The system of governing equations is reduced into ODEs utilizing appropriate similarity transformations. The similarity transformations are obtained via the Lie scaling group of transformations. Dual similarity solutions are detected depending on the opposing flow parameter for stretching and shrinking cases. The effects of pertinent parameters on the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, velocity, and temperature fields are examined in detail. The influence of the suction parameter on the variations of skin friction coefficient for the stretching case shows various behavior than in the shrinking case. However, on the variations of the Nusselt number, a similar trend in both the stretching and shrinking cases is observed. The fluid velocity decreases, and the temperature rises with the increment of non-Newtonian parameter in the upper branch, whereas the lower branch depicts opposite trends. Due to the different characteristics of the lower branch than the upper branch, it is necessary to find a physically reliable solution branch. Thus, a linear temporal stability analysis is conducted based on the sign of the smallest eigenvalue. The smallest eigenvalues are determined numerically using the shooting technique, revealing that the upper branch is the only stable solution branch.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139326649","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}

Considering different arrangements of baffle sticks on both the vertical walls, four geometrical configurations (Case-I, Case-II, Case-III and Case-IV) have been analyzed. Numerical simulation has been performed for the governing Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations in streamfunction - vorticity form having energy equation. These coupled equations are solved by proposing a higher-order compact finite difference method. The combination of five important aspects (hybrid nanofluid, multiple baffles, magnetic field dependent viscosity (MFDV), magnetic field and compact computation) signifies the novelty of this work. Fluid flow and transportation of thermal energy within the stipulated domain are presented for various flow pertinent parameters. The outcomes show that the increase in number of baffles diminishes the average Nusselt number values. It is concluded here that an increase in Hartmann number from 0 to 90 leads to a decrease in average Nusselt number up to 23.7% for Case-I, 23.8% for Case-II, 21.2% for Case-III and 28% for Case-IV in presence of MFDV effects.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139330449","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 fluids in these applications are prone to flow separation and bifurcations. To deal with such type of problems, a novel idea of a converging or diverging type Riga plate channel is introduced in this study. The Riga plates are utilised to produce the cross-flow magnetic and electric fields which give rise to an exponentially decaying Lorentz force. Also, a porous matrix with variable permeability is considered to fill the Riga plate channel. The thermal equilibrium state between the hybrid nanofluid and porous media is ignored i.e., a local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) approach is adopted to model the energy balance equations. The dimension-free form of the guiding equations is tackled by using the Chebyshev pseudospectral quasi-linearization method. The heat transfer rate is respectively incremented by 21.42% and 63.12% in the converging and diverging flow regimes, with the inclusion of a Riga Sheet. The skin friction coefficient is depressed with modified Hartmann number (Ha*) and porosity (ε) for the converging/diverging flow regime.

The present study is novel in terms of entropy generation and heat transfer rate investigation for mentioned fluid system in the existence of dissipation (an irreversible process) and heat generation/absorption impact. First, a mathematical pattern is prepared in the form of partial differential equations to represent the Marangoni convection flow and temperature, considering suitable boundary conditions.

Nanofluid compared to the base fluid has higher thermal conduction. The thermal conductivity of nanofluid increased and thus increases the amount of energy transferred. The Oldroyd-B fluid model is important because of its numerous applications such as production of plastic sheet and extrusion of polymers through a slit die in polymer industry, biological solution pant tars glues, etc. In linear stability analysis, we found the expression of the critical Hele-Shaw Rayleigh number by using the normal mode method. Two-term Fourier series method is used for non-linear stability analysis and is also considered the Brinkman model for flow of nanofluid in Hele-Shaw cell. In linear stability analysis, we observed that there is no effect of Oldroyd-B nanofluid, which means that Deborah number (λ1) and retardation parameter (λ2) do not affect the stability analysis. Oldroyd-B nanofluid is similar to ordinary nanofluid in linear analysis. In non-linear analysis, Deborah number, retardation parameter, throughflow, gravity modulation, and Hele-Shaw number play a major role in heat/mass transfer. Enhancement in both heat/mass transfer in the system while increasing throughflow and Deborah number. An increment in Hele-Shaw number (Hs), decreases heat/mass transfer in the system.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139327582","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}

However, conventional methods for prototyping microfluidic systems can be slow and expensive. In this study, we present a novel approach to rapid prototyping that combines femtosecond laser ablation and finite element method (FEM) simulation. The optimization of the prototyping process was achieved through systematic characterization of the laser ablation process and the application of FEM simulation to predict the flow behavior of the microfluidic devices. Using a dean-coupled inertial flow device (DCIFD) that comprises one channel bend and three outlets side-channels. DCIF is a phenomenon that occurs in curved microfluidic channels and is considered by the existence of inconsequential flow patterns perpendicular to the main flow direction. The DCIF can enhance the separation efficiency in microfluidic devices by inducing lateral migration of particles or cells towards specific locations along the channel. This lateral migration can be controlled by adjusting the curvature and dimensions of the channel, as well as the flow rate and properties of the fluid. Overall, DCIF can provide a valuable means of achieving efficient and high-throughput separation of particles or cells in microfluidic devices. Therefore, various microfluidics designs that contain different outlet channels were studied in this research to improve blood plasma separation efficiency. Results from imitated blood flow experiments showed positive results for fluid flow and particle separation. The study also found that incorporating three various channel widths is the key to achieving efficient plasma separation, indicating that this result could serve as a guideline for future microfluidics geometry specifications in the field of blood plasma separation. According to the FEM simulation, the highest separation percentage for both microparticle sizes was obtained by incorporating a variable outlet channel width into the same microfluidic device. The FEM simulation revealed that around 95% of the larger microparticles separated while 98% of the smaller microparticles separated. This is consistent with the imitated blood separation results, which showed that 91% of the larger microparticles separated and around 93% of the smaller microparticles were separated. Overall, our results demonstrate that the combination of femtosecond laser ablation and FEM simulation significantly improved the prototyping speed and efficiency while maintaining high blood separation performance.","PeriodicalId":47161,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanofluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139328414","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}
