The aim of this work is to present a natural convective and squeezing flow model of two-dimensional couple stress nanofluid which is flowing on the sensory surface with variable fluid viscosity. The fluid flowing on a microcantilever sensory surface and squeezing is happening at free stream. The sensor is also useful to detect the movement of fluid and the variations in thermal and solutal rates. The Cattaneo–Christov model is adopted along with nanoparticle and chemical reaction to explore the transmission of heat and mass rates. The analysis of heat transmission in non-Newtonian couple stress fluid flowing on squeezed sensory surface by using the Cattaneo–Christov heat conduction model has various industrial and scientific applications including the polymer processing, wastewater treatment, chemical reactors, biomedical flows, cooling and heating processes in industries, heat exchangers, microfluidics, oil and gas industries. All the assumptions are applied in the basic governing laws laws and then we get the model of the partial differential equations. The governing model of equations is transmuted into ordinary differential equations form via the transformations and then the numerical results of these ODE’s are examined with a well-defined numerical technique “Shooting Method”. For higher inputs of couple stress, squeezing index and permeability velocity, the fluid’s internal velocity decreases. Because of the Prandtl number and thermal relaxation coefficient, the heat transfer mechanism slows down. Mass transfer increases for greater inputs of the thermal diffusivity coefficient and decreases due to concentration relaxation. Further, the numerical dependency of emerging parameters on the skin friction is illustrated in tabular form. The parametric effects on the model (velocity, temperature and concentration) are introduced using numerical values shown in the table. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The peristaltic transport of Carreau-Yasuda fluid model over a sinusoidal medium of non-Newtonian nano flow is examined. In this analysis, the channel walls are considered as ciliated with the higher and lower walls. The formulation of the 2D fluid model depends on the nonlinear (PDEs) that are transformed into simple ordinary (ODEs) by applying the dimensionless parameters and long-wavelength approximation. The numerical solution of the 2D system is taken out by applying the MATHEMATICA solver NDSolve function. The impact of various parameters, such as, flow rate parameter F , wave-length number δ , Brownian motion number N b , thermophoresis number N t , and account of eccentricity α on the velocity profile, temperature distribution, and concentration distribution and stream function are addressed with graphs.
