Nanoparticles and nonlinear thermal radiation properties in the rheology of polymeric material

Abstract: The present analysis is related to the dynamics of polymeric liquids (Oldroyd-B model) with the presence of nanoparticles. The rheological system is considered under the application of nonlinear thermal radiations. Energy and concentration equations are presented when thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects are present. Bidirectional form of stretching is considered to interpret the three-dimensional flow dynamics of polymeric liquid. Making use of the similarity transformations, problem is reduced into ordinary differential system which is approximated by using HAM. Influence of physical parameters including Deborah number, thermophoresis and Brownian motion on velocity, temperature and mass fraction expressions are plotted and analyzed. Numerical values for local Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are presented and discussed.

Numerical and analytical approach for Sakiadis rheology of generalized polymeric material with magnetic field and heat source/sink

Abstract: In this analysis, Sakiadis rheology of the generalized polymeric material has been presented with magnetic field and heat source/sink. Convective heating process with thermal radiations have been incorporated. Mathematical modeling has been performed for the conversion of physical problem into set of non-linear equations. Suitable transformations have been employed in order to convert the derived PDE into set of non-linear ODE. Analytical as well as finite difference method based numerical solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are computed. Graphical and numerical illustrations have been presented in order to analyze the behavior of involved physical quantities. Error analysis for the non-linear system has been presented in order to show the validity of the obtained results. Bar charts have been plotted to present the heat flux analysis. Tabular values of local Nusselt number are computed for the involved key parameters. Heat transfer rates against magnetic and porosity effects found to be decreased since magnetic field and porosity retard the molecular movement of the fluid particles. This controlling property of magnetic field and porosity effects have application in MHD power generation, electromagnetic casting of metals, MHD ion propulsion, etc. Moreover internal heat generation and absorption effects have opposite effects on the fluid temperature.

Cu–Al2O3–H2O hybrid nanofluid flow with melting heat transfer, irreversibility analysis and nonlinear thermal radiation

Abstract: We have investigated the influence of hybrid nanoparticles on various physical quantities in a water-based hybrid nanofluid involved in a steady and fully developed forced convective flow generated over a stretched surface. Nonlinear thermal radiation and melting heat transfer analysis are featured in this work. To obtain the solution of the governing equations, a standard transformation and numerical procedure are implemented. Then, a comprehensive discussion of the effects of the flow regime on several governing parameters is presented. The results indicated that increasing magnetic strength $$M$$ and nanoparticle volume fraction $$\phi_{1}$$ lead to a thicker thermal boundary layer. A similar trend takes place with increasing nonlinear thermal radiation while the reverse is noticed for Eckert number. The entropy generation rate increases with the increase in Brinkman number and Bejan number reduces with increasing Eckert number. The obtained results of this model closely match with those available in the literature as a limiting situation. It is demonstrated that hybrid nanofluids exhibit lower entropy generation rates. The results of this study are of importance in the assessment of the effect of some essential design parameters on heat transfer and, consequently, in the optimization of industrial processes.

Numerical Computing Paradigm for Investigation of Micropolar Nanofluid Flow Between Parallel Plates System with Impact of Electrical MHD and Hall Current

Abstract: The current study develops a novel application of numerical computing paradigm to inspect the cumulative effects of both electric and magnetic field on a micropolar nanofluid bounded by two parallel plates in a rotating system by using Adams and Explicit Runge–Kutta (RK) solvers. The steady state micropolar nanofluidics flow has been considered between parallel plates under the Hall current effect. The conventional expressions for the governing flow in terms of system of ODEs are engaged. Adams and Explicit RK-based numerical solvers have been exploited for approximate solution of the system dynamics. Accuracy, convergence and stability analyses of both numerical schemes established their correctness. The impact of the Sherwood number on the concentration profile, Nusselt number and coefficient of skin friction on temperature and velocity profiles, respectively, have been analyzed numerically along with thermophoresis investigation, rotation, Hall current and Brownian motion of micropolar nanofluid. The effect of physical quantities including viscosity, magnetic, rotating, coupling, Brownian motion, thermophoretic and micropolar fluid parameters as well as Prandtl and Schmidt numbers has been presented.

Mathematical Models of Electro-Magnetohydrodynamic Multiphase Flows Synthesis with Nano-Sized Hafnium Particles

Abstract: The multiphase fluid flow under the influence of electro-magnetohydrodynamics (EHD) is investigated in this study. The base fluid contains hafnium particles. Two illustrative models namely fluid phase and particulate phase are considered for three different geometries having great importance in both industrial and mechanical usage. The impact of pertinent parameters from different aspects is illustrated graphically with requisite discussion keeping in view their physical aspects. The stream lines are also erected to highlight their physical importance regarding the flow patterns. In addition, the paper is terminated by making a comparison with the existing literature as a limiting case of considered problem to confirm the validations of achieved results and hence found in excellent agreement. This model can be used to design and engineer for nozzle or diffuser type of injectors in the latest models of automobiles to improve their performance and reduce the consumption of fuel.
