In this paper, squeezing transport of radiative water conveying aluminum alloys (i.e., AA7072 and AA7075) mobilized by entropy generation and dissipative energy is analyzed. Problem is formulated in a rotating frame with the consideration of magnetohydrodynamics and Joule heating aspects. Maxwell model for nanofluid has been used to incorporate the thermophysical properties of nanoelements. Formulated governing expressions have been transformed into system of ODEs by introducing similarity variables. The transformed system of ODEs is then numerically solved by Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF) method based on shooting background. The physical quantities (i.e., skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt and Bejan numbers) of scientific interest are formulated and illustrated via various plots. Graphical representations of squeezing function, temperature profile and velocity profile have been made to examine the effects of involved parameters. Streamlines and isotherms patterns have been formed and discussed. To authenticate the validity of model, skin-friction values have been compared with published literature for limited version of the model. Entropy and temperature of the system are improved with the involvement of aluminum alloys in water. Symmetrical behavior of streamlines is observed for positive approach of squeezing parameter.

PurposeNonlinear mixed-convective entropy optimized the flow of hyperbolic-tangent nanofluid (HTN) with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) process is considered over a vertical slendering surface. The impression of activation energy is incorporated in the modeling with the significance of nonlinear radiation, dissipative-function, heat generation/consumption connection and Joule heating. Research in this area has practical applications in the design of efficient heat exchangers, thermal management systems or nanomaterial-based devices.Design/methodology/approachSuitable set of variables is introduced to transform the PDEs (Partial differential equations) system into required ODEs (Ordinary differential equations) system. The transformed ODEs system is then solved numerically via finite difference method. Graphical artworks are made to predict the control of applicable transport parameters on surface entropy, Bejan number, Sherwood number, skin-friction, Nusselt number, temperature, velocity and concentration fields.FindingsIt is noticed from present numerical examination that Bejan number aggravates for improved estimations of concentration-difference parameter a_2, Eckert number E_c, thermal ratio parameter ?_w and radiation parameter R_d, whereas surface entropy condenses for flow performance index n, temperature-difference parameter a_1, thermodiffusion parameter N_t and mixed convection parameter ?. Sherwood number is enriched with the amplification of pedesis-motion parameter N_b, while opposite development is perceived for thermodiffusion parameter. Lastly, outcomes are matched with formerly published data to authenticate the present numerical investigation.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, no investigation has been reported yet that explains the entropic behavior with activation energy in the flowing of hyperbolic-tangent mixed-convective nanomaterial due to a vertical slendering surface.

AbstractEntropy generation with activation energy has garnered worldwide attention from researchers due to its extensive applications in thermodynamic design, chemical engineering, and optimization processes. One of the primary reasons for focusing on entropy is the global energy crisis, driven by massive consumption against limited resources. This study elucidates the double diffusion process in the dynamics of a viscous fluid over a stretching cylinder, incorporating considerations of entropy generation and activation energy. The non‐Fourier heat flux model is employed to describe the thermodynamics of the thermal system, while non‐Fick's law is used to elucidate the mass diffusion process. The unsteady phases of axisymmetric flow of the viscous fluid are thoroughly discussed. Transport equations in cylindrical configuration are transformed into ordinary differential equations, and an efficient mathematical method (i.e., homotopy analysis method) is applied to solve the transformed system. The graphical examination reveals the impact of flow parameters on velocity configuration, entropy configuration, temperature configurations, and concentration configurations. Additionally, a comparative benchmark is established with the results from previously published work for authentication and validation purposes. It is noted that concentration and temperature configurations are directly related to the unsteady stretching parameter. Entropy generation exhibits an inverse relationship with the unsteady stretching parameter when close to the stretching cylinder, whereas it shows a direct relationship when the fluid is flowing away from the surface.

PurposeThe present study aims to encompass the bidirectional magnetized flowing of a hybrid-nanofluid over an unsteady stretching device with the inclusion of thermal radiation and entropy generation. Brick-shaped nanoparticles (zinc-oxide and ceria) are suspended in water, serving as the base-fluid to observe the performance of the hybrid mixture. The Maxwell thermal conductivity relation is employed to link the thermophysical attributes of the hybrid mixture with the host liquid. Additionally, a heat source/sink term is incorporated in the energy balance to enhance the impact of the investigation. Both prescribed-surface-temperature (PST) and prescribed-heat-flux (PHF) conditions are applied to inspect the thermal performance of the hybrid nanofluid.Design/methodology/approachThe transport equations in Cartesian configuration are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and an efficient method, namely the Keller-Box method (KBM), is utilized to solve the transformed system. Postprocessing is conducted to visually represent the velocity profile, thermal distribution, skin-friction coefficients, Bejan number, Nusselt number and entropy generation function against the variations of the involved parameters.FindingsIt is observed that more entropy is generated due to the increases in temperature difference and radiation parameters. The Bejan number initially declines but then improves with higher estimations of unsteadiness and Hartmann number. Overall, the thermal performance of the system is developed for the PST scenario than the PHF scenario for different estimations of the involved constraints.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, no investigation has been reported yet that explains the bidirectional flow of a CeO2-ZnO/water hybrid nanofluid with the combined effects of prescribed thermal aspects (PST and PHF) and entropy generation.

Purpose This study aims to explore entropy evaluation in the bi-directional flow of Casson hybrid nanofluids within a stagnated domain, a topic of significant importance for optimizing thermal systems. The aim is to investigate the behavior of unsteady, magnetized and laminar flow using a parametric model based on the thermo-physical properties of alumina and copper nanoparticles. Design/methodology/approach The research uses boundary layer approximations and the Keller-box method to solve the derived ordinary differential equations, ensuring numerical accuracy through convergence and stability analysis. A comparison benchmark has been used to authenticate the accuracy of the numerical outcomes. Findings Results indicate that increasing the Casson fluid parameter (ranging from 0.1 to 1.0) reduces velocity, the Bejan number decreases with higher bidirectional flow parameter (ranging from 0.1 to 0.9) and the Nusselt number increases with higher nanoparticle concentrations (ranging from 1% to 4%). Research limitations/implications This study has limitations, including the assumption of laminar flow and the neglect of possible turbulent effects, which could be significant in practical applications. Practical implications The findings offer insights for optimizing thermal management systems, particularly in industries where precise control of heat transfer is crucial. The Keller-box simulation method proves to be effective in accurately predicting the behavior of such complex systems, and the entropy evaluation aids in assessing thermodynamic irreversibilities, which can enhance the efficiency of engineering designs. Originality/value These findings provide valuable insights into the thermal management of hybrid nanofluid systems, marking a novel contribution to the field.

In recent times, the interaction of nanoparticles has significantly enhanced the thermal association of heat transport. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in hydraulic systems, particularly in the context of lubrication and its associated consequences on mass and heat transport. Current studies have focused on investigating the thermal effects of a third-order nanofluid on a lubricated stretched surface near an analytical stagnation point. The lubrication process involves the use of a thin, adjustable coating of lubricant fluid. To analyze this complex system, we employ the Buongiorno model and explore thermophoresis and the Brownian motion phenomenon. For deriving analytical results of updated boundary layer ordinary differential equations, we rely on the dependable and effective hybrid homotopy analysis method (HHAM). To exhibit the effectiveness of our study, we provide a numerical comparison. Based on theoretical flow assumptions, we establish a range of flow parameters. In the presence of lubrication, we physically examine how these parameters affect temperatures, velocities, concentration, and other relevant quantities of thermal interest. These new findings have practical applications in polymer production, heat transmission, and hydraulic systems.

Convective heat and mass transport of radiative Williamson hybrid [Formula: see text] nanofluid (NF) by a Riga surface with the novel features of Cattaneo–Christov double-diffusion has been investigated. Thermal contributions of internal heat mechanism and Arrhenius energy in Darcy–Forchheimer medium have also been incorporated in the modeling. Mathematical modeling has been completed by using suitable mathematical expressions for thermophysical features of hybrid nanofluid (HNF). Transport partial differential equations (PDEs) have been transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by means of similarity variables. Numerical approximation of the transformed system has been obtained by using shooting-based Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg approach. Results have been presented through various graphs and discussed physically in detail. Solution is validated for limited cases. Concentration of the hybrid mixture is reduced for progressive concentration-relaxation parameter. Temperature is alleviated for developing thermal-relaxation parameter. Nusselt number is observed to be higher for Williamson HNF than simple ordinary NF.

<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.
