This study investigates the two-dimensional boundary layer flow of a Fe2O3-CuO/water hybrid nanofluid over a porous stretching/shrinking wedge with radiation and MHD effects semi-analytically. Dual solutions exist for a certain parameter domain and the first solutions have thinner boundary layer thickness. The magnetic parameter and mass suction at the wedge's surface increase the local Nusselt number, while the second nanoparticle's mass enhancement amplifies the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number for the first solutions.
Here, continuous two-dimensional boundary layer flow of a Fe2O3-CuO/water hybrid nanofluid over a porous stretching/shrinking wedge with radiation and MHD effects has been investigated semi-analytically. The dual solutions of the problem and also its stability analysis are taken into account. Moreover, the mass-based procedure for hybrid nanofluid modeling has been used. According to this procedure, the volume fraction of first and second nanoparticles is written in terms of both nanoparticles as well as base fluid masses. The Tiwari-Das model joined with mass-based hybrid nanofluid procedure is applied to find the governing partial differential equations which are then transferred to a set of dimensionless ordinary differential equations with help of the similarity transform method. The numerical method of solution has been chosen based on a famous finite difference scheme (bvp4c) from MATLAB software. The results demonstrate that dual solutions exist for a certain domain of the wedge stretching/shrinking parameter. Also it is observed that always the first solutions have thinner boundary layer thickness than the second ones. Moreover, the critical value in which the solution is in existence increase with the enhancement of magnetic parameter and suction parameter. The magnetic parameter and the mass suction at the wedge's surface also leads to the increase in the local Nusselt number. Further, it is inferred that the second nanoparticle's mass enhancement results in the amplification of the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number for the first solutions. In addition, the rise in radiation parameter tends to enhance the thermal boundary layer thickness.

Nonlinear radiations in chemically reactive Walter's B nanoliquid flow through a rotating cone

Kotha Gangadhar, R. Edukondala Nayak, M. Venkata Subba Rao, Ali J. Chamkha

Summary: This paper examines the mechanism of radiative Walter's B nanofluid on a rotational cone under magnetic regime, including the theoretical and practical implications of time-dependent fluid flow caused by cone rotation in engineering and applied sciences, as well as the characteristics of thermophoresis, Brownian motion, and chemical reactions. Self-similar solutions are obtained and the numerical result of a reduced nonlinear system is obtained using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth procedure. Comparisons with previously published material are made to verify the outcome. The conflicting influences of the Brownian motion parameter on heat and mass transfer rates, as well as temperature and concentration fields, are found. The presence of chemical reactions may be more beneficial in developing reaction processes.

Summary: This study numerically examines the influence of various geometric parameters on the thermal performance of a novel W-shaped porous cavity undergoing hybrid nanofluid-based magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection. The results show that an increase in the bottom undulation height improves the thermal energy transfer despite the reduction of fluid volume. The overall thermal energy transport is improved by increasing Reynolds number, Richardson number, and Darcy number, while it is suppressed by increasing Hartmann number.

Oldroyd-B Nanoliquid Flow Through a Triple Stratified Medium Submerged with Gyrotactic Bioconvection and Nonlinear Radiations

Kotha Gangadhar, Manda Aruna Kumari, M. Venkata Subba Rao, Ali J. Chamkha

Summary: In this study, the features of heat and mass transfer phenomena of a two-dimensional viscous fluid flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid over a vertical stretched sheet containing gyrotactic microorganisms are analyzed theoretically. The effects of mixed convection, inclined magnetic field, and thermal radiation are considered, along with Joule heating and heat sink/source. Nonlinear system equations are obtained and solved numerically using the RKF-45 method. The results show that the velocity distribution decreases with relaxation time and thermal stratification parameter, while the motile density profile is enhanced by increasing bioconvection Rayleigh number and buoyancy ratio. These findings are relevant to bio-inspired nanofluid-enhanced fuel cells and nanomaterials fabrication processes.
