Magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid over a rotating disk by considering Arrhenius energy

This research work explores the effect of hybrid nanoparticles on the flow over a rotating disk by using an activation energy model. Here, we considered molybdenum disulfide and ferro sulfate as nanoparticles suspended in base fluid water. The magnetic field is pragmatic normal to the hybrid nanofluid flow direction. The derived nonlinear ordinary differential equations are nondimensionalized and worked out numerically with the help of Maple software by the RKF-45method. The scientific results for a non-dimensionalized equation are presented for both nanoparticle and hybrid nanoparticle case. Accoutrements of various predominant restrictions on flow and thermal fields are scanned. Computation estimation for friction factor, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also executed. Results reveal that the reduction of the heat transfer rate is greater in hybrid nanoparticles when compared to nanoparticles for increasing values of Eckert Number and the thermal field enhances for the enhanced values of volume fraction.

Unsteady radiative nanofluid flow near a vertical heated wavy surface with temperature-dependent viscosity

In the present contribution, a numerical treatment is provided to describe unsteady nanofluid flow near a vertical heated wavy surface. A memorable feature of the present work is the investigation of nanofluid flow associated with thermal radiation that acts as a catalyst for heat transfer rates. Likewise, the effectiveness of variable viscosity is examined as it controls fluid flow as well as heat transfer. It is necessary to study heat and mass transfer for complex geometries because predicting heat and mass transfer for irregular surfaces is a topic of fundamental importance, and irregular surfaces frequently appear in many applications, such as flat-plate solar collectors and flat-plate condensers in refrigerators. A simple coordinate transformation from the wavy surface into a flat one is employed. The non-dimensional boundary layer equations that governing both heat transfer and nanofluid flow phenomena along the wavy surface are solved via a powerful numerical approach called the implicit Chebyshev pseudospectral (ICPS) method with Mathematica code. A comparison graph of the current numerical computation and the published data shows a perfect match. Figures depict the effect of various physical parameters on nanofluid velocities, temperature, salt concentration, nanoparticle concentration, skin friction, Sherwood, nanoparticle Sherwood, and Nusselt numbers. According to the numerical results, increasing the variable viscosity parameter value causes a drop in the local skin friction coefficient value and an increase in the steady-state axial nanofluid velocity profile near the wavy surface. Furthermore, as heat radiation is increased, the local Nusselt number decreases but the nanoparticle Sherwood number increases.

In this article, we consider the effects of double diffusion on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Carreau fluid flow through a porous medium along a stretching sheet. Variable thermal conductivity and suction/injection parameter effects are also taken into the consideration. Similarity transformations are utilized to transform the equations governing the Carreau fluid flow model to dimensionless non-linear ordinary differential equations. Maple software is utilized for the numerical solution. These solutions are then presented through graphs. The velocity, concentration, temperature profile, skin friction coefficient, and the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers under the impact of different parameters are studied. The fluid flow is analyzed for both suction and injection cases. From the analysis carried out, it is observed that the velocity profile reduces by increasing the porosity parameter while it enhances both the temperature and concentration profile. The temperature field enhances with increasing the variable thermal conductivity and the Nusselt number exhibits opposite behavior.

Magnetic impact on heat and mass transfer utilizing nonofluid in an annulus between a superellipse obstacle and a cavity with periodic side-wall temperature and concentration

The magnetic impacts upon the transport of heat and mass of an electrically conducting nanofluid within an annulus among an inner rhombus with convex and outer cavity with periodic temperature/concentration profiles on its left wall are assessed by the ISPH method. The right wall has ${T}_{c}$ and ${C}_{c},$ flat walls are adiabatic, and the temperature and concentration of the left wall are altered sinusoidally with time. The features of the heat and mass transfer and fluid flow through an annulus are assessed across a wide scale of Hartmann number $Ha,$ Soret number $Sr,$ oscillation amplitude $A,$ Dufour number $Du,$ nanoparticles parameter $\phi ,$ oscillation frequency $f,$ Rayleigh number $Ra,$ and radius of a superellipse $a$ at Lewis number $Le=20,$ magnetic field's angle $\gamma =45^\circ ,$ Prandtl number ${\Pr }=6.2,$ a superellipse coefficient $n=3/2,$ and buoyancy parameter $N=1.$ The results reveal that the velocity's maximum reduces by $70.93 \% $ as $Ha$ boosts from 0 to 50, and by $66.24 \% $ as coefficient $a$ boosts from $0.1$ to $0.4.$ Whilst the velocity's maximum augments by $83.04 \% $ as $Sr$ increases from 0.6 to 2 plus a decrease in $Du$ from 1 to 0.03. The oscillation amplitude $A,$ and frequency $f$ are significantly affecting the nanofluid speed, and heat and mass transfer inside an annulus. Increasing the parameters $A$ and $f$ is augmenting the values of mean Nusselt number $\overline{Nu}$ and mean Sherwood number $\overline{Sh}.$ Increasing the radius of a superellipse $a$ enhances the values of $\overline{Nu}$ and $\overline{Sh}.$
