An investigation of thermal and solutal stratification effects on mixed convection flow and heat transfer of Williamson nanofluid

Effect of non-uniform heat rise/fall and porosity on MHD Williamson hybrid nanofluid flow over incessantly moving thin needle

In this work, a novel enhanced model of the thermophysical characteristics of hybrid nanofluid is introduced. An innovative kind of fluid called hybrid nanofluid has been engineered to increase the heat transfer rate of heat and performance of thermal system. A growing trend in scientific and industrial applications pushed researchers to establish mathematical models for non-Newtonian fluids. A parametric study on theheat transfer and fluid flow of a Williamson hybrid nanofluid based on AA7075-AA7072/Methanol overincessantly moving thin needle under the porosity, Lorentz force, and non-uniform heat rise/fallis performed. Due to similarity variables, the partial differential equations governing the studied configuration undergo appropriate transformation to be converted into ordinary differential equations. The rigorous built-in numerical solver in bvp4c MATLAB has been employed to determine the numerical solutions of the established non-linear ordinary differential equations. It is worthy to note that velocity declines for both AA7075/Methanol nanofluid and AA7075- AA7072/Methanol hybrid nanofluid, but highervelocitymagnitudes occur for theAA7075/Methanol whilethe Williamson fluid parameters increased. It is alsoconcluded that as the porosity parameter isincreased, the flow intensity decreases gradually. It is worthy to note that for both non-uniform heat-rise and fall parameters, the temperature of the fluid gets stronger. Mounting valuesof needle thickness parameter leads to reduction in fluid speed and temperature. It is noticedthat as volume fractions of both types of nanoparticles are augmented then fluidvelocity and temperature amplify rapidly. A Comparison of current and published results is performed to ensure the validity of the established numerical model.

Mixed Convection in MHD Water-Based Molybdenum Disulfide-Graphene Oxide Hybrid Nanofluid through an Upright Cylinder with Shape Factor

In this work, water is captured as regular fluid with suspension of two types of hybrid nanoparticles, namely molybdenumdisulfide (MoS2) and graphene oxide (GO). The impact of Lorentz’s forces on mixed convective boundary-layer flow (BLF) is studied through an upright cylinder under the influences of thermal radiation. The shape factor is also assessed. The mathematical model for hybrid nanofluidis developed and, by implementing suitable similarity variables, the leading partial differential equations (PDEs) are altered into a non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) system and then resolved through a bvp4c solver. The penetrations of varied parameters, such as thermal radiation, nanomaterials shapes (bricks, platelets, bricks and cylinders), magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), and ratio parameters on the temperature and fluid velocity, along with the skin friction and the Nusselt number, are typified qualitatively via sketches. The opposing flow, as well as the assisting flow, is considered. The results indicate that the impact of hybrid nanofluid (HBNF) on the velocity and the temperature is more than nanofluid (NF). It is also scrutinized that the blade-shaped nanomaterials of hybrid nanofluid have a maximum temperature and brick-shaped nanomaterials have a low temperature. In addition, the friction factor and the heat transport rate decline due to the magnetic parameter and increase due to the shape factor. Moreover, the radiation uplifts the velocity and temperature, while the free stream Reynolds number declines the velocity and temperature. Finally, a comparison with available results in the literature are made and found in an excellent way. The ranges of constraints in this research are considered as: 0.01 ≤ λ ≤ 0.2 , 0 ≤ M ≤ 4 , 0 ≤ α ≤ 1.5 , 0 ≤ R d ≤ 1 , 1 ≤ Re a ≤ 3 , 0 ≤ ϕ 1 ≤ 0.1 and 0 ≤ ϕ 2 ≤ 0.003 .
