The current analysis aims to exhibit the nanoparticles of Al2O3 + Cu-water hybrid nanofluid flow for Darcy–Forchheimer with heterogeneous–homogeneous chemical reactions and magnetic field aspects past a stretching or shrinking cylinder with Joule heating. This paper performed not only with the hybrid nanofluid but also the shape of Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles. The model of single-phase hybrid nanofluid due to thermophysical features is utilized for the mathematical formulation. In the present exploration equal diffusions factors for reactants and auto catalyst are instituted. The system of governing equations has been simplified by invoking the similarity transformation. The numerical computations are invoked due to the function bvp4c of Matlab, with high non-linearity. Numerical outcomes illustrated that; sphere shape nanoparticles presented dramatic performance on heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid movement; an opposite behavior is noticed with lamina shape. The local Nusselt number strengthens as the transverse curvature factor becomes larger. In addition, the homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions factors lead to weaken concentration fluctuation.

Several materials, such as aluminum and copper, exhibit non-Newtonian rheological behaviors. Aluminum and copper nanoparticles are ideal for wiring power grids, including overhead power transmission lines and local power distribution lines, because they provide a better conductivity-to-weight ratio than bulk copper; they are also some of the most common materials used in electrical applications. Therefore, the current investigation inspected the flow characteristics of homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions in a hybrid nanofluid flowing over a rotating disc. The velocity slip condition was examined. The energy equation was developed by employing the first law of thermodynamics. Mixed convection thermal radiation and the convective condition effect were addressed. The dimensionless governing models were solved to give the best possible investigative solution using the fourth- and fifth-order Runge–Kutta–Felhberg numerical method. The effects of different influential variables on the velocity and temperature were scrutinized graphically. The effects of the variation of various sundry parameters on the friction factor and Nusselt numbers were also analyzed. The results revealed that the velocity gradient increased significantly for augmented values of the mixed convection parameter. Here, the velocity gradient increased more rapidly for a hybrid nanoliquid than for a nanofluid. The thermal distribution was enhanced due to a significantly increased radiation parameter.

The flow-through various disk movement has wide range of applications in manufacturing processes like, computer storage equipment’s, rotating machines, electronic and various types of medical equipment’s. Inspired from these applications, here we scrutinised the consequences of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and uniform heat source/sink on the three-dimensional (3D) hybrid SWCNT-MWCNT’s flow on time dependent moving upward/downward rotating disk. The renowned innovation of this paper is the application of the hybrid nanofluid made up of SWCNT and MWCNT’s. Heat generation/absorption effect for the disk that does not move up or down creates a dual flow on the disk. Alternatively, the rotation and upright motion of the disk creates a 3D flow on the surface which has not been considered in the open literature. The modelled PDE’s are reduced in to ODE’s by opting suitable similarity variables and boundary constraints. Here, we used RKF-45 method to obtain the numerical approximations by adopting shooting technique. The analysis of rate of heat transfer is done through graphs. Further, change in velocity, thermal and concentration profiles for various non-dimensional parameters are deliberated briefly and illustrated with the help of suitable plots. The results reveal that, the, rise in values of homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction parameters improve the rate of reaction which results in reduction of the distribution rate and diminishes the concentration gradient. An increase in expansion/contraction parameter enhances the velocity and thermal gradients.

In this study, an experimentally validated computational model was developed to investigate the hydrodynamics in a rotor-stator vortex agglomeration reactor RVR having a rotating disc at the centre with two shrouded outer plates. A numerical simulation was performed using a simplified form of the reactor geometry to compute the 3-D flow field in batch mode operations. Thereafter, the model was validated using data from a 2-D Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow analysis performed during the design of the reactor. Using different operating speeds, namely 70, 90, 110, and 130 rpm, the flow fields were computed numerically, followed by a comprehensive data analysis. The simulation results showed separated boundary layers on the rotating disc and the stator. The flow field within the reactor was characterized by a rotational plane circular forced vortex flow, in which the streamlines are concentric circles with a rotational vortex. Overall, the results of the numerical simulation demonstrated a fairly good agreement between the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model and the experimental data, as well as the available theoretical predictions. The swirl ratio β was found to be approximately 0.4044, 0.4038, 0.4044, and 0.4043 for the operating speeds of N = 70, 90, 110, and 130 rpm, respectively. In terms of the spatial distribution, the turbulence intensity and kinetic energy were concentrated on the outer region of the reactor, while the circumferential velocity showed a decreasing intensity towards the shroud. However, a comparison of the CFD and experimental predictions of the tangential velocity and the vorticity amplitude profiles showed that these parameters were under-predicted by the experimental analysis, which could be attributed to some of the experimental limitations rather than the robustness of the CFD model or numerical code.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of thermal radiation and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions in the three-dimensional hybrid nanofluid flow past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. Design/methodology/approach The combination of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles with total volumetric concentration is numerically analyzed using the existing correlations of hybrid nanofluid. With the consideration that both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions are isothermal while the diffusion coefficients of both autocatalyst and reactant are same, the governing model is simplified into a set of differential (similarity) equations. Findings Using the bvp4c solver, dual solutions are presented, and the stability analysis certifies the physical/real solution. The findings show that the suction parameter is requisite to induce the steady solution for shrinking parameter. Besides, the fluid concentration owing to the shrinking sheet is diminished with the addition of surface reaction. Originality/value The present findings are novel and can be a reference point to other researchers to further analyze the heat transfer performance and stability of the working fluids.
