The main aim of the current study is to determine the effects of the temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a non-Newtonian fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet. The viscosity of the fluid depends on stratifications. Moreover, Powell–Eyring fluid is electrically conducted subject to a non-uniform applied magnetic field. Assume a small magnetic reynolds number and boundary layer approximation are applied in the mathematical formulation. Zero nano-particles mass flux condition to the sheet is considered. The governing model is transformed into the system of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) system by using suitable transformations so-called similarity transformation. In order to calculate the solution of the problem, we use the higher order convergence method, so-called shooting method followed by Runge-Kutta Fehlberg (RK45) method. The impacts of different physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed and discussed. The parameters of engineering interest, i.e., skin fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are studied numerically as well. We concluded that the velocity profile decreases by increasing the values of S t , H and M. Also, we have analyzed the variation of temperature and concentration profiles for different physical parameters.

The Impact

In this research, we studied the impact of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal radiation on Eyring Powell fluid with porous channels. The dimensionless equations were solved using the perturbation technique using the Weissenberg number (ε ≪ 1) to obtain clear formulas for the velocity field. All of the solutions for the physical parameters of the Reynolds number (Re), magnetic parameter (M), Darcy parameter (Da) and Prandtl number (Pr) were discussed through their different values. As shown in the plots the two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphical results of the velocity profile against various pertinent parameters have been illustrated with physical reasons. The results revealed that the temperature distribution increases for higher Prandtl and thermal radiation values. Such findings are beneficial in the field of engineering sciences.

The Impact

This study comprehensively explores the generalized form of two-dimensional peristaltic motions of incompressible fluid through temperature-dependent physical properties in a non-symmetric channel. Generation of entropy in the system, carrying Joule heat and Lorentz force is also examined. Viscous dissipation is not ignored, for viewing in-depth, effects of heat transmission and entropy production. The modeling of equations is tracked first in fixed and then in wave frame. The resultant set of coupled non-linear equations are solved numerically by utilizing NDSolve in Mathematica. Comparison between NDSolve and the numerical results obtained through bvp4c MATLAB is made for the validation of our numerical codes. The attained results are found to be in excellent agreement. The impact of control parameters on the velocity profiles, pressure gradient, heat transfer, streamlines and entropy production are studied and discussed graphically. It is witnessed that entropy production and heat transfer are increased significantly subject to the enhancement of Hartman number, Brinkman number and electrical conductivity parameter. Hence, choosing appropriate values of physical parameters, performance and efficiency of flow structure and system can be improved. The results reported provide a virtuous insight into bio energy systems providing a useful standard for experimental and extra progressive computational multiphysics simulations.

This paper investigates free convection in a partially heated square cavity filled with alumina-water nanofluid. The investigation is carried out at the three-volume fraction of nanoparticles (0, 0.03, 0.05), two Prandtl numbers (2.66, 6), and constant Grashof number (105) with three shapes of insulating obstacles (Square, Circular, and Rectangular). The results show that the nanofluid volume fraction and Prandtl number significantly enhance the heat transfer. The user-defined function (UDF) is developed and computed to investigate the effect of nanoparticle diameter and its temperature-dependent viscosity on convection. The average Nusselt number (Nu) increased with the temperature-dependent viscosity model and by increasing the percentage concentration of the nanoparticles. For all obstacle shapes, the thermal performance improved with increase in the nano-particle diameter.

Newtonian Behavior

Our earlier work on the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid of the differential type in a journal bearing is extended here to include nonisothermal operations and temperature dependent viscosity. We show that for the type of lubricant investigated, even a slight departure from Newtonian behavior renders the bearing performance relatively insensitive to changes in lubricant temperature. But whether this change in lubricant behavior actually results in improved load capacity depends on the value and the sign of the material parameters.
