Squeezed Flow

Abstract This study explores the flow of magnetized nanomaterials between two parallel disks. Novel aspects of activation energy and nonlinear thermal radiation characterized the heat and mass transfer. Nonlinear system of ODEs is obtained via proper variables. Homotopic scheme determines the convergence interval of governing expressions. Plots have been interpreted in order to examine how the temperature and concentration are influenced by various physical variables. Further, surface drag forces and heat and mass transfer rates are computed numerically and analyzed. Our computed analysis depicts that the influence of squeezed and magnetic parameters have reverse effects on temperature.

The flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluids has an extensive range of applications in oceanography, the cooling of metallic plates, melt-spinning, the movement of biological fluids, heat exchangers technology, coating and suspensions. In view of these applications, we studied the steady Marangoni driven boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of a nanofluid. A non-Newtonian second-grade liquid model is used to deliberate the effect of activation energy on the chemically reactive non-Newtonian nanofluid. By applying suitable similarity transformations, the system of governing equations is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations. These reduced equations are tackled numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-fifth order (RKF-45) method. The velocity, concentration, thermal fields and rate of heat transfer are explored for the embedded non-dimensional parameters graphically. Our results revealed that the escalating values of the Marangoni number improve the velocity gradient and reduce the heat transfer. As the values of the porosity parameter increase, the velocity gradient is reduced and the heat transfer is improved. Finally, the Nusselt number is found to decline as the porosity parameter increases.

Rheology of MHD bioconvective nanofluid containing motile microorganisms is inspected numerically in order to analyze heat and mass transfer characteristics. Bioconvection is implemented by combined effects of magnetic field and buoyancy force. Gyrotactic microorganisms enhance the heat and transfer as well as perk up the nanomaterials’ stability. Variable transport properties along with assisting and opposing flow situations are taken into account. The significant influences of thermophoresis and Brownian motion have also been taken by employing Buongiorno’s model of nanofluid. Lie group analysis approach is utilized in order to compute the absolute invariants for the system of differential equations, which are solved numerically using Adams-Bashforth technique. Validity of results is confirmed by performing error analysis. Graphical and numerical illustrations are prepared in order to get the physical insight of the considered analysis. It is observed that for controlling parameters corresponding to variable transport properties c2, c4, c6, and c8, the velocity, temperature, concentration, and bioconvection density distributions accelerates, respectively. While heat and mass transfer rates increases for convection parameter and bioconvection Rayleigh number, respectively.

Abstract The present work numerically investigates the mass and heat transport flow of micropolar fluid in a channel having permeable walls. The appropriate boundary layer approximations are used to convert the system of flow model equations in ODEs, which are then numerically treated with the quasi-linearization method along with finite difference discretization. This technique creates an efficient way to solve the complex dynamical system of equations. A numerical data comparison is presented which assures the accuracy of our code. The outcomes of various problem parameters are portrayed via the graphs and tables. The concentration and temperature accelerate with the impacts of the Peclet numbers for the diffusion of mass and heat, respectively. It is also found that the porosity of the medium has a substantial effect on the skin friction but low effect on the heat and mass transfer rates. Our results may be beneficial in lubrication, foams and aerogels, micro emulsions, micro machines, polymer blends, alloys, etc.

Frost formation degrades the performance of heat exchangers greatly, thus influencing the cryogenic refrigerator. Different from frost formation on the evaporator surface, the growth and migration of frost layer inside the heat exchanger is of low temperature and humidity. In addition to the constantly changing boundary conditions, the effective prediction is difficult. In the present study, a numerical model was proposed to analyze the frost formation in the cryogenic heat exchanger of a reverse Brayton air refrigerator. Under small amounts of moisture, the growing of frost layer was simulated through the numerical heat and mass transfer by adopting semiempirical correlations. The frost formation model was inserted into the transient model of refrigerator, and numerical calculations were performed on heat and mass transfer rates, and growth and migration of frost layers in forced convection conditions. Experiments were conducted under different air humidity to investigate the frost formation and verify the numerical model. Through the model, the influences of frosting on the refrigerator were evaluated under different moisture contents and running time. It can be used to predict the performance of air refrigerators with low humidity and provide a basis for improving the system operation and efficiency.

The present paper concentrates on the second-order slip flow over a moving thin needle in a nanofluid. The combined effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are considered to describe the heat and mass transfer performance of nanofluid. The resulting system of equations are obtained using similarity transformations and being executed in MATLAB software via bvp4c solver. The physical characteristics of embedded parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, coefficient of skin friction, heat and mass transfer rates are demonstrated through a graphical approach and are discussed in detail. The obtained outcomes are validated with the existing works and are found to be in good agreement. It is shown that, for a specific domain of moving parameter, dual solutions are likely to exist. The stability analysis is performed to identify the stability of the solutions gained, and it is revealed that only one of them is numerically stable. The analysis indicated that the percentage of increment in the heat and mass transfer rates from no-slip to slip condition for both thin and thick surfaces of the needle ( a = 0.1 and a = 0.2 ) are 10.77 % and 12.56 % , respectively. Moreover, the symmetric behavior is noted for the graphs of reduced heat and mass transfer when the parameters N b and N t are the same.

Double Diffusive

Unsteady three-dimensional (3D) double diffusive convection in tilted enclosure having a parallelepipedic shape has been analyzed numerically. The governing unsteady, 3D flow, energy and concentration transport equations, have been solved using an accelerated multigrid implicit volume method. Main attention was paid to the effects of the Rayleigh number Ra , buoyancy ratio N and the inclination angle γ of the cavity on the flow structure and heat and mass transfer rates. Typical distributions of velocity contours, temperature and concentration fields in wide range of defining parameters 103 ≤ Ra ≤ 2 × 104, -5 ≤ N ≤ 5 have been obtained. It is found, that the optimal heat and mass transfer rates for the aiding situation have been observed at two particular inclination angles namely 30° and 75° about the horizontal direction. It should be noted that the flow undergoes a periodic behavior for particular parameters Ra = 104 and γ = 75° according to the aiding flow case. The results also suggest that when N is in range -2 ≤ N ≤ -0.6, the flow continues to be three-dimensional keeping different heat and mass rates. Furthermore, it has been argued that the 2D assumption can be adopted for the 3D flows when the buoyancy ratio N is in range (-0.5–0).

Semicircular Ducts

The development of laminar mixed convection with heat and mass transfer in vertical and horizontal semicircular ducts has been investigated for the case of thermal boundary conditions of uniform heat input, concentration at the fluid–solid interface axially, and uniform peripheral wall temperature at any axial station. The governing equations were solved numerically over the following conditions: Pr = 0.7, Le = 1, Re = 500, Grt = 1.66 × 105, and Grc = 1.66 × 105. The combined effects of solutal and thermal Grashof numbers on the flow and thermal fields were observed in terms of the axial velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions, as well as, friction factor, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number. Further, the development of velocity, temperature, and concentration at different axial stations was found to be influenced by the solutal and thermal Grashof numbers. The results also showed that the forced-convection boundary layer development dominates very close to the duct inlet, while further downstream, the heat and mass transfer rates are enhanced due to the effect of solutal buoyancy.
