Mathematical Analysis of Magnetized Rotating Nanofluid Flow Over nonlinear shrinking surface: Duality and Stability

In this study, the MHD effect on boundary layer rotating flow of a nanofluid is investigated for the multiple branches case. The main focus of current research is to examine flow characteristics on a nonlinear permeable shrinking sheet. Moreover, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of the problem considered are reduced into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the appropriate similarity transformation. Numerical results based on the plotted graphs are gotten by solving ODEs with help of the three-stage Labatto IIIA method in bvp4c solver in MATLAB. To confirm numerical outcomes, current results are compared with previously available outcomes and found in good agreement. Skin friction coefficients, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, velocity profiles, temperature profiles, and concentration profiles are examined. The results show that dual (no) branches exist in certain ranges of the suction parameter i.e., SSc (SSc). Further, profiles of velocity decrease for rising values of Hartmann number in the upper branch, while reverse trend has been noticed in a lower branch. Profiles of temperature and concentration enhance for the increasing values of thermophoresis in both branches. stability analysis of the branches is also done and noticed that upper branch is a stable branch from both branches. Finally, it is noted that the stable branch has symmetrical behavior with regard to the parameter of rotation.

Rotating Flow in a Nanofluid with CNT Nanoparticles over a Stretching/Shrinking Surface

The steady three-dimensional rotating flow past a stretching/shrinking surface in water and kerosene-based nanofluids containing single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is investigated. The governing equations are converted to similarity equations, and then numerically solved using MATLAB software. The impacts of rotational, suction, and nanoparticle volume fraction on the flow and the thermal fields, as well as velocity and temperature gradients at the surface, are represented graphically and are analyzed. Further, the friction factor and the heat transfer rate for different parameters are presented in tables. It is found that the heat transfer rate increases with increasing nanoparticle volume fraction as well as suction parameter in water and kerosene-based nanofluids of single and multi-walled CNTs. However, the increment in the rotating flow parameter decreases the rate of heat transfer. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes and kerosene-based nanofluid contribute to heat transfer rates better than single-walled carbon nanotubes and water-based nanofluid, respectively. A unique solution exists for the stretching surface, while two solutions are obtained for the shrinking surface. Further analysis of their stabilities shows that only one of them is stable over time.

MHD Stagnation Point on Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer of Carbon Nanotube over a Shrinking Surface with Heat Sink Effect

This study is to investigate the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow and heat transfer characteristic nanofluid of carbon nanotube (CNTs) over the shrinking surface with heat sink effects. Similarity equations deduced from momentum and energy equation of partial differential equations are solved numerically. This study looks at the different parameters of the flow and heat transfer using first phase model which is Tiwari-Das. The parameter discussed were volume fraction nanoparticle, magnetic parameter, heat sink/source parameters, and a different type of nanofluid and based fluids. Present results revealed that the rate of nanofluid (SWCNT/kerosene) in terms of flow and heat transfer is better than (MWCNT/kerosene) and (CNT/water) and regular fluid (water). Graphically, the variation results of dual solution exist for shrinking parameter in range λc<λ≤−1 for different values of volume fraction nanoparticle, magnetic, heat sink parameters, and a different type of nanofluid. However, a unique solution exists at −1<λ<1, and no solutions exist at λ<λc which is a critical value. In addition, the local Nusselt number decreases with increasing volume fraction nanoparticle when there exists a heat sink effect. The values of the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number increase for both solutions with the increase in magnetic parameter. In this study, the investigation on the flow and heat transfer of MHD stagnation point nanofluid through a shrinking surface with heat sink effect shows how important the application to industrial applications.

Influence of a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium on the flow of a radiative magnetized rotating hybrid nanofluid over a shrinking surface

In this paper, the heat transfer properties in the three-dimensional (3D) magnetized with the Darcy-Forchheimer flow over a shrinking surface of the $$Cu + Al_{2} O_{3} /$$ C u + A l 2 O 3 / water hybrid nanofluid with radiation effect were studied. Valid linear similarity variables convert the partial differential equations (PDEs) into the ordinary differential equations (ODEs). With the help of the shootlib function in the Maple software, the generalized model in the form of ODEs is numerically solved by the shooting method. Shooting method can produce non-unique solutions when correct initial assumptions are suggested. The findings are found to have two solutions, thereby contributing to the introduction of a stability analysis that validates the attainability of first solution. Stability analysis is performed by employing if bvp4c method in MATLAB software. The results show limitless values of dual solutions at many calculated parameters allowing the turning points and essential values to not exist. Results reveal that the presence of dual solutions relies on the values of the porosity, coefficient of inertia, magnetic, and suction parameters for the specific values of the other applied parameters. Moreover, it has been noted that dual solutions exist in the ranges of $$F_{s} \le F_{sc}$$ F s ≤ F sc , $$M \ge M_{C}$$ M ≥ M C ,$$S \ge S_{C} ,$$ S ≥ S C , and $$K_{C} \le K$$ K C ≤ K whereas no solution exists in the ranges of $$F_{s} > F_{sc}$$ F s > F sc , $$M < M_{c}$$ M < M c , $$S < S_{c}$$ S < S c , and $$K_{C} > K$$ K C > K . Further, a reduction in the rate of heat transfer is noticed with a rise in the parameter of the copper solid volume fraction.

Flow and Heat Transfer Past a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet Using Modified Buongiorno Nanoliquid Model

This paper studies the boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics past a permeable isothermal stretching/shrinking surface using both nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid flows (called modified Buongiorno nonliquid model). Using appropriate similarity variables, the PDEs are transformed into ODEs to be solved numerically using the function bvp4c from MATLAB. It was found that the solutions of the resulting system have two branches, upper and lower branch solutions, in a certain range of the suction, stretching/shrinking and hybrid nanofluids parameters. Both the analytic and numerical results are obtained for the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, and velocity and temperature distributions, for several values of the governing parameters. It results in the governing parameters considerably affecting the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

Unsteady Convective MHD Flow and Heat Transfer of a Viscous Nanofluid across a Porous Stretching/Shrinking Surface: Existence of Multiple Solutions

The suspension of tiny solid particles inside the energy transport liquids could enhance their thermal conductivity as well as provide an efficient and inventive approach to significantly improve their properties of heat transport. Therefore, our aim is to explore the radiative two-dimensional unsteady flow of a viscous nanofluid about an aligned magnetic field that includes the joint effect of suction, velocity slip, and heat source across a porous convective stretching/shrinking surface. Initially, using non-dimensional variables, the nonlinear governing partial differential equations (PDEs) were transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which were subsequently solved with the help of bvp4c built-in package in MATLAB. The results declare that escalating the values of the unsteadiness parameter escalates the friction drag whereas it reduces with the escalation of the slip parameter. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate escalates with the escalation of radiation and concentration parameter, and the escalation of the heat source parameter causes to reduce the heat transfer rate. Finally, it is found that the rate of heat transfer and friction drag continuously improve and decline against the rising rates of stretching, respectively.
