Jeffrey Nanofluid

The goal of this investigation is to explore the influence of viscous dissipation and Brownian motion on Jeffrey nanofluid flow over an unsteady moving surface with thermophoresis and mixed convection. Zero mass flux is also addressed at the surface such that the nanoparticles fraction of maintains itself on huge obstruction. An aiding transformation is adopted to renovate the governing equations into a set of partial differential equations which is solved using a new fourth-order finite difference continuation method and various graphical outcomes are discussed in detail with several employed parameters. The spectacular influence of pertinent constraints on velocity and thermal curves are inspected through various plots. Computational data for the heat transfer rate and skin-friction coefficient are also reported graphically. Graphical outcomes indicate that an augmentation in buoyance ratio and thermophoretic parameter leads to diminish the velocity curves and increase the temperature curves. Furthermore, it is inspected that escalating Deborah number exhibits increasing in the skin friction and salient decreasing heat transmission. Increasing magnetic strength leads to a reduction in the skin friction and enhancement in the Nusselt number, whilst a reverse reaction is manifested with mixed convection aspects.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the surface roughness effects on mixed convection nanofluid flow with liquid hydrogen/liquid nitrogen diffusion. Design/methodology/approach The small parameter (α) is considered along with the frequency parameter n to study the surface roughness. The non-similar transformations are used to reduce the dimensional non-linear partial differential equations into dimensionless form, and then, the resulting equations are solved with the help of Newton’s Quasilinearization technique and the finite difference scheme. Findings The impacts of several dimensionless parameters such as Brownian diffusion parameter (Nb), thermophoresis parameter (Nt), small parameter (α), etc., are analyzed over various profiles as well as gradients. Also, the investigation is carried out for in presence and absence of nanoparticles. The influence of surface roughness is sinusoidal in nature and is more significant near the origin in case of skin-friction coefficient. The addition of nanoparticles enhances the skin-friction coefficient and reduces the Nusselt number, while its effects are not noticeable in case of mass transfer rates. The presence of suction/blowing, respectively, enhances/decreases the Sherwood number pertaining to the liquid hydrogen. Practical implications The results of the present analysis are expected to be useful for the design engineers of polymer industries in manufacturing good quality polymer sheets. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, no such investigation has been carried out in the literature.

AbstractThe current study analyzes the effects of modified Fourier and Fick's theories on the Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid flow over a stretched surface accompanying activation energy with binary chemical reaction. Mechanism of heat transfer is observed in the occurrence of heat source/sink and Newtonian heating. The induced magnetic field is incorporated to boost the electric conductivity of nanofluid. The formulation of the model consists of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations that are transmuted into coupled ordinary differential equations with high nonlinearity by applying boundary layer approximation. The numerical solution of this coupled system is carried out by implementing the MATLAB solver bvp4c package. Also, to verify the accuracy of the numerical scheme grid-free analysis for the Nusselt number is presented. The influence of different parameters, for example, reciprocal magnetic Prandtl number, stretching ratio parameter, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and Schmidt number on the physical quantities like velocity, temperature distribution, and concentration distribution are addressed with graphs. The Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number for different parameters are estimated through Tables. The analysis shows that the concentration of nanoparticles increases on increasing the chemical reaction with activation energy and also Brownian motion efficiency and thermophoresis parameter increases the nanoparticle concentration. Opposite behavior of velocity profile and the Skin friction coefficient is observed for increasing the stretching ratio parameter. In order to validate the present results, a comparison with previously published results is presented. Also, Factors of thermal and solutal relaxation time effectively contribute to optimizing the process of stretchable surface chilling, which is important in many industrial applications.

A stagnation-point flow of a Powell–Eyring nanofluid along a vertical stretching surface is examined. The buoyancy force effect due to mixed convection is taken into consideration along with the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effect. The flow is investigated under active and passive controls of nanoparticles at the surface. The associating partial differential equations are converted into a set of nonlinear, ordinary differential equations using similarity conversions. Then, the equations are reduced to first-order differential equations before further being solved using the shooting method and bvp4c function in MATLAB. All results are presented in graphical and tabular forms. The buoyancy parameter causes the skin friction coefficient to increase in opposing flows but to decrease in assisting flows. In the absence of buoyancy force, there is no difference in the magnitude of the skin friction coefficient between active and passive controls of the nanoparticles. Stagnation has a bigger influence under passive control in enhancing the heat transfer rate as compared to when the fluid is under active control. Assisting flows have better heat and mass transfer rates with a lower magnitude of skin friction coefficient as compared to opposing flows. In this case, the nanofluid parameters, the Brownian motion, and thermophoresis altogether reduce the overall heat transfer rates of the non-Newtonian nanofluid.

Flow Case

In this study, magnetohydrodynamic effects on the mixed convection flow of nanofluid particles, namely, Cu (copper) and Al2O3 (alumina) near a stagnation region over a vertical plate in the presence of viscous dissipation is investigated. The governing equations of the nanofluid flow model proposed by Tiwari and Das (Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 50, 2002 (2007). doi:10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2006.09.034) are converted into a dimensionless nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation. The solution of the resulting equations is obtained numerically by using a very efficient implicit scheme known as the Keller box method. A comparison with previous studies is shown in tabular form and excellent agreement is found. The effects of pertinent parameters like magnetic parameter M, Eckert number Ec, and volume fraction parameter ϕ on velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and local Nusselt number with fixed value of Prandtl number Pr = 6.2 are shown graphically and discussed. These results show that the skin friction coefficient increases for both nanoparticles in assisting and opposing flow cases because of increasing absolute values of M and Ec, on the other hand heat transfer rate is enhanced in the opposing flow case and reduced in the assisting flow case. The values of skin friction coefficient for both nanoparticles, namely, Cu and Al2O3 increase with the increase in volume fraction parameter ϕ in both assisting and opposing flow cases and Cu has a higher value than Al2O3. The same behavior is observed for local Nusselt number in opposing flow, but in assisting flow the value of local Nusselt number decreases with the increase of ϕ in the presence of magnetic and viscous dissipation effects and Cu has a smaller value than Al2O3.

The present exploration addresses the boundary layer electro-magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flow of time-dependant non-Newtonian tangent hyperbolic nanofluid that is electrically conducting past a Riga surface with variable thickness and slip boundary condition. Configuration flow modeling is deduced considering chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption with the impacts of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Also a newly proposed boundary condition with zero mass flux has been presented in the current contribution. Numerical solution of the governing non-linear differential equations is presented by considering the shooting technique. Graphical illustrations pointing out the aspects of distinct physical parameters on the non-Newtonian nanofluid velocity, temperature and concentration fields are introduced. From the computational results, the concentration distribution gives a decreasing function of the chemical reaction and Brownian motion parameters. Higher values of shape parameter yield a negative influence on the mechanical properties of the surface. The Hartmann number leads to maximize both of velocity field and skin friction coefficient. Additionally, numerical computed values of the skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are depicted with the needful discussion.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider axisymmetric mixed convection flow of water over a sphere with variable viscosity and Prandtl number and an applied magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The non-similar solutions have been obtained from the origin of the streamwise co-ordinate to the point of zero skin friction using quasilinearization technique with an implicit finite-difference scheme. Findings The effect of M is not notable on the temperature and heat transfer coefficient when λ is large. The skin friction coefficient and velocity profile are enhance with the increase of MHD parameter M when λ is small. Viscous dissipation has no significant on the skin friction coefficient under MHD effect. For M=1, the movement of the slot or slot suction or slot injection do not cause any effect on flow separation. The slot suction and the movement of the slot in downstream direction delay the point of zero skin friction for M=0. Originality/value The present results are original and new for water boundary-layer flow over sphere in mixed convection flow with MHD effect and non-uniform mass transfer. So this study would be useful in analysing the skin friction and heat transfer coefficient on sphere of mixed convection flow of water boundary layer with MHD effect.
