Mass transfer effects on mucus fluid in the presence of chemical reaction

Abstract: The mucus fluid vehicle is impacted by the synthetic response that changes the physical science of liquid due to the thickness of the bodily fluid. Additionally, various issues in the respiratory system might happen because of bodily fluid adequacy. A central point of transportation of immunizations to forestall COVID-19 is the concentration level expected during movement, stockpiling, and dispersion. The current review stated that mucus fluid transportation is restrained through magnetic force originating due to heat variation. Permeable channel over respiratory disease and chemicals due to mass reaction–diffusion variation. The bodily fluid development is surveyed by the force, energy, and diffusion condition influence of body powers because of attractive field, source of heat cause of thermal conduction, resistance due to disease chemical reaction cause of concentration profile. The nonlinear arrangement of incomplete differential conditions is addressed by the Laplace transform technique, and MATLAB programming outcomes are initiated for momentum, temperature, and diffusion fields and inferred that the bodily fluid stream decelerates due to magnetic force. The skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and the microorganism’s thickness are assessed and explained exhaustively. Furthermore, microorganisms are occupied in different elements to survey the mucus fluid mechanism.

A mathematical framework for the dynamic interaction of pulsatile blood, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract: Shedding light on less-known aspects of intracranial fluid dynamics may be helpful to understand the hydrocephalus mechanism. The present study suggests a mathematical framework based on in vivo inputs to compare the dynamic interaction of pulsatile blood, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the healthy subject and the hydrocephalus patient.The input data for the mathematical formulations was pulsatile blood velocity, which was measured using cine PC-MRI. Tube law was used to transfer the created deformation by blood pulsation in the vessel circumference to the brain domain. The pulsatile deformation of brain tissue with respect to time was calculated and considered to be inlet velocity in the CSF domain. The governing equations in all three domains were continuity, Navier-Stokes, and concentration. We used Darcy law with defined permeability and diffusivity values to define the material properties in the brain.We validated the preciseness of the CSF velocity and pressure through the mathematical formulations with cine PC-MRI velocity, experimental ICP, and FSI simulated velocity and pressure. We used the analysis of dimensionless numbers including Reynolds, Womersley, Hartmann, and Peclet to evaluate the characteristics of the intracranial fluid flow. In the mid-systole phase of a cardiac cycle, CSF velocity had the maximum value and CSF pressure had the minimum value. The maximum and amplitude of CSF pressure, as well as CSF stroke volume, were calculated and compared between the healthy subject and the hydrocephalus patient.The present in vivo-based mathematical framework has the potential to gain insight into the less-known points in the physiological function of intracranial fluid dynamics and the hydrocephalus mechanism.

Mass Transfer Effects on the Mucus Fluid with Pulsatile Flow Influence of the Electromagnetic Field

Abstract: The influence of pulsatile flow on the oscillatory motion of an incompressible conducting boundary layer mucus fluid flowing through porous media in a channel with elastic walls is investigated. The oscillatory flow is treated as a cyclical time-dependent flux. The Laplace transform method using the Womersley number is used to solve non-linear equations controlling the motion through porous media under the influence of an electromagnetic field. The theoretical pulsatile flow of two liquid phase concurrent fluid streams, one kinematic and the other viscoelastic, is investigated in this study. To extend the model for various physiological fluids, we postulate that the viscoelastic fluid has several distinct periods. We also apply our analytical findings to mucus and airflow in the airways, identifying the wavelength that increases dynamic mucus permeability. The microorganism’s thickness, velocity, energy, molecular diffusion, skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and Hartmann number are evaluated. Discussion is also supplied in various sections to investigate the mucosal flow process.

Arrhenius activation energy of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid over a cone with radiation absorption

Abstract: This study focuses on an incompressible non-Newtonian nanofluid in a 2-dimensional transient boundary layer through a cone. The Arrhenius activation energy and radiation absorption are both accounted for the non-Newtonian nanofluid model. The Runge-Kutta integration method via ODE45 MATLAB bvp4c is used and the converted coupled nonlinear equations are solved numerically. The numerical results are obtained for the nanoparticle concentration temperature, velocity distributions and also Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction for different values of the parameters, specifically the convection parameter, Prandtl number, nanofluid parameters and Lewis number. Also there are some discussions over the dependence of the thermophysical characteristics on these factors. Analyzing the impacts of activation energy and radiation absorption is a new approach which is the main novelty of this study. As results when the activation energy parameter has higher values, the skin friction decreases, but the Nusselt value and the Sherwood value exhibits reverse tendency. Skin-friction and the Sherwood value both are increasing as the values of the radiation absorption parameter go up, but the Nusselt number exhibits the reverse pattern. We compared the outcomes of our study with previous works to show the efficiency of this research.

Long-term recovery behavior of brain tissue in hydrocephalus patients after shunting

Abstract: Abstract The unpredictable complexities in hydrocephalus shunt outcomes may be related to the recovery behavior of brain tissue after shunting. The simulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) velocity and intracranial pressure (ICP) over 15 months after shunting were validated by experimental data. The mean strain and creep of the brain had notable changes after shunting and their trends were monotonic. The highest stiffness of the hydrocephalic brain was in the first consolidation phase (between pre-shunting to 1 month after shunting). The viscous component overcame and damped the input load in the third consolidation phase (after the fifteenth month) and changes in brain volume were stopped. The long-intracranial elastance (long-IE) changed oscillatory after shunting and there was not a linear relationship between long-IE and ICP. We showed the long-term effect of the viscous component on brain recovery behavior of hydrocephalic brain. The results shed light on the brain recovery mechanism after shunting and the mechanisms for shunt failure.

Performance of magnetic dipole contribution on ferromagnetic non-Newtonian radiative MHD blood flow: An application of biotechnology and medical sciences

Abstract: Casson flow ferromagnetic liquid blood flow over stretching region is studied numerically. The domain is influence by radiation and blood flow velocity and thermal slip conditions. Blood acts an impenetrable magneto-dynamic liquid yields governing equations. The conservative governing nonlinear partial differential equations, reduced to ODEs by the help of similarity translation technique. The transport equations were transformed into first order ODEs and the resultant system are solved with help of 4th order R-K scheme. Performing a magnetic dipole with a Casson flow across a stretched region with Brownian motion and Thermophoresis is novelty of the problem. Significant applications of the study in some spheres are metallurgy, extrusion of polymers, production in papers and rubber manufactured sheets. Electronics, analytical instruments, medicine, friction reduction, angular momentum shift, heat transmission, etc. are only few of the many uses for ferromagnetic fluids. As ferromagnetic interaction parameter value improves, the skin-friction, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers depreciates. A comparative study of the present numerical scheme for specific situations reveals a splendid correlation with earlier published work. A change in blood flow velocity magnitude has been noted due to Casson parameter. Increasing change in blood flow temperature noted due to Casson parameter. Skin-friction strengthened and Nusselt number is declined with Casson parameter. The limitation of current work is a non-invasive magnetic blood flow collection system using commercially available magnetic sensors instead of SQUID or electrodes.

A chemical engineering application on hyperbolic tangent flow examination about sphere with Brownian motion and thermo phoresis effects using BVP5C

Abstract: Brownian motion and thermophoresis impacts are discussed in relation to a tangent hyperbolic fluid encircling a sphere subject to a convective boundary condition and a Biot number. Concentration boundary conditions involving a wall normal flow of zero nanoparticles are an unexplored area of research. The governing non-linear BVP is transformed into a higher-order non-linear ODE using similarity transformations. Following equations were numerically solved for various values of emerging parameters using the matlab function bvp5c. Calculated values for velocity, concentration, temperature, the skin friction coefficient, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are all shown, tabulated for analysis. Laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer from a sphere in two-dimensional nano fluid is the novelty of the current work. The Weissenberg number decreases the velocity boundary layer thickness. The Biot number parameter lowers the field's temperature and speed.

Regularity criteria for a two dimensional Erying-Powell fluid flowing in a MHD porous medium

Abstract: The intention and novelty in the presented study were to develop the regularity analysis for a parabolic equation describing a type of Eyring-Powell fluid flow in two dimensions. We proved that, under certain general conditions involving the space of bounded mean oscillation ($ BMO $) and the Lebesgue space $ L^2 $, there exist bounded and regular velocity solutions under the $ L^{2} $ space scope. This conclusion was additionally supplemented by the condition of a finite square integrable initial data (also some of the obtained expressions involved the gradient and the laplacian of the initial velocity distribution). To make our results further general, the proposed analysis was extended to cover regularity results in $ L^{p}\left(p > 2\right) $ spaces. As a remarkable conclusion, we highlight that the solutions to the two dimensional Eyring-Powell fluid flow did not exhibit blow up behaviour.
