Summary: The paper discusses the simulation of mixed convection flow for physiological transport of Rabinowitsch fluid model, considering the effects of peristaltic flow motion in an inclined tube. Results show that increasing the Biot number decreases the thermal conductivity, leading to a decline in the temperature profile.

Summary: This paper presents the finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) fluid model to analyze the effects of polymeric fluid on drag and heat transfer over a magnetized stretching surface. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed and numerically solved to discuss the impacts of polymers and magnetic fields on flow and heat transfer. The role of magnetic fields and polymers as drag-reducing and heat transfer enhancing agents is also thoroughly discussed.

Summary: In this study, the lubrication problem in a slider bearing was investigated using the FENE-P constitutive equation. The influence of Deborah number and extensibility parameter on various parameters such as pressure distribution, velocity profile, shear stress, and load-carrying capacity were analyzed. The results showed that increasing Deborah number had a negative effect on certain parameters while increasing the extensibility parameter had a positive effect on others.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the heat transfer and flow performance of micropolar fluid in porous Darcy structures with isothermal and isoflux walls. The researchers model the dynamics and mechanism of the fluid flow using nonlinear partial differential equations, which are then reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A machine learning-based numerical technique is designed to solve the nonlinear problems and examine the effects of different material parameters. The results obtained from the machine learning approach are compared with traditional numerical methods, and the accuracy is found to be high.

Summary: In this paper, the bifurcation of stagnation points in the non-Newtonian flow of the FENE-P fluid induced by peristalsis in a channel is analyzed. A nonlinear autonomous system is developed to study the stability of critical points. Streamline patterns, local and global bifurcation diagrams are plotted to analyze different flow regions. The effects of important parameters, such as the extensibility parameter and Deborah number, are examined. The study reveals the critical conditions responsible for the conversion between backward flow, trapping, and augmented flow. Additionally, a comparison between planar and axisymmetric flows is performed, showing a larger area of trapping region in axisymmetric flow.

Summary: This study compares the time-dependent flow of a micropolar fluid between a linear stretching sheet and an exponential stretching sheet. It is found that the exponential stretching sheet provides more consequential results compared to the linear stretching sheet. Additionally, the material parameter shows an increase in the velocity field for both types of sheets.

Summary: This article introduces a novel strategy for the numerical solution of viscous boundary layer flow past a flat plate with a non-zero pressure gradient for a viscoelastic fluid governed by the FENE-P model. The proposed method efficiently handles the governing equation, provides rapid convergence, and yields highly accurate results, as demonstrated through numerical experiments and calculations. The convergence of the iterative scheme is proved via manipulation of the contraction principle.

Summary: To achieve faster speeds and higher load operations, modern bearings use lubricants with increasing molecular weight. These lubricants exhibit non-Newtonian rheological behavior. Power-law lubricants are commonly used for industrial lubrication and bearing applications. This article investigates the role of power-law lubrication on the stagnation point flow of magneto Jeffrey fluid, demonstrating the effects on flow, thermal mechanisms, and interfacial conditions. The study analyzes the heating effect caused by non-linear thermal radiations and discusses the effects of lubrication, MHD, and thermal radiation on relevant parameters.

Summary: The current research focuses on the characterization of buoyancy-driven non-linear mixed convection and non-linear radiation in a Newtonian flow over a non-linearly stretching vertical sheet. This type of flow has useful applications in various industrial processes. By reducing the governing partial differential equations to higher-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropriate transformations, the numerical solutions are obtained. The effects of different parameters on convection transport properties and their inter-relations are illustrated through tabular and graphical representations. The results show that the flow velocity increases near the surface and decreases away from the surface with an increase in the non-linear convection parameter. Additionally, increments in the thermal buoyancy, temperature ratio, and non-linear radiation parameters lead to an increase in velocity. The temperature decreases with higher levels of linear and non-linear buoyancy-related parameters but increases with two non-linear thermal radiation-related parameters. A lower velocity and a higher temperature are observed for greater values of the non-linear stretching related parameter. The non-linear convection, thermal buoyancy, thermal ratio, and non-linear radiation parameters contribute to the reduction of surface-drag force magnitude and the growth of surface cooling rate. However, the non-linearity in surface stretching results in significant percentage hikes of surface-drag force magnitude and surface cooling rate.

Summary: The present study investigates the influence of annealing conditions on phase transformations in calcium phosphates. The phase composition and Ca/P ratio in the final product highly depend on the annealing conditions due to the evaporation of phosphate species. Drastic changes in stoichiometry and phase composition were observed after annealing in a vacuum.
