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]

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]

In present analysis, we investigate the flow behavior of SiO 2 / H 2 O / C 2 H 6 O 2 nanofluid along with magnetic field and heat generation influence on permeable channel having squeezing/dilating walls. The modeled partial differential system including mass balance, momentum and temperature equations are transformed into ordinary differential system by using similarity transformations and achieved the coupled of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution of coupled system of equations is interpreted for velocity and temperature by using Bvp4c method. The graphical behavior of different parameters such as deforming rate L (for velocity we have taken L = ± 0. 1 , ± 0. 7 and ± 1. 2 , wheres for temperature L = − 0. 1 , − 0. 7 and − 0. 9 has been taken), permeating Reynolds number H (for velocity H = 0. 1 , 0. 4 and 0.7 and for temperature H = − 0. 6 , − 0. 7 and − 0. 8 has been taken), Hartman number M (for velocity M = 0. 1 , 1. 3 and 2.5 is taken), heat generation β (for temperature β = 0. 1 , 0. 5 and 0.9 is taken) and solid fraction volume R (for velocity R = 0. 1 , 0. 9 and 1.2 is taken, for temperature R = 0. 7 , 0. 8 and 0.9 is assumed) for temperature and velocity have been plotted using Matlab software. The observation of case I; L > 0 , H > 0 , shows the velocity of both base ( H 2 O and C 2 H 6 O 2 ) fluids increases at middle portion of channel due to increase in L and M. On the other hands the velocity profiles show increasing behavior for H and decreasing behavior for R at the edges of channel. Temperature distribution observation of case I; L > 0 , H > 0 , it is cleared that the temperature of SiO 2 / H 2 O / C 2 H 6 O 2 nanofluid increases due to increase of β. The temperature profile of SiO 2 / H 2 O nanofluid decreases by increase of R, on other hands the temperature profile of SiO 2 / C 2 H 6 O 2 nanofluid decreases on interval (− 1 < h < 0) and increases on interval (0 < h < 1) with increase of R. The observation of case II; L < 0 , H < 0 , deduces that the temperature of SiO 2 / H 2 O / C 2 H 6 O 2 nanofluid increases by increase of H. The graphical results show that temperature profile reveals batter performance for base fluid H 2 O as compared to base fluid C 2 H 6 O 2 . We compared the present results with previous results and found that present results are similar to previous results. • SiO 2 / H 2 O / C 2 H 6 O 2 nanofluid in squeezing/dilating wall are investigated. • Heat generation is considered. • Low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximation is used. • The equations are solved by using perturbation technique. • Relationship between kinematic viscosity and intermolecular forces are described.

• Bingham nanofluid is considered in an inclined non uniform channel with chemically reactive species. • Effect of homogenious–heterogenious is depicted in the flow of Bingham nanofluid. • Walls are assumed to be flexible. • Convective boundary conditions for temperature and concentration equations are considered. Objective :The flow kinetics generated with a pulsatile wave that travel along the channel has prime relevance in various processes in physiology and industry. The aim here is to investigate such phenomenon with Bingham fluid with chemically reacting species in terms of their homogeneous and heterogeneous characteristics. Method: To formulate the mathematical descriptions Bingham fluid with heat and mass equations is accounted. Using the similarity solutions, the proposed leading partial differential equations of the flow phenomena transferred into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations and boundary conditions are solved analytically. Such considerations perceive prime importance in medicine and genetics where heterogeneity in a cell makes several diseases difficult to execute. Results : Further the physical aspect of human tabular organs i.e., porosity in a medium is retained in the analysis. The utility of magnetic field in reference to medicine is employed. The walls are considered flexible. The whole problem is set to lubrication approach for simplification of resulting system. The attained results are tested on physical grounds by plotting graphs. Conclusion: It is analyzed that the Hartman number and porosity parameter reduce the velocity and temperature profiles. The elastic wall parameters E 1 and E 2 enhances both the velocity and temperature fields while E 3 enrolls an adverse effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
