Applied Mathematical Modelling and Heat Transport Investigation in Hybrid Nanofluids under the Impact of Thermal Radiation: Numerical Analysis

Nanofluids are solid-liquid mixtures that have a dispersion of nanometer-sized particles in conventional base fluids. The flow and heat transmission in an unstable mixed convection boundary layer are affected by the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity uncertainty of a nanofluid over a stretching vertical surface. There is time-dependent stretching velocity and surface temperature instability in both the flow and temperature fields. It is possible to scale the governing partial differential equations and then solve them using ordinary differential equations. Cu and Al2O3 nanofluids based on water are among the possibilities being investigated. An extensive discussion has been done on relevant parameters such as the unsteadiness parameter and the mixed convection parameter's effect on solid volume fraction of nanoparticles. In addition, alternative nanofluid models based on distinct thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity formulas are examined for their flow and heat transmission properties. On the basis of the comparison, it is concluded that the results are spot on for steady state flow.

Sensitivity experiments were made to study the role of the parameterisation schemes of convection, planetary boundary layer and explicit moisture schemes. The model is designed to have three interactive domains with 90, 30 and 10 km horizontal resolutions covering the Bay of Bengal region. The initial fields and time varying boundary variables and sea surface temperatures at 12 hour interval are provided from NCEP FNL data available at 1° resolution. Three groups of experiments were performed to study the sensitivity of the cyclone track prediction and intensification to the schemes of convection, planetary boundary layer and explicit moisture processes. The results indicate that convective processes play an important role in the cyclone track prediction and the scheme of Kain-Fritsch 2 produces the best track and the planetary boundary layer processes control the intensification with the scheme of Mellor-Yamada producing the strongest cyclone. The explicit moisture processes modulate the movement of the cyclone, which may be due to the fine resolution of the 10 km for the innermost domain. The mixed-phase scheme in combination with Kain-Fritsch 2 and Mellor-Yamada produce the best simulation in terms of the track as well as intensification. The ensemble mean of all the conducted experiments estimate the track positions and intensification better than any individual experiment. The simulated cyclone shows all the characteristics of a mature cyclone, with warm core, formation of the eye and eye wall. The model simulated rainfall distribution and intensity have good agreement with the observations.

Duality Solutions in Hydromagnetic Flow of SWCNT-MWCNT/Water Hybrid Nanofluid over Vertical Moving Slender Needle

Recently, the topic of convection of heat transfer has created an interest among researchers because of its numerous applications in the daily life. The objective of this paper was to study theoretically the problem of mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in presence of hydromagnetic effects. The problem was initiated by formulating a mathematical model in partial differential equation (PDE) for the hybrid nanofluid flow with appropriate boundary conditions. The similarity equation was used to transform the PDE into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) and solved using bvp4c in MATLAB. The graphical results on variation of skin friction coefficient, , local Nusselt number, , shear stress, and local heat flux, with the effects of magnetic, size of needle, c, mixed convection parameter, and volume fraction of nanoparticles, were presented and discussed in detail. The study revealed that duality of solutions appears when the buoyance force is in opposing flow of the fluid motion, The presence of M in hybrid nanofluid reduced the skin friction coefficient and heat transfer. On the other hand, the and increased as different concentrations of and c were added. It gives an insight into the medical field, especially in treating cancer cells. By means, it reveals that CNTs hybrid nanofluid shows high potential in reaching the site of tumors faster compared with nanofluid. A stability analysis has to be carried out. It is noticed that the first solution was stable and physically realizable.

Numerical investigation of mixed convection boundary layer flow for nanofluids under quasilinearization technique

The study of boundary layer flow under mixed convection has been investigated numerically for various nanofluids over a semi-infinite flat plate which has been placed vertically upward for both buoyancy-induced assisting and buoyancy-induced opposing flow cases. To facilitate numerical calculations, a suitable transformation has been made for the governing partial differential equations (PDEs). Then, similarity method has been applied locally to approximate the nonlinear PDEs into a coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Then, quasilinearization method has been taken for linearizing the nonlinear terms which are present in the governing equations. Thereafter, implicit trapezoidal rule has been taken for integration numerically along with principle of superposition. The effect of physical parameters which are involved in the study are analyzed on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. This study reveals the presence of dual solutions in case of opposing flow. Further, this study shows that with increasing $$\phi$$ ϕ and Pr, the range of existence of dual solutions becomes wider. Also, it has been noted that nanofluids enhance the process of heat transfer for buoyancy assisting flow and it delays the separation point in case of opposing flow.

Mixed Convection Flow Along Vertical Thin Needles Containing Gyrotactic Microorganism with Variable Heat, Mass and Motile Microorganism Flux

The problem of steady laminar mixed convection boundary layer flow along vertical thin needle with variable surface heat, mass and motile microorganism flux in the presence of gyrotactic microorganism is considered in this study. The dimensionless leading equations of continuity, momentum, concentraton and motile microorganism conservation are reduced to ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformations. The transformed governing equations are then numerically solved by using MATLAB BVP4C function. The research is reached to excellent argument by comparison in few cases between the results obtained from MATLAB and Maple algorithm with the help of dsolve command. Numerical calculations are carried out for various values of the dimensionless parameters of the problem which includes mixed convection parameter λ, power law index m, buoyancy parameters N1, N2 Lewis parameter Le, bioconvection lewis parameter Lb, Bioconvection peclet number Pe and also the parameter a representing the needle size. It is also shown from the results that the surface (wall) temperature, surface fluid concentration, surface motile microorganism concentration and the corresponding velocity, temperature, concentration and motile microorganism profiles are significantly induced by these parameters. The results are pictured and discussed in detail.

Thermal radiation effect on unsteady mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluid over permeable stretching surface through porous medium in the presence of heat generation

Here, we study the effect of mixed convection and thermal radiation on unsteady boundary layer of heat transfer and nanofluid flow over permeable moving surface through a porous medium. The effect of heat generation is also discussed. The equations governing the system are the continuity equation, momentum equation and the heat transfer equation. These governing equations transformed into a system of nondimensional equations contain many physical parameters that describe the study. The transformed equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference technique with Newton's linearization method. The thermo-physical parameters describe the study are the mixed convection parameter α, [Formula: see text], the Radiation parameter Rd, [Formula: see text] , porous medium parameter k, [Formula: see text], the nanoparticles volume [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text], the suction or injection parameter fw, [Formula: see text], the unsteadiness parameter At, [Formula: see text] and the heat source parameter λ = 0.5 .The influence of the thermo-physical parameters is obtained analytically and displayed graphically. Comparisons of some special cases of the present study are performed with previously published studies and a good agreement is obtained.
