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 present work deals with chemically reacting unsteady magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell nanofluid flow past an inclined permeable stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with thermal radiation. The formulated governing partial differential equations conveying the flow model of Maxwell with Buongiorno modeled nanofluid is transformed into the system of highly non-linear ordinary differential equations via suitable similarity transformations; those equations are transmuted into an initial value problem and then solved numerically by a shooting approach with Runge–-Kutta fourth-order schema. To obtain the physical insight of the flow situation, the influence of associated parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles is sketched graphically with the aid of MATLAB software. Furthermore, engineering quantities of interest are interpreted graphically. The computed numerical results are compared to estimate the validity of the achieved results; it has been found out that the computed results are highly accurate. The impact of the Maxwell parameter and inclination angle of the sheet on the velocity field is observed in decaying. Both thermal and solutal energy transport are progressive in nature as the Maxwell parameter and thermophoresis parameter grows, and a reverse trend is observed for Prandtl number.

AbstractIn the present article, magneto-micropolar nanofluid flow with suction or injection in a porous medium over a stretching sheet for the heat and mass transfer is analyzed numerically. Both Hall and ion-slip effects are considered along with variable thermal diffusivity. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations using usual similarity transformations. These coupled non-linear differential equations are solved using the shooting method. Effects of prominent parameter on velocities, temperature and concentration are discussed graphically. Numerical values of skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also tabulated and discussed.

In this paper, micropolar nanofluid boundary layer flow over a linear inclined stretching surface with the magnetic effect is investigated. Buongiorno’s model utilized in this study for the thermal efficiencies of the fluid flow in the presence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis properties. The nonlinear problem for micropolar nanofluid flow over an inclined sheet is established to study the heat and mass exchange phenomenon by considering portent flow parameters to strengthen the boundary layers. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are changed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and then solved numerically by applying the Keller-Box method. A comparison of the setup results in the absence of the incorporated impacts is performed with the accessible results and perceived in a decent settlement. Numerical and graphical outcomes are additionally presented in tables and diagrams.

This comparative study inspects the heat transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid flow. The model employed is a two-phase fluid flow model. Water is utilized as the base fluid, and zinc and titanium oxide (Zn and TiO2) are used as two different types of nanoparticles. The rotation of nanofluid is considered along the z-axis, with velocity ω*. A similarity transformation is used to transform the leading structure of partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. By using a powerful mathematical BVP-4C technique, numerical results are obtained. This study aims to describe the possessions of different constraints on temperature and velocity for rotating nanofluid with a magnetic effect. The outcomes for the rotating nanofluid flow and heat transference properties for both types of nanoparticles are highlighted with the help of graphs and tables. The impact of physical concentrations such as heat transference rates and coefficients of skin friction are examined. It is noted that rotation increases the heat flux and decreases skin friction. In this comparative study, Zn-water nanofluid was demonstrated to be a worthy heat transporter as compared to TiO2-water nanofluid.

The current analysis deals with radiative aspects of magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow with heat mass transfer features on electrically conductive Williamson nanofluid by a stretching surface. The impact of variable thickness and thermal conductivity characteristics in view of melting heat flow are examined. The mathematical formulation of Williamson nanofluid flow is based on boundary layer theory pioneered by Prandtl. The boundary layer nanofluid flow idea yields a constitutive flow laws of partial differential equations (PDEs) are made dimensionless and then reduce to ordinary nonlinear differential equations (ODEs) versus transformation technique. A built-in numerical algorithm bvp4c in Mathematica software is employed for nonlinear systems computation. Considerable features of dimensionless parameters are reviewed via graphical description. A comparison with another homotopic approach (HAM) as a limiting case and an excellent agreement perceived.

The effects of viscous dissipation on the boundary layer flow of hybrid nanofluids have been investigated. This study presents the mathematical modelling of steady two dimensional boundary layer flow of Cu-TiO2 hybrid nanofluid. In this research, the surface of the model is stretched and shrunk at the specific values of stretching/shrinking parameter. The governing partial differential equations of the hybrid nanofluid are reduced to the ordinary differential equations with the employment of the appropriate similarity transformations. Then, Matlab software is used to generate the numerical and graphical results by implementing the bvp4c function. Subsequently, dual solutions are acquired through the exact guessing values. It is observed that the second solution adhere to less stableness than first solution after performing the stability analysis test. The existence of viscous dissipation in this model is dramatically brought down the rate of heat transfer. Besides, the effects of the suction and nanoparticles concentration also have been highlighted. An increment in the suction parameter enhances the magnitude of the reduced skin friction coefficient while the augmentation of concentration of copper and titanium oxide nanoparticles show different modes.

The present study reveals the behavior of shear-thickening and shear-thinning fluids in magnetohydrodynamic flow comprising the significant impact of a hybrid nanofluid over a porous radially shrinking/stretching disc. The features of physical properties of water-based Ag/TiO2 hybrid nanofluid are examined. The leading flow problem is formulated initially in the requisite form of PDEs (partial differential equations) and then altered into a system of dimensionless ODEs (ordinary differential equations) by employing suitable variables. The renovated dimensionless ODEs are numerically resolved using the package of boundary value problem of fourth-order (bvp4c) available in the MATLAB software. The non-uniqueness of the results for the various pertaining parameters is discussed. There is a significant enhancement in the rate of heat transfer, approximately 13.2%, when the impact of suction governs about 10% in the boundary layer. Therefore, the heat transport rate and the thermal conductivity are greater for the new type of hybrid nanofluid compared with ordinary fluid. The bifurcation of the solutions takes place in the problem only for the shrinking case. Moreover, the sketches show that the nanoparticle volume fractions and the magnetic field delay the separation of the boundarylayer.

This paper attempts to study a ferrofluid lubrication based rough sine film slider bearing with assorted porous structure using a numerical approach. The fluid flow of the system is regulated by the Neuringer-Rosensweig model. The impact of the transverse surface roughness of the system has been derived using the Christensen and Tonder model. The corresponding Reynolds’ equation has been used to calculate the pressure distribution which, in turn, has been the key to formulate the load carrying capacity equation. A graphical representation is made to demonstrate the calculated value of the load carrying capacity which is a dimensionless unit. The numbers thus derived have been used to prove that ferrofluid lubrication aids the load carrying capacity. The study suggests that the positive impact created by magnetization in the case of negatively skewed roughness helps to partially nullify the negative impact of the transverse roughness. Further investigation implies that when the Kozeny-Carman’s model is used, the overall performance is enhanced. The Kozeny-Carman’s model is a form of an empirical equation used to calculate permeability that is dependent on various parameters like pore shape, turtuosity, specific surface area and porosity. The success of the model can be accredited to its simplicity and efficiency to describe measured permeability values. The obtained equation was used to predict the permeability of fibre mat systems and of vesicular rocks.

This work focused on slip flow over a non-Newtonian nanofluid fluid flow past a stretching sheet with particles–liquid suspension. The convective boundary condition is taken into account. Similarity transformations are utilized to reduce the nonlinear partial differential equations into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme is used to get the numerical solution. Important parameters are analyzed through graphs and skin friction coefficient. Nusselt numbers are presented in tables. Investigation reveals that slip parameter decreases the velocity field and Biot number increases the temperature field.

Abstract In this study, the impact of thermal radiation and partial slip on magnetohydrodynamic flow of the Jeffrey nanofluid comprising motile gyrotactic microorganisms via vertical stretching surface is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are reformed to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations by utilizing the similarity transformations. The transformed equations are of order four, which are complex to solve analytically and hence, the coupled system is solved computationally by using the shooting technique along the Runge–Kutta integrated scheme. The ramifications of different thermophysical parameters on the density of gyrotactic microorganisms, Jeffrey nanofluid velocity, nanoparticles concentration, temperature, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. Comparing this study with the results already published favors the validity of this study. It is established that the Nusselt number is boosted on enhancing the thermal radiation parameter, and the reverse trend has been observed on increasing the Richardson number, whereas the gyrotactic microorganisms density is more in case of viscous nanofluid compared to the Jeffrey nanofluid.
