This article presents an investigation of heat transfer in a porous medium adjacent to a vertical plate. The porous medium is subjected to a magnetohydrodynamic effect and suction velocity. The governing equations are nondepersonalized and converted into ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved with the help of the finite difference method. The impact of various parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, permeability parameter, radiation parameter, Eckert number, viscous dissipation parameter, and magnetic parameter, on fluid flow characteristics inside the porous medium is discussed. Entropy generation in the medium is analyzed with respect to various parameters, including the Brinkman number and Reynolds number. It is noted that the velocity profile decreases in magnitude with respect to the Prandtl number, but increases with the radiation parameter. The Eckert number has a marginal effect on the velocity profile. An increased radiation effect leads to a reduced thermal gradient at the hot surface.

In this article, a study on the stability of Walter-B viscoelastic fluid in the highly permeable porous medium under the rotational speed modulation is presented. The impact of rotational modulation on heat transport is performed through a weakly nonlinear analysis. A perturbation procedure based on the small amplitude of the perturbing parameter is used to study the combined effect of rotation and permeability on the stability through a porous medium. Rayleigh–Bénard convection with the Coriolis expression has been examined to explain the impact of rotation on the convective flow. The graphical result of different parameters like modified Prandtl number, Darcy number, Rayleigh number, and Taylor number on heat transfer have discussed. Furthermore, it is found that the modified Prandtl number decelerates the heat transport which may be due to the combined effect of elastic parameter and Taylor number.

Abstract The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a vertical channel in the presence of radiation immersed in a porous medium has been studied. Approximate solutions have been obtained for the velocity and temperature fields, shear stresses and rate of heat transfer using the perturbation technique. It is found that the primary velocity decreases with an increase in the radiation parameter as well as the Prandtl number for cooling of the plate. It is also found that with an increase in the permeability parameter, the primary velocity increases for cooling of the plate. The magnitude of the secondary velocity decreases near the plate y = 0 and increases near the plate y = d with an increase in the permeability parameter. The temperature distribution decreases with an increase of the radiation parameter as wall as the Prandtl number for cooling of the plate. The shear stresses and the rate of heat transfer, which are of physical interest, are presented in the form of tables.

This paper investigates natural convection heat transfer of generalized Oldroyd-B fluid in a porous medium with modified fractional Darcy's law. Nonlinear coupled boundary layer governing equations are formulated with time–space fractional derivatives in the momentum equation. Numerical solutions are obtained by the newly developed finite difference method combined with L1-algorithm. The effects of involved parameters on velocity and temperature fields are presented graphically and analyzed in detail. Results indicate that, different from the classical result that Prandtl number only affects the heat transfer, it has remarkable influence on both the velocity and temperature boundary layers, the average Nusselt number rises dramatically in low Prandtl number, but increases slowly with the augment of Prandtl number. The maximum value of velocity profile and the thickness of momentum boundary layer increases with the augment of porosity and Darcy number. Moreover, the relaxation fractional derivative parameter accelerates the convection flow and weakens the elastic effect significantly, while the retardation fractional derivative parameter slows down the motion and strengthens the elastic effect.

The micropolar nanofluids are the potential liquids that enhance the thermophysical features and ability of heat transportation instead of base liquids. Alumina and Titania nanoparticles are mixed in a micropolar fluid. The impact of convective boundary condition is also examined with assisting and opposing flows of both nanofluids. The main objective of this study is to investigate mixed convective flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids across a cylinder in a saturated porous medium. Non-similar variables are used to make the governing equations dimensionless. The local similar and non-similar solutions are obtained by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method of seventh order. The impacts of various embedded variables on the flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids are investigated and interpreted graphically. It is demonstrated that the skin friction and heat transfer rates depend on solid volume fraction of nanoparticles, Biot number, mixed convection, and material parameters.

AbstractAn attempt has been made to examine the effects of magnetohydrodynamic couple stress fluid in peristaltic flow with porous medium under the impact of slip, heat transfer and wall properties. The expressions are obtained for temperature, coefficient of heat transfer and velocity. Influences of different parameters, the Hartmann number, Brinkman number and adaptability parameters on the temperature and warmth trade coefficient are discussed through outlines.

Abstract The focus of this paper is to study the effects of stagnation point flow and porous medium on ferrofluid flow over a variable thicked sheet. Heat transfer analysis is discussed by including thermal radiation. Suitable transformations are applied to convert partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. Convergent results for series solutions are calculated. The impact of numerous parameters on velocity and temperature is displayed for series solutions. Graphical behavior for skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number is also analyzed. Numerical values of Nusselt number are tabulated depending upon various parameters

The impact of vertical throughflow and g-jitter effect on rotating porous medium is investigated. A feeble nonlinear stability analysis associate to complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) has been studied. This weakly nonlinear analysis performed for a periodic mode of convection and quantified heat transport in terms of the Nusselt number, which is governed by the non-autonomous advanced CGLE. Each idea, rotation and throughflow is used as an external mechanism to the system either to extend or decrease the heat transfer. The results of amplitude and frequency of modulation on heat transport are analyzed and portrayed graphically. Throughflow has dual impact on heat transfer either to increase or decrease heat transfer in the system. Particularly the outflow enhances and inflow diminishes the heat transfer. High centrifugal rates promote heat transfer and low centrifugal rates diminish heat transfer. The streamlines and isotherms area portrayed graphically, the results of rotation and throughflow on isotherms shows convective development.
