselt number corresponds to the case when the top wall moving in the negative x-direction. Also, the results indicated that the average Nusselt number increases with the increase in the Richardson number and the solid volume fraction.

A numerical study of mixed convection flow and heat transfer inside a square cavity with inlet and outlet ports is performed. The position of the inlet port is fixed but the location of the outlet port is varied along the four walls of the cavity to investigate the best position corresponding to maximum heat transfer rate and minimum pressure drop in the cavity. It is seen that the overall Nusselt number and pressure drop coefficient vary drastically depending on the Reynolds and Richardson numbers and the position of the outlet port. As the Richardson number increases, the overall Nusselt number generally rises for all cases investigated. It is deduced that placing the outlet port on the right side of the top wall is the best position that leads to the greatest overall Nusselt number and lower pressure drop coefficient. Finally, the effects of nanoparticles on heat transfer are investigated for the best position of the outlet port. It is found that an enhancement of heat transfer and pressure drop is seen in the presence of nanoparticles and augments with solid volume fraction of the nanofluid. It is also observed that the effects of nanoparticles on heat transfer at low Richardson numbers is more than that of high Richardson numbers. <br><br><font color="red"><b> This article has been retracted.

Purpose – The current study is mainly motivated by the need to the development of the transient MHD mixed convection stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting nanofluid over a vertical permeable stretching/shrinking sheet by means of Tiwari-Das nanofluid model. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of the parameters governing the flow i.e. the nanoparticle volume fraction, the unsteadiness parameter, the magnetic parameter, the wall transpiration parameter, the mixed convection parameter and the velocity ratio parameter on dimensionless velocity and temperature distributions, skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number. Design/methodology/approach – The mathematical model has been formulated based on Tiwari-Das nanofluid model. Three different types of water-based nanofluid with copper, aluminum oxide (alumina) and titanium dioxide (titania) as nanoparticles are considered in this investigation. Using appropriate similarity variables, the governing equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations in the dimensionless stream function, which is solved analytically by the well-know homotopy analysis method. The present simulations agree closely with the previous studies in the especial cases. Findings – The results show that by increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction, the unsteadiness parameter, the magnetic parameter, the wall transpiration parameter, the mixed convection parameter or reducing the velocity ratio parameter, the skin friction coefficient enhances. Furthermore, the local Nusselt number enhances with different rates by increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction, the unsteadiness parameter, the magnetic parameter, the wall transpiration parameter, the mixed convection parameter and the velocity ratio parameter. Besides, the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are highest for copper-water nanofluid compared to the alumina-water and titania-water nanofluids. Originality/value – Tiwari-Das nanofluid model has not been applied for the flow with these characteristics as mentioned in the paper. A comprehensive survey on boundary layer behavior has been presented. There are few studies regarding as analysis on thermal and hydrodynamics boundary layer. All plots presented in the paper are new and did not report in any other study. The effects of the parameters governing the flow on skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number have been illustrated in the paper while there are some conflicts with previous published article that have been interpreted in details in the paper.

Laminar mixed convection Al2O3-Water nanofluid flow in elliptic ducts with constant heat flux boundary condition has been simulated employing two phase mixture model. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes, energy and volume fraction equations have been discretized using the Finite Volume Method (FVM). The Brownian motions of nanoparticles have been considered to determine the thermal conductivity and dynamics viscosity of Al2O3-Water nanofluid, which vary with temperature. Simulation effects of solid volume fraction and nanoparticles mean diameter on thermal and hydraulics behaviors of nanofluid flow in elliptic ducts have been presented and discussed. The calculated results show good agreement with the previous numerical data. Results show that in a given Reynolds number (Re) and Richardson number (Ri), increasing solid nanoparticles volume fraction increases the Nusselt number (Nu) while the skin friction factor decreases. Increasing nanoparticles mean diameter augments the local skin friction factor whereas it causes the Nusselt number to reduce. But these effects are significant for nanoparticles diameter equal to 13nm especially.

In this work, we identified the characteristics of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of ferrofluid past a radiated stretching surface. Cobalt–kerosene ferrofluid is considered and the impacts of Navier slip and convective heating are additionally considered. The mathematical model which describes the problem was built from some partial differential equations and then converted to self-similar equations with the assistance of the Lie group method; after that, the mathematical model was solved numerically with the aid of Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. Graphical representations were used to exemplify the impact of influential parameters on dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles; the obtained results for the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number were also examined graphically. It was demonstrated that the magnetic field, Navier slip, and solid volume fraction of ferroparticles tended to reduce the dimensionless velocity, while the radiation parameter and Biot number had no effects on the dimensionless velocity. Moreover, the magnetic field and solid volume fraction increase skin friction whereas Navier slip reduces the skin friction. Furthermore, the Navier slip and magnetic field reduce the Nusselt number, whereas solid volume fraction of ferroparticles, convective heating, and radiation parameters help in increasing the Nusselt number.

The present article inspects velocity slip impacts in three-dimensional flow of water based carbon nanotubes because of a stretchable rotating disk. Nanoparticles like single and multi walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are utilized. Graphical outcomes have been acquired for both single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The heat transport system is examined in the presence of thermal convective condition. Proper variables lead to a strong nonlinear standard differential framework. The associated nonlinear framework has been tackled by an optimal homotopic strategy. Diagrams have been plotted so as to examine how the temperature and velocities are influenced by different physical variables. The coefficients of skin friction and Nusselt number have been exhibited graphically. Our results indicate that the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are enhanced for larger values of nanoparticle volume fraction.

The influence of second-order velocity slip on the MHD flow of nanofluid in a porous medium under the effects of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions has been analyzed. The governing flow equation is exactly solved and compared with those in the literature for the skin friction coefficient in the absence of the second slip, where great differences have been observed. In addition, the effects of the permanent parameters on the skin friction coefficient, the velocity, and the concentration have been discussed in the presence of the second slip. As an important result, the behavior of the skin friction coefficient at various values of the porosity and volume fraction is changed from increasing (in the absence of the second slip) to decreasing (in the presence of the second slip), which confirms the importance of the second slip in modeling the boundary layer flow of nanofluids. In addition, five kinds of nanofluids have been investigated for the velocity profiles and it is found that the Ag-water nanofluid is the lowest. For only the heterogeneous reaction, the concentration equation has been exactly solved, while the numerical solution is applied in the general case. Accordingly, a reduction in the concentration occurs with the strengthening of the heterogenous reaction and also with the increase in the Schmidt parameter. Moreover, the Ag-water nanofluid is of lower concentration than the Cu-water nanofluid. This is also true for the general case, when both of the homogenous and heterogenous reactions take place.
