Hybrid Carbon

This research explored the mixed convection flow past a vertical plate immersed in a hybrid carbon nanotube near the stagnation point. The hybrid carbon nanotube was synthesized by the mixture of two nanoparticles, namely multi-wall (MWCNT) and single-wall (SWCNT) carbon nanotubes immersed in water (base fluid). In addition, attractive aspects of suction/injection and heat generation/absorption effects were incorporated. Similarity variables were used to convert the partial differential equations describing the fluid into ordinary (similarity) differential equations before being solved numerically using Matlab software. The simultaneous impact of several parameters on velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction coefficient, and local Nusselt number were represented with graphs. Dual solutions were observed for some pertinent parameters, which led to stability analysis. This analysis interpreted that merely the first numerical solution is stable. In addition, hybrid nanoparticle, injection effect, and heat-generation parameters led to a decreased range of solutions, whilst the suction effect and heat-absorption parameters acted in the opposite manner. Besides, it is noted that the rate of heat transfer for hybrid carbon nanotube was higher when compared with carbon nanotube and ordinary fluid. Additionally, the heat absorption and buoyancy-assisting flow parameters magnified the heat transfer rate.

Mixed Convective Flow

The problem of steady laminar hydromagnetic heat transfer by mixed convection flow over a vertical plate embedded in a uniform porous medium in the presence of a uniform normal magnetic field is studied. Convective heat transfer through porous media has wide applications in engineering problems such as in high temperature heat exchangers and in insulation problems. We construct solutions for the free convection boundary-layer flow equations using an Adomian–Padé approximation method that in the recent past has proven to be an able alternative to the traditional numerical techniques. The effects of the various flow parameters such as the Eckert, Hartmann, and Schmidt numbers on the skin friction coefficient and the concentration, velocity, and temperature profiles are discussed and presented graphically. A comparison of our results with those obtained using traditional numerical methods in earlier studies is made, and the results show an excellent agreement. The results demonstrate the reliability and the efficiency of the Adomian–Padé method in an unbounded domain.

An analysis is carried out for the steady two-dimensional mixed convection flow adjacent to a stretching vertical sheet immersed in an incompressible electrically conducting micropolar fluid. The stretching velocity and the surface temperature are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the leading edge. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is then solved numerically using a finite difference scheme known as the Keller box method. The effects of magnetic and material parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed. It is found that the magnetic field reduces both the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer rate at the surface for any given K and ?. Conversely, both of them increase as the material parameter increases for fixed values of M and ?.

Flow And Heat Transfer

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow over a shrinking or stretching flat sheet is investigated. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by a similarity transformation and are solved numerically with the help of MATLAB software. The numerical results obtained are for different values of the magnetic parameter M, heat generation parameter Q, Prandtl number Pr and reciprocal of magnetic Prandtl number ε. The influences of these parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated and shown in tables and graphs. Two solutions are found for a certain rate of the shrinking strength. The stability of the solutions in the long run is determined, and shows that only one of them is stable. It is found that the skin friction coefficient f ″ ( 0 ) and the local Nusselt number − θ ′ ( 0 ) decrease as the magnetic parameter M increases. Further, the local Nusselt number increases as the heat generation increases.

The steady mixed convection flow towards an impermeable vertical plate with a convective surface boundary condition is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are first reduced to ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, before being solved numerically. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed. Both assisting and opposing flows are considered. The results indicate that dual solutions exist for the opposing flow, whereas for the assisting flow, the solution is unique. Moreover, increasing the convective parameter is to increase the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer rate at the surface.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection flow and heat transfer of a dual stratified micropolar fluid over a vertical permeable stretching/ shrinking sheet with chemical reaction and heat source. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using an appropriate similarity transformation. Then, the obtained ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB software. The numerical results are tabulated and plotted for the heat transfer characteristics, namely, the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number as well as the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for some values of the governing parameters. The present numerical results also have been compared with the previous reported results for a particular case and the comparisons are found to be in an excellent agreement. The results indicate that the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number increase with chemical reaction and heat source. The magnitude of the local Sherwood number increases with the increasing of chemical reaction parameter. However, the magnitude of the local Sherwood number decreases with heat source effect.

Conjugate heat transfer formed by the coupling effect of conduction inside and free convection flow along the flat plate is analyzed. The Joule heating effect because of considered magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) along with viscous dissipation, heat generation, and radiation phenomena are included in the investigation. The converted dimensionless partial differential equations representing the aforementioned flow characteristics are transformed into nonlinear equations with the help of a stream function with similarity variable. Finally, a numerical solution is carried out using the implicit finite difference method to analyze the flow behaviors in terms of velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, heat transfer rate, and surface temperature. A complete parametric analysis is done on the numerical results to show the effects of the radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, Eckert number, heat generation parameter, conjugate conduction parameter, and Prandtl number. It is found that thermal radiation, viscous Joule heating, and internal heat generation in the presence of axial conduction effects have a significant effect on MHD natural convection flow and thermal fields.

Flow And Heat Transfer

The influences of thermal radiation and nanoparticles on free convection flow and heat transfer of Casson nanofluids over a vertical plate are investigated. The governing systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer processes are converted to systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations through similarity transformations. The resulting systems of fully coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved using the differential transformation method with Padé-approximant technique. The accuracies of the developed analytical methods are verified by comparing their results with the results of past works as presented in the literature. Thereafter, the analytical solutions are used to investigate the effects of thermal radiation, Prandtl number, nanoparticle volume fraction, shape, and type on the flow and heat transfer behaviour of various nanofluids over the flat plate. It is observed that both the velocity and temperature of the nanofluid as well as the viscous and thermal boundary layers increase with increase in the thermal radiation parameter. The velocity of the nanofluid decreases and the temperature of the nanofluid increase, respectively, as the Prandtl number and volume fraction of the nanoparticles in the base fluid increase. The decrease in velocity and increase in temperature are highest in lamina-shaped nanoparticle and followed by platelet-, cylinder-, brick-, and sphere-shaped nanoparticles, respectively. Using a common base fluid to all the nanoparticle types, it is established that the decrease in velocity and increase in temperature are highest in TiO2 and followed by CuO, Al2O3, and SWCNT nanoparticles, in that order. It is hoped that the present study will enhance the understanding of free convection boundary layer problems of Casson fluid under the influences of thermal radiation and nanoparticles as applied in various engineering processes.
