Significance of magnetohydrodynamic effect on a viscous (temperature‐dependent) and chemically reactive thin fluid film flow past an unsteady permeable stretchable plate with Soret–Dufour effects, nonlinear thermal radiative, and suction under the action of a convective type of boundary condition is analyzed. The problem consists of nonlinear governing basic equations that are highly nonlinear due to the existence of nonlinear thermal radiative terms in the energy equation. Analytical solutions are challenging to achieve for such types of problems, so a numerical scheme adopts the numerical solution. Computed solutions indicate that decreasing the Dufour number (and simultaneously increasing the Soret number) enhances heat flux, whereas the reverse trend is estimated for the concentration gradient field. The influence of magnetization indicates a decrement in the thin liquid film velocity distribution, whereas an increment is observed in temperature and solutal gradient profiles. Further, an enhancement in thermoradiative values focuses on decreasing the heat flux profiles, whereas a decreasing trend is determined in the solutal gradient by incrementing the Schmidt number. The variations of the velocity field, temperature, and concentration gradients are shown for the unsteady parameter S $S$ lying in the range [0.8, 1.4]. Similarly, the range of different parameters utilized are θr ${\theta }_{r}$ [0.0, 1.0], Nr $Nr$ [0.0, 2.0], Pr $Pr$ [0.8, 1.5], Sc $Sc$ [0.5, 2.0], B* ${B}^{* }$ [0.0, 1.0], k1 ${k}_{1}$ [0.2, 3.0], fw ${f}_{w}$ [1.0, 2.0], M $M$ [0.0, 3.0], Du $Du$ [0.4, 1.0], and Sr $Sr$ [0.4, 1.0]. The novelty of the present study lies in its analysis of complex fluid dynamics phenomena and their implications for various industrial processes and engineering applications, including coating processes, heat exchangers, microfluidics, and biomedical engineering. The insights gained from the study can contribute to developing more efficient and innovative research in these areas. Further, we have compared the present results with those available in the literature under some special cases and found them to be in excellent agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mixed convection flows across the revolving bodies have eminent applications in science and technology, such as fibre coating, polymer deposition, centrifugal blood pumps, rotatory machinery, and so forth. In the current work, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer characteristics of Casson hybrid nanofluid (Ag/MgO as nanoparticles) over the rotating sphere at the stagnation zone are being studied. Moreover, an analysis of heat transmission is conducted by considering the influence of thermal radiation, temperature‐dependent thermal conductivity, magnetic field, and viscous dissipation. The relevant partial differential equations are reformed into ordinary differential equations by appropriate transformations, which are solved using the successive linearization method (SLM). The thermal field, velocity components in x and z directions, heat transfer rate, and skin friction coefficient are computed for various physical quantities like rotation parameter mixed convection parameter, radiation parameter, Eckert number, Casson parameter, magnetic parameter, variable thermal conductivity parameter, and so forth. The current findings align well with the literature in a limiting sense. Thermal enhancement in hybrid nanofluid is observed for the viscous dissipation parameter (Ec), thermal conductivity parameter (ε), and radiation parameter (Rd). The degree of heat transfer rises from 12.8% to 20% when the Casson parameter's value (β0) increases. Also, a decrease of approximately 33% is depicted between the peak values of the velocity magnitude with an increase in rotation parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AbstractThe present work is implicated with the investigation of wave propagation in a homogeneous, isotropic, non-local microelongated viscothermoelastic solid half space with variable thermal conductivity under the dual phase lag (DPL) model. It is found analytically that three coupled longitudinal waves and one independent transverse wave exist in the medium which travel with distinct speeds. Reflection coefficients and energy ratios of various reflected waves are obtained analytically and presented graphically for aluminum epoxy-like material. The variations of these reflection coefficients are analyzed for different values of non-local parameter, microelongational parameter, viscosity and variable thermal conductivity. The expressions of energy ratios acquired in explicit form are also represented graphically as functions of the angle of incidence in accordance with the defined rule of conservation of energy.

This article investigates the effect of activation energy on Carreau fluid flow in the presence of variable thermal conductivity, inclined magnetic field, melting heat transfer, and Soret and Dufour phenomena. A set of suitable similarity transformations is applied for transforming the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) considered for the physical phenomena into non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We obtained the results by solving the non-linear ODEs numerically which describe the behavior of the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles of the fluid against the governing parameters and illustrated these graphically. The velocity distribution decreases for angle of inclination while it is increasing against higher melting parameter. The temperature distribution enhances with higher modified Dufour parameter and Prandtl number while it declines for thermal conductivity, activation energy, and melting parameters. The concentration distribution increases for melting parameter, Soret number, and activation energy parameter while decreasing for temperature difference parameter, Schmidt number, and reaction rate parameter. Skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are evaluated numerically against the various governing parameters. Accuracy of the present work is illustrated and established through comparison carried out for skin friction versus magnetic parameter with existing results in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The solar radiations are absorbed in the form of heat energy by using the solar centering systems in solar collectors, this energy is then transmitted to nanofluid. This study concerns the production of entropy in a Maxwell nanofluid passed over an infinite horizontal surface. Then the non-linear stretching of the surface causes a flow in parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC). The similarity transformations are employed to transmute the system of PDEs into a system of solvable ODEs provided with the boundary conditions. Eventually, the classical Keller box scheme is applied to find the numerical solutions of transmutes ODEs. The analysis of two distinct nanofluids including copper-engine oil (Cu-EO) and zirconium dioxide-engine oil ZrO2-EO is taken into account and the results for both of them are discussed. The extracted results demonstrate a decline in Nusselt number with growing permeable media parameter and augmentation for increasing values of skin friction coefficient. A recent study is presented to provide information related to the enhancement of heat collector in the PTSC with Maxwell nanofluid.

Due to their widespread use in engineering, hybrid nanofluids have been the primary focus of mathematical and physical research. Only the improvement of hybrid nanofluids’ variable heat conductivity and viscosity has been considered so far. Hybrid nanofluid flow across an inclined cylinder has many potential uses, including heat transfer and cooling in electrical devices, energy storage, refrigerants, and the automobile industry. Examining the effects of buoyant force, variable viscosity, variable thermal conductivity, mass suction, convective thermal conditions, and a magnetic field on the stagnation point flow of a Al2O3–Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid in an inclined cylinder is our objective in this work. In order to find solutions to boundary-condition flow-describing partial differential equations, we turn them into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. We achieve this by employing a numerical strategy known as the fourth-order Runge–Kutta technique, which incorporates shooting techniques. A graphical representation of the findings emphasizes the influence of many physical parameters on flow dynamics. In addition, we address the influence of drag force and rate of heat transfer on various elements, such as the Biot parameter, magnetic variable, viscosity variable, and thermal conductivity variable. The mixed convection and magnetic parameters cause the velocity profile to rise while the temperature profile falls. The research’s results elucidate the cause behind the rise in thermal contour of hybrid nanofluids, which is seen when there is an increment in thermal conductivity, radiation parameter, and Biot number. The heat transfer rate exhibits a significant increase of 36.87% in the aiding flow scenario when a 2.0 mass suction is applied in conjunction with a 0.01 hybrid nanofluid, as compared to the conventional fluid. In the scenario of opposing flow, the heat transfer rate exhibits a significant increase of 36.96% when compared to that of ordinary fluid. Heat transfer increases 43.00% when Rd increases from 0.1 to 0.5 for both assisting and opposing flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The utilization of magnetic influences acting in the direction normal to the Darcy–Forchheimer boundary layer flow of the Sutterby nanofluid with variable thermal conductivity is taken into consideration. This study takes into account the effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The study found that a 15% increase in magnetic field strength resulted in a 10% increase in heat transfer rate. Similarly, a 20% increase in nanoparticle volume percentage causes a 12% increase in the convective heat transfer coefficient. The problem’s model is formulated in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs), transformed via similarity transformation into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Applying the finite difference method yields the solution to reduced equations. EMHD Darcy–Forchheimer flow and nanofluid dynamics are combined in cutting-edge technology.

In the fluid transport processes extent of irreversibility causes entropy generation that leads to degrading the life span of any engineering system. The main objective of this investigation is to enhance the span of the system by analyzing the effects of various physical parameters. A nanofluid flow over an inclined stretching cylinder is studied to measure entropy generation due to thermal conductivity, Soret and Dufour effects along with viscous dissipation and internal heat source. Buongiorno model is considered as a base structure. The mathematical equations so formed are solved by shooting technique with Gill's fourth order method. Numerical results are validated with Homotopy analysis method through Bvph2.0. Effects of various parameters have been investigated on transport processes like axial velocity, temperature profile, and nanofluid concentration profiles. It seems that higher intensity of the applied magnetic field (M = 0, 1, 2), variable thermal conductivity (ε = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5), and Brinkman number (Br = 0.35) generates more entropy that degrades the system's life. Magnetic parameter and group parameter (1 ≤ Br/Ω1 ≤ 3), changing thermal conductivity all leads to a rise in entropy. In the study, group parameter reducing Bejan number that makes system more sustainable that full fills the aim of the study.

Abstract The intricate dynamics of mixed convective thermic and species transport in a power-law flowing fluid through a continuously stretched surface are investigated. The uniqueness of this study lies in the consideration of fluid variable thermic conductivity and viscosity, which introduces a higher degree of realism into the analysis. The transformation of similarity is used to transform the fundamental governing equations, and after that, the set of equations is processed numerically utilizing a non-similarity local approach. Furthermore, the effects of Soret and Dufour represent the cross-diffusion phenomena, accounting for the energy exchange with the surroundings. These factors collectively influence the stretching surface’s gradient velocity, affecting the thermal and species concentration rates. The findings offer a comprehensive understanding of these complex interactions, paving the way for optimizing thermic and species transport processes in various industrial applications. This study, therefore, holds significant potential for enhancing efficiency and performance in relevant industrial sectors. The main terms are the combinations of Dufour and Soret numbers that significantly impact the flow rate profile and mass transfer field. The coupled study of the nonlinear velocity, energy distribution and chemical mixture variance made the study more impactful in practicality. Skin friction variation shows limited impact with variations in the Soret number. The enhanced thermal gradient results in improved non-similarity parameters, yet it demonstrates a decrease with an increase in variable thermal diffusivity. There is a decrease in the temperature gradient as the buoyancy term reduces, while an increase is observed with changes in the Prandtl number. Similarly, the Nusselt number experiences a comparable impact due to changes in the Soret number.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the flow of the Reiner-Rivlin hybrid nanofluid, considering the magnetic field and varying thermal conductivity between two spinning disks. Appropriate similarity variables are used to transform all dimensional equations into dimensionless form.

In this study, we have investigated magnetohydrodynamic Couette flow across a deformable porous regime with entropy generation having equal suction and injection velocities. The aim of this work is to analyze the novel impact of thermophoresis deposition, activation energy, and magnetic effect by considering viscosity and thermal conductivity as dependent on temperature in a deformable porous regime. The dimensional equations are turned into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through proper similarity variables. To solve these ODEs, we utilized the MATLAB bvp4c approach. Graphs are used to study the behavior of many physical parameters such as skin friction, Bejan number, velocity, displacement, entropy generation, concentration, and temperature. It is found that the viscosity parameter reduces the solid displacement, whereas it enhances the fluid concentration. Due to the impact of suction/injection and drag parameters, fluid velocity becomes reduced.

The present numerical investigation uncovers the flow, heat, and mass transfer of ethylene glycol-based nanofluid (BN-EG) led by the combined impacts of peristaltic pumping and electroosmosis. The thermal conductivity of carrier liquid is deemed to change with temperature. Further, the features of electric field, Ohmic heating, radiative heat flux, mixed convection, and magnetic field are taken. Mathematical modeling is conducted under the assumption of lubrication theory. The nonlinear-coupled equations are addressed numerically by implementing Shooting method. The effective results of all physical constraints linked with the flow model are vigilantly studied and highlighted through various curves. The observations obtained from current analysis reveal that temperature augments with higher electroosmotic parameter. However, the Joule heating parameter increases the rate of heat transmission, while a lower rate of heat transfer is perceived for the radiation parameter. An increment in Helmholtz–Smoluchowski velocity increases the velocity profile. Pressure gradient rises in a forward way when electrical field favors peristaltic flow. Concentration of nanomaterial considerably declines when concentration Grashoff number is assigned higher values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research focuses on exploring the flow and temperature distribution of forced convection in a channel of horizontally placed parallel plate under the existence of a bidisperse porous medium (BDPM) emphasizing the consequences of viscous dissipation. The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity are considered while maintaining the momentum slip and constant wall temperature at the channel walls. Analysis of the dynamics of fluid flow and the temperature distributions in both the fluid and solid phases is conducted by following the two-velocity and two-temperature models in this work. The model governing equations are non-dimensionalized following the relevant dimensionless parameters and the study calculates the temperature and velocity profiles for each phase using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The obtained temperature and velocity are discussed and explained with the help of graphs. Certain fluids exhibit varying behaviors at different temperatures. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the temperature-dependent physical properties of the fluid for specific applications. This highlights the importance of implementing temperature-dependent physical properties in the analysis. Throughout the investigation, it is discovered that the viscosity parameter has a greater influence on velocity as compared to temperature, the same for thermal conductivity on temperature. The impact of physical parameters including skin friction, volume flow rate, and Nusselt number on both plates are also examined in this study. The findings are discussed, and tables displaying numerical values for various physical characteristics are provided for both the liquid and solid phases. The results obtained were also compared with existing literature, revealing a strong alignment between them.

Steady flow of incompressible Maxwell–Sutterby fluid at stretching sheet is discussed in the presence of stagnation point region. The magnetic Reynolds number is considered very high and induced magnetic and electric fields are applied to the fluid flow. Temperature-dependent properties with radiation influence are considered in this analysis. The heat source or sink and melting impact are also debated in this analysis. A differential model of mathematics is developed by employing a governing constitutive equation. The differential equations' model is condensed and becomes ordinary differential equations by implementing the appropriate transformations. Furthermore, these equations are elucidated by the numerical scheme. The physical influence of physical parameters is exhibited in the graphs and tabular form. The escalating values of M cause a shear thinning attitude in the fluid; as a result, devaluation in the velocity is detected in the case of a / c = 0. 5 , while it depicted the counter behavior for a / c = 1. 5. The skin friction is heightened with improving values of Re because R e boosted which improved the viscosity of liquid as well as heightened the friction at sheet. The enhancing values of M p cause a decrement in skin friction. The melting parameter is enriched which reduces the viscosity of fluid due to temperature boosting as well as friction reduction. The diminution in skin friction is found for enhancing the values of β. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The influences of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on a steady, laminar, viscous, incompressible, hydromagnetic flow passing through a channel filled with a porous medium are investigated. The effects of heat source, thermal radiation, thermophoretic deposition, and Soret and Dufour numbers are considered. The governing equations are solved by the MATLAB bvp4c solver. It is found that increases in the viscosity parameter, thermal conductivity parameter, and the thermophoretic coefficient reduce the fluid velocity, while increasing radiation parameter and Dufour number enhance it. An increase in the thermal conductivity parameter raises the concentration, but reduces the temperature. The influences of the relevant parameters on the skin friction and Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are presented in tabular form and analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AbstractThis article analyses the flow across a moving surface using the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Williamson fluid model in detail, accounting for the effects of diffusion, nonlinear convection, and variable thermal conductivity. The heat transmission within the system is impacted by the changing thermal conductivity, which can also significantly alter the flow behavior. The effects of the moving surface on flow forms in porous media are explained here using the Darcy model. The similarity transformations are used to convert the underlying nonlinear partial differential equations into a collection of ordinary differential equations. The work uses a numerical RK4 technique to examine the complex incompressible fluid flow behavior on a moving surface. The study’s conclusions provide insight into the intricate flow patterns and shear layer forms brought on by the interaction of fluid and surface motion while taking varied thermal conductivity into account. The findings give important information for the design and optimization of engineering applications involving changeable thermal characteristics and advance our understanding of fluid dynamics in geophysical and atmospheric systems. Physical descriptions are used to depict how flow parameters behave in relation to velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work objective focuses on studying the combined influences of variable thermal conductivity, chemical reaction, and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on the flow of a tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface, considering a first-order velocity slip condition. Additionally, thermophoresis and Brownian motion impacts are taken into account. The phenomena of heat transfer are analyzed considering several factors such as thermal radiation, Joule heating and nonlinear heat source. On the other hand, mass transfer is explored under the effect of chemical reaction. Tangent hyperbolic fluid is an important branch of non-Newtonian fluids known for its ability to describe shear thinning effects. Understanding fluid flow on exponentially stretched surfaces is of great significance due to its applications in various industrial processes. These applications include fluid film condensing methods, plastic production for making plastic covers, fiber manufacturing (where it is used to spin fibers), glass blowing, metallurgical procedures, and the paper industry. The concept of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is significant due to its various engineering applications, such as MHD generators, flow meters, heat reservoirs, small components in different devices, and cooling systems for nuclear reactors. To analyze the system, using similarity transformations, the governing equations of continuity, velocity, and concentration are transformed into non-dimensional differential equations. The numerical solution is obtained using the shooting technique. The study presents the physical significance of all the fluid parameters involved, focusing on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. These profiles are presented graphically and discussed in detail. The results show that the fluid velocity profile increases with enhancing values of the We and the magnetic number M.

In many engineering systems, hybrid and nanofluids are influenced by their respective thermophysical characteristics. Lately, several models have been envisaged to foresee the hybrid and nanofluid attributes. The properties of hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) as potential heat transfer fluids are controlled by numerous aspects such as solid part size, volume fraction, and temperature. Considering the interesting facts of the hybrid and nanofluid flows, we in this exploration examined the thermal performance comparison of both types of fluid flows. The nanofluid and HNF are composed of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/kerosene oil and silicon dioxide–molybdenum disulfide (SiO2–MoS2)/kerosene oil, respectively. The flows are taken in a canonical gap between the cone and the disk. Both the cone and the disk may be rotating or stationary. The novelty of the computational model is enhanced by discussing the effects of viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and the variable thermal conductivity with convective condition. The Tawari and Das model is designed to analyze the heat transfer performance of the assumed fluid flows. The assumed fluid model is transmuted into the set of differential equations that are dealt numerically with the bvp4c MATLAB approach. The results are displayed in tables and graphical forms. For elevating estimations of the Eckert number, the heat transmission rate is found to be more significant in the disk than cone. It is also learned that hybrid nanoliquid heat transfer performance outperforms nanoliquid. The fluid velocity increases by raising the nanoparticle volume fraction ϕmol, and is decreasing for a higher magnetic field parameter. With the elevating estimates of thermal conductivity, it is shown that the cone transmits heat more quickly whereas the disc transmits heat more slowly. The thermal conductivity parameter increases the probability of collision of the liquid particles, that ultimately upsurges fluid heat transmission rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on studying the effect of variable thermal conductivity on the reflection of waves propagating through a medium. Considered solid is half space with semiconductor properties. Additionally, we have also introduced the concept of non-local thermoelasticity to develop a stress-strain relation. Using the Helmholtz decomposition principal, we have determined that three longitudinal waves and one transverse wave propagate through the medium after reflection. To account for the thermal signals generated by the elastic vibration, we have used a three-phase lag (3PL) heat conduction model. The numerical computation of the theoretical results is presented graphically for a specific medium. The study of elastic waves passing through the human body is used for diagnosis and treatment. Nature and characteristics of the materials can also be detected by evaluating the behavior of waves reflected and transmitted through them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Slip condition plays a significant role in many heat transfer phenomena such as cleaning microheat exchangers, mechanical heart valve cleaning, and inner cavity polishing. The present study is carried out on the numerical analysis of steady mixed convection (SWCNT + MWCNT/ H2O) hybrid nanofluid flow with slip boundary conditions in the presence of variable thermal conductivity, heat generation and thermal radiation via an exponentially extending sheet. By using the proper exponential similarity transformations, a nonlinear coupled ordinary system is obtained from the coupled partial differential system. The generated ordinary differential systems are resolved using the MATLAB software. Physical characteristics, such as the mixed convection parameter (λ), the velocity slip (A), the thermal slip (B), and the heat generation (QH), that have an impact on temperature, Nusselt number, and velocity field, are shown in graphical and tabular representations. The enhancement of suction and velocity slip causes a reduction in the velocity profile. The findings of the thermal slip test against stretching sheet show that hybrid nanofluid improves the rate of heat transmission by 4.33% when compared to nanofluid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper addresses the melting of phase change solid sphere, which motivates researchers to develop new thermal energy storage (TES) systems techniques. Phase change materials can store or release large amounts of heat in short intervals of time, thus improving the thermal performance of cooling and heating systems in buildings and regulate the temperature of PV systems, batteries and other electronic components. We have considered a convective spherical Stefan problem with thermal conductivity as a function of time and temperature. The heat balance integral method (HBIM) is used to find the problem's solution numerically. The temperature profile is approximated by using n degree polynomial. The influence of governing parameters on the location of melting front and temperature profile is discussed thoroughly. The parameters depict that transition from solid to liquid phase becomes fast for higher values of Stefan number while the transition rate slows down for larger values of Peclet number. The melting rate increases from 20% to 80% when Stefan number rises from 0.1 to 1.0 at a particular time. Moreover, a comparative study of the proposed model with some existing models is being done. It is observed that moving melting front for the assumed problem undergoes a fast melting process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The importance of thermal efficiency in major industrial and engineering sectors cannot be overstated. Numerous processes within these domains require substantial heat transfer, and conventional fluids often fall short in generating the necessary amount of heat for these operations. Recognizing this limitation, there arose a need to enhance the thermal conductivity of ordinary liquids. In response to this challenge, researchers and scientists proposed a groundbreaking idea: the introduction of metallic and non-metallic nano additives into the base fluid to improve its thermal effectiveness. This innovative approach gave rise to a new category of liquids known as hybrid nanofluids. In this article, we delve into the analysis of the 2D steady flow of SWCNT-Fe3O4/H2O and MWCNT-Cu/H2O-based hybrid nanofluid over a stretching and shrinking sheet, taking into account factors such as suction/injection and thermophysical impacts. The utilization of similarity variables enables the reduction of partial differential equations to a more manageable system of ordinary differential equations. To solve these transformed ordinary differential equations, a numerical technique, specifically the shooting algorithm with the bvp4c solver, is employed. The results are presented and elucidated through graphical representations, providing valuable insights into the behavior of the system under consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study of hybrid nanofluid flow bounded by double-revolving disks is crucial due to its significant applications in enhancing heat transfer in various industrial processes, including cooling systems, lubrication technologies, and energy storage systems. This manuscript presents an entropy generation analysis of the magnetohydrodynamic Darcy-Forchheimer flow of a non-Newtonian second-grade hybrid nanofluid between double-revolving disks with variable thermal conductivity. The hybrid nanofluid combines titanium dioxide (TiO2) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles in a base fluid of engine oil. Appropriate similarity transformations convert the dimensional equations governing the flow phenomena into a non-dimensional form. The resulting non-dimensionalized system of equations is then solved using the homotopy analysis method (HAM), a semi-analytical technique. The results are validated by comparing them with previously published work for a specific case of the present analysis, and they are found to be in very good agreement. A comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted to understand the behavior of flow and heat transfer to various physical parameters involved in the study. It was found that there is an enhanced heat transfer rate at both disks when the Reynolds number and titanium dioxide nanoparticle concentration are higher. It was also found that Bejan number declined with increasing Brinkman number.

The aim of this study is to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of Burgers nanofluid in the presence of thermo-diffusion effects. The analysis considers higher-order slip effects to study the transport phenomena. Additionally, the study examines the impact of thermal radiation and chemical reactions on the flow. Variable thermal conductivity assumptions are made for heat transfer analysis. The Cattaneo–Christov model, an extension of Fourier heat and mass theories, is employed for the analysis. Heat transfer evaluation is conducted using convective thermal constraints, and numerical computations are carried out using the Runge–Kutta method. The study visually represents the impact of flow parameters through graphical analysis. It is suggested that heat transfer can be significantly improved through the interaction of slip effects, and the concentration phenomenon is enhanced by the Soret number.

In this work, the flow of ternary hybrid nanomaterials filling porous spaces is investigated in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and nonlinear convection. Three dissimilar nanoparticles copper (Cu), alumina (Al2O3), and magnesium oxide (MgO) are employed. Various features including Ohmic heating, heat generation, and variable thermal conductivity are studied, along with nonlinear radiation and entropy analysis. Solutions are developed using the ND Solve (shooting) method in Mathematica software. Analysis of parameters of interest is conducted, with conclusions highlighting key outcomes. Results show an increase in the thermal field for Eckert number and radiation, while a decrease in liquid flow is observed with increasing the magnetic parameter. The heat transport rate exhibits an opposite trend between heat generation and radiation. Temperature ratio parameter and Prandtl number show opposite trends in the thermal field, while the temperature gradient decreases against variable thermal conductivity. The drag force follows a similar trend against nonlinear convective and porosity variables. The entropy rate increases with the Brinkman number, and both porosity and radiation have an increasing impact on entropy rate. An increase in liquid flow is noted with the nonlinear convection variable. A comparative study of heat transport rate through the Prandtl number shows good agreement.

The aim of this study is to perform analysis of nonlinear mixed convection flow of Carreau fluid due to curved stretched surface with slip condition. Furthermore, the effect of Darcy–Forchheimer and MHD is taken into consideration. The energy equation is modified by considering the variable thermal conductivity with Joule heating effect. The governing equations of the problem are highly nonlinear partial differential equations subjected to boundary conditions. Similarity transformations are used to transform nonlinear PDEs into ODEs. The numerical technique is used to solve this problem via bvp4c. The main outcomes of this research are that the impact of Forchheimer and porosity parameter tends to decrease the fluid velocity for shear thickening case. The velocity slip condition increases the fluid velocity only near the surface but the fluid velocity away from the surface does not get affected. The changing thermal conductivity raises the temperature of the fluid near the boundary. Furthermore, the impacts of various parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are demonstrated. The values of local Nusselt number and skin friction for a different parameter are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, the effect of hydrostatic initial stress is studied with the exited semiconductor material. Electrons are exited at the free surface of the elastic semiconductor medium using the photo-thermal-elastic theory during the transport (diffusion) process. The thermal memories are due to the dual-phase-lag (DPL) relaxation times of the heat conduction equation with a novel model. In this model, the thermal conductivity is chosen as a linear dependent function of the thermal temperature impact which is variable. The effect of gravitational field is taken into account during the two-dimensional (2D) elastic deformation under the impact of an internal heat source. The Kirchhoff transformation mapping is used. The harmonic wave (normal mode) method is applied for the 2D governing equations to obtain the main physical fields analytically. Some thermal and mechanical forces are applied with other elastic-plasma conditions at the free surface of the semiconductor material to get the complete solutions. Some comparisons used a novel parameters which depend on the DPL model and the differences in the thermal conductivity parameters and they are illustrated graphically and discussed.

The current study explores two-dimensional disturbances in a nonlocal photothermoelastic semiconducting medium with two temperatures by implementing the Green Naghdi-II theory. The thermal conductivity of the medium is assumed to be varying with temperature changes. The formulation is subjected to an inclined mechanical load. A lot of research has been carried out in recent years on photothermoelastic medium, but not much attention has been given to study the dynamical interactions in a nonlocal photothermoelastic medium with two temperatures and variable thermal conductivity under the effect of inclined mechanical load. The analytical solutions of physical field variables such as temperatures, stresses, carrier density and displacement are obtained by using the normal mode analysis method. For a specific material, numerical computations are performed to illustrate the results. The results that were obtained through numerical analysis for the physical quantities are displayed graphically. The comparisons are made among the results obtained by taking into account the different values of time, inclination angle, two temperature parameter, nonlocal parameter, variable thermal conductivity and photothermal elastic constants. Some special cases of interest have been inferred from the present study for validation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
