The present paper deals with the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid at an exponentially stretching permeable surface. The Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior, due to its various practical applications. With the help of similarity transformations the governing partial differential equations corresponding to the continuity, momentum, and energy equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and numerical solutions to these equations are obtained. Furthermore, in some specific parameter regimes, analytical solutions are found. It is observed that the effect of increasing values of the Casson parameter is to decrease the velocity field while enhancing the temperature field. Furthermore, it is observed that the effect of the increasing values of the suction parameter is to increase the skin-friction coefficient.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse numerically the steady stagnation-point flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid over continuously non-aligned stretching or shrinking surface in its own plane in a water-based nanofluid which contains three different types of nanoparticles, namely, Cu, Al2O3 and TiO2. Design/methodology/approach – Similarity transformation is used to convert the system of boundary layer equations which are in the form of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The system of similarity governing equations is then reduced to a system of first-order differential equations and solved numerically using the bvp4c function in Matlab software. Findings – Unique solution exists when the surface is stretched and dual solutions exist as the surface shrunk. For the dual solutions, stability analysis has revealed that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and physically realizable, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable. The effect of non-alignment is huge for the shrinking surface which is in contrast with the stretching surface. Practical implications – The results obtained can be used to explain the characteristics and applications of nanofluids, which are widely used as coolants, lubricants, heat exchangers and micro-channel heat sinks. This problem also applies to some situations such as materials which are manufactured by extrusion, production of glass-fibre and shrinking balloon. In this kind of circumstance, the rate of cooling and the stretching/shrinking process play an important role in moulding the final product according to preferable features. Originality/value – The present results are original and new for the study of fluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking surface for the problem considered by Wang (2008) in a viscous fluid and extends to nanofluid by using the Tiwari and Das (2007) model.

Flow And Heat Transfer

Abstract The boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid over a nonlinear permeable shrinking sheet in a thermally stratified environment is considered. The sheet is assumed to shrink in its own plane with an arbitrary power-law velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation point. The governing differential equations are first transformed into ordinary differential equations by introducing a new similarity transformation. This is different from the transform commonly used in the literature in that it permits numerical solutions even for asymptotically large values of the power-law index, m. The coupled non-linear boundary value problem is solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme known as the Keller- Box method. Numerical computations are performed for a wide variety of power-law parameters (1 < m < 100,000) so as to capture the effects of the thermally stratified environment on the velocity and temperature fields. The numerical solutions are presented through a number of graphs and tables. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number are tabulated for various values of the pertinent parameters.

The focus of the present paper is to analyze the shape effect of gold (Au) nanoparticles on squeezing nanofluid flow and heat transfer between parallel plates. The different shapes of nanoparticles, namely, column, sphere, hexahedron, tetrahedron, and lamina, have been examined using water as base fluid. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by suitable transformations. As a result, nonlinear boundary value ordinary differential equations are tackled analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and convergence of the series solution is ensured. The effects of various parameters such as solid volume fraction, thermal radiation, Reynolds number, magnetic field, Eckert number, suction parameter, and shape factor on velocity and temperature profiles are plotted in graphical form. For various values of involved parameters, Nusselt number is analyzed in graphical form. The obtained results demonstrate that the rate of heat transfer is maximum for lamina shape nanoparticles and the sphere shape of nanoparticles has performed a considerable role in temperature distribution as compared to other shapes of nanoparticles.

AbstractIn this paper, we extend the results in the literature for boundary layer flow over a horizontal plate, by considering the buoyancy force term in the momentum equation. Using a similarity transformation, we transform the partial differential equations of the problem into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We first analyse several special cases dealing with the properties of the exact and approximate solutions. Then, for the general problem, we construct series solutions for arbitrary values of the physical parameters. Furthermore, we obtain numerical solutions for several sets of values of the parameters. The numerical results thus obtained are presented through graphs and tables and the effects of the physical parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed. The results obtained reveal many interesting behaviours that warrant further study of the equations related to non-Newtonian fluid phenomena, especially the shear-thinning phenomena. Shear thinning reduces the wall shear stress.

The dual solutions in the boundary layer flow and heat transfer in the presence of thermal radiation is quantitatively studied. The governing partial differential equations are derived into a system of ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, and afterward numerical solution obtained by a shooting technique. Dual solutions execute within a certain range of opposing and assisting flow which related to these numerical solutions. The similarity equations have two branches, upper or lower branch solutions, within a certain range of the mixed convection parameters. Further numerical results exist in our observations which enable to discuss the features of the respective solutions.

In this research, the problem of magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer over an exponentially stretching/shrinking sheet in ferrofluids is presented. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying suitable similarity transformations. These equations are then solved numerically using the shooting method for some pertinent parameters. For this research, the water-based ferrofluid is considered with three types of ferroparticles: magnetite, cobalt ferrite, and manganese-zinc ferrite. The numerical solutions on the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, velocity and temperature profiles influenced by the magnetic parameter, wall mass transfer parameter, stretching/shrinking parameter, and volume fraction of solid ferroparticle are graphically displayed and discussed in more details. The existences of dual solutions are noticeable for the stretching/shrinking case in a specific range of limit. For the first solution, an increasing number in magnetic and suction will also give an increment of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number over stretching/shrinking sheet. For the skin friction coefficient only, it is showed a decreasing pattern after the intersection. Besides, the presence of ferroparticles in the fluids causes a high number of the fluid’s thermal conductivity and heat transfer rate.

Casson Fluid Model

The steady MHD boundary layer flow near the stagnation point over a stretching surface in the presence of the induced magnetic field, viscous dissipation, magnetic dissipation, slip velocity phenomenon, and heat generation/absorption effects has been investigated numerically. The Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. The governing partial differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using a shooting method with fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Comparisons with the earlier results have been made and good agreements were found. Numerical results for the velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number are presented through graphs and tables for various values of physical parameters. Results predicted that the magnetic parameter with α<1 has the tendency to enhance the heat transfer rate, whereas the reverse trend is seen with α>1. It is also noticed that the rate of heat transfer is a decreasing function of the reciprocal of a magnetic Prandtl number, whereas the opposite phenomenon occurs with the magnitude of the friction factor.

The present research work scrutinizes numerical heat transfer in convective boundary layer flow having characteristics of magnetic ( Fe 3 O 4 ) and nonmagnetic ( Al 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles synthesized into two different kinds of Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (sodium alginate) convectional base fluids of casson nanofluid which integrates the captivating effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and magnetic field embedded in a porous medium. The characterization of electrically transmitted viscous incompressible fluid is taken into account within the Casson fluid model. The mathematical formulation of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) with highly nonlinearity is renovated into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by utilizing the suitable similarity transform that constitutes nondimensional pertinent parameters. The transformed ODEs are tackled numerically by implementing b v p 4 c in MATLAB. A graphical illustration for the purpose of better numerical computations of flow regime is deliberated for the specified parameters corresponding to different profiles (velocity and temperature). To elaborate the behavior of Nusselt and skin friction factor, a tabular demonstration against the distinct specific parameters is analyzed. It is perceived that the velocity gradient of Newtonian fluids is much higher comparatively to non-newtonian fluids. On the contrary, the thermal gradient of non-Newtonian fluid becomes more condensed than that of Newtonian fluids. Graphical demonstration disclosed that the heat transfer analysis in non-Newtonian (sodium alginate)-based fluid is tremendously influenced comparatively to Newtonian (water)-based fluid, and radiation interacts with the highly denser temperature profile of non-Newtonian fluid in contrast to that of Newtonian fluid. Through such comparative analysis of magnetic or nonmagnetic nanoparticles synthesized into distinct base fluids, a considerable enhancement in thermal and heat transfer analysis is quite significant in many expanding engineering and industrial phenomenons.

A numerical analysis has been carried out to describe the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid over an exponentially stretching surface in the presence of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation/absorption. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 45 method. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for both PEST and PEHF cases. The numerical results are compared with the earlier study and found to be in excellent agreement. Some important features of the flow and heat transfer in terms of velocities and temperature distributions for different values of the governing parameters like fluid-particle interaction parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Number density, heat source/sink parameter, and suction parameter which are of physical and engineering interests are analyzed, discussed, and presented through tables and graphs.
