Investigation on TiO2–Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid with slip conditions in MHD peristaltic flow of Jeffrey material

TL;DR: In this article, a dimensionless model for peristaltic transport of MHD hybrid nanofluids (TiO2-Cu/H2O) in an asymmetric channel is presented.
Abstract: Slippage impacton peristaltic transport of MHD hybrid nanofluids (TiO2–Cu/H2O) in an asymmetric channel is addressed. Impact of viscous dissipation and Hall current are analyzed in the modeling as well. Constitutive expressions for viscoelastic Jeffery fluid are employed. The mathematical expressions of the problem are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by employing appropriate quantities. Well-known long wavelength assumption is invoked. The obtained dimensionless model is then numerically solved with the help of Adams–Bashforth method. The effects of sundry parameters on flow distributions are demonstrated via plots.

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of unsteady viscous flow in a squeezing channel was examined by inserting hybrid nanofluid particles with different shapes into the base fluid engine oil.
Abstract: The present study examines the impact of unsteady viscous flow in a squeezing channel. Silver–gold hybrid nanofluid particles with different shapes are inserted in the base fluid engine oil. Flow and heat transfer mechanism is detected in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics between the two parallel infinite plates. The thermal conductivity models, that is, Yamada–Ota and Hamilton–Crosser models are used to investigate various shapes (Blade, platelet, cylinder, and brick) of hybrid nanoparticles. The model is made up of paired high nonlinear partial differential equations that are then transformed into ordinary differential equations which are coupled and strong nonlinear using the boundary layer approximation. The MATLAB solver bvp4c package is used to solve the numerical solution of this coupled system. The influence of different parameters on the physical quantities is addressed via graphs. A comparison with already reported results is given in order to confirm the current findings. The analysis shows that surprisingly the Yamada–Ota model of the Hybrid nanofluid gains high temperature and velocity profile than the Hamilton–Crosser model of the hybrid nanofluid. Also, both the models show increasing trends toward increasing the volume fraction rate of silver‐gold hybrid nanoparticles. It is also inferred that the hybrid‐nanoparticles performance is far better than the common nanofluids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of thermal radiation and activation energy are also considered for dispersing the nanoparticles within base fluid is a newly approach for implementations of heat transfer and biomedicine/bioengineering.
Abstract: The nanoparticles proved a motivating research area in the fourth generation of the world due to their extensive use in science and infrastructure, such as vehicle cooling, higher heat transfer rates in microchips, food manufacturing, biotechnology, biochemistry, transportation, metrology and nuclear reactors. Dispersing the nanoparticles within base fluid is a newly approach for implementations of heat transfer and biomedicine/bioengineering. The current determination is committed to explore the features of bioconvection in Carreau nanofluid flow under the influence of various thermal consequences. The flow is originated by a stretched cylinder. The characteristics of Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux are applied to examine the heat/mass transportation of nanofluid. The effects of thermal radiation and activation energy are also considered. The consequences of Brownian movement and thermophoresis features are analyzed by incorporating Buongiorno’s nanofluid model. The governing partial differential equations are transmuted into the structure of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by introducing suitable transformation. The shooting technique is used to achieve the numerical simulations of nonlinear system. The physical impacts of prominent parameters on velocity, temperature distribution, concentration field and microorganisms profile are examined and captured graphically. The numerical outcomes against various flow quantities are also presented in tabular form. The results convey that a higher temperature profile is observed with larger values of thermal Biot number, exponential base sink parameter and thermal relaxation parameter while a decrement in temperature is noticed with increasing mixed convection parameter. The concentration profile shows an increasing trend with mass concentration parameter and concentration relaxation parameter. Moreover, the microorganism field decline with Peclet number and bioconvection Lewis number.

TL;DR: The present analysis deals with the entropy analysis of the blood flow through an anisotropically tapered arteries under the suspension of magnetic Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) and the present outcomes are enriched to give valuable information for the research scientists in the field biomedical science.
Abstract: The present analysis deals with the entropy analysis of the blood flow through an anisotropically tapered arteries under the suspension of magnetic Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs). The Jeffrey fluid model is contemplated as blood that is electrically conducting and incompressible. The lubrication approach is used for the mathematical modeling. The second law of thermodynamics is used to examine the entropy generation. The exact solutions are obtained against velocity and temperature profile with the use of computational software. The results for Entropy, Velocity, Bejan number, temperature profile, and impedance profile are discussed by plotting the graphs. ZnO-NPs have promising applications in biomedical engineering due to its low toxicity, economically reliable, and excellent biocompatibility. ZnO-NPs also emerged in medicine i.e., antibacterial and anticancer activity, and also beneficial in antidiabetic treatment. The monitoring of the blood temperature in the case of the tapered artery has supreme importance in controlling the temperature of blood in the living environment. The presence of a magnetic field is advantageous to manage and control the blood motion at different temperatures. The present outcomes are enriched to give valuable information for the research scientists in the field biomedical science, who are looking to examine the blood flow with stenosis conditions and also beneficial in treating multiple diseases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the hydrothermal features of both hybrid and usual nanofluid flow over a slippery permeable bent structure, where Ferrous and graphene nanoparticles along with the host fluid water were taken to simulate the flow.
Abstract: The present investigation concentrates on the hydrothermal features of both hybrid nanofluid and usual nanofluid flow over a slippery permeable bent structure. The surface has also been considered to be coiled inside the circular section of radius R. Ferrous and graphene nanoparticles along with the host fluid water are taken to simulate the flow. The existence of heat sink/source and thermal radiation are incorporated within the system. Resulting equations are translated into its non-dimensional form using similarity renovation and solved by the RK-4 method. The consequence of pertinent factors on the flow profile is explored through graphs and tables. Streamlines and isotherms for both hybrid nanofluid and usual nanofluid are depicted to show the hydrothermal variations. The result communicates that temperature is reduced for curvature factor, whereas velocity is found to be accelerated. Heat transfer is intensified for thermal Biot number, and the rate of increment is higher for hybrid nanosuspension. Velocity and temperature are intensified for enhanced nanoparticle concentration. The heat transport process is decreased for the heat source parameter, but the reduction rate is comparatively slower for hybrid nanofluid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate an approach for augmenting heat transfer through porous media subjected to nonuniform heating during the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a hybrid nanofluid of Cu-Al2O3/water.
Abstract: The intent of this study is to demonstrate an approach for augmenting heat transfer through porous media subjected to nonuniform heating during the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a hybrid nanofluid of Cu–Al2O3/water. The efficacy of such a heating technique is examined utilizing a classical flow geometry consisting of a square cavity. The heating is made at the bottom following a half-sinusoidal function of different frequencies, along with the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The thermal conditions of the cavity, particularly at the bottom wall, drive thermo-hydrodynamics and associated heat transfer. Furthermore, the addition of different types of nanoparticles to the base liquid in order to boost the thermal performance of conventional fluids and mono-nanofluids is a current technique. The coupled nonlinear governing equations are solved numerically in dimensionless forms adapting the finite volume approach, the Brinkman–Forchheimer–Darcy model, local thermal equilibrium and single-phase model. The study is conducted for wide ranges of parametric impacts to analyze global heat transfer performance. The results of this study reveal that the multi-frequency spatial heating during hybrid nanofluid flow can be utilized as a powerful means to improve the thermal performance of a system operating under different ranges of parameters, even with the presence of porous media and magnetic fields. In addition to different heating frequencies, the variations in amplitude (I) and superposed uniform temperature ( $$\theta_{\text{os}}$$ ) to half-sinusoidal heating are also examined thoughtfully in the analysis for different concentrations of Cu–Al2O3 nanoparticles. Compared to the base liquid, the hybrid nanofluid can contribute toward higher heat transfer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of peristaltic wave propagation on the flow of fluid in a tube and showed that the theoretical pressure rise per wavelength decreases linearly with increasing time-mean flow and that the percentage of reflux flow can be very high.
Abstract: Pumping by means of an infinite train of peristaltic waves is investigated under conditions for which the relevant Reynolds number is small enough for inertial effects to be negligible and the wavelength to diameter ratio is large enough for the pressure to be considered uniform over the cross-section. Theoretical results are presented for both plane and axisymmetric geometries, and for amplitude ratios ranging from zero to full occlusion. For a given amplitude ratio, the theoretical pressure rise per wavelength decreases linearly with increasing time-mean flow. An experiment with a quasi-two-dimensional apparatus confirmed the theoretical values.Calculations of the detailed fluid motions reveal that under many conditions of operation the net time-mean flow is the algebraic difference between a forward time-mean flow in the core of the tube and a backward (‘reflux’) time-mean flow near the periphery. The percentage of reflux flow can be very high. This reflux phenomenon is probably of physiologic significance in the functioning of the ureter and the gastro-intestinal system. A second fluid-mechanical peculiarity with physiological implications is that of ‘trapping’: under certain conditions an internally circulating bolus of fluid, lying about the axis, is transported with the wave speed as though it were trapped by the wave.

Abstract: Abstract An emerging concept of hybrid nanofluid with a new improved model of its thermophysical properties are introduced in the present work. Hybrid nanofluid is an advanced type of conventional heat transfer fluids, which has been employed for the enhancement of heat transfer rate. Two distinct fluids, namely hybrid nanofluid (Cu−Al2O3/water)$({\\rm{Cu - A}}{{\\rm{l}}_{\\rm{2}}}{{\\rm{O}}_{\\rm{3}}}{\\rm{/water}})$ and nanofluid (Cu/water) are used to investigate the parametric features of the flow and heat transfer phenomena over a permeable stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field. The effects of various physical parameters and effecting physical quantities of interest are analyzed. From this study it is observed that the heat transfer rate of hybrid nanofluid (Cu−Al2O3/water)$({\\rm{Cu - A}}{{\\rm{l}}_{\\rm{2}}}{{\\rm{O}}_{\\rm{3}}}{\\rm{/water}})$ is higher than that of Nanofluid (Cu/water) under magnetic field environment. More combinations of different nanocomposites can be tried so that the desired heat transfer rate can be achieved.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D model in 3D is employed to examine the impact of thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction over a stretching sheet in the presence of rotation.
Abstract: Nanofluids are of great importance to researchers as they have significant uses industrially due to their high heat transfer rates. Recently, a new class of nanofluid, “hybrid nanofluid” is being used to further enhance the heat transfer rate. This new model in 3D is employed to examine the impact of thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction over stretching sheet in the presence of rotation. It is concluded from the current research that even in the presence of radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction the heat transfer rate of Hybrid nanofluid is higher than the simple nanofluid.
