The thermal analysis on hydromagnetic two-dimensional flow of dusty nano fluid along an upper horizontal surface of paraboloid revolution have been scrutinized. The governing flow are derived under the assumptions of Boussinesq's boundary layer approximation theory. The effects of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux, variable thermal conductivity, joule heating and viscous dissipation are incorporated in the energy equation. The governing PDE's for the flow and energy transfer for both the phases are transformed into ODE'S by employing the suitable similarity transformations. The final dimensionless governing coupled ordinary differential equations are resolved with the aid of bvp5c procedure in computational Matlab software. The effects of dimensionless governing controlled flow parameters on velocity, micropolar velocity, and temperature profiles for both the phases are reported and discussed elaborately through plots and tables. The emerging three nanoparticles namely gold, silver and platinum ( A u , A g and Pt ) are considered throughout graphical analysis along with H 2 O is used as a base liquid. It is revealed that the flow velocity declined for strengthen of the applied magneticfield. It is worthy note that the larger values of thermal relaxation parameter γ declines the fluid temperature for both phases. Also, the rate of heat transfer is an increasing function to the escalating values of variable thermal conductivity ε , while it is reverse trend for the thermal relaxation parameter γ . The observations exhibit the prominent features in the field of an advanced bio-medical and thermal engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Similar to other fluids (Newtonian and non-Newtonian), micropolar fluid also exhibits symmetric flow and exact symmetric solution similar to the Navier–Stokes equation; however, it is not always realizable. In this article, the Buongiorno mathematical model of hydromagnetic micropolar nanofluid is considered. A joint phenomenon of heat and mass transfer is studied in this work. This model indeed incorporates two important effects, namely, the Brownian motion and the thermophoretic. In addition, the effects of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and chemical reaction are considered. The fluid is taken over a slanted, stretching surface making an inclination with the vertical one. Suitable similarity transformations are applied to develop a nonlinear transformed model in terms of ODEs (ordinary differential equations). For the numerical simulations, an efficient, stable, and reliable scheme of Keller-box is applied to the transformed model. More exactly, the governing system of equations is written in the first order system and then arranged in the forms of a matrix system using the block-tridiagonal factorization. These numerical simulations are then arranged in graphs for various parameters of interest. The physical quantities including skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number along with different effects involved in the governing equations are also justified through graphs. The consequences reveal that concentration profile increases by increasing chemical reaction parameters. In addition, the Nusselt number and Sherwood number decreases by decreasing the inclination.

Symmetry and fluid dynamics either advances the state-of-the-art of mathematical methods and extends the limitations of existing methodologies to new contributions in fluid. Physical scenario is modelled in terms of differential equations as mathematical models in fluid mechanics to address current challenges. In this work a physical problem to examine the unsteady flow of a third-grade non-Newtonian liquid induced through a permeable shrinking surface containing nanoliquid is considered. The model of Buongiorno is utilized comprising the thermophoresis and Brownian effects through nonlinear thermal radiation and convective condition. Based on the flow symmetry, suitable similarity transformations are employed to alter the partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then these ordinary differential equations are numerically executed via three-stage Lobatto IIIa formula. The flow symmetry is discussed for interesting physical parameters and thus this work is concluded. More exactly, the impacts of pertinent constraints on the concentration, temperature and velocity profiles along together drag force, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are explained through the aid of the tables and plots. The outcomes reveal that the dual nature of solutions is gained for a specific amount of suction and flow in the decelerating form A < 0 . However, the unique result is obtained for flow in accelerating form A ≥ 0 . In addition, the non-linear parameter declines the liquid velocity and augments the concentration and temperature fields in the first result, whereas the contrary behavior is scrutinized in the second result.

Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusions are the fundamental ideas of abnormal upgrading in thermal conductivity via binary fluids (base fluid along with nanoparticles). The influence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are focused on in the Buongiorno model. In this problem, we considered the Buongiorno model with Brownian motion and thermophoretic effects. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations are recovered from the partial differential equations of the boundary flow via compatible similarity transformations and then employed to the Keller-box scheme for numerical results. The physical quantities of our concern including skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number along with velocity, temperature and concentration profile against involved effects are demonstrated. The impacts of the involved flow parameters are drawn in graphs and tabulated forms. The inclination effect shows an inverse relation with the velocity field. Moreover, the velocity profile increases with the growth of the buoyancy effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The principal objective of the current study is to analyze the Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts on micropolar nanofluid flow over a nonlinear inclined stretching sheet taking into account the Soret and Dufour effects. The compatible similarity transformations are applied to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations from the partial differential equations. The numerical solution of the present study obtained via the Keller-Box technique. The physical quantities of interest are skin friction, Sherwood number, and heat exchange, along with several influences of material parameters on the momentum, temperature, and concentration are elucidated and clarified with diagrams. A decent settlement can be established in the current results with previously published work in the deficiency of incorporating effects. It is found that the growth of the inclination and nonlinear stretching factor decreases the velocity profile. Moreover, the growth of the Soret effect reduces the heat flux rate and wall shear stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
