The main flow is superimposed by the injection at the surfaces of the two disks. Von Karman＇s similarity transformations are used to reduce the governing equations of motion to a set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations （ODEs） in dimensionless form. An algorithm based on the finite difference method is employed to solve these ODEs and Richardson＇s extrapolation is used to obtain higher order accuracy. The results indicate that the parameters Re and A have a strong influence on the velocity and microrotation profiles, shear stresses at the disks and the position of the viscous/shear layer. The micropolar material constants cl, c2, c3 have profound effect on microrotation as compared to their effect on streamwise and axial velocity profiles. The results of micropolar fluids are compared with the results for Newtonian fluids.展开更多

Stoke’s and single-phase NF models are used to study the viscous fluid and hybrid nanofluid (HNF) heat transferdevelopments, respectively. Two types of nanoparticles are taken, such as copper (Cu) and sil-ver (Ag) within base fluid water to make it a HNF. Darcy-Brinkman law is also used to examinethe flow through the porous zone in the annulus. Necessary quantities have been used in thesystem of equations to transfer them into non-dimensional forms. For momentum and energytransport, the numerical results are evaluated for various model parameters and are examinedvia the shooting method in MATHEMATICA. It is noted that the momentum and energy trans-port are more significant when two immiscible fluids in a clear vertical annulus are taken. Thefindings also indicate that two-phase momentum and heat flow are greater when a NF is used in Region-II and lower when a HNF is used. The temperature (in Region-II) falls with a high na-nomaterials volume fraction (see Figure 4) while it is increased when the Hartman number isincreased. Moreover, velocity declines with increment in nanomaterials volume fraction. Thus,higher thermal conductivity can be accomplished by using a magnetic field.展开更多
