The presence of dust particles is involved in many engineering and industrial processes like transport of petroleum, emission of smoke from vehicles, piping of power plants, treatment of wastewater, and corrosive particles in mining. Because of the importance of this phenomenon, we considered the Casson liquid flow past a stretching hollow cylinder with fluid–particle suspension and convective boundary condition aspects. Numerical solution is obtained via shooting techniques after the applying of similarity variables to the governing partial equations. Key parameters of the problem are discussed through graphs. It is noticed that the clean fluid temperature is always higher value than the dust fluid and also the presence of radiation enhanced the temperature at the surface.

The combined effects of the magnetic field, suction/injection, and convective boundary condition on heat transfer and entropy generation in an electrically conducting Casson fluid flow through an inclined porous microchannel are scrutinized. The temperature-dependent heat source is also accounted. Numerical simulation for the modelled problem is presented via Runge–Kutta–Felhberg-based shooting technique. Special attention is given to analyze the impact of involved parameters on the profiles of velocity [Formula: see text], temperature [Formula: see text], entropy generation [Formula: see text], and Bejan number [Formula: see text]. It is established that entropy generation rate decreases at the walls with an increase in Hartmann number [Formula: see text], while it increases at the center region of the microchannel.

AbstractWe analyzed the effects of Biot number and non-uniform heat source/sink on boundary layer flow and nonlinear radiative heat transfer of fluid particle suspension over an unsteady stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with nanoparticles. We considered conducting dust particles embedded with -water nanopartcles. The governing equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using local similarity transformations and solved numerically using Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg-45 order method along with shooting technique. The effects of non-dimensional parameters on velocity and temperature profiles for fluid phase and dust phase are discussed and presented through graphs. Also, friction factor and Nusselt number are discussed and presented through graphs. Comparisons of the present study were made with existing studies under some special assumptions. The present results have an excellent agreement with existing studies. Results indicated that the enhancement in fluid particle interaction parameter increases the heat transfer rate and depreciates the wall friction. Also, radiation parameter has the tendency to increase the temperature profiles of the dusty nanofluid.

The heat transfer and entropy generation in a MHD flow of Casson fluid through a porous microchannel with thermal radiation were investigated numerically. Combined effects of suction/injection, hydrodynamic slip, magnetic field and convective boundary condition on the heat transfer and entropy generation are studied. The dimensionless equations are solved numerically by using fourth-fifth-order Runge–Kutta integration method along with shooting technique. Moreover, influences of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and entropy generation were discussed in detail and illustrated graphically. Based on numerical results, we can see that, entropy generation rate increases with an increase in radiation parameter and Biot number. As Hartmann number increases, the entropy generation decreases at the both cooled and heated plates and increases at the centerline region of the microchannel.

Abstract The present article explores the effect of viscous dissipation on steady natural convection Couette flow subject to convective boundary condition. Due to the nonlinearity and coupling of the governing equations in the present situation, the homotopy perturbation method was employed to obtain the solutions of the energy and momentum equations. The impacts of the controlling parameters were investigated and discussed graphically. In the course of investigation, it was found that fluid temperature increases with an increase in viscous dissipation while the reverse trend was observed in fluid velocity. However, it was also discovered that heat generation leads to a decrease in the rate of heat transfer on the heated plate and it increases on the cold plate. Finally, it was concluded that the velocity boundary layer thickness increases with an increase in Biot number.
