Non-similar bioconvective analysis of magnetized hybrid nanofluid (Ag + TiO2) flow over exponential stretching surface

Scientists have studied fluid flow over a stretching sheet to explore its potential applications in industries. This study investigates the exponential stretching flow of a bioconvective magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid nanofluid in porous medium taking into consideration thermal radiations, heat generation, chemical reaction, porosity, and dissipation. Moreover, microorganisms are present in the fluid, so the fluid is more stable, which is crucial in biotechnology, biomicrosystems, and bio-nano coolant systems. Silver and titanium dioxide in a water-based medium are the prototypical nanoparticles. The present study involves a transformation of the governing system into a set of dimensionless, coupled and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) using nonsimilar techniques. The local non-similarity (LNS) technique is used to truncate these equations to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This technique is also used to estimate transformed equations numerically until the second level of truncation takes place via the bvp4c algorithm, which is a built-in MATLAB solver. Furthermore, tables are provided that presents the drag coefficients, Nusselt numbers, Sherwood numbers, and densities of motile microorganisms. Results show a negative correlation between the velocity and the magnetic field parameter as well as the porosity parameter, as evidenced by a decrease in velocity corresponds to rises in these parameters. The temperature distribution exhibits a positive correlation with the rising values of both radiation parameter and Eckert number. The concentration profiles also exhibit a negative correlation with the increasing values of Lewis and bioconvection Lewis number, chemical reaction parameter, Peclet number and the differences in microbial concentration. This study will improve the future research on hybrid nanofluid regarding industrial applications. There haven't been any previous publications that have investigated the use of this model with the local non-similarity method. The main objective of this article is to enhance the heat transfer performance in a hybrid nanofluid.

Unsteady Hybrid (Ag–CuO/Water) Nanofluid Flow and Heat Transfer due to a Stretching Sheet with Variable Temperature

In this paper, the focal aims are (i) to explore the transient boundary-layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting hybrid (Ag–CuO water) nanofluid along a vertical stretching surface (sheet) having non-zero slot velocity at variable temperature, and (ii) to discuss the influences of momentous parameters involved on the heat transfer and skin friction coefficient graphically. The “Tiwari-Das nanofluid model” is used. The central equations (PDEs) are converted into finite difference equations by the powerful Crank Nicolson technique and numerically solved using the Thomas algorithm. The achieved outcomes for a specific case of the challenge are compared with an analytical solution computed using the Laplace transform technique and discovered to be in excellent accord.

Magnetized mixed convection hybrid nanofluid with effect of heat generation/absorption and velocity slip condition

Through a vertically shrinking sheet, a two-dimensional magnetic nanofluid is numerically analyzed for convection, heat generation and absorption, and the slip velocity effect. In this research, Al₂O₃-Cu/water composite nanofluid is studied, where water is deemed the base liquid and copper (Cu) and alumina (Al₂O₃) are the solid nanoparticles. Modern composite nanofluids improve heat transfer efficiency. Using the Tiwari-Das model, the current study examines the effects of the solid volume fraction of copper, heat generation/absorption, MHD, mixed convection, and velocity slip parameters on velocity and temperature distributions. Introducing exponential similarity variables converts nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). MATLAB bvp4c solver is used to solve ODEs. Results showed dual solutions for suction with 0%-10% copper nanoparticles and 1%-500% heat generation/absorption. As copper (Cu) solid volume percentage increases from 0% to 10%, reduced skin friction f ″ ( 0 ) boosts in the first solution but falls in the second. When Cu is added to both solutions, heat transport - θ ' ( 0 ) decreases. As heat generation/absorption increases 1%-500%, - θ ' ( 0 ) decreases in both solutions. In conclusion, solution dichotomy exists when suction parameter S ≥ S c i in assisting flow case, while no fluid flow is possible when S < S c i .

Insight into the Dynamics of Water Conveying Silver and Aluminium Oxide Nanoparticles on a Moving Cylinder Subject to Variable Surface Temperature and Lorentz Force

MHD and variable surface temperature are examined numerically in this article to see how they affect the unsteady type natural convection flow of a hybrid nanofluid on a moving vertical cylinder. Nanoparticles of Ag and Al2O3 are considered in the water-based hybrid nanofluid. Using the Crank-Nicolson method, the equations governing flow and heat transport are unravelled. To test the present numerical approach validity, the results are matched to those found in the literature for similar problems and found to be extremely congruent with those findings. Analysis of temperature and velocity portraits, as well as Cf (skin friction coefficient) and Nux (Nusselt number) for each vital parameter, has been illustrated. This study found that by escalating the magnetic parameter, Nux and Cf of Ag–Al2O3/water can be reduced. Also, increasing Gr can be used to augment the Cf and Nux of Ag–Al2O3/water. Further, by increasing δ2, a lower skin friction coefficient and a higher Nusselt number can be achieved. The current findings are useful to the thermal flow processing of magnetic nanomaterials in the metallurgy industries and chemical engineering.

Partial differential equations of entropy analysis on ternary hybridity nanofluid flow model via rotating disk with hall current and electromagnetic radiative influences

The flow of a fluid across a revolving disc has several technical and industrial uses. Examples of rotating disc flows include centrifugal pumps, viscometers, rotors, fans, turbines, and spinning discs. An important technology with implications for numerous treatments utilized in numerous sectors is the use of hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) to accelerate current advancements. Through investigation of ternary nanoparticle impacts on heat transfer (HT) and liquid movement, the thermal properties of tri-HNFs were to be ascertained in this study. Hall current, thermal radiation, and heat dissipation have all been studied in relation to the use of flow-describing equations. The ternary HNFs under research are composed of the nanomolecules aluminum oxide (Al2O3), copper oxide (CuO), silver (Ag), and water (H2O). For a number of significant physical characteristics, the physical situation is represented utilizing the boundary layer investigation, which produces partial differential equations (PDEs). The rheology of the movement is extended and computed in a revolving setting under the assumption that the movement is caused by a rotatingfloppy. Before the solution was found using the finite difference method, complicated generated PDEs were transformed into corresponding ODEs (Keller Box method). A rise in the implicated influencing factors has numerous notable physical impacts that have been seen and recorded. The Keller Box method (KBM) approach is also delivered for simulating the determination of nonlinear system problems faced in developing liquid and supplementary algebraic dynamics domains. The rate of entropy formation rises as the magnetic field parameter and radiation parameter increase. Entropy production rate decreases as the Brinkman number and Hall current parameter become more enriched. The thermal efficiency of ternary HNFs compared to conventional HNFs losses to a low of 4.8% and peaks to 5.2%.

The fundamental purpose of this research is to elaborate on slip boundary conditions and the flow of three-dimensional, stable, incompressible, rotating movements of nanoparticles lying across a stretchable sheet. The mathematical model for fluid flow is created using the assumptions stated above. The partial differentials are produced after utilizing boundary layer estimates. The partial differential governing equations are reduced into three coupled ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. After, applying transformations the system is solved numerically. Numerical results are approved with the help of the MATLAB bvp4c algorithm. The analysis shows that velocity and temperature are strongly dependent on essential parameters like stretching ratio, velocity slip, rotation, thermal slip parameter, and Prandtl number. Numerical values of distinct parameters on heat flux and skin friction factors are shown in a tabulated form. Partial velocity and thermal slip are applied to the temperature surface. The comparison among the nano-sized particles copper oxide and silver with water base nanofluid affecting velocity and temperature fields are used for analysis. Moreover, the Graphical depiction designates that the velocity and temperature spreading of the thermal slip parameter is increasing. It is observed that Ag-water is the best heat carrier as compared to CuO-water nanofluid.

Heat Transport during Colloidal Mixture of Water with Al2O3-SiO2 Nanoparticles within Porous Medium: Semi-Analytical Solutions

In recent years, energy consumption has become an essential aspect in the manufacturing industry, and low heat transfer is one of the obstacles that affect the quality of the final product. This situation can be managed by suspending nanoparticles into ordinary heat transferring fluid (the base fluid). This newly prepared colloidal suspension has better heat transport capabilities. Keeping such usage of nanofluids in mind, this research was performed to better understand the heat transport characteristics during flow analysis saturated in porous media subject to Al2O3-SiO2/water hybrid nanofluids. This flow problem was generated by a stretching/shrinking surface. The surface of the sheet was under the influence of mass suction and second-order partial slip. The boundary layer flow was formulated in a system of partial differential equations by utilizing basic conservation laws in conjunction with the Tiwari and Das nanofluid model. Then, the appropriate form of the similarity transformation was adapted to transform the model into a system of ordinary differential equations. The built-in function, i.e., the bvp4c function in the MATLAB software, solved the reduced form of the boundary layer model. The novelty of this study lay in the predicting of two different exact and numerical solutions for both the flow and temperature fields. The computed results showed that the medium porosity as well as the nanoparticle volume fraction widened the existence range of the dual solutions. In addition, the investigational output exposed the fact that the temperature fields were significantly enhanced by the higher nanoparticle volume fraction. Moreover, the outcomes of this study showed a superb correlation with existing works. The present results can be utilized in various branches of science and engineering such as the polymer industry and in the treatment of different diseases.

Squeezing flow is a flow where the material is squeezed out or disfigured within two parallel plates. Such flow is beneficial in various fields, for instance, in welding engineering and rheometry. The current study investigates the squeezing flow of a hybrid nanofluid (propylene glycol–water mixture combined with paraffin wax–sand) between two parallel plates with activation energy and entropy generation. The governing equations are converted into ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations. The shooting strategy (combined with Runge–Kutta fourth order method) is applied to solve these transformed equations. The results of the conducted parametric study are explained and revealed in graphs. This study uses a statistical tool (correlation coefficient) to illustrate the impact of the relevant parameters on the engineering parameters of interest, such as the surface friction factor at both plates. This study concludes that the squeezing number intensifies the velocity profiles, and the rotating parameter decreases the fluid velocity. In addition, the magnetic field, rotation parameter, and nanoparticle volumetric parameter have a strong negative relationship with the friction factor at the lower plate. Furthermore, heat source has a strong negative relationship with heat transfer rate near the lower plate, and a strong positive correlation with the same phenomena near the upper plate. In conclusion, the current study reveals that the entropy generation is increased with the Brinkman number and reduced with the squeezing parameter. Moreover, the results of the current study verify and show a decent agreement with the data from earlier published research outcomes.

The effect of thermal radiation on the three-dimensional magnetized rotating flow of a hybrid nanofluid has been numerically investigated. Enhancing heat transmission is a contemporary engineering challenge in a range of sectors, including heat exchangers, electronics, chemical and biological reactors, and medical detectors. The main goal of the current study is to investigate the effect of magnetic parameter, solid volume fraction of copper, Eckert number, and radiation parameter on velocity and temperature distributions, and the consequence of solid volume fraction on declined skin friction and heat transfer against suction and a stretching/shrinking surface. A hybrid nanofluid is a contemporary type of nanofluid that is used to increase heat transfer performance. A linear similarity variable is−applied to convert the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into corresponding ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Using the three-stage Labatto III-A method included in the MATLAB software’s bvp4c solver, the ODE system is solved numerically. In certain ranges of involved parameters, two solutions are received. The temperature profile θη upsurges in both solutions with growing values of EC and Rd. Moreover, the conclusion is that solution duality exists when the suction parameter S≥Sci, while no flow of fluid is possible when S<Sci. Finally, stability analysis has been performed and it has been found that only the first solution is the stable one between both solutions.

The impacts of different parameters, such as copper nanoparticles volume fraction, radiation, rotation, unsteadiness, and stretching parameters are graphically displayed. It is found that two solutions exist for the flow induced by the stretching sheet. Furthermore, the increasing nanoparticle volume fraction enhances the skin friction coefficient. It is noticed that the skin friction coefficient, as well as the heat transfer rate at the surface, decrease as the rotating parameter increases. Additionally, the thermal radiation as well as the unsteadiness parameter stimulate the temperature.

The performance of Copper and Titanium oxide is over looked in the flow of engine oil. The energy equation is amended by the features of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and heat generation. The mathematical model signifies the porosity, entropy generation and moving flat horizontal surface with the non-uniform stretching velocity. Quasi-linearization, which is a persuasive numerical technique to solve the complex coupled differential equations, is used to acquire the numerical solution of the problem. Flow and heat transfer aspects of Cu–TiO₂ in the flow are examined against the preeminent parameters. The flow is significantly affected by the thermal jump conditions and porous media. It is observed here that the temperature as well as heat transport rate is reduced with the effect of involved preeminent parameters.

The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are explained in table form. The present work is found to be in very good agreement with those published earlier.

Exploring the heat transfer and entropy generation of Ag/Fe[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text]-blood nanofluid flow in a porous tube: a collocation solution

 Evaluating the entropy generation is essential in thermal systems to avoid the unnecessarily wasted thermal energy during the thermal processes. Nowadays, researchers are greatly fascinated to scrutinize the entropy generation in a human system because it is utilized as a thermodynamic approach to understand the heat transfer characteristics of cancer systems or wounded tissue and their accessibility status. Further, numerous nanoparticles have been employed as an agent to control the heat transfer of blood and wounded tissue. As a result, the present model manifests the entropy generation, flow characteristics and heat transport of Ag/Fe[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text]-blood flow of a nanofluid in a permeable circular tube with the influence of variable electrical conductivity and linear radiation. Nonlinear transport equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity variables which are solved with weighted residual method. Significant parameters like Reynolds number, dimensionless permeability parameter, extending/contracting parameter, Eckert number and Hartmann number on the radial pressure, axial velocity, radial velocity and temperature are explored through graphs. The obtained results show that temperature distribution of Fe[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] nanoparticles is higher than Ag nanoparticle, in case of suction. The dimensionless permeability parameter has an opposite nature on the radial pressure for the suction and injection cases. Growing values of Hartmann number enhance the total entropy generation for the cases of suction and injection.

Mixed Convection of Silica–Molybdenum Disulphide/Water Hybrid Nanoliquid over a Rough Sphere

A steady combined convective motion over a rough sphere with hybrid nanoparticles is analyzed. We have considered silica (SiO2) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanoadditives which are added in H2O to form MoS2–SiO2/H2O hybrid nanoliquid. The partial differential equations describing the boundary layer flow characteristics are reduced into non-dimensional form with appropriate non-similar reduction. It should be noted that the governing equations have been written using the conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy. These considered equations allow simulating the analyzed phenomenon using numerical techniques. Implicit finite difference approximation and technique of Quasilinearization are utilized to work out the dimensionless control equations. The influence of various physical characteristics included in this challenge, such as the velocity fields and temperature patterns, is investigated. The study of border gradients is performed, which deals with the skin friction and energy transport strength. The plots of computational outcomes are considered, which ascertain that velocity distribution reduces, whilst coefficient of friction at the surface, energy transport strength and temperature distribution augment for enhancing values of hybrid nanofluid. For enhancing magnitude of combined convection parameter, dimensionless velocity distribution, surface drag coefficient and energy transport strength enhance, while temperature distribution diminishes. High impact of hybrid nanofluid on energy transport strength and the surface friction compared to the host liquid and mono nanofluid in presence/absence of surface roughness is shown. Velocity distribution enhances for rising values of velocity ratio parameter. Enhancing values of frequency parameter rise the friction at the surface and energy transport strength. It is also examined that the hybrid nanofluid has a maximum temperature for the blade-shaped nanoparticles and has a low temperature for the spherical-shaped nanoparticles.

An investigation has been done on the hybrid nanofluid slip flow in the existence of heat generation over an exponentially stretching/shrinking permeable sheet. Hybridization of alumina and copper with water as the base fluid is considered. The mathematical model is simplified through the similarity transformation.

Through the stability analysis, only the first solution is considered as the physical solution. As such, the findings conclude that the upsurges of volume fraction on the copper nanoparticle could enhance the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number.

Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Past a Shrinking Cylinder with Prescribed Surface Heat Flux

This numerical study was devoted to examining the occurrence of non-unique solutions in boundary layer flow due to deformable surfaces (cylinder and flat plate) with the imposition of prescribed surface heat flux. The hybrid Al2O3-Cu/water nanofluid was formulated using the single phase model with respective correlations of hybrid nanofluids. The governing model was simplified by adopting a similarity transformation. The transformed differential equations were then numerically computed using the efficient bvp4c solver with the ranges of the control parameters 0.5%≤ϕ1,ϕ2≤1.5% (Al2O3 and Cu volumetric concentration), 0≤K≤0.2 (curvature parameter), 2.6<S≤3.2 (suction parameter) and −2.5<λ≤0.5 (stretching/shrinking parameter). Dual steady solutions are presentable for both a cylinder (K>0) and a flat plate (K=0) with the inclusion of only the suction (transpiration) parameter. The real and stable solutions were mathematically validated through the stability analysis. The Al2O3-Cu/water nanofluid with ϕ1=0.5% (alumina) and ϕ2=1.5% (copper) has the highest skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate, followed by the hybrid nanofluids with volumetric concentrations (ϕ1=1%,ϕ2=1%) and (ϕ1=1.5%,ϕ2=0.5%), respectively. Surprisingly, the flat plate surface abates the separation of boundary layer while it enhances the heat transfer process.

Hybrid nanofluid flow towards a stagnation point on a stretching/shrinking cylinder

This paper examines the stagnation point flow towards a stretching/shrinking cylinder in a hybrid nanofluid. Here, copper (Cu) and alumina (Al₂O₃) are considered as the hybrid nanoparticles while water as the base fluid. The governing equations are reduced to the similarity equations using a similarity transformation. The resulting equations are solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver, bvp4c, available in the Matlab software. It is found that the heat transfer rate is greater for the hybrid nanofluid compared to the regular nanofluid as well as the regular fluid. Besides, the non-uniqueness of the solutions is observed for certain physical parameters. It is also noticed that the bifurcation of the solutions occurs in the shrinking regions. In addition, the heat transfer rate and the skin friction coefficients increase in the presence of nanoparticles and for larger Reynolds number. It is found that between the two solutions, only one of them is stable as time evolves.

Squeezed Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over a Permeable Sensor Surface

This paper examines the squeezed hybrid nanofluid flow over a permeable sensor surface with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and radiation effects. The alumina (Al2O3) and copper (Cu) are considered as the hybrid nanoparticles, while water is the base fluid. The governing equations are reduced to the similarity equations, using the similarity transformation. The resulting equations are programmed in Matlab software through the bvp4c solver to obtain the numerical solutions. It was found that the heat transfer rate was greater for the hybrid nanofluid, compared to the regular nanofluid. It was observed that dual solutions exist for some values of the permeable parameter S. The upper branch solutions of the skin friction coefficient ( Re x 1 / 2 C f ) and the heat transfer rate at the surface ( Re x − 1 / 2 N u x ) enhance with the added Cu nanoparticle ( φ 2 ) and for larger magnetic strength ( M ). Moreover, the values of Re x 1 / 2 C f decrease, whereas the values of Re x − 1 / 2 N u x increase for both branches, with the rise of the squeeze flow index ( b ). Besides, an increment of the heat transfer rate at the sensor surface for both branches was observed in the presence of radiation ( R ). Temporal stability analysis was employed to determine the stability of the dual solutions, and it was discovered that only one of them was stable and physically reliable as time evolves.

Unsteady Three-Dimensional MHD Non-Axisymmetric Homann Stagnation Point Flow of a Hybrid Nanofluid with Stability Analysis

The hybrid nanofluid under the influence of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a new interest in the industrial sector due to its applications, such as in solar water heating and scraped surface heat exchangers. Thus, the present study accentuates the analysis of an unsteady three-dimensional MHD non-axisymmetric Homann stagnation point flow of a hybrid Al2O3-Cu/H2O nanofluid with stability analysis. By employing suitable similarity transformations, the governing mathematical model in the form of the partial differential equations are simplified into a system of ordinary differential equations. The simplified mathematical model is then solved numerically by the Matlab solver bvp4c function. This solving approach was proficient in generating more than one solution when good initial guesses were provided. The numerical results presented significant influences on the rate of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of a hybrid nanofluid. The rate of heat transfer and the trend of the skin friction coefficient improve with the increment of the nanoparticles’ concentration and the magnetic parameter; however, they deteriorate when the unsteadiness parameter increases. In contrast, the ratio of the escalation of the ambient fluid strain rate to the plate was able to adjourn the boundary layer separation. The dual solutions (first and second solutions) are obtainable when the surface of the sheet shrunk. A stability analysis is carried out to justify the stability of the dual solutions, and hence the first solution is seen as physically reliable and stable, while the second solution is unstable.

Dual Solutions and Stability Analysis of Magnetized Hybrid Nanofluid with Joule Heating and Multiple Slip Conditions

This paper investigates the steady, two dimensional, and magnetohydrodynamic flow of copper and alumina/water hybrid nanofluid on a permeable exponentially shrinking surface in the presence of Joule heating, velocity slip, and thermal slip parameters. Adopting the model of Tiwari and Das, the mathematical formulation of governing partial differential equations was constructed, which was then transformed into the equivalent system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by employing exponential similarity transformation variables. The resultant system was solved numerically using the BVP4C solver in the MATLAB software. For validation purposes, the obtained numerical results were compared graphically with those in previous studies, and found to be in good agreement, as the critical points are the same up to three decimal points. Based on the numerical results, it was revealed that dual solutions exist within specific ranges of the suction and magnetic parameters. Stability analysis was performed on both solutions in order to determine which solution(s) is/are stable. The analysis indicated that only the first solution is stable. Furthermore, it was also found that the temperature increases in both solutions when the magnetic parameter and Eckert number are increased, while it reduces as the thermal slip parameter rises. Furthermore, the coefficient of skin friction and the heat transfer rate increase for the first solution when the magnetic and the suction parameters are increased. Meanwhile, no change is noticed in the boundary layer separation for the various values of the Eckert number in the heat transfer rate.

Dual Solutions and Stability Analysis of a Hybrid Nanofluid over a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet Executing MHD Flow

In this paper, the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of hybrid nanofluid (HNF) composed of C u − A l 2 O 3 /water in the presence of a thermal radiation effect over the stretching/shrinking sheet is investigated. Using similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are then solved by using a shooting method. In order to validate the obtained numerical results, the comparison of the results with the published literature is made numerically as well as graphically and is found in good agreements. In addition, the effects of many emerging physical governing parameters on the profiles of velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and heat transfer rate are demonstrated graphically and are elucidated theoretically. Based on the numerical results, dual solutions exist in a specific range of magnetic, suction, and unsteadiness parameters. It was also found that the values of f ″ ( 0 ) rise in the first solution and reduce in the second solution when the solid volume fraction ϕ C u is increased. Finally, the temporal stability analysis of the solutions is conducted, and it is concluded that only the first solution is stable.

Computational Study of MHD Nanofluid Flow Possessing Micro-Rotational Inertia over a Curved Surface with Variable Thermophysical Properties

This work presents a numerical investigation of viscous nanofluid flow over a curved stretching surface. Single-walled carbon nanotubes were taken as a solid constituent of the nanofluids. Dynamic viscosity was assumed to be an inverse function of fluid temperature. The problem is modeled with the help of a generalized theory of Eringen Micropolar fluid in a curvilinear coordinates system. The governing systems of non-linear partial differential equations consist of mass flux equation, linear momentum equations, angular momentum equation, and energy equation. The transformed ordinary differential equations for linear and angular momentum along with energy were solved numerically with the help of the Keller box method. Numerical and graphical results were obtained to analyze the flow characteristic. It is perceived that by keeping the dynamic viscosity temperature dependent, the velocity of the fluid away from the surface rose in magnitude with the values of the magnetic parameter, while the couple stress coefficient decreased with rising values of the magnetic parameter.
