This paper investigates the two-dimensional and incompressible flow of viscoelastic nano-liquid dynamic and axisymmetric sprayed thin film deposit on a stretched cylinder. It also looked at how activation energy and entropy evaluation affected mass and heat flow. The governing equations are transformed into nonlinear differential equations using similarity transformation techniques, which are then resolved successively using a strong semi-analytical homotopy analysis method (HAM). The velocity decreases as the magnetic field strength and viscoelastic parameters are increased. The temperature rises as the Brownian motion parameter increases, while it falls as the Prandtl number, film thickness parameter, and thermophoresis parameter increase. The greater the Reynolds number and the activation energy parameter, the higher the concentration of nanoparticles. The film size increases nonlinearly with the spray rate. Entropy generation increases as the Brinkmann number, magnetic field, and thermal radiation parameters increase. A nearby agreement is signed after comparing the current investigation with published results. The results obtained, possibly under ideal conditions, could be useful for determining and architecting coating applications.

The resistive properties and activation energy of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-ρ ( YBCO ) superconducting materials change in magnetic field. It is explained that magnetoresistive behavior in terms of the presence of two-dimensional vortices being pinned effectively when they are perpendicular to the CuO 2 planes and an exponential behavior of the activation energy versus the applied field was obtained. The resulting activation energies ranging from 1 to 5 Tesla were attributed to inter-granular flux creep process.

The boundary-layer equations for mass and heat energy transfer with entropy generation are analyzed for the two-dimensional viscoelastic second-grade nanofluid thin film flow in the presence of a uniform magnetic field (MHD) over a vertical stretching sheet. Different factors, such as the thermophoresis effect, Brownian motion, and concentration gradients, are considered in the nanofluid model. The basic time-dependent equations of the nanofluid flow are modeled and transformed to the ordinary differential equations system by using similarity variables. Then the reduced system of equations is treated with the Homotopy Analysis Method to achieve the desire goal. The convergence of the method is prescribed by a numerical survey. The results obtained are more efficient than the available results for the boundary-layer equations, which is the beauty of the Homotopy Analysis Method, and shows the consistency, reliability, and accuracy of our obtained results. The effects of various parameters, such as Nusselt number, skin friction, and Sherwood number, on nanoliquid film flow are examined. Tables are displayed for skin friction, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number, which analyze the sheet surface in interaction with the nanofluid flow and other informative characteristics regarding this flow of the nanofluids. The behavior of the local Nusselt number and the entropy generation is examined numerically with the variations in the non-dimensional numbers. These results are shown with the help of graphs and briefly explained in the discussion. An analytical exploration is described for the unsteadiness parameter on the thin film. The larger values of the unsteadiness parameter increase the velocity profile. The nanofluid film velocity shows decline due the increasing values of the magnetic parameter. Moreover, a survey on the physical embedded parameters is given by graphs and discussed in detail.

Abstract This analysis presents the applications of entropy generation phenomenon in incompressible flow of Jeffrey nanofluid in presence of distinct thermal features. The novel aspects of various features like Joule heating, porous medium, dissipation features and radiative mechanism is addressed. In order to improve the thermal transportation systems based on nanomaterials, the convective boundary conditions are introduced. The thermal viscoelastic nanofluid model is expressed in term of differential equations. The problem is presented via nonlinear differential equations for which analytical expressions are obtained by using homotopy analysis method(HAM). The accuracy of solution is ensured. The effective outcomes of all physical parameters associated with the flow model are carefully examined and underlined through various curves. The observations summarized from current analysis reveal that presence of permeability parameter offers resistance to the flow. A monotonic decrement in local Nusselt number is noted with Hartmann number and Prandtl number. Moreover, entropy generation and Bejan number increases with radiation parameter and fluid parameter.

Abstract The dynamics of partially ionized fluid flow subjected to the magnetic field are altogether distinct in comparison to the flow of natural fluids. Fewer studies are available in the literature discussing the alluring characteristics of the Hall effect and the Ion slip in nanofluid flows. Nevertheless, the flow of nanofluid flow with Hall and Ion slip effect integrated with activation energy, gyrotactic microorganisms, and Cattaneo–Christov heat flux is still scarce. To fill in this gap, our aim here is to examine the three dimensional electrically conducting Tangent hyperbolic bioconvective nanofluid flow with Hall and Ion slip under the influence of magnetic field and heat transmission phenomenon past a stretching sheet. Impacts of Cattaneo–Christov heat flux, Arrhenius activation energy, and chemical reaction are also considered here. For the conversion of a non-linear system to an ordinary one, pertinent transformations procedure is implemented. By using the bvp4c MATLAB function, these equations with the boundary conditions are worked out numerically. The significant impacts of prominent parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are investigated through graphical illustrations. The results show that the velocity of the fluid is enhanced once the Ion slip and Hall parameters values are improved. Furthermore, the concentration is improved when the values of the activation energy parameter are enhanced.

The thermodynamics of a Carreau nanoliquid thin film embedded with graphene nanoparticles past a stretching sheet is studied in the presence of inclined magnetic field and non-uniform heat source/sink. Graphene is a new two-dimensional amphiphilic macromolecule which has great applications due to its electrical and mechanical properties. The basic constitutive equations of Carreau nanoliquid for velocity and temperature have been used. Similarity transformations are adopted to achieve the nonlinear coupled differential equations accompanying boundary conditions embedded with different parameters. HAM (Homotopy Analysis Method) is used to solve the transformed equations for expressions of velocity and temperature. Graphs are shown which illustrate the effects of various parameters of interest. There exists a nice agreement between the present and published results. The results are useful for the thermal conductivity and in the analysis and design of coating processes.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the entropy generation and heat and mass transfer of carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) nanofluid by considering the applied magnetic field under the influence of thermal radiation, variable thermal conductivity, variable mass diffusivity, and binary chemical reaction with activation energy over a linearly stretching cylinder. Convective boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer are considered. An isothermal model of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions is used to regulate the solute concentration profile. It is assumed that the water-based nanofluid is composed of single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Employing a suitable set of similarity transformations, the system of partial differential equations is transformed into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations before being solved numerically. Through the implementation of the second law of thermodynamics, the total entropy generation is calculated. In addition, entropy generation for fluid friction, mass transfer, and heat transfer is discussed. This study is specially investigated for the impact of the chemical reaction, and activation energy with entropy generation subject to distinct flow parameters. It is found that the slip parameters greatly influence the flow characteristics. Fluid temperature is elevated with higher radiation parameters and thermal Biot number. Entropy and Bejan number are found to be an increasing function of solid volume fraction, magnetic field, and curvature parameters. Binary chemical reaction and activation energy on concentration profile have opposite effects.
