EMHD hybrid squeezing nanofluid flow with variable features and irreversibility analysis

This study discusses the entropy generation analysis of electro-magneto hydrodynamics (EMHD) hybrid nanofluid copper oxide-aluminum oxide/ethylene glycol (CuO-Al2O3/C2H6O2) flow amidst two rotating disks in a porous media having variable thermophysical features. The addition of the surface catalyzed to the homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions shorten the reaction time that may be taken as a novel aspect of the undertaken EMHD hybrid nanofluid squeezing flow. The inimitability of the assumed model is supplemented by considering the simultaneous effects of the variable thermal conductivity and viscosity. To simplify the governing flow model, suitable conversions are used to accurately translate the obtained partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. The flow and energy transfer characteristics are computed and sketched graphically by using the Keller box scheme. The outcomes reveal that the drag force in radial and tangential directions depict the opposing trend for variable viscosity parameter. Furthermore, the normal magnetic and transverse electric fields play an essential role in the alignment of the nanoparticles throughout the flow field. The validation of the envisaged model is also a part of this study.

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.

Implicit Finite Difference Simulation of Prandtl-Eyring Nanofluid over a Flat Plate with Variable Thermal Conductivity: A Tiwari and Das Model

The current article presents the entropy formation and heat transfer of the steady Prandtl-Eyring nanofluids (P-ENF). Heat transfer and flow of P-ENF are analyzed when nanofluid is passed to the hot and slippery surface. The study also investigates the effects of radiative heat flux, variable thermal conductivity, the material’s porosity, and the morphologies of nano-solid particles. Flow equations are defined utilizing partial differential equations (PDEs). Necessary transformations are employed to convert the formulae into ordinary differential equations. The implicit finite difference method (I-FDM) is used to find approximate solutions to ordinary differential equations. Two types of nano-solid particles, aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and copper (Cu), are examined using engine oil (EO) as working fluid. Graphical plots are used to depict the crucial outcomes regarding drag force, entropy measurement, temperature, Nusselt number, and flow. According to the study, there is a solid and aggressive increase in the heat transfer rate of P-ENF Cu-EO than Al2O3-EO. An increment in the size of nanoparticles resulted in enhancing the entropy of the model. The Prandtl-Eyring parameter and modified radiative flow show the same impact on the radiative field.

The main objective of the present article is to provide an analytical simulation for time dependent boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian Williamson fluid due to stretchable curved oscillatory Riga surface. Also the characteristics of heat and mass transport are studied under the influence of variable thermal conductivity and diffusivity along with convective heat and mass boundary conditions.

Also the outcomes of afore said variables on surface drag force, rate of temperature and mass transmission (Nusselt and Sherwood numbers) are shown in tabular form. The liquid velocity amplitude is enhanced with modified magnetic parameter and shows opposite behavior for Williamson fluid parameter.

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.

Effects of variable thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity on flow of williamson nanofluid between two parallel disks

The variable nature of the thermal conductivity of nanofluid with respect to temperature plays an important role in many engineering and industrial applications including solar collectors and thermoelectricity. Thus, the foremost motivation of this article is to investigate the effects of thermal conductivity and electric conductivity due to variable temperature on the flow of Williamson nanofluid. The flow is considered between two stretchable rotating disks. The mathematical modeling and analysis have been made in the presence of magnetohydrodynamic and thermal radiation. The governing differential equations of the problem are transformed into non-dimensional differential equations by using similarity transformations. The transformed differential equations are thus solved by a finite difference method. The behaviors of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles due to various parameters are discussed. For magnetic parameter, the radial and tangential velocities have showed decreasing behavior, while converse behavior is observed for axial velocity. The temperature profile shows increasing behavior due to an increase in the Weissenberg number, heat generation parameter and Eckert number, while it declines by increasing electric conductivity parameter. The nanoparticle concentration profile declines due to an increase in the Lewis number and Reynolds number.
