The induced magnetic field is used to control the fluid motion and heat transfer in a variety of applications, such as in MHD devices, microfluidics, electrically conducting fluids in channels and in circular pipes, and clinical applications such as drug delivery and cooling of nuclear reactors. Henceforth this investigation aims to elucidate the behavior of viscoelastic (second-grade fluid) ternary nanofluid flow through a permeable stretching sheet with an induced magnetic field. The stretching surface is subjected to the Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux model to investigate heat and mass transfer properties. Solutions of reduced governing equations are obtained numerically via the shooting method and computed using the bvp-4c algorithm. The impacts of diverse active parameters such as porous medium, magnetic parameter, reciprocal magnetic Prandtl parameter, stretching parameter, HSS parameter, and relaxation time parameter for heat and mass flux are studied graphically. In addition, the values of significant engineering factors are calculated and comparative analysis is presented through bar graphs. It is seen that regular heat sink/source promotes thermal distribution and relaxation time for mass flux enhances the mass transfer rate between fluid flow and solid surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Casson viscous gas fluid flow with mass transpiration and radiation is demonstrated in this paper. A similarity transformation is utilized to interpret the representing construction of nonlinear PDEs by nonlinear ODEs. Then, using an exact analysis of the momentum equation, we constructed the dual solutions to the flow problem. This solution domain aids in the solution of the energy equation under the incomplete gamma function condition. The effect of radiation can also be seen in the heat equation. Physical parameters of interest, such as Brinkman number, porous media, thermal radiation number, induced slip, suction/injection and shear stress, are examined and graphically depicted. The gas slip velocity is used to simulate the slip flow model of the overall mass transfer on the moving sheet. Models of first- and second-order slip are introduced to induce the total mass transfer on the moving sheet. Additionally, the suction that causes the slip velocity rather than surface movement is investigated. The neighboring gases are forced to flow in the opposite direction of sheet movement by the mass suction-induced slip. As a result, the slip-induced suction and sheet movement cause the solution space to increase. The closed-form exact solutions are achieved for both the stretching and shrinking sheet cases. For stretched sheet instances, there is never a uniform solution. However, depending on the values of the Casson and wall mass transfer parameters, the solution in the case of the shrinking sheet may or may not exist, and if it does, it may or may not be unique or may have a dual nature. The research also demonstrates that stronger mass suction is required for a consistent flow of Casson fluid. The impacts of inverse Darcy number, induced slip parameter, Casson fluid and suction/injection on the flow and heat transfer properties of the fluid are examined under the influence of radiation, and the solution of each profile is shown in the form of figures along with the outcomes of the interface velocity and heat transfer rate at the surface.

The Darcy–Forchheimer model is a commonly used and accurate method for simulating flow in porous media, proving beneficial for fluid separation, heat exchange, subsurface fluid transfer, filtration, and purification. The current study aims to describe heat and mass transfer in ternary nanofluid flow on a radially stretched sheet with activation energy. The velocity equation includes Darcy–Fochheimer porous media effects. The novelty of this study is enhanced by incorporating gyrotactic microorganisms which are versatile and in nanofluid can greatly improve the thermal conductivity and heat transfer properties of the base fluid, resulting in more efficient heat transfer systems. Furthermore, the governing PDEs are reduced to ODEs via appropriate similarity transformations. The influence of numerous parameters is expanded and physically depicted through the graphical illustration. As the Forchheimer number escalates, so do the medium's porosity and drag coefficient, resulting in more resistive forces and, as a result, lowering fluid velocity. It has been discovered that increasing the exponential heat source/sink causes convective flows that are deficient to transport heat away efficiently, resulting in a slower heat transfer rate. The concentration profile accumulates when the activation energy is large, resulting in a drop in the mass transfer rate. It is observed that the density of motile microorganisms increases with a rise in the Peclet number. Further, the results of the major engineering coefficients Skin-friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and Microorganism density number are numerically examined and tabulated. Also, the numerical outcomes were found to be identical to the previous study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current studies analytically summarize the impact of magnetohydrodynamic and thermal radiation on the non-Newtonian continuous uniform motion of viscid non-compressible nanofluid across a penetrable stretching/shrinking sheet, even though accomplish Navier's first and second order slips along mass transpiration. Blood-bearing silver and copper nanomaterials have distinct flow and heat transfer properties when exposed to heat. Silver (Ag) as well as copper (Cu) nanoparticles are assumed to be present in blood as the non-Newtonian liquid; this fluid serves as the base. We anticipate that the current study will be useful in fields including food, petrochemical products, and medicines, as well as blood circulation, and highly beneficial for patients who are dealing with blood clotting in the uterus, which may result in infertility or cancer, to evaluate the blood flow in the tube. Employing the similarity conversion technique, the ruling partial differential equations are modified into a couple of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Then the transformed ordinary differential equations are analytically solved with the Laplace transformation and expressed in terms of an incomplete gamma function. The current analytical results are compared to previous studies. It is addressed how several physical features such as magnetic field M, Navier's first and second order slip, permeability, Prandtl number Pr, and radiation parameter affect non-dimensional velocity as well as temperature patterns through graphs. The results obtained reveal that there is an enhancement in the rate of heat transfer with the rise in nanoparticle volume fraction and radiation. The temperature distribution is also influenced by the presence of Prandtl numbers, radiation, solid volume fraction, permeability, and slip conditions. This shows that the solid volume fraction of nanoparticles can be used to control the behaviour of heat transfer and nanofluid flows. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present analysis, we investigate the magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) Casson fluid flow on the stretching/shrinking surface with mass suction/injection. The modeled boundary problem leads to highly partial differential equations, which are then transformed to ordinary differential equations by utilizing similarity variables. Finally, the resulting ordinary differential equations are explained analytically by using different controlling parameters and corresponding boundary conditions. The results of various parameters, for example, porous medium parameter, magnetic parameter, suction/injection parameter can be analyzed using graphical form. The outcomes of the investigation reveals that, for the stretching scenario, transverse velocity and tangential velocity both drop as the values of the Casson fluid parameter rise, whereas for the shrinking case, transverse velocity rises. The present problem has demands in industrial and engineering applications for instance glass filament, paper and food manufacture, crystal growth and liquid films, and printing technology.

Hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) comprise combinations of different nanoparticles suspended in base fluid. Applications of such nanofluids are rising in the areas of energy and biomedical engineering including smart (functional) coatings. Motivated by these developments, the present article examines theoretically the magnetohydrodynamic coating boundary layer flow of HNFs from a stretching sheet under the transverse magnetic field in porous media with chemically reactive nanoparticles. Darcy's law is deployed. Momentum slips of both first and second order are included as is solutal slip. The transformed boundary value problem is solved analytically. Closed form solutions for velocity are derived in terms of exponential functions and for the concentration field in terms of incomplete Gamma functions by the application of the Laplace transformation technique. The influence of selected parameters e.g. suction/injection, magnetic field and slips on velocity and concentration distributions are visualized graphically. Concentration magnitudes are elevated with stronger magnetic field whereas they are suppressed with greater wall solutal slip. Magnetic field suppresses velocity and increases the thickness of the hydrodynamic boundary layer. The flow is accelerated with reduction in inverse Darcy number and stronger suction direct to reduce in skin friction. The concentration magnitudes are boosted with magnetic field whereas they are depleted with increasing solutal slip. The analysis provides a good foundation for further investigations using numerical methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A steady-state, two-dimensional flow of Rivlin-Ericksen magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) fluid flow induced by stretching of the sheet of porous medium considering heat and mass transfer is investigated in the present analysis. The fluid flow is influenced by a uniform magnetic field. The inverse Darcy model, as well as thermohydrodynamic characteristics, is taken into account. Within thermal analysis effects of temperature-dependent heat source/sink, viscous dissipation, heat generation due to the elastic deformation, and thermal radiation are considered. Mass transfer is concentrated to chemically reactive diffusive species by means of first-order chemical conversion rate. The similarity transformations are employed to convert highly non-linear governing partial differential equations into a set of ordinary differential equations. Then the analytical results of the temperature and mass transfer equations are expressed in the form of Kummer's function for two different cases namely prescribed surface temperature and prescribed heat flux cases.

An investigation of 2D laminar magnetohydrodynamics couple stress hybrid nanofluid is performed with inclined magnetic field over the stretching/-shrinking surface embedded in porous media. The quiescent water-based nanofluid is subjected to the external force by pulling the two ends of the sheet with equal magnitude and opposite forces. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) by adopting the suitable similarity transformation and obtains the analytical solution for velocity. The hydrodynamic characteristics are investigated in the presence of different physical parameters such as couple stress parameter, magnetic parameter, mass transpiration, stretching/shrinking parameter, porosity and magnetic parameter with the help of graphs. The thermal properties are enhanced by adding the copper and alumina nanoparticles to the base fluid. The result of this study has important applications in industrial and scientific are such as polymer extrusion process, liquid crystal solidification, cement artificial foams production, ceramics, metal spinning, and roofing shingles and also have possible technological applications in fluid-based systems involving stretchable/shrinkable materials.

The steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) incompressible hybrid nanofluid flow and mass transfer due to porous stretching surface with quadratic velocity is investigated in the presence of mass transpiration and chemical reaction. The basic laminar boundary layer equations for momentum and mass transfer, which are non-linear partial differential equations, are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformation. The mass equation in the presence of chemical reaction is a differential equation with variable coefficients, which is transformed to a confluent hypergeometric differential equation. The mass transfer is analyzed for two different boundary conditions of concentration field that are prescribed surface concentration (PSC) and prescribed mass flux (PMF). The asymptotic solution of concentration filed for large Schmidt number is analyzed using Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin (WKB) method. The parameters influence the flow are suction/injection, superlinear stretching parameter, porosity, magnetic parameter, hybrid nanofluid terms, Brinkman ratio and the effect of these are analysed using graphs.

Thermosolutal Marangoni boundary layer flows are of great interest due to their applications in industrial applications such as drying of silicon wafers, thin layers of paint, glues, in heat exchangers, and crystal growth in space. The present analysis deals with the effect of chemical radiation and heat absorption/generation of the viscous fluid flow on a thermosolutal Marangoni porous boundary with mass transpiration and heat source/sink. The physical flow problem is mathematically modeled into Navier–Stokes equations. These nonlinear partial differential equations are then mapped into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The analytical solutions for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are rigorously derived. The solutions so obtained are analyzed through various plots to demonstrate the effect of various physical parameters such as mass transpiration parameter Vc, inverse Darcy number Da−1, Marangoni number Ma, Schmidt number Sc, chemical reaction coefficient (K), Prandtl number (Pr), thermal radiation parameter (NR), and the heat source/sink parameter (I) on the momentum/thermal boundary, and their physical insights are also reported.

On the basis of Darcy–Brinkman model, linear stability analysis is used to study bio-thermal convection in a suspension of gyrotactic microorganisms in a highly porous medium heated from below. A Galerkin method is performed to solve the governing equations generating a correlation between the traditional thermal Rayleigh number and the critical value of the bioconvection Rayleigh number. The effects of three variables including the bioconvection Péclet number, the gyrotaxis number and the modified Darcy number on both the wave number and the critical bioconvection Rayleigh number are analyzed and shown graphically. Results indicate that the critical bioconvection Rayleigh number becomes larger with increasing Darcy number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the current work, we have investigated the flow past a semi-infinite porous solid media, after presenting a similarity transformation, governing equations mapped to a system of non-linear PDE. The flow of a dusty fluid and heat transfer through a porous medium have few applications, viz., the polymer processing unit of a geophysical, allied area, and chemical engineering plant. Further, we had the option to get an exact analytical solution for the velocity to the equation that is non-linear. The highlight of the current work is the flow of hybrid dusty nanofluid due to Darcy porous media through linear thermal radiation with the assistance of an analytical process. The hybrid dusty nanofluid has significant features improving the heat transfer process and is extensively developed in manufacturing industrial uses. It was found that the basic similarity equations admit two phases for both stretching/shrinking surfaces. The existence of computation on velocity and temperature profile is presented graphically for different estimations of various physical parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cooling of heat-generating elements is a challenging problem in engineering. In this article, the transient free convection of a temperature-dependent viscosity liquid inside the porous cavity with copper radiator and the heat-generating element is studied using mathematical modeling techniques. The vertical and top walls of the chamber are kept at low constant temperature, while the bottom wall is kept adiabatic. The working fluid is a heat-conducting liquid with temperature-dependent viscosity. A mathematical model is developed based on dimensionless stream function, vorticity, and temperature variables. The governing properties are the variable viscosity, geometric parameters of the radiator, and size of thermally insulated strip on vertical surfaces of the cavity. The effect of these parameters on the energy transport and circulation patterns are analyzed numerically. Based on the numerical results obtained, recommendations are given on the optimal values of the governing parameters for the effective operation of the cooling system. It is shown that the optimal number of radiator fins for the cooling system configuration under consideration is 3. In addition, the thermal insulation of the vertical walls and the increased thickness of the radiator fins have a negative effect on the operation of the cooling system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
