The proposed study demonstrates the flow phenomenon and thermo-variation of a magnetized stretching sheet induced-radiative nanofluid flow. By incorporating the response surface methodology, the heat transfer rate of the thermally convective flow of nanofluid is optimized. The graphene nanomaterial is used in the water-based nanofluid. A dynamic magnetic field, thermal radiation, and the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model have used to represent the thermal behavior of the nanofluid. The simulation utilizes experimentally estimated values for the nanomaterial's thermal conductivity and viscosity. To further reveal the thermal enhancement of the flow, the impact of nanoparticle diameter and the solid-liquid interfacial layer is proposed at the molecular level. The response surface methodology and the sensitivity analysis has used to examine the effects of the nanoparticle volume fraction, Biot number, and magnetic parameter on the rate of heat transfer statistically. A set of equations is formed from the governing partial differential equations by implementing suitable similarity transformations. The bvp4c approach is used to solve the problem numerically. The effect of various parameters has displayed through tables, graphs, and surface plots on heat transfer, mass transfer, and the local Nusselt number. It is discovered that as the Biot number increases, so does the concentration and temperature profile. An excellent accord between the present and previously existing solutions is establishing the validity of the achieved results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the past few years, many technical strategies, such as molding, condenser heat exchanger, liquefied metal filtration, fusion control and nuclear reactor coolant, that involve hydromagnetic fluxes and thermal intensification in porous media have been observed. This study investigates the Carreau nanofluid of nanobiofilm through stretching/shrinking sheet with a stagnant point flow, nanoparticles and convecting microbes. The orthogonal (9 0 ∘ impinge) coating stagnant point circulation of a medium is considered, although the sheet may be stretched/shrinked as the procedure utilized in industry. The variations in the fluid (dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, mass permeability) and microbes are utilized. The similarity transformation factors are used to transform the system of partial differential equations into a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. To find the solution of a system of equations, the Runge–Kutta method with shooting technique has been used. The flow rate, temperature and concentration, as well as the heat transfer rate, and the physical quantities have been discussed. The nanoparticle volume fraction increases with the increasing effect of activating energy as well as thermophoresis parameter, but it decreases with the enhancing effect of Lewis number (Le) and Brownian motion parameter (Nb). The graphs and tables display the illustration of the influence of different parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an investigation into Williamson nanofluid stagnation point flow of nano-biofilm over a stretching/ shrinking sheet with chemical reaction is performed. Moreover, the impact of cylindrical-shaped nanoparticles, activation energy, and bioconvection has been considered. The fluid's fluctuating transport properties (dynamic viscosity, heat conductivity, nanoparticle mass diffusivity) and microorganism diffusivity are evaluated. The nonlinear systems of partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear differential equations via the implementation of similarity transformations. The shooting approach and RK-4 technique are used for this investigation. The impacts of various fluid transport characteristics and various factors on patterns of velocity, temperature, the concentration of nanoparticles, and motile density are described. The Brownian motion, heat source and thermophoresis parameters all lead to a more consistent temperature profile being observed. It is seen that concentration-dependent properties decrease the velocity profile while the temperature, concentration, and motile density profiles increase. Also, the physical quantities decrease with the rising values of concentration-dependent properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• The microorganisms and nanoparticles concentration increased along with the melting parameter. • The thermal efficiency increases directly as thermophoresis and thermal relaxation parameters increased. • The enhancement in the magnetic field and β reduces the nanoparticle's concentration. • Sherwood numbers continue to rise against Brown motion parameter and Lewis number. An investigation for fluctuating temperature with Cattaneo–Christov features and self-motive bioconvective microbes immersed in the water based nanofluid has been observing with excision/accretion of the leading edge. A set of partial differential equations is transferring by implementing the similarity measures to an ordinary differential pattern. A finite element technique is employed to establish the numerical results of the set of non-linear system of equations via Matlab programming. The numerical solution's reliability and validity are determined by ascertaining convergence specifications and comparing them to established novel solutions. The formulation of boundary layer configurations for microbes propagation, fluid temperature, the volume fraction of nano-inclusions, and the fluid velocity with varying persuasive parameters have discussed. The main findings of the prevailing assessment are that an increasing trend in the ablation/slash accretion in leading-edge declines in the non-dimensional melting factor of fluid velocity and temperature, while a decreasing trend has seen with the enhancing impact of ablation/slash accretion at the leading edge that represents the flow velocity deceleration. Furthermore, a significant result is that an increase in the non-dimensional melting factor enhances the density of the liquid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The significance of this investigation is to optimize the heat transfer rate of magnetohydrodynamic bioconvective hybrid nanofluid flow in the presence of heat source and thermal convection. The main focus is to examine the two-dimensional incompressible MHD (Cu-Ag) / H 2 O and ( TiO 2 -Ag) / H 2 O hybrid nanofluid flow across the stretching cylinder with the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model. The response surface methodological approach and sensitivity analysis have been employed to statistically scrutinize the influences of concentration, bioconvection, and thermo-diffusion on heat transfer rate. By applying suitable similarity vectors in controlling the partial differential equations, a system of equations (ODEs) is formed. A well-known method Runge Kutta with shooting has used for numerical simulations. The role of various involving factors on heat and mass transfer rate and skin friction factor is illustrated using tables, figures, and surface plots. The three-dimensional graphs displayed the synchronized effect of involving factors on physical quantities. The heat transfer rate is least responsive to variations in the magnetic parameter and most sensitive to the fluctuations of the Biot number. It is perceived that the nanoparticle concentration and motile concentration profiles declined with the increasing effect of chemical reaction parameters. The legitimacy of the current conclusions is established by the excellent agreement concerning present and previous consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study emphasizes the dual exposition of the impact of convective condition and the significant effects of magnetic field, heat source and velocity slip on hybrid nanofluid flow over the exponentially shrinking sheet. The hybrid nanofluid is regarded as a contemporary variety of nanofluid; consequently, it is utilized to enhance the efficiency of heat transfer. By applying the Tiwari–Das model, the key objective of the current research is to investigate the impact of involving factors Biot number, Eckert number, volume fraction, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), slip and suction on the temperature and velocity profiles. In addition, the Nusselt number and skin friction variations have been explored against the suction effect on the solid volume fraction of copper ϕ 2 ∈ [1–3%] and the Biot number Bi ∈ [1–3%]. The nonlinear partial differential equations are converted to a set of an ordinary differential equations by incorporating exponential similarity vectors. Eventually, ordinary differential equations are rectified utilizing MATLAB bvp4c solver. The results demonstrate the presence of dual exposition for suction with varying values of copper volume fraction and the Biot number. The heat transmission rate is observed to escalate in both cases as the strength of the Biot and Eckert numbers intensifies in the range of 1–3%. In summary, the results show that duality and non-unique solutions occur in the aiding flow situation when the suction S ≥ S ci , while there is no flow and unique solutions of hybrid nanofluid feasible when S < S ci .

For its applications in nuclear reactors, food processing, chemical engineering, water emulsions and thermal power generating systems, the significance of irregular heat source and Arrhenius energy on electro-magnetohydrodynamic hybrid nanofluid flow over a rotating stretchable disk with nonlinear radiation have been investigated. The flow problem has been modeled utilizing the modified Buongiorno model and the thermophysical characteristics of water-based Cu − F e 3 O 4 hybrid nanoliquid. Effects like passive control of nanoparticles, hydrodynamic slip and convective boundary conditions are also heeded to boost the realistic nature of this work. Further, engineering quantities like moment coefficient and pumping efficiency of the disk are also elucidated which boosts the novelty of this research work. The modeled governing equations are transmuted into a system of first-order ODEs, with the help of apposite similarity transformations, which are then numerically resolved using the finite-difference based bvp5c algorithm. It is noticed that per unit increase in the electric parameter decreases the skin friction coefficient by 41.75% and increases the heat transfer rate by 15.31%. It is also observed that the entrainment velocity is directly proportional to the changes in electric field parameter and is inversely proportional to the changes in volume fraction of copper and magnetite nanoparticles.

The present work examines the effect of different magnetic nanoparticles and the heat transfer phenomena over the stretching sheet with thermal stratification and slips effect. The mixture of water (H 2 O) and ethylene glycol (C 2 H 6 O 2 ) is used as base fluid whereas the paramagnetic, diamagnetic, and ferromagnetic ferrites are taken as nanoparticles. In the presence of ferrite nanoparticles, the magnetic dipole has a significant effect in controlling the rate of heat transfer and the thermal boundary layers. By using suitable similarity transformations, the system of partial differential equations is transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution of resulting equations is found out by using the variational finite element method. The effect of numerous emerging parameters on velocity, temperature, and micro-rotation velocity are represented graphically and analyzed numerically. It has been noticed that comparatively the diamagnetic ferrites have gained maximum thermal conductivity relative to the other nanoparticles. It was also observed that the thermal conduction of nanoparticles increases with the variation of volume fraction. Moreover, with increasing values of thermal stratification the thermal boundary layer thickness decreases and the heat transfer rate increases at the surface. Furthermore, the validation of code and the accuracy of the numerical technique has been confirmed by the assessment of current results with earlier studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study briefings the roles of Coriolis, and Lorentz forces on the dynamics of rotating nanofluids flow toward a continuously stretching sheet. The nanoparticles are incorporated because of their unusual qualities like upgrade the thermal transportation, which are very important in heat exchangers, modern nanotechnology, electronics, and material sciences. The primary goal of this study is to improve heat transportation. Appropriate similarity transformations are applied for the principal PDEs to transform into nonlinear dimensionless PDEs. A widely recognized Numerical scheme known as the Finite Element Method is employed to solve the resultant convective boundary layer balances. Higher input in the solvent fraction parameter has a rising effect on the primary velocity and secondary velocity magnitude, and decreasing impact on the distributions of temperature. It is seen that growing contributions of the Coriolis, and Lorentz forces cause to moderate the primary and secondary velocities, but the temperature and concentration functions show opposite trend. The concentration, temperature, and velocities distributions for suction case is prominently than that of injection case, but inverse trend is observed for local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. These examinations are relevant to the field of plastic films, crystal growing, paper production, heat exchanger, and bio-medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
