Effect of Chemical Reaction towards MHD Marginal Layer Movement of Casson Nanofluid through Porous Media above a Moving Plate with an Adaptable Thickness

In the current workflow and heat exchange of a Casson nanoliquid across a penetrable media above a moving plate with variable thermal conductivity, adaptive thickness and chemical reaction are analyzed. First, the governing nonlinear equations of partial derivative terms with proper extreme conditions are changed into equations of ordinary derivative terms with suitable similarity conversions. Then the resulting equations are worked out using the Keller box method. The effects of various appropriate parameters are analyzed by constructing the visual representations of velocity, thermal, and fluid concentration. The velocity profile increased for shape parameter, and the opposite trend is observed for magnetic, Casson, porosity parameters. Temperature profile increases for magnetic, Casson, Brownian motion parameter, and thermophoresis parameters. Concentration profiles show a decreasing trend for wall thickness, Brownian movement, chemical reaction parameters. Also, skin friction values and calculated and matched with previous literature found in accordance. Also, local parameters Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are calculated and analyzed in detail.

Nanofluid Transport through a Complex Wavy Geometry with Magnetic and Permeability Effects

The current article incorporates the numerical investigation of heat exchange rate and skin friction carried out through nanofluid saturated with thermally balanced porous medium over a rough horizontal surface that follows the sinusoidal waves. The effects of the external magnetic field are discussed by managing the magnetic field strength applied normally to the flow pattern. The occurring partial differential governing equations are grasped through a strong numerical scheme of the Keller box method (KBM) against the various parameters. The findings are elaborated through tables and diagrams of velocity, temperature, skin friction, Nusselt number, streamlines, and heat lines. The percentage increase in Nusselt number and coefficient of skin friction over the flat and wavy surface is calculated which leads to the conclusion that the copper (Cu) nanoparticles are better selected as compared to the silver (Ag) for heat transfer enhancement. It is also evident from sketches that the current analysis can be used to enhance the surface drag force by means of nanoparticles. It is a matter of interest that the magnetic field can be used to manage the heat transfer rate in such a complicated surface flow. The current readings have been found accurate and valid when compared with the existing literature.

A brief comparative examination of tangent hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid through a extending surface: numerical Keller–Box scheme

A novel hybrid nanofluid was explored in order to find an efficient heat-transmitting fluid to replace standard fluids and revolutionary nanofluids. By using tangent hyperbolic hybrid combination nanoliquid with non-Newtonian ethylene glycol (EG) as a basis fluid and a copper (Cu) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) mixture, this work aims to investigate the viscoelastic elements of the thermal transferring process. Flow and thermal facts, such as a slippery extended surface with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), suction/injection, form factor, Joule heating, and thermal radiation effects, including changing thermal conductivity, were also integrated. The Keller–Box method was used to perform collective numerical computations of parametric analysis using governing equivalences. In the form of graphs and tables, the results of TiO2–Cu/EG hybrid nanofluid were compared to those of standard Cu/EG nanofluid in important critical physical circumstances. The entropy generation study was used to examine energy balance and usefulness for important physically impacting parameters. Detailed scrutiny on entropy development get assisted with Weissenberg number, magnetic parameter, fractional volumes, injection parameter, thermal radiation, variable thermal conductivity, Biot number, shape variation parameter, Reynolds and Brinkman number. Whereas the entropy gets resisted for slip and suction parameter. In this case, spotted entropy buildup with important parametric ranges could aid future optimization.

Flow and heat transport phenomenon for dynamics of Jeffrey nanofluid past stretchable sheet subject to Lorentz force and dissipation effects

Survey of literature unveils that nanofluids are more efficient for heat transport in comparison to the traditional fluids. However, the enlightenment of developed techniques for the augmentation of heat transport in nanomaterials has considerable gaps and, consequently, an extensive investigation for aforementioned models is vital. The ongoing investigation aims to study the 2-D, incompressible Jeffrey nanofluid heat transference flow due to a stretchable surface. Furthermore, the effect of dispersion of graphene nanoparticles in base liquid ethylene glycol (EG) on the performance of flow and heat transport using the Tawari-Das model in the existence of Ohmic heating (electroconductive heating) and viscous heat dissipation is contemplated. The boundary-layer PDEs are reconstituted as ODEs employing appropriate similarity transformation. Keller-Box Method (KBM) is utilized to determine the numerical findings of the problem. Graphene conducts heat greater in rate than all of the other materials and it is a good conductor of electrical energy. Graphene/EG nanofluid is employed to look out the parametric aspects of heat transport flow, drag coefficient, and heat transference rate phenomena with the aid of graphs and tables. The numerical outcomes indicate that concentration and magnetic field abate the shear stresses for the nanofluid. An increase of Graphene nanoparticle volume fraction parameter can boost the heat transport rate. The effect of Prandtl Number is to slow down the rate of heat transport as well as decelerate the temperature. Additionally, the rate of heat transportation augments on a surface under Deborah's number. Results indicate that the temperature of the graphene-EG nanofluid is greater than the convectional fluid hence graphene-EG nanofluid gets more important in the cooling process, biosensors and drug delivery than conventional fluids.

Further, the thermal efficiency of MoS2–Cu/EO than Cu–EO is between 3.3 and 4.4% The second finding is the addition of entropy is due to the increasing level of radiative flow, nanoparticles size, and Prandtl–Eyring variable.

Magnetohydrodynamic Effects in Mixed Convection of Ferrofluid Flow at Lower Stagnation Point on Horizontal Circular Cylinder

In this paper, mixed convection of ferrofluid containing magnetite, Fe3O4 with ferroparticles suspended in water at the lower stagnation point on a horizontal circular cylinder is investigated. The partial differential equation which derived from the transformation of the dimensional governing equation and non-similarity transformation with the consideration of the effect of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) are solved numerically by using Keller-box method. The influences of an external magnetic field on ferrofluid flow and heat transfer are then discussed. The results showed that the viscosity depends on the ferroparticle volume fraction and ferrofluid temperature. The uniform magnetic field that produced Lorentz force acts as a determiner of the trend of fluid movement and has the tendency to control the cooling rate of the surface.

Modelling and numerical computation for flow of micropolar fluid towards an exponential curved surface: a Keller box method

The numerical analysis of MHD boundary layer non-Newtonian micropolar fluid due to an exponentially curved stretching sheet is developed in this study. In the energy equation effects of viscous dissipation are included. For the mathematical description of the governing equations curvilinear coordinates are used. By utilizing exponential similarity variables, the modelled partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced into ordinary ones. The resultant non-linear ODEs are numerically solved with two methods shooting and Keller box method. The study reveals that the governing parameters, namely, radius of curvature, material parameter, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number and Eckert number have major effects on the fluid velocity, micro-rotation velocity, surface friction, couple stress and heat transfer rate. The results indicate that the magnetic field diminishes the fluid velocity inside the hydrodynamics boundary layer whereas it enhances the temperature inside the thermal boundary layer. Microrotation profile decreases near the surface, as the magnetic parameter and radius of curvature increases but far away behavior is opposite. The material parameter enhances the velocity and microrotation profile whereas, opposite behaviors is noticed for the temperature distribution. Obtained outcomes are also compared with the existing literature and the comparison shows a good agreement with existing studies.
