<abstract> <p>The objective of this study is to explore the heat transfer properties and flow features of an MHD hybrid nanofluid due to the dispersion of polymer/CNT matrix nanocomposite material through orthogonal permeable disks with the impact of morphological nanolayer. Matrix nanocomposites (MNC) are high-performance materials with unique properties and design opportunities. These MNC materials are beneficial in a variety of applications, spanning from packaging to biomedical applications, due to their exceptional thermophysical properties. The present innovative study is the dispersion of polymeric/ceramic matrix nanocomposite material on magnetized hybrid nanofluids flow through the orthogonal porous coaxial disks is deliberated. Further, we also examined the numerically prominence of the permeability ($ {\\mathrm{A}}_{\\mathrm{*}} $) function consisting of the Permeable Reynold number associated with the expansion/contraction ratio. The morphological significant effects of these nanomaterials on flow and heat transfer characteristics are explored. The mathematical structure, as well as empirical relations for nanocomposite materials, are formulated as partial differential equations, which are then translated into ordinary differential expressions using appropriate variables. The Runge–Kutta and shooting methods are utilized to find the accurate numerical solution. Variations in skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number at the lower and upper walls of disks, as well as heat transfer rate measurements, are computed using important engineering physical factors. A comparison table and graph of effective nanolayer thermal conductivity (ENTC) and non-effective nanolayer thermal conductivity are presented. It is observed that the increment in nanolayer thickness (0.4−1.6), enhanced the ENTC and thermal phenomena. By the enhancement in hybrid nanoparticles volume fraction (2% to 6%), significant enhancement in Nusselt number is noticed. This novel work may be beneficial for nanotechnology and relevant nanocomponents.</p> </abstract>

The collective effect of thermal and mass convection along with the significance of thermal radiation, heat source/sink, and magneto-nanofluid are considered. A bi-directional stretching device is used to generate the symmetry of the flowing structure. Nonlinear behavior of thermal radiation is considered here. The magnetic field is considered non-uniform and vertically upward. Significances of pedesis motion and Ludwig–Soret are also revealed in an innovative way with heat source/sink effects. The concept of symmetry is used to transmute the transport equations from PDE type to nonlinear ODE type. We solved the transformed setup numerically by adopting Keller-box method criteria with the targeted accuracy rate. Graphical interpretations are explored with code verification. It is important to conclude that friction coefficients decline for incremental values of stretching parameter (0.1≤α≤0.9), magnetic field (0.3≤M≤0.9), and unsteady parameter (0.2≤Λ≤0.9) along with the bidirectional velocity components, and the rate of heat transmission rises with temperature ratio (1.3≤Γ≤1.7) and temperature Biot number (0.3≤BiT≤0.9) amplification. Moreso, the rate of mass transfer is enhanced with growing values of pedesis motion (0.2≤Nb≤0.6), unsteady parameter and concentration Biot number (0.3≤BiC≤0.9) with opposite effect when the Ludwig–Soret parameter (0.3≤Nt≤0.6) is boosted.

The current work investigated the mass and heat transfer of the MHD hybrid nanofluid flow subject to the impact of activation energy and cluster interfacial nanolayer. The heat transport processes related to the interfacial nanolayer between nanoparticles and base fluids enhanced the base fluid’s thermal conductivity. The tiny particles of Fe3O4 and PPy were considered due to the extraordinary thermal conductivity which is of remarkable significance in nanotechnology, electronic devices, and modern shaped heat exchangers. Using the similarity approach, the governing higher-order nonlinear coupled partial differential equation was reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Fe3O4–PPy hybrid nanoparticles have a considerable influence on thermal performance, and when compared to non-interfacial nanolayer thermal conductivity, the interfacial nanolayer thermal conductivity model produced substantial findings. The increase in nanolayer thickness from level 1 to level 5 had a significant influence on thermal performance improvement. Further, the heat and mass transfer rate was enhanced with higher input values of interfacial nanolayer thickness.

The present mathematical model discloses the effects of Boussinesq and Rosseland approximations on unsteady 3D dynamics of water-driven hybridized nanomaterial with the movements of nanoplatelets (molybdenum disulfide, MoS 2 and graphene oxide, GO ). Variable thermal conditions, namely, VST (variable surface temperature) and VHF (variable heat flux), are opted to provide temperature to the surface. MHD effects have also been used additionally to make the study more versatile. In order to transmute the transportation equations into nondimensionlized forms, similarity transformations have been adopted. The Keller-Box technique has been applied to obtain a numerical simulation of the modeled problem. The convergence of the solution for both VST and VHF cases is presented via the grid independence tactic. Thermal setup against escalating choices of power indices and nonlinear thermal radiation parameter is discussed via graphical illustrations. The rate of heat transaction has been discussed with the growing choices of mixed convection, thermal radiation, and unsteady parameters through various tabular arrangements. It is observed through the present analysis that mixed convection parameter, radiation parameter, temperature maintaining indices r , s , and unsteady parameter magnify the rate of heat transference under the control of platelet-shaped nanoparticles.

The recent progress in nanotechnology provides the concept of hybrid-class nano-fluids having advanced thermal features comparing to regular nanofluids. The idea of a hybrid nanofluid has motivated many researchers because of its convincible performance in thermal systems. The novel theme of the present effort is to scrutinize the consequences of convective heat transfer in bidirectional water driven hybridclass nanofluid involving blade shaped cadmium telluride CdTe and graphite C nanoparticles with electromagnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) process. The transport equations representing the aforementioned topic are firstly nondimensionalized by using scaling-group transformation and then tackled by the Keller-box method, numerically. The significant results for pertinent parameters have been simulated and presented graphically as well as in tabular forms. Coefficients of drag forces are diminished with the more loadings of cadmium telluride and graphite nanoparticles and opposite results are noticed in the case of the Nusselt number. Heat transport has been improved significantly with more loadings of nanoparticles from 1 wt% to 10 wt%. A comparison benchmark for a limited version of the investigation is made with the previously published data.

) and silver (

)) subject to variable thermal controls, namely, variable surface temperature and variable surface normal heat flux, has been made. A bidirectionally elongating surface is used to generate an unsteady flow mechanism with the action of the Lorentz force. Derived equations of basic laws are firstly nondimensionalized and then numerically solved by applying the Keller-Box method. The local Nusselt number for both the thermal cases is calculated and discussed. Percent-wise enhancement in the rate of heat transport has also been included in the analysis. It was concluded through the present exploration that at lower volume fractions of magnetite and silver, the rate of heat transport is observed to be dominant. The rate of heat transference has attained identical values for both the provided thermal conditions at the surface. Moreover, intensities of velocity and thermal profiles diminish with the appreciation of the choice of unsteadiness. The temperature-controlling indices also affect the thermal profile, and it is reduced with the intensification in the considerations of these indices. The values of thermal conductivity, density, and electrical conductivity have been improved with the inclusion of nanospheres (magnetite (

) and silver (
Ag
)), whereas the value of specific heat is reduced with the mixture of these nanospheres. The Nusselt number is increased up to 5% with the involvement of magnetite nanospheres, and it is enhanced up to 4% with the involvement of silver nanospheres.

Little is known in the literature about the concept of nonuniform heat source/sink and higher-order chemical reaction for the dynamics of Oldroyd-B nanoparticles. Therefore, the present article addresses the nonuniform heat source/sink and higher-order chemical reaction features in nonlinear mixed convection bidirectional MHD dynamics of Oldroyd-B nanoparticles with thermal radiation aspects through porous space. Stratification effects for both the temperature and concentration setups are also used in the mathematical model with the significance of random movement and thermodiffusion of nanoparticles. Shape-preserving transformations have been employed to convert the transport equations into solvable forms. An innovative analytical tactic, namely, homotopy analysis method, has been adopted to find the solution of the modeled problem. Behaviors of pertinent parameters on thermal and concentration profiles have been discussed through various graphs. Inspection of heat/mass transport against appropriate varieties of pertinent parameters has been made and explained physically. Thermal profile is augmented with the higher estimations of space and temperature-dependent heat source/sink links. Concentration profile is diminished with the augmentation of higher-order chemical reaction parameter. Sherwood number is improved with the estimation of 0 ≤ β t ≤ 100 and is reduced with the growth of 0 ≤ β c ≤ 100 . Nusselt number is declined with the upgraded amounts of 0 ≤ N b ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ N t ≤ 5 .

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.
