Abstract

In recent times, the field of nanotechnology has been instrumental in driving significant breakthroughs in heat transport. These technological breakthroughs have shown their significance in improving the efficiency of heat exchangers, such as thermal pipes, microfluidic structures, and electronic components that depend on effective heat transfer processes. This study aims to explore innovative methods for enhancing heat transfer effectiveness. The present investigation focuses on the two-dimensional, incompressible, electrically conducting ternary liquid flow between two parallel porous plates in a microchannel. This has been considered with the convective boundary conditions employing the thermophoretic particle deposition phenomena. The numerical results of the mathematical, physical problem entailed a similar solution employed with the RKF-45 method. The stimulus of these process-sensitive non-dimensional parameters has been discussed and presented graphically with validation of the published results. The velocity profiles decline as increment in S 1 and M F whereas the thermal profile lessens with the augmentation in Biot numbers Bi 1 and Bi 2 . Moreover, the study emphasizes that the mass and thermal energy distribution rates exhibit a reduction when the solid volume percentage, thermophoretic constraints, and the existence of a porous medium increase. The ramifications of these discoveries are significant in terms of the design and optimization of microfluidic devices and thermal exchangers. The findings are visually shown using illustrations, offering valuable insights into the intricate relationships among the variables under investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
