The study focuses on fluctuating heat source changes and non-uniform thermal conductivity patterns. This nano-bioconvection flow example is estimated using a passively controlled nanofluid pattern, which is thought to be more physically accurate than actively controlled nanofluids. With the help of the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithm and non-linear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (LMBA-NARX), a stochastic technique, the goal of this research project is to describe the model and valuation of a differential mathematical system of the effect of bioconvection and chemical reaction on Magneto-Carreau nano fluid. This will make it possible to calculate the dynamics in a more precise, trustworthy, and proficient manner. Using the Mathematica software’s Adams approach, a reference dataset for LMBA-NARX is created for the many significant parameters of the model including curvature parameter λ, magnetic field M, mixed convection Ri, power law index n, Prandtl number Pr and Buoyancy free ration factor Nr representing different situations. In order to improve and compete the estimated outcomes with standard solutions, the outcomes of reference data are trained by including eighty percent for training and twenty percent for validation and testing methods. The stability and accuracy of LMBA-NARX is endorsed through mean square error fitness curves, regression analysis, autocorrelation of error, correlation between input and error, measured by histogram plots and evaluation of absolute errors.

The study also explores the mechanism behind the wear state transition. The results show that the friction coefficient initially increases, then decreases, and increases again with increasing load. The initial rise is attributed to an increase in surface roughness. As the tribo-layer forms, the friction coefficient gradually decreases. However, with a further increase in load, the tribo-layer begins to wear, leading to scuffing and a rapid increase in the friction coefficient. Graphite and phosphorus eutectic in the cylinder liner are the primary contributors to crack formation in both the tribo-layer and the substrate.

These characteristics make it highly desirable across industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace. However, machining AISI 4340 poses substantial challenges due to the complex thermomechanical loading and high strain rates involved, which generate significant heat. This heat leads to accelerated tool wear, diminished productivity, and poor surface quality. High-speed machining (HSM) processes have shown promise in improving material removal rates and surface finish quality. However, the elevated temperatures in the cutting zone remain a critical concern, particularly in terms of tool durability. In response to these challenges, the development of virtual models has gained importance for reducing research time and costs. This review synthesizes relevant literature from the past decade, focusing on the application of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in machining processes involving AISI 4340 steel. It highlights the critical role of simulation techniques in optimizing machining processes, addressing key challenges, and improving overall operational efficiency and precision. For instance, FEA is extensively used for chip formation and machining response prediction, requiring careful consideration of cutting parameters and meshing quality to ensure accuracy. Meanwhile, CFD studies have primarily explored low cutting speeds and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) systems, but not under high-speed cutting conditions. Most studies conducted have utilized FEA and CFD separately. Therefore, this review examines current trends and future directions, including the integration of CFD and FEA models for high-speed machining applications. Notably, most research on AISI 4340 machining has concentrated on improving cutting tools, optimizing cutting parameters, and advancing modelling techniques under dry machining conditions, but limited attention to coolant-assisted machining or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) application.
