This paper scrutinizes the consequences of radiation and heat consumption of MHD convective flow of nanofluid on a heated stretchy plate with injection/suction and convective heating/cooling conditions. The nanofluid encompasses with C u and A g nanoparticles. We enforce the suited transformation to remodel the governing mathematical models to ODE models. The HAM (homotopy analysis method) idea is applied to derive the series solutions. The divergence of fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, entropy generation, and Bejan number on disparate governing parameters is exhibited via graphs and tables. It is seen that the fluid velocity in both directions is subsided when elevating the magnetic field and Forchheimer number. Also, the C u nanoparticles possess hefty speed compared to A g nanoparticles because the density of A g nanoparticles is high compared to that of C u nanoparticles. The fluid temperature upturns when enlarging the heat generation and radiation parameters. The skin friction coefficients and local Nusselt number are high in A g nanoparticles than in C u nanoparticles.

Abstract Significant impact of unsteady Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion, random motion and thermo-migration of tiny particles on thermal storage and in heat exchangers devices has attracted us to investigate the role of these thermal engineering terms in the existence of convectively heating and zero-mass flux at the bidirectionally stretchable wall. Combination of similarity expressions is adopted to transform the prevailing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations and then solved, numerically, by using Keller-Box simulation technique. Temperature and concentration phases are discussed under the influences of involved parameters, graphically. It is detected that thermal relaxation dependent on heat flux maximizes the temperature gradient, whereas thermal relaxation dependent on mass flux minimizes the concentration gradient. It is also scrutinized that escalating choice of random motion of tiny particles provides constant temperature gradient because of Nield’s expression. Moreover, augmenting choice of thermo-migration of tiny particles enhances the concentration gradient. Furthermore, intensifying choice of unsteady factor abridges the temperature plus concentration distributions and also it condenses all the three boundary layer thicknesses.

Motivated by the significant role of nanofluid in pollution cleaning and energy recovery, we decided to explore the unsteady three-dimensional rotating flow of nanofluid driven by the movement of a flat surface with the potencies of prescribed heat distributions. The modeling of the physical model is completed with the help of Buongiorno nanofluid model. Suitable arrangement of similarity variables is implemented to transform the model equations into strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Numerical inspection of the model is made by employing Keller–Box algorithm. Influences of involved parameters on the distributions of heat and mass are discussed graphically, while the potencies of influential parameters on reduced Nusselt and reduced Sherwood numbers are physically discussed through tabular arrangements. It is deduced that increasing the values of Prandtl factor and heat controlling indices diminishes the temperature and concentration distributions, whereas intensification in the amount of rotation factor enhances the temperature as well as concentration distribution. Moreover, negative trends in the amounts of reduced Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are achieved with the escalations in the values of rotation and thermophoresis factors, whereas opposite trend is achieved with the intensification in the choice of Prandtl factor.

The countless applications of nanofluids in the improvements of nanotechnology, thermal and physical analogies have attracted our attention to frame an unsteady mathematical model for bi-directional flow of a Newtonian nanofluid over a stretching sheet with the potencies of nonzero and zero mass fluxes. Mathematically, this newly presented analysis is more genuine, where the action of a prescribed heat source at a stretching surface is used to control the distribution of heat. Mathematical formulation is carried out using a novel two-phase nanofluid model. Dimensionless forms of governing equations are obtained with the help of a suitable set of variables. The transformed equations are then solved by using an innovative computational technique, namely, Keller–Box approach. Moreover, the convergence of the numerical solution has been discussed via grid-independence tactic. The results for reduced Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have been arranged in the form of a table with CPU run time. Graphical illustrations have been presented for concentration and temperature distributions. It is inspected that escalating amounts of heat distribution indices reduce the mass concentration and the temperature of the nanomaterial. Rate of heat transference is noticed approximately 228.62% higher, while rate of mass transference is observed approximately 16.79% lower when analysis is shifted to zero mass flux environment from nonzero normal mass flux environment.

Current continuation describes the computational study concerning with the unsteady flow of Eyring–Powell magneto nanoliquid over a bidirectionally deformable surface. Transference of activation energy is used in the improvement of binary chemical reaction. Nonlinear significance of thermal radiation is also incorporated in the energy equation. Investigation has been carried out through convective Nield’s boundary restrictions. Firstly, useful combination of variables has been implemented to alter the governing PDEs into ODEs. Later on, Keller-Box approach has been adopted to obtain the numerical solution of the physical problem. Physical interpretations of obtained results are also described for temperature and mass concentration distributions through various graphs. Rate of heat transportation has been explained through tabular data for acceptable ranges of involved engineering parameters. It is detected that escalating amount of Brownian constraint provides a constant temperature distribution. It is also inspected through present investigation that escalating amounts of activation energy factor, thermophoresis parameter, radiation parameter, Biot number and temperature ratio parameter improve the concentration field. Moreover, the amount of heat transport has considerably improved by increasing the amounts of temperature controlling indices and Biot number. Convergence analysis and error estimations of the numerical solution are also presented through various mesh refinement levels of the computational domain. Finally, comparison benchmarks with the restricted cases have been presented for the validation of the results obtained through the present parametric investigation.

Abstract Motivated by the remarkable usages of prescribed heat sources in the areas of solar energy and thermal engineering, we frame a mathematical model for unsteady flow of magnetized Eyring-Powell nanomaterial driven by a bi-directionally moveable surface with the nonlinearity of solar radiation. Basically, this newly stated approach is more genuine, where prescribed heat sources (PST and PHF) are used to maintain the surface temperature and quantities of thermal engineering interest are inspected in a more effective way. A proper combination of variables is adopted to convert the PDEs into ODEs and then numerically solved by utilizing Keller-Box approach. The foremost outcomes for the rate of heat and the rate of mass transferences are anticipated through various tables and graphs. It is observed through present investigation that escalating values of temperature controlled indices, solar radiation constraint and temperature ratio constraint enhance the rate of heat transference, whereas rising amount of thermophoresis constraint reduces the rate of mass transference. Finally, a comparison with the restricted case is also established to validate the whole parametric study.

In this communication, bidirectional flow of Casson nanomaterial driven by an unsteady moveable surface in the region of boundary layer is analyzed. Moreover, the significances of porous space, magnetic field, prescribed surface temperature (PST), and prescribed surface heat flux are also incorporated. Furthermore, the aspects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are also comprised through Buongiorno nanofluid model. Governing equations are firstly transformed into system of ordinary differential equations by using a suitable combination of variables, and then computational assessment is made through Keller-Box method. Graphical illustrations for temperature distribution, concentration distribution, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number against escalating amounts of pertinent parameters are presented. It is observed that escalating amounts of unsteady parameter and temperature controlled indices reduce the temperature distribution, as well as the concentration distribution. It is also observed that increasing amounts of Casson parameter enhances the rate of heat transfer, and reduces the rate of mass transfer for PST case. Finally, a comparison benchmark for limited case has been presented to validate the present methodology.

The numerous applications of non-Newtonian nanofluids in engineering, geothermal and industrial processes motivated us to formulate a comprehensive model for unsteady 3D flow of an Oldroyd-B nanomaterial. Brownian motion and thermophoresis characteristics are also accommodated through a Buongiorno nanofluid model. Moreover, assessments of thermal stratification, chemical reaction, solutal stratification, mixed convection, and prescribed heat source are also elucidated in the combinations of momentum, energy, and concentration equations. The transformed system of ODEs is tackled by homotopy analysis method. A comparison benchmark for limited cases is also constructed to confirm the correctness of whole parametric exploration. It is scrutinized through present communication that intensifying values of Prandtl factor, unsteady factor, heat distribution indices, thermal stratification constraint, mixed convective parameter, and Deborah number for time retardation diminish the temperature of the nanomaterial. Also, escalating amounts of Lewis number, chemically reactive species, Brownian motion parameter, and solutal stratification constraint reduce the concentration profile.

Abstract Bi-directional unsteady flow of nanomaterial has been explored in the existence of Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion. Brownian motion, thermophoresis and heat sources namely PST (prescribed surface temperature) and PHF (prescribed heat flux) are included. The obtained nonlinear systems are computationally solved by employing Keller box method. Graphs have been created for temperature and concentration fields for distinct amounts of involved parameters. Tables have been generated and discussed for skin friction, heat and mass transfer rates. It is assessed that temperature and concentration are reducing fields of thermal and relaxation factors for prescribed heat flux. Obtained effects are linked with the formerly published results and found favorable agreement.
