The present mathematical model discloses the effects of Boussinesq and Rosseland approximations on unsteady 3D dynamics of water-driven hybridized nanomaterial with the movements of nanoplatelets (molybdenum disulfide, MoS 2 and graphene oxide, GO). Variable thermal conditions, namely, VST (variable surface temperature) and VHF (variable heat flux), are opted to provide temperature to the surface. MHD effects have also been used additionally to make the study more versatile. In order to transmute the transportation equations into nondimensionlized forms, similarity transformations have been adopted. The Keller-Box technique has been applied to obtain a numerical simulation of the modeled problem. The convergence of the solution for both VST and VHF cases is presented via the grid independence tactic. Thermal setup against escalating choices of power indices and nonlinear thermal radiation parameter is discussed via graphical illustrations. The rate of heat transaction has been discussed with the growing choices of mixed convection, thermal radiation, and unsteady parameters through various tabular arrangements. It is observed through the present analysis that mixed convection parameter, radiation parameter, temperature maintaining indices r , s , and unsteady parameter magnify the rate of heat transference under the control of platelet-shaped nanoparticles.

In this exploration, we decided to investigate the significance of prescribed thermal conditions on unsteady 3D dynamics of water-based radiative hybrid nanofluid with the impact of cylindrical-shaped nanosized particles (alumina ( Al 2 O 3 ) and titania (Ti O 2 )). For physical relevancy, the impact of the Lorentz force is also included. The combination of suitable variables has been used to transform the transport equations into the system of ordinary differential equations and then numerically solved via the Keller-Box approach. Graphical illustrations have been used to predict the impact of the involved parameters on the thermal setup. Convergence analysis is presented via the grid independence approach. Skin frictions and local Nusselt numbers against various choices of involved parameters are plotted and arranged in tabular forms. It is observed through the present investigation that temperature distribution is increased with the higher choices of radiation parameter 0.0 ≤ R d ≤ 2.0 and decreased with the improvement in the choices of temperature maintaining indices (i.e., − 2.0 ≤ r , s ≤ 2.0). Moreover, the thermophysical properties except specific heat for hybrid nanofluid are improved with the involvement of cylindrical-shaped nanoparticles. The temperature of the hybrid nanofluid is observed to be higher for variable thermal conditions as compared to uniform thermal conditions. Outfalls for a limited version of the report have been compared with a previous published paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An investigation of the thermal performance of water-conveying nanospheres (magnetite ( Fe 3 O 4 ) and silver (Ag)) subject to variable thermal controls, namely, variable surface temperature and variable surface normal heat flux, has been made. A bidirectionally elongating surface is used to generate an unsteady flow mechanism with the action of the Lorentz force. Derived equations of basic laws are firstly nondimensionalized and then numerically solved by applying the Keller-Box method. The local Nusselt number for both the thermal cases is calculated and discussed. Percent-wise enhancement in the rate of heat transport has also been included in the analysis. It was concluded through the present exploration that at lower volume fractions of magnetite and silver, the rate of heat transport is observed to be dominant. The rate of heat transference has attained identical values for both the provided thermal conditions at the surface. Moreover, intensities of velocity and thermal profiles diminish with the appreciation of the choice of unsteadiness. The temperature-controlling indices also affect the thermal profile, and it is reduced with the intensification in the considerations of these indices. The values of thermal conductivity, density, and electrical conductivity have been improved with the inclusion of nanospheres (magnetite ( Fe 3 O 4 ) and silver (Ag)), whereas the value of specific heat is reduced with the mixture of these nanospheres. The Nusselt number is increased up to 5% with the involvement of magnetite nanospheres, and it is enhanced up to 4% with the involvement of silver nanospheres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Little is known in the literature about the concept of nonuniform heat source/sink and higher-order chemical reaction for the dynamics of Oldroyd-B nanoparticles. Therefore, the present article addresses the nonuniform heat source/sink and higher-order chemical reaction features in nonlinear mixed convection bidirectional MHD dynamics of Oldroyd-B nanoparticles with thermal radiation aspects through porous space. Stratification effects for both the temperature and concentration setups are also used in the mathematical model with the significance of random movement and thermodiffusion of nanoparticles. Shape-preserving transformations have been employed to convert the transport equations into solvable forms. An innovative analytical tactic, namely, homotopy analysis method, has been adopted to find the solution of the modeled problem. Behaviors of pertinent parameters on thermal and concentration profiles have been discussed through various graphs. Inspection of heat/mass transport against appropriate varieties of pertinent parameters has been made and explained physically. Thermal profile is augmented with the higher estimations of space and temperature-dependent heat source/sink links. Concentration profile is diminished with the augmentation of higher-order chemical reaction parameter. Sherwood number is improved with the estimation of 0 ≤ β t ≤ 100 and is reduced with the growth of 0 ≤ β c ≤ 100. Nusselt number is declined with the upgraded amounts of 0 ≤ N b ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ N t ≤ 5.

The current study explores a new direction of research in which the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects on two-dimensional nanofluid boundary layer flow under the influence of radiation are investigated in a porous medium using inverse multiquadric (IMQ) radial basis neural networks (RBNNs) i.e. IMQ-RBNNs. A quite new computational approach is used here in which artificial neural networks (ANNs) acquired IMQ radial basis function as an activation function in an amalgam of globally searching solver named genetic algorithms (GAs) together with an efficient local searching sequential quadratic programming (SQP) solver. The basic equations that represent the fluid flow are first obtained in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs) and then converted into dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by applying similarity transformations. The dynamical properties of the nanofluid including velocity, temperature along mass concentration are analyzed by varying physical parameters including radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, constant moving parameter, heat source parameter, Brownian motion parameter and Eckert number. Moreover, the escalation in the value of the constant moving parameter diminishes the fluid velocity but this effect is reversed in the case of magnetic parameter. The increasing values of heat source parameter, Brownian motion parameter and Eckert number inflate the nanofluid temperature but a reversal effect is observed in the case of radiation parameter. It is also observed that larger values of heat Brownian motion parameter and radiation parameter amplify the nanofluid concentration but an opposite effect is obtained in the case of heat source parameter. The numerical results of the proposed model obtained through the IMQ-RBNNs based solver optimized with GASQP algorithm. The efficacy and tendency of rapid convergence of the proposed solver are endorsed through graphical illustrations and tables using well-known statistical operators with various fitness analyses on MATLAB are also part of this research.
