This paper considers the problem of steady, boundary layer flow and heat transfer of dusty nanofluid over a stretching surface in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and nonlinear thermal radiation with Biot number effect. The base fluid (water) is considered with silver (Ag) nanoparticles along with suspended dust particles. The governing equations in partial form are reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. An effective Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique is used for the solution. The effects of flow parameters such as nanofluid interaction parameter, magnetic parameter, solid volume fraction parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameters, radiation parameter, temperature ratio parameter and Biot number on the flow field and heat-transfer characteristics were obtained and are tabulated. Useful discussions were carried out with the help of plotted graphs and tables. Under the limiting cases, comparison with the existing results was made and found to be in good agreement.

In the presence of slips, non-uniform heat source/sink, thermal radiation and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), micropolar hybrid nanofluid and heat transfer over a stretching sheet has been studied. The problem is modelled as a mathematical formulation that involves a system of the partial differential equation. The similarity approach is adopted, and self-similar ordinary differential equations are obtained and then those are solved numerically using the shooting method. The flow field is affected by the presence of physical parameters such as micropolar parameter, magnetic field parameter, suction parameter and slip parameter whereas the temperature field is affected by thermal radiation parameter, space-dependent parameter, temperature-dependent internal heat generation/absorption parameter, Prantl number and Biot number. The skin friction coefficient, couple stress and local Nusselt number are tabulated and analysed. The effects of the governing parameters on the velocity profiles, angular velocity profiles and temperature profiles are illustrated graphically. The results of velocity profiles, angular velocity profiles and temperature profiles are also obtained for several values of each parameters involved.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine numerically the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection and thermal radiation heat transfer of single walled carbon nanotubes-water nanofluid within T-inverted shaped corrugated cavity comprising porous media including uniform heat source/sink for solar energy power plants applications. Design/methodology/approach The two-dimensional numerical simulation is performed by drawing on Comsol Multiphysics program, based on the finite element process. Findings The important results obtained show that increasing numbers of Rayleigh and Darcy and the parameter of radiation enhance the flow of convection heat. Furthermore, by increasing the corrugation height, the convection flow increases, but it decreases with the multiplication of the corrugation height. The use of a flat cavity provides better output than a corrugated cavity. Originality/value The role of surface corrugation parameters on the efficiency of free convection and heat transfer of thermal radiation within the porous media containing the T-inverted corrugated cavity including uniform heat source/sink under the impact of Lorentz forces has never been explored. A contrast is also established between a flat cavity and a corrugated one.

The heat transfer in nanofluids plays a major role in solar energy, nuclear reactors, aerodynamics, etc. By keeping this in view, in this study, we investigated the flow and heat transfer nature of liquid film flow of ethylene glycol (EG)-Cu nanofluid in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink. We considered the Jeffrey fluid model to investigate the flow and heat transfer behavior. The governing equations are transformed as ordinary differential equations with the aid of similarity variables. Numerical results are carried out by employing bvp5c Matlab package. The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity and temperature profiles along with the reduced Nusselt number is discussed with the help of graphs and tabular results. It is observed that the rising value of the non-uniform heat source/sink parameter acts like heat generators and regulates the thermal field. Rising the film thickness enhances the heat transfer rate.
