In the present study, heat transfer and fluid flow of a pseudo-plastic non-Newtonian nanofluid over permeable surface has been solved in the presence of injection and suction. Similarity solution method is utilized to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations, which then is solved numerically using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth order (RKF45) method. The Cu, CuO, TiO2 and Al2O3 nanoparticles are considered in this study along with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/water as base fluid. Validation has been done with former numerical results. The influence of power-law index, volume fraction of nanoparticles, nanoparticles type and permeability parameter on nanofluid flow and heat transfer was investigated. The results of the study illustrated that the flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluid in the presence of suction and injection has different behaviors. For injection and the impermeable plate, the non-Newtonian nanofluid shows a better heat transfer performance compared to Newtonian nanofluid. However, changing the type of nanoparticles has a more intense influence on heat transfer process during suction. It was also observed that in injection, contrary to the other two cases, the usage of non-Newtonian nanofluid can decrease heat transfer in all cases.

Flow and heat transfer in non-Newtonian nanofluids over porous surfaces

Heat and mass transfer in MHD non-Newtonian bio-convection flow over a rotating cone/plate with cross diffusion

The knowledge of heat transfer in MHD nanofluid flows over different geometries is very important for heat exchangers design, transpiration, fiber coating, etc. Recent days, heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluids plays a major role in manufacturing processes due to its shear thinning and thickening properties. Naturally, magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles move randomly within the base fluid. By applying the transverse magnetic field, the motion of those nanoparticles becomes uniform. This phenomenon is very useful in heat transfer processes. With this initiation, a mathematical model is developed to investigate the heat transfer behaviour of electrically conducting MHD flow of a Casson nanofluid over a cone, wedge and a plate. We consider a Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model with variable source/sink and nonlinear radiation effects. We also considered water as the base fluid suspended with magnetite nanoparticles. R-K-Felhberg-integration scheme is employed to resolve the altered governing nonlinear equations. Impacts of governing parameters on common profiles (temperature and velocity) are conversed (in three cases). By viewing the same parameters, the friction factor coefficient and heat transfer rate are discussed with the assistance of tables. It is found that the boundary layers (thermal and flow) over three geometries (cone, wedge and a plate) are not uniform. It is also found that the thermal relaxation parameter effectively enhances the heat local Nusselt number and the heat transfer performance is high in the flow over a wedge when compared with the flows over a cone and plate.

A comparative study of convective heat and mass transfer in non-Newtonian nanofluid flow past a permeable stretching sheet

This paper deals with the momentum, heat and mass transfer behaviour of MHD nanofluid flow embedded with conducting dust particles past an inclined permeable stretching sheet in presence of radiation, nonuniform heat source/sink, volume fraction of nano particles, volume fraction of dust particles and chemical reaction. We have considered Cu-water nanofluid embedding with conducting dust particles. The governing partial differential equations of the flow, heat and mass transfer are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation and solved numerically using Runge-Kuttabased shooting technique. The effects of non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed with the support of graphs. Also, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed and presented through tables. Under some special conditions present results have good agreement with the existed results. It is observed a raise in the heat transfer rate due to increase in the fluid particle interaction parameter. It is also observed that an increase in chemical reaction parameter enhances the mass transfer rate of the dusty nanofluid.

Heat and Mass Transfer in Nanofluid Flow over an Inclined Stretching Sheet with Volume Fraction of Dust and Nanoparticles

In this investigation, we analyze the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional (3D) flow of Casson fluid over a stretching sheet using non-Darcy porous medium with heat source/sink. We also consider the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and Joule effect. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable transformations and solved by using the shooting technique. The effects of the non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity and temperature profiles are discussed with the graphs. Also, the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are discussed through tables. We also validate our results with the ones already available in the literature. It is found that the obtained results are in excellent agreement with the existing studies under some special cases. Our analysis reveals that the thermal relaxation parameter reduces the temperature field for the Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. It is also found that the temperature profile is decreased in the Newtonian fluid case when compared with the non-Newtonian fluid case.

Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux on an MHD 3D Free Convection Casson Fluid Flow Over a Stretching Sheet

The dynamic structure of the magnetosphere present in the Jovian environment can be explored by detecting magnetic field of the Jovian moon. The present study provides the evidence of magnetic field variation in the Jovian moon (Callisto). The raw data of magnetic field (.lbl format) obtained from planetary plasma interactions node, at NASA’s portal has been used. Magnetic field vector and time series data were used to determine the magnetic field of the Callisto. Magnetic variation in the moon was assessed using contour plots. MATLAB has been used to generate the time series magnetic graphs of the Callisto moon. Findings revealed that magnetic field varied with changes in time in Callisto. Reverse swept in the magnetic field was observed towards the magneto tail of Jupiter. The methodology adopted in this study can be extended to assess the magnetic field of other Jovian moons also.

Investigating Time Volatility Magnetic Field of the Jovian Moon: Callisto Using Magnetometer Sensor

An infinite horizontally extended sparcely packed chemically inert porous channel flow of a Newtonian liquid is considered. The walls of the channels are assumed to be at different temperatures so that the viscosity of the fluid varies across the channel. A dimensionless variable viscosity coefficient is introduced in the Darcy–Forchheimer- Brinkman model, along with the Darcy number, Forchheimer number and the Brinkman number. A series solution is obtained for the Darcy-Forchheimer-Brinkman equation using the differential transform method (DTM). Using this solution for the fully developed flow velocity and the convective diffusion equation, the influence of the variable viscosity coefficient and the Darcy, Brinkman and Forchheimer numbers on the all-time valid dispersion coefficient is analyzed. An increase the variable viscosity parameter is to increase the dispersion coefficient while an increase in all the other parameters will decrease the dispersion coefficient. The Light hill, Taylor-Aris and Taylor dispersion coefficients are obtained as the limiting cases of the generalized dispersion coefficient.
