Bioconvection phenomena for MHD Williamson nanofluid flow over an extending sheet of irregular thickness are investigated theoretically, and non-uniform viscosity and thermal conductivity depending on temperature are taken into account. The magnetic field of uniform strength creates a magnetohydrodynamics effect. The basic formulation of the model developed in partial differential equations which are later transmuted into ordinary differential equations by employing similarity variables. To elucidate the influences of controlling parameters on dependent quantities of physical significance, a computational procedure based on the Runge–Kutta method along shooting technique is coded in MATLAB platform. This is a widely used procedure for the solution of such problems because it is efficient with fifth-order accuracy and cost-effectiveness. The enumeration of the results reveals that Williamson fluid parameter λ, variable viscosity parameter Λμ and wall thickness parameter ς impart reciprocally decreasing effect on fluid velocity whereas these parameters directly enhance the fluid temperature. The fluid temperature is also improved with Brownian motion parameter Nb and thermophoresis parameter Nt. The boosted value of Brownian motion Nb and Lewis number Le reduce the concentration of nanoparticles. The higher inputs of Peclet number Pe and bioconvection Lewis number Lb decline the bioconvection distribution. The velocity of non-Newtonian (Williamson nanofluid) is less than the viscous nanofluid but temperature behaves oppositely.

The steady hydromagnetic flow of a viscous, incompressible, perfectly conducting, and heat absorbing fluid past a vertical flat plate under the influence of an aligned magnetic field is studied. The flow is subject to mixed convective heat transfer. The fluid is assumed to have a reasonably high magnetic Prandtl number which causes significant-induced magnetic field effects. Such fluid flows find application in many magnetohydrodynamic devices including MHD power-generation. The effects of viscous dissipation and heat absorption by the fluid are investigated. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into a set of nonsimilar partial differential equations which are then solved using a spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). The effects of the important parameters on the fluid velocity, induced magnetic field, fluid temperature and as well as on the coefficient of skin-friction and the Nusselt number are discussed qualitatively.

Abstract Current article is devoted with the study of MHD 3D flow of Oldroyd B type nanofluid induced by bi-directional stretching sheet. Expertise similarity transformation is confined to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary nonlinear differential equations. These dimensionless equations are then solved by the Differential Transform Method combined with the Padé approximation (DTM-Padé). Dealings of the arising physical parameters namely the Deborah numbers β1 and β2, Prandtl number Pr, Brownian motion parameter Nb and thermophoresis parameter Nt on the fluid velocity, temperature and concentration profile are depicted through graphs. Also a comparative study between DTM and numerical method are presented by graph and other semi-analytical techniques through tables. It is envisage that the velocity profile declines with rising magnetic factor, temperature profile increases with magnetic parameter, Deborah number of first kind and Brownian motion parameter while decreases with Deborah number of second kind and Prandtl number. A comparative study also visualizes comparative study in details.

Nanofluid Flow

This work presents a numerical investigation of viscous nanofluid flow over a curved stretching surface. Single-walled carbon nanotubes were taken as a solid constituent of the nanofluids. Dynamic viscosity was assumed to be an inverse function of fluid temperature. The problem is modeled with the help of a generalized theory of Eringen Micropolar fluid in a curvilinear coordinates system. The governing systems of non-linear partial differential equations consist of mass flux equation, linear momentum equations, angular momentum equation, and energy equation. The transformed ordinary differential equations for linear and angular momentum along with energy were solved numerically with the help of the Keller box method. Numerical and graphical results were obtained to analyze the flow characteristic. It is perceived that by keeping the dynamic viscosity temperature dependent, the velocity of the fluid away from the surface rose in magnitude with the values of the magnetic parameter, while the couple stress coefficient decreased with rising values of the magnetic parameter.

ABSTRACTThe problem of unsteady boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a stretching surface is studied. Heat transfer due to melting is analyzed. Using a similarity transformation the governing coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of the model are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and then solved numerically by a Runge-Kutta method with a shooting technique. Dual solutions are observed numerically and their characteristics are analyzed. The effects of the pertinent parameters such as the acceleration parameter, the Brownian motion parameter, the thermophoresis parameter, the Prandtl number and the Lewis number on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are discussed. Also the effects of these parameters on the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are analyzed through graphs. It is observed that the melting phenomenon has a significant effect on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics.

AbstractThis study presents the magnetized and non-magnetized Casson fluid flow with gyrotactic microorganisms over a stratified stretching cylinder. The mathematical modeling is presented in the form of partial differential equations and then transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) utilizing suitable similarity transformations. The analytical solution of the transformed ODEs is presented with the help of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence analysis of HAM is also presented by mean of figure. The present analysis consists of five phases. In the first four phases, we have compared our work with previously published investigations while phase five is consists of our new results. The influences of dimensionless factors like a magnetic parameter, thermal radiation, curvature parameter, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, Schmidt number, heat generation, chemical reaction parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Eckert number, and concentration difference parameter on physical quantities of interests and flow profiles are shown through tables and figures. It has been established that with the increasing Casson parameter (i.e. $$\beta \to \infty$$ β → ∞ ), the streamlines become denser which results the increasing behavior in the fluid velocity while on the other hand, the fluid velocity reduces for the existence of Casson parameter (i.e. $$\beta = 1.0$$ β = 1.0 ). Also, the streamlines of stagnation point Casson fluid flow are highly wider for the case of magnetized fluid as equated to non-magnetized fluid. The higher values of bioconvection Lewis number, Peclet number, and microorganisms’ concentration difference parameter reduces the motile density function of microorganisms while an opposite behavior is depicted against density number.

Nanofluids are used as coolants in heat transport devices like heat exchangers, radiators, and electronic cooling systems (like a flat plate) because of their improved thermal properties. The preeminent perspective of this study is to highlight the influence of combined convection on heat transfer and pseudoplastic non-Newtonian nanofluid flow towards an extendable Riga surface. Buongiorno model is incorporated in the present study to tackle a diverse range of Reynolds numbers and to analyze the behavior of the pseudoplastic nanofluid flow. Nanofluid features are scrutinized through Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusion. By the use of the boundary layer principle, the compact form of flow equations is transformed into component forms. The modeled system is numerically simulated. The effects of various physical parameters on skin friction, mass transfer, and thermal energy are numerically computed. Fluctuations of velocity increased when modified Hartmann number and mixed convection parameter are boosted, where it collapses for Weissenberg number and width parameter. It can be revealed that the temperature curve gets down if modified Hartmann number, mixed convection, and buoyancy ratio parameters upgrade. Concentration patterns diminish when there is an incline in width parameter and Lewis number; on the other hand, it went upward for Brownian motion parameter, modified Hartmann, and Prandtl number.

The dynamics of the 3-dimensional flow of magnetized Carreau fluid past a paraboloid surface of revolution is studied through thermal radiation and mass transfer analysis. The impacts of Brownian motion and chemical reaction rate are considered on the flow dynamics. The system of nonlinear PDEs are converted to coupled ODEs by employing suitable transformation relations. The developed ODEs are solved by applying the standard procedure of homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various interesting parameters on the state variables of the Carreau fluid (velocity components, temperature, concentration, and shear stress) are explained through various graphs and tables. It is found that the horizontal velocity components augment with the rising magnetic parameter and Grashof number values. The fluid temperature augments with the higher values of the pertinent parameters except Prandtl number. The Nusselet number and fluid concentration enhance with the augmenting Brownian motion parameter. The shear stress augments with the rising Grashof number. The agreement of the obtained and published results validate the accuracy of the employed technique.

The principal objective of the current study is to analyze the Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts on micropolar nanofluid flow over a nonlinear inclined stretching sheet taking into account the Soret and Dufour effects. The compatible similarity transformations are applied to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations from the partial differential equations. The numerical solution of the present study obtained via the Keller-Box technique. The physical quantities of interest are skin friction, Sherwood number, and heat exchange, along with several influences of material parameters on the momentum, temperature, and concentration are elucidated and clarified with diagrams. A decent settlement can be established in the current results with previously published work in the deficiency of incorporating effects. It is found that the growth of the inclination and nonlinear stretching factor decreases the velocity profile. Moreover, the growth of the Soret effect reduces the heat flux rate and wall shear stress.

Abstract An analysis of this paper is examined, two-dimensional, laminar with heat and mass transfer of natural convective nanofluid flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate surface with velocity and thermal slip effects are studied theoretically. The coupled governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by using non-similarity transformations. The obtained ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by a well-known method named as Keller Box Method (KBM). The influences of the emerging parameters i.e. Casson fluid parameter (β), Brownian motion parameter (Nb), thermophoresis parameter (Nt), Buoyancy ratio parameter (N), Lewis number (Le), Prandtl number (Pr), Velocity slip factor (Sf) and Thermal slip factor (ST) on velocity, temperature and nano-particle concentration distributions is illustrated graphically and interpreted at length. The major sources of nanoparticle migration in Nanofluids are Thermophoresis and Brownian motion. A suitable agreement with existing published literature is made and an excellent agreement is observed for the limiting case and also validation of solutions with a Nakamura tridiagonal method has been included. It is observed that nanoparticle concentrations on surface decreases with an increase in slip parameter. The study is relevant to enrobing processes for electric-conductive nano-materials, of potential use in aerospace and other industries.
