Fluids like hybrid nanofluids have great potential that present exceptional thermal behavior and thermophysical properties as compare to ordinary nanofluids. Hybrid nanofluids are obtained by the mixture of two different nanoparticles in a base fluid. Many scholars stated that hybrid-nanofluids could be replaced by conventional coolants, especially fluids which work at high temperature. Therefore, these kinds of nanofluids are less damaging for environmental impact and also lead to save energy. The main idea of hybrid nanofluids is to develop performance of heat transfer and its advantages has directed to comparatively good hope for its applications. The objective of present article is to examine 3D stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid passes along a stretchable heated wavy cylinder under the impact of variable thickness and slip conditions. For this purpose we consider alloy particles of AA7075 + AA7072 and AA7072 which are suspended in methanol liquid. The alloy particles merged in this analysis are entirely manufactured materials as well as possessing higher heat transfer characteristics. Alloy AA7072 is a combination of zinc and aluminum in ratio 1:98 with addition of metals like silicon, copper and ferrous. Similarly, alloy AA7075 is a combination of zinc, aluminum, copper and magnesium in ratio −6, −9, −1 and −3 respectively with addition of metals like silicon, magnesium and ferrous. The scenario of this model is scrutinized mathematically by captivating induced magnetic field with in the domain of thermal boundary layer. Similarity transformations are deployed to change the governing equations into nonlinear ODEs and consequently solved this system through bvp4c solver. The impact of emerging parameters on velocity, induction and energy distributions are examined through graphical depiction. Furthermore, heat transfer rates and drag forces near the boundary are designed numerically in tabular form. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transient MHD flow in Carreau–Yasuda nanofluid produced by impulsively started rotating disk is examined in the occurrence of Darcy–Forchheimer and chemical reactive species considering conventional Fourier's and Fick's laws. Appropriate transformations are used to transform the constitutive equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solve by using improved form of RK-4 Fehlberg scheme (Cash and Karp). The deviation in flow field due to velocity, friction factor, temperature, heat diffusion rate, nanoparticle concentration, and mass transfer rate is analyzed subsequent to various ambient parameters appearing in the problem. The results of the study reveal that Weissenberg number appearing in the equations leads to deceleration of the radial and tangential velocities while the power law index tends to accelerate the radial and tangential velocities.

Current analysis is devoted to explore the computational aspects of variable viscosity on Williamson nanofluid over a non-linear stretching sheet. Viscosity of the fluid is assumed to be depend on temperature and due to thermal stratification, viscosity of the fluid also depends upon thermal diffusion. The basic mathematical problem (system of PDEs) is converted into non-linear ODEs via applying suitable transformations. Computational solutions of the problem is achieved by efficient numerical approach (shooting method). Characteristics of controlling parameters i.e. Lewis number, thermophoresis parameter, Hartmann number, plastic dynamic viscosity parameter, Weissenberg number, Prandtl number, stretching index, Brownian motion parameter, Prandtl number, thermal and solutal stratification parameters are plotted on concentration, velocity and temperature gradients. Furthermore friction factor coefficient, heat and mass diffusion rates are presented through graphs and tables. Conclusions are made on the basis of entire investigation and it is seen that velocity profile reduces for large values of variable viscosity and thermal stratification parameters while thermal stratification parameter shows opposite behavior for temperature profile. Moreover, concentration profile reduces for enhancing values of Lewis number and increases for large values of stretching velocity parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This exploration deals with the interaction of inclined MHD peristaltic transport of lignin based hybrid nano-fluid flow in a wavy microfluidic inclined channel. The channel is filled with lignin based hybrid nano-fluid Mo S 2 - S i O 2. Both the left and right walls are kept at uniform temperature having wavy shape. Impact of zeta potentials at the left and right walls are examined. The governing equations are solved for hybrid nanofluid Mo S 2 - S i O 2 by utilizing RK-4 based shooting method. Influence of engrossed parameters on the flow characteristics has been discussed via graphs. Range of engrossed parameters are taken as M = 0.1 , 1 , 1.4. n = 10 , 10.5 , 11. ϕ 1 = ϕ 2 = 0.001 , 2.5 , 2.7. ξ 1 = ξ 2 = - 0.12 , - 0.13 , - 0.14. . Based on numerical experiments, it is concluded that the velocity profile is significantly affected by nanoparticle volume fraction parameter. Moreover, the inclined magnetic parameter retards the motion of lignin based hybrid nanoliquid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The flow of 2-D cross fluid model with mass and heat transmission over a linearly stretched sheet is analyzed in this paper. Furthermore, we have expanded our study by considering the effects of MHD flow, stagnation point, double stratification, heat generation, radiation effect, nanofluid flow, activation energy and mass diffusion. This type of study has not being investigated previously in literature. The flow generating PDEs are altered into ODEs by deploying suitable transformations. The effects of the parameters involved, namely the Weissenberg number, magnetic field coefficient, Brownian motion coefficient, radiation parameter, Damkohler number, thermophoresis coefficient, Schmidt number, activation energy, heat generation parameter and temperature difference coefficient on the velocity, concentration and energy fields are thoroughly scrutinized. The problem is solved through numerical technique (BVP4c) on MATLAB. The outcomes reveal that the velocity curve upsurges for rising Weissenberg number and decreases due to magnetic parameter. The heat field improves for increasing behavior of the Brownian motion, thermophoresis, heat generation, thermal conductivity and radiation coefficient whereas reverse results are obtained due to Prandtl number and stratification parameter. The concentration improves due to thermophoresis parameter and diffusivity coefficient while reverse outcomes are noticed due to Schmidt number, Damkohler number, temperature difference parameter and Brownian motion parameter.

When an object moves alongside a curved surface, it shows a curvilinear motion. The perception of curvilinear motion is majorly used in applications which are associated with centripetal and centrifugal forces. In this analysis, we studied the behaviour of nano-fluid and hybrid nano-fluid via curved surface with combined effects of heat generation and porous medium. For nano-fluid the combination of base fluid methanol and nano-particles AA7075 are assumed, while for hybrid nano-fluid base fluid methanol and nano-particles AA7075+AA7072 are used. AA7072 is mixture of zinc and alumina with some metals like copper, silicon and ferrous. Similarly AA7075 is mixture of magnesium, alumina and zinc with metals copper, silicon and ferrous. The partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. With the help of MATLAB software we used Bvp4c method to draw the graphs of the resulting equations and also we discuss the effect of solid volume fraction φ 1 , φ 2 , curvature parameter λ , Heat generation ω and porous medium ε for nano-fluid and hybrid nano-fluid. By enhancing the curvature parameter and volume fraction the temperature and velocity profile also enhances while the velocity profile reduces for porous medium and temperature profile increases for heat generation parameter. Nusselt number and skin friction effects are studied in the form of tables. An entropy generation analysis is also conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study of 2D non-Newtonian Sutterby nanofluid flow under the effects of magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD) over the paraboloid surface is investigated here. The upper part of aircraft, submarine, bullet, and car's bonnet are some samples of the paraboloid surface. The movement of these things depends in boundary layer which is formed within the space on it. The reaction between catalyst at the surface and Sutterby nanofluid yields substantial temperature differences consequently made buoyancy-driven flow in the boundary layer region. First-order activation energy is assumed to model the reaction on the catalyst surface that is sited on the paraboloid surface which starts the free convection. The main prevailing equations are reduced by using appropriate dimensionless variables. The numerical solutions of the dimensionless determining equations are achieved by adopting the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg ("RKF") method. The graphical outcomes of the velocity field depend on the dimensionless quantities such as the Deborah number De ,Hartmann number Ha , temperature and concentration-dependent buoyancy parameters i.e. (G t , G s). The contribution of the thermophoresis coefficient Nt , Prandtl number Pr and Brownian motion parameter Nb is examined for the temperature field. Also the effects of Schmidt number Sc are analyzed for the concentration field. We found that both Deborah number and Hartmann number (De , Ha) provide a decrease in the velocity field. The extreme velocity of the fluid is calculated when the fluid flow is categorized as Newtonian fluid i.e. (De = 0). The numerical outcomes of skin friction, local mass transfer rate and local heat transfer rate are also calculated. A detailed comparison with the numerical method is also given to validate the current results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• A hybrid nanofluid study is examined in a sinusoidal wavy channel. • Heat generation effects are also analyzed. • Long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximation is assumed. • SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O Phenomena is taken. • Perturbation method is used to calculate the solution of the problem. The peristaltic transport of hybrid nanofluid (SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O) flow in a sinusoidal wavy channel under the heat generation effect is reported in present analysis. We have simplified two dimensional equations of hybrid nanofluid for peristaltic transport by using long wavelength (δ ≪ 1) and small Reynolds (Re) number assumptions. We also modeled temperature equation for hybrid nanofluid flow with the effect of heat generation. The two dimensional peristaltic flow equations of (SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O) are analytically solved by using perturbation method. The numerical integration and solutions of governing two dimensional equations are obtained in Mathematica software. The graphically behavior of solutions for temperature, pressure rise, streamlines and pressure gradient are elucidated with Matlab software. It is noticed that the pressure rise for hybrid nanofluid (SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O) increases for both amplitudes (a and b), solid fractional volume (ξ 1) and heat generation (β). We observe that higher pressure gradient requires to retain same flux in narrow part of sinusoidal channel, also due to increase of amplitudes (a and b) pressure gradient increases. Moreover size of trapping bolus decreases by increase of channel width d and increases due to increase of heat generation parameter β. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An investigation is made to examine the influence of chemically reactive species and mixed convection on the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Williamson nanofluid induced by a nonisothermal cone and plate in porous medium. In the boundary layer region, nanoparticles deliver potentials in increasing the impact of convective heat transfer. Joule heating effect is also considered. Similarity transformations are used to convert the coupled partial differential equations into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. The transformed governing nonlinear boundary layer equations are solved numerically by using amended form of Fehlberg's method. It is adequate to discuss several physical mechanisms such as analytical velocity, temperature and concentration profiles and also closed-form skin friction/mass transfer/heat transfer coefficients, all as given in the present analysis. The numerical results acquired for several physical mechanisms are revealed through plots for two different cases (cone and plate). It is found that temperature profile increases for large values of thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion and Eckert number, but reduces for large values of Prandtl number. Moreover, concentration profile reduces for large values of Lewis number and Brownian motion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent study illustrates the systematic survey of boundary layer heat and mass diffusion (Cattaneo-Christov model) of Jeffery fluid passed by an inclined stretching surface in the occurrence of magnetic field. Prevailing non-linear PDEs are converted into non-linear ODEs and then the problem is solved via RK-4 technique (using coefficients of Cash and Craps). The related important physical parameters such as M magnetic parameter, λ T thermal buoyancy parameter, λ C concentration buoyancy parameter, γ inclined stretching sheet parameter, PrPrandtl number, N b Brownian motion parameter, N t thermophoresis parameter and Le Lewis number are plotted graphically for velocity, temperature and concentration distributions. In order to check the double diffusive phenomenon, the impact of fluid relaxation parameter δ m , thermal relaxation parameter δ e and nanoparticle concentration relaxation parameter δ c are reflected through tables and graphs. The main theme of present article is to explore its unique attempt towards the generalized version of conventional Fourier's law and Fick's law at nanostructure level. Assumption is drawn on the source of entire analysis and it is clear that the velocity and temperature profiles reduces for increasing values of fluid relaxation parameter, inclined sheet, magnetic field and Prandtl number.
