By means of proper similarity conversion, the boundary layer flow governing PDEs was changed into systems of dimensionless coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Subsequently, the consequent nonlinear momentum and energy equations with their boundary conditions were worked out numerically employing the spectral quasilinearization method (SQLM). The convergence, stability, and accuracy of the SQLM were established as a computationally efficient method to solve a coupled system of boundary layer problems. It is specified that 5% of SWCNTs, 20% of Fe3O4, and 75% of C2H6O2 being taken for the preparation of (SWCNTs−Fe3O4)/C2H6O2 hybrid nanofluid with shape factor n1 = n2 = 3, and the values of the parameters used are fixed to M = 5, S = 0.5, β = 5, κ = 0.5, Ec = 2, Λ = 2, Pr = 7.3, α = 0.5, δ = 0. The effects of more perceptible parameters on velocity and thermal flow fields were considered and scrutinized carefully via graphs and tables. The results disclose that the momentum and thermal boundary layer thickness markedly declined with more value of the unsteady parameter. The local heat transfer rate improves nearly by 14% as 0.2 volume of Fe3O4 nanoparticles dispersed in 0.05 volume of SWCNTs and 0.75 volume of C2H6O2 nanofluid, hence, in realistic uses adding more values of nanoparticles in the hybrid nanofluids is useful to progress the heating process. The study is novel since to the best of the author’s knowledge, no paper has been published so far on the unsteady flow of (SWNT-Fe3O4)-Ethylene glycol hybrid Casson nanofluid with the effects of the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. As well, the model used for the thermophysical properties of the hybrid nanofluid is a new approach. Generally, hybrid nanofluids of (SWCNTs-Fe3O4)/C2H6O2 show better flow distributions with good stability of thermal properties than their mono counterparts.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139328189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An approximated numerical technique (Shooting method along with Runge-Kutta 4th order scheme) have been employed to analyse the system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The above numerical investigations were carried out for various governing parameters such as couple stress parameter, Hartmann number, bioconvection Peclet number, squeezing parameter etc. The effects of these physical parameters are illustrated graphically over velocity components, temperature distribution, diffusion of concentration and density of motile microorganisms. In addition to this the numerical values of skin friction, the local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are tabulated at the upper plate for CuO-water and CuO–Al2O3-water at the expanding and squeezing cases.

Srinivasa Raju","doi":"10.1166/jon.2023.2054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1166/jon.2023.2054","url":null,"abstract":"The most well-known research areas in computational fluid dynamics are concerned with the interplay of fluid flow with chemical reaction and activation energy. According to the findings of several studies, its industrial applications include simulating the flow inside a nuclear reactor, for which it has received appreciation from many researchers. This study, driven by the use of flow in industrial challenges, explores the impacts of activation energy and chemical reaction on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Darcy–Forchheimer squeezed Casson fluid flow through a porous material across the horizontal channel. The flow is produced when two horizontal plates are compressed to create more space between them. By using similarity variables, one may successfully convert partial differential equations (PDEs) to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The shooting technique was used to carry out the numerical analysis, which entailed solving the competent governing equations with dominating parameters for a thin liquid layer. This was done to determine the results of the study. To validate the current solutions, it is vital to evaluate the numerical findings alongside the results of the prior research. The findings indicate that fluid velocity and temperature increases may be expected as the plates are brought closer together. In addition, there was a correlation between a rise in the Hartmann number and a decrease in the fluid’s velocity and concentration because of the existence of strong Lorentz forces. The temperature and the concentration of the liquid will increase due to the Brownian motion. When the Darcy–Forchheimer and activation energy parameters are both increased, the velocity and concentration decrease.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139326340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ruo, Wei-Mon Yan, Min-Hsing Chang","doi":"10.1166/jon.2023.2052","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1166/jon.2023.2052","url":null,"abstract":"To reveal the mechanism of the enhanced heat transfer in nanofluids, Buongiorno (ASME J. Heat Transfer, vol. 128, 2006, pp. 240–250) developed a convective transport model by considering the slip mechanisms of nanoparticles migration. By now, many extended researches are based on his model. Among them, the study on porous medium flow pioneered by Nield & Kuznetsov (Int. J. Heat & Mass Transfer, vol. 52, 2009, pp.5796–5801) has received much attention. Their work employed the Darcy model and Buongiorno’s model to investigate the thermal instability in a horizontal porous medium layer saturated by a nanofluid. Through a sophisticated analysis, they obtained an approximate formula capable of predicting the stability threshold. However, a potential contradiction exists in their analysis owing to an improper assumption about the thermophoretic coefficient, which may lead to an unphysical result. To date, much of current works still adopted this improper assumption in various extended problems. To resolve this contradiction, the present study revises their work by considering the dependence of thermophoretic coefficient on the volume fraction of nanoparticles. A nonlinear basic-state solution of concentration is obtained and then used to implement the linear stability analysis. In comparison with Nield’s formula, the present result shows that the threshold of instability shifts to a lower concentration by more than one order of magnitude. The mechanism causing the shift is discussed and the novelty of the present study is stressed.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139325728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of tri-hybrid nanofluid have been developed which shows the impact of three nanoparticles at the same time in a single fluid. This newly developed tri-hybrid mixture model getting more attention and performed better than hybrid and nanofluid. Owing to its important applications an attempt has made in this article to investigate the Casson ternary hybrid nanofluids flow along a stretching cylinder through porous medium subject to the influence of microorganism in the modeled equations. The strength of magnetic field has employed in upward direction of the flow system, and Activation Energy effect is addressed. The main equations of fluid motion have been converted to dimensionless format using set of suitable variables. In this work it has noticed that, growth in permeability parameter, Casson and magnetic factors result in more resistive force to fluid motion that declines the velocity characteristics. Moreover, the temperature distribution has grown up while the concentration characteristics have declined with growing values of Brownian factor. Furthermore, microorganism characteristics decay with growth in bio-convection Lewis and Peclet numbers. The impact of these parameters upon heat, mass and motile transfer rates has been evaluated in the tabular form.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139330339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the hydrodynamical behaviors and heat transfer characteristics of Cu–H2O nanofluid through a porous medium microchannel with thermal radiation and convective heating. The highly non-linear partial differential equations that govern the momentum and energy equations are formulated, non-dimensionalized, transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically via the fourth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Consequently, the numerical simulation reveals that the nanofluid velocity and temperature profiles show a rising pattern with increasing values of the pressure gradient parameter, variable viscosity parameter, Darcy number, thermal Grashof number and Eckert number. The temperature profile escalates with the Prandtl number however it diminishes with the Biot number, Forchheimer number, suction/injection Reynolds number and nanoparticles volume fraction. Furthermore, the thermal radiation parameter indicates a retarding effect on the temperature profile and hence, radiation quite effectively controls the microchannel temperature distribution which plays a significant role in cooling the flow transport system. The skin friction coefficient at both microchannel walls indicates a rising pattern with the suction/injection Reynolds number, thermal Grashof number, Eckert number and Darcy number. Moreover, at both microchannel walls the heat transfer rate enhances for large values of the suction/injection Reynolds number, thermal Grashof number, Eckert number, variable viscosity parameter and Darcy number whereas it decreases with the thermal radiation parameter, Forchheimer number and nanoparticles volume fraction. The Biot number reveals an opposite effect on the heat transfer rate at the left and right walls of the microvhannel.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139326916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
