This study focuses on the industrial and engineering interest quantities, such as drag force and rate of transmission of heat, for pseudo-plastic nanofluid flow. The attributes of natural convection of the pseudo-plastic nanofluid flow model over a vertical slender cylinder are explored. The pseudo-plastic flow is studied under the influence of concentration of nanoparticles, rate of heat transmission, and drag force. For the first time, the pseudo-plastic nanofluid flow model has been implemented over a vertical slender cylinder which is not yet investigated. The acquired model is based on thermophoresis and Brownian motion mechanisms. The governing equations of pseudo-plastic nanofluid in cylindrical coordinates are modelled. The developed system of nonlinear equations is tackled by boundary layer assumptions and similarity transformations. Moreover, the solution of the acquired system exhibited by using a new powerful numerical technique. A comprehensive debate on drag force and transmission of heat under the influence of various emerging parameters is illustrated in the table. Furthermore, the effects of dimensionless parameters over the velocity profile, temperature profile, and concentration of nanoparticle profile have been exhibited graphically.

The analysis of unsteady tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow past a wedge with injection-suction, because of its beneficial uses, has gained a lot of attention. The present study is mainly concerned with tangent hyperbolic nanofluid (non-Newtonian nanofluid). First, we have converted the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. Boundary conditions are also transformed by utilizing suitable similarity transformation. Now, for the obtained ODEs, we have used the numerical technique bvp 4 c and investigated the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The accuracy of the flow model is validated by applying MAPLE d-solve command having good agreement while comparing the numerical results obtained by bvp4c for both suction and injection cases. The effects of distinct dimensionless parameters on the various profiles are being analyzed. The novel features such as thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also discussed to investigate the characteristics of heat and mass transfer. Graphical representation of the impact of varying parameters and the solution method for the abovementioned model is thoroughly discussed. It was observed that suction or injection can play a key role in controlling boundary layer flow and brings stability in the flow. It was also noticed that by increasing the Darcy number, velocity profile increases in both injection-suction cases.

The magnetic dipole effect for thixotropic nanofluid with heat and mass transfer, as well as microorganism concentration past through a curved stretching surface, is discussed. The flow is in a porous medium, which describes the Darcy–Forchheimer model. Through similarity transformations, the governing equations of the problem are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations, which are then processed using an efficient and powerful method known as the homotopy analysis method. All the embedded parameters are considered when analyzing the problem through solution. The dipole and porosity effects reduce the velocity, while the thixotropic nanofluid parameter increases the velocity. Through the dipole and radiation effects, the temperature is enhanced. The nanoparticles concentration increases as the Biot number and curvature, solutal, chemical reaction parameters increase, while it decreases with increasing Schmdt number. The microorganism motile density decreases as the Peclet and Lewis numbers increase. Streamlines demonstrate that the trapping on the curved stretched surface is uniform.

The research article primarily deals with non-Newtonian squeezing nanofluid flow between parallel plates by taking into account different phenomena in the modeled problem. The thermal radiation and magneto hydrodynamics impact in fluid flow model is mainly focused in this analysis. The proposed nanofluid model also encompasses thermophoresis and the Brownian movement effects. The basic equations of nanofluids model such as velocity, heat and concentration equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. As a tool, the semi numerical scheme is used for solving the proposed problem with the greatest possible accuracy for the purpose of illustration and analysis. The basic physical parameters involved in velocity, heat and concentration profiles in the nanofluids flow are discussed in detail. The variation of skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number along with their impacts on the velocity, heat and concentration are determined. It is also focused to show the influence of different physical parameters graphically as well as in tabulated form. Excellent agreement between the results of semi analytical method and already published work is obtained, indicating the validity of the semi analytical approach. The study presented herein fills the gap in the literature, and will have a broad impact in industrial and biomedical fields.

In this article, the fully developed steady state flow of an incompressible fluid pertained to as viscoelastic nanofluid model with radiation effects through a penetrable plate is studied. Continuity, momentum and energy equations are elaborated to comprehend the nature of the fluid flow. By using similarity transformations, the solution of arising governing equations is obtained numerically with the assistance of a shooting technique. Furthermore, the consequences of different parameters, that is, Brownian motion parameter, Weissenberg number, thermophoresis parameter, permeability parameter, non-Newtonian parameter and radiation parameter on concentration, velocity and temperature fields, are canvassed with the help of graphs. The effects of Pr and [Formula: see text] on Nusselt number and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on Sherwood number are also discussed with the assistance of graphs and tables for different values of dimensionless parameters.

Abstract A mathematical model is envisioned to discourse the impact of Thompson and Troian slip boundary in the carbon nanotubes suspended nanofluid flow near a stagnation point along an expanding/contracting surface. The water is considered as a base fluid and both types of carbon nanotubes i.e., single-wall (SWCNTs) and multi-wall (MWCNTs) are considered. The flow is taken in a Dacry-Forchheimer porous media amalgamated with quartic autocatalysis chemical reaction. Additional impacts added to the novelty of the mathematical model are the heat generation/absorption and buoyancy effect. The dimensionless variables led the envisaged mathematical model to a physical problem. The numerical solution is then found by engaging MATLAB built-in bvp4c function for non-dimensional velocity, temperature, and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The validation of the proposed mathematical model is ascertained by comparing it with a published article in limiting case. An excellent consensus is accomplished in this regard. The behavior of numerous dimensionless flow variables including solid volume fraction, inertia coefficient, velocity ratio parameter, porosity parameter, slip velocity parameter, magnetic parameter, Schmidt number, and strength of homogeneous/heterogeneous reaction parameters are portrayed via graphical illustrations. Computational iterations for surface drag force are tabulated to analyze the impacts at the stretched surface. It is witnessed that the slip velocity parameter enhances the fluid stream velocity and diminishes the surface drag force. Furthermore, the concentration of the nanofluid flow is augmented for higher estimates of quartic autocatalysis chemical.

A theoretical investigation of the influence of a standing wave flow-field on the dynamics of a laminar two-dimensional spray diffusion flame is presented for the first time. The mathematical analysis permits mild slip between the droplets and their host surroundings. For the liquid phase, the use of a small Stokes number as the perturbation parameater enables a solution of the governing equations to be developed. Influence of the standing wave flow-field on droplet grouping is described by a specially constructed modification of the vaporization Damkohler number. Instantaneous flame front shapes are found via a solution for the usual Schwab–Zeldovitch parameter. Numerical results obtained from the analytical solution uncover the strong bearing that droplet grouping, induced by the standing wave flow-field, can have on flame height, shape, and type (over- or under-ventilated) and on the existence of multiple flame fronts.

Abstract This article aims to explore the mathematical and computational communication of transverse magnetic field interaction to stagnation point viscoelastic nanofluid flow over convectively heated stretching surface accompanied with a heat source, magnetohydrodynamics, and viscous dissipation. The mathematical framework is established for mass conservation, momentum, energy conservation, and concentration of nanoparticles is implemented. The constitutive nonlinear partial differential flow expressions are reduced by utilizing compatible similarity transformations. The non-dimensionless flow laws of (PDEs) are changed into nonlinear dimensionless governing ordinary differential flow laws and then the bvph2 numerical technique is employed for its solution. The consequences of innumerable governing flow parameters are explicitly deliberated and plotted graphically. The physical such as drag force and heat transfer rate are taken into the account and evaluated accordingly. To confirmed the legitimacy and reliability of the upcoming numerical results were compared with homotopic solution (HAM) and an outstanding promise was perceived.

For the first time, the problem of the inflation of a nonlinear viscoelastic thick-walled spherical shell is considered. Specifically, the wall has quasilinear viscoelastic constitutive behaviour, which is of fundamental importance in a wide range of applications, particularly in the context of biological systems such as hollow viscera, including the lungs and bladder. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the model in fitting relaxation tests associated with the volumetric inflation of murine bladders . While the associated nonlinear elastic problem of inflation of a balloon has been studied extensively, there is a paucity of studies considering the equivalent nonlinear viscoelastic case. We show that, in contrast to the elastic scenario, the peak pressure associated with the inflation of a neo-Hookean balloon is not independent of the shear modulus of the medium. Moreover, a novel numerical technique is described in order to solve the nonlinear Volterra integral equation in space and time originating from the fundamental problem of inflation and deflation of a thick-walled nonlinear viscoelastic shell under imposed pressure.

In this article, the steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting bio-nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking wedge in the presence of passively control boundary condition, Stefan blowing and multiple slips is numerically investigated. Magnetic induction is also taken into account. The governing conservation equations are rendered into a system of ordinary differential equations via appropriate similarity transformations. The reduced system is solved using a fast, convergent Chebyshev collocation method. The influence of selected parameters on the dimensionless velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and density of motile microorganisms as well as on the local skin friction, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and density of motile microorganism numbers is discussed and presented graphically. Validation with previously published results is performed and an excellent agreement is found. The study is relevant to electromagnetic manufacturing processes involving bio-nanofluids.
