The governing equations of the hybrid nanofluid are converted to the similarity equations by techniques of the similarity transformation. The bvp4c function that is available in MATLAB software is utilized for solving the similarity equations numerically. The numerical results are obtained for selected different values of parameters. The results discover that two solutions exist, up to a certain value of the stretching/shrinking and suction strengths. The critical value in which the solution is in existence decreases as nanoparticle volume fractions for copper and wedge angle parameter increase. It is also found that the hybrid nanofluid enhances the heat transfer rate compared with the regular nanofluid. The reduction of the heat transfer rate is observed with the increase in radiation parameter. The temporal stability analysis is performed to analyze the stability of the dual solutions, and it is revealed that only one of them is stable and physically reliable.展开更多

文摘The magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)mixed convection flow past a shrinking vertical sheet with thermal radiation is considered.Besides,the effects of Cu-Al_(2)O_(3) nanoparticles and dust particles are considered.The similarity variables reduce the governing equations to the similarity equations,which are then solved numerically.The outcome shows that,for the shrinking case,the solutions are not unique.The rate of heat transfer and the friction factor enlarge with increasing the values of the copper nanoparticle volume fraction as well as the magnetic parameter.Meanwhile,the assisting flow and the rise of the thermal radiation reduce these quantities.Two solutions are found,and the boundary layer separation is dependent on the mixed convection parameter.

文摘The mixed convection flow of a hybrid nanofluid in an inclined channel with top wall-slip due to wall stripe and constant heat flux conditions is studied.Explicit analytical solutions are given to the flow velocity,temperature,as well as the pressure in non-dimensional forms.The flow regime domain,the velocity and temperature distributions,and the dependence of various physical parameters such as the hybrid nanoparticle volume fractions,the wall-slip,the Grashof number,the Reynolds number,and the inclined angle are analyzed and discussed.It is found that the hybrid nanofluid delays the appearance of flow reversal on both walls and the wall-slip postpones the flow reversal on the top wall.

文摘The non-Newtonian fluid model reflects the behavior of the fluid flow in global manufacturing progress and increases product performance.Therefore,the present work strives to analyze the unsteady Maxwell hybrid nanofluid toward a stretching/shrinking surface with thermal radiation effect and heat transfer.The partial derivatives of the multivariable differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations in a specified form by applying appropriate transformations.The resulting mathematical model is clarified by utilizing the bvp4c technique.Different control parameters are investigated to see how they affect the outcomes.The results reveal that the skin friction coefficient increases by adding nanoparticles and suction parameters.The inclusion of the Maxwell parameter and thermal radiation effect both show a declining tendency in the local Nusselt number,and as a result,the thermal flow efficacy is reduced.The reduction of the unsteadiness characteristic,on the other hand,considerably promotes the improvement of heat transfer performance.The existence of more than one solution is proven,and this invariably leads to an analysis of solution stability,which validates the first solution viability.

文摘Investigations on thin-film flow play a vital role in the field of optoelectronics and magnetic devices.Thin films are reasonably hard and thermally stable but quite fragile.The thermal stability of a thin film can be further improved by incorporating the effects of nanoparticles.In the current work,a stretchable surface is considered upon which hybrid nanofluid thin-film flow is taken into account.The idea of augmenting heat transmission by making use of a hybrid nanofluid is a focus of the current work.The flow is affected by variations in the viscous forces,along with viscous dissipation effects and Marangoni convection.A time-constrained magnetic field is applied in the normal direction to the flow system.The equations governing the flow system are shifted to a non-dimensional form by applying similarity variables.The homotopy analysis method is employed to find the solution to the resultant equations.It is noticed in this study that the flow characteristics decline with augmentation of magnetic,viscosity and unsteadiness parameters while they increase with enhanced values of thin-film parameters.Thermal characteristics are supported by increasing values of the Eckert number and the unsteadiness parameter and opposed by the viscosity parameter and Prandtl number.The numerical impact of different emerging parameters upon skin friction and the Nusselt number is calculated in tabular form.A comparison of current work with established results is carried out,with good agreement.

文摘The unsteady mixed convection of the Al_(2)O_(3)-Cu/H_(2)O hybrid nanofluid flow near the stagnation point past a vertical plate is analyzed.The bvp4c technique is used to solve the resulting ordinary differential equations.The combined effects of the velocity and thermal slip are addressed.The effects of different relevant physical parameters are studied numerically.The results show that the heat transfer rate is reduced when the volume fraction of the nanoparticles increases,while the unsteadiness parameter has an opposite effect in the opposing flow.The presence of the slip parameter is proven to increase the skin friction coefficient while reduce the local Nusselt number in the buoyancy opposing flow.A contradictory result is observed in the buoyancy assisting flow.Meanwhile,the heat transfer rate is reduced in the buoyancy of the assisting and opposing flows when the thermal slip effect is considered.
文摘The present study concerns the modelization and numerical simulation for the heat and flow exchange characteristics in a novel configuration saturated with a nonNewtonian Ag-MgO hybrid nanofluid.The wavy shaped enclosure is equipped with onequarter of a conducting solid cylinder.The system of equations resulting from the mathematical modeling of the physical problem in its dimensionless form is discretized via the higher-order Galerkin-based finite element method(GFEM).The dependency of various factors and their interrelationships affecting the hydro-thermal behavior and heat exchange rate are delineated.The numerical experiments reveal that the best heat transfer rate is achieved for the pseudo-plastic hybrid nanoliquid with high Rayleigh number and thermal conductivity ratio and low Hartmann number.Besides,the power-law index has a major effect in deteriorating the heat convection at high Rayleigh number.

文摘This study examines the stagnation point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a hybrid nanofluid with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions.The hybrid nanofluid consists of copper(Cu)and alumina(Al2O3)nanoparticles which are added into water to form Cu-Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid.The similarity equations are obtained using a similarity transformation.Then,the function bvp4c in MATLAB is utilised to obtain the numerical results.The dual solutions are found for limited values of the stretching/shrinking parameter.Also,the turning point arises in the shrinking region(λ<0).Besides,the presence of hybrid nanoparticles enhances the heat transfer rate,skin friction coefficient,and the concentration gradient.In addition,the concentration gradient is intensified with the heterogeneous reaction but the effect is opposite for the homogeneous reaction.Furthermore,the velocity and the concentration increase,whereas the temperature decreases for higher compositions of hybrid nanoparticles.Moreover,the concentration decreases for larger values of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions.It is consistent with the fact that higher reaction rate cause a reduction in the rate of diffusion.However,the velocity and the temperature are not affected by these parameters.From these observations,it can be concluded that the effect of the homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions is dominant on the concentration profiles.Two solutions are obtained for a single value of parameter.The temporal stability analysis shows that only one of these solutions is stable and thus physically reliable over time.
文摘Hybrid nanofluids have attracted burgeoning attention owing to their outstanding capacity to improve heat transfer.The influence of velocity and temperature slip parameter and nanoparticls’(NPs’)volume fraction on a vertical plate in the existence of suction has been explored in this work.The investigation’s controlling partial differentiation equations were transformed into a conventional differential equation mechanism using resemblance modifications.Equations were then solved employing the fifth-order Runge-Kutta method.The skin coefficient of friction,temperature,and temperature gradient all rise when the volume percentage of NPs increases from 0 to 2%.Furthermore,a rise in the temperature slip variable was linked to a drop in the Nusselt number(heat transfer).The Nusselt number increased 0.15%and 5.63%respectively when the velocity slip parameter enhanced from 0 to 5 and the NPs volume percentage were increased from 0 to 1.5%.Furthermore,an increase in the temperature slip from 0 to 3 inflated the x-direction skin friction coefficient 8.2%,while inflation in the velocity slip from 0 to 5 was associated with a decline in the x-direction skin friction coefficient 95%.

文摘The purpose of this investigation is to theoretically shed some light on the effect of the unsteady electroosmotic flow(EOF)of an incompressible fractional secondgrade fluid with low-dense mixtures of two spherical nanoparticles,copper,and titanium.The flow of the hybrid nanofluid takes place through a vertical micro-channel.A fractional Cattaneo model with heat conduction is considered.For the DC-operated micropump,the Lorentz force is responsible for the pressure difference through the microchannel.The Debye-H¨ukel approximation is utilized to linearize the charge density.The semianalytical solutions for the velocity and heat equations are obtained with the Laplace and finite Fourier sine transforms and their numerical inverses.In addition to the analytical procedures,a numerical algorithm based on the finite difference method is introduced for the given domain.A comparison between the two solutions is presented.The variations of the velocity heat transfer against the enhancements in the pertinent parameters are thoroughly investigated graphically.It is noticed that the fractional-order parameter provides a crucial memory effect on the fluid and temperature fields.The present work has theoretical implications for biofluid-based microfluidic transport systems.
