Abstract A computational analysis of magnetized hybrid Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid flow across a flat surface is presented in this work. For the study of heat and mass transfer aspects viscous dissipation, activation energy, Joule heating, thermal radiation, and heat generation effects are considered. The suspension of nanoparticles singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are created by hybrid nanofluids. However, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produce nanofluids, with water acting as conventional fluid, respectively. Nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that describe the ultimate flow are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformation. The ODEs are dealt with… More >

Abstract In the present study, consider an influence of chemical reaction on an unsteady MHD free convective, viscous dissipative Casson fluid flow over a vertically inclined plate in presence of magnetic field, heat and mass transfer. The modeling equations are converted to dimensionless equations, then solved through finite element technique. Computations were performed to analyze the behavior of fluid velocity, temperature, concentration and induced magnetic field on the inclined vertical plate with the variation of emerging physical parameters. Compared the present results with earlier reported studies for correctness and applicability of finite element technique. This model may be useful in view… More >

Abstract A study has been carried out to analyse an unsteady free convective chemically reacting, MHD Visco-elastic fluid (Walter’s liquid-B model) flow past an infinite vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation with uniform temperature and species diffusion. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations are solved by using Laplace transform technique. The effects of different physical parameters like visco-elastic parameter, chemical reaction parameter, Magnetic field parameter, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number and time are discussed by plotting the velocity profiles for both cooling  (G_r ＞0, G_m ＞ 0) and heating of the plate (G_r ＜ 0, G_m ＜… More >

Abstract This paper studies the combined effects of Soret (thermal-diffusion) and Dufour (diffusion-thermo) on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of a Jeffrey fluid past a stretching surface with chemical reaction and heat source. Using the similarity transformations, the governing equations are transformed into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODE’s). The resulting equations are then solved numerically by using the shooting method along with Runge-Kutta fourth order integration scheme. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions as well as the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are discussed in detail and displayed graphically for various physical parameters.… More >

Initially it is assumed that the plate and surrounding fluid at the same temperature and concentration at all the points in stationary condition in the entire flow region. Thereafter a constant temperature is given to the plate hence the buoyancy effect is supporting the fluid to move in upward direction… More >

Abstract The effects of radiation absorption, first order chemical reaction and diffusion thermo on MHD free convective heat and mass transfer flow of a nanofluid past a semi infinite vertical flat plate are analyzed. The temperature and concentration at the surface are assumed to be oscillatory type. Four types of cubic nano particles which are uniform and size namely, Silver (Ag), Aluminum (Al₂O₃), Copper (Cu) and Titanium Oxide (TiO₂) with water as a base fluid is taken into account. The set of ordinary differential equations are solved by using regular perturbation technique. The impact of various flow parameters on nanofluid velocity,… More >

Abstract Numerical study of double-diffusive natural convection flow and entropy generation in 3D trapezoidal solar distiller was performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this research the flow, provoked by the interaction of chemical species diffusions and the thermal energy, is assumed to be laminar. Using potential vector-vorticity formulation in its three-dimensional form, the governing equations are formulated and solved by the numerical methodology based on the finite volume method. The main objective is to analyze the effects of buoyancy ratio for opposed temperature and concentration gradients and to focus the attention on three-dimensional aspects and generated entropy.
