Abstract The numerical solution of transient natural convection MHD flow past a vertical cylinder embedded in a porous medium with surface temperature and concentration along with thermal radiation is presented. The temperature and concentration level at the cylinder surface are assumed to vary as power law type functions, with exponents m and n respectively in the stream wise co-ordinate. The governing boundary layer equations are converted into a non-dimensional form. A Crank-Nicolson type of implicit finite-difference method is used to solve the governing non-linear set of equations. Numerical results are obtained and presented with various thermal and mass Grashof numbers and… More >

Abstract The effects of a magnetic dipole on a nonlinear thermally radiative ferromagnetic liquid flowing over a stretched surface in the presence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are investigated. By means of a similarity transformation, ordinary differential equations are derived and solved afterwards using a numerical (the BVP4C) method. The impact of various parameters, namely the velocity, temperature, concentration, is presented graphically. It is shown that the nanoparticles properties, in conjunction with the magnetic dipole effect, can increase the thermal conductivity of the engineered nanofluid and, consequently, the heat transfer. Comparison with earlier studies indicates high accuracy and effectiveness of the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The combined effects of chemical reaction and viscous dissipation on hydromagnetic mixed convective flow towards a vertical plate embedded in a highly porous medium with radiation and internal heat generation has been examined. The governing boundary layer equations have been transformed to a two-point boundary value problem using a local similarity approach and solved numerically using the Newton Raphson shooting method alongside the Fourth-order Runge - Kutta algorithm. The effects of various embedded parameters on fluid velocity, temperature and concentration have been presented graphically whilst the skin friction coefficient and the rates of heat and mass transfers have been tabulated… More >

Abstract A theoretical study of thermal radiation effects on unsteady MHD natural convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid past a vertical plate with variable temperature is considered. It is supposed that the temperature of the plate decays exponentially with time. Exact solutions to the nondimensionalised coupled linear partial differential equations representing the flow problem are obtained using Laplace transform technique. Effects of different physical parameters involved in the temperature and velocity profiles are investigated, shown graphically and discussed. Skin friction and Nusselt number are also derived and their variations with respect to the parameters are investigated. More >

Abstract Increasing global energy consumption has become an urgent problem as natural energy sources such as oil, gas, and uranium are rapidly running out. Research into renewable energy sources such as solar energy is being pursued to counter this. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources, as it has the potential to meet the world’s energy needs indefinitely. This study aims to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) models for predicting hourly global irradiation. The hyperparameters were optimized using the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) quasi-Newton training algorithm and STATISTICA software. Data from two stations in Algeria with different climatic… More >

Abstract In this particular study, we have considered the flow of Casson fluid over inclined flat and cylindrical surfaces, and have conducted a numerical analysis taking into account various physical factors such as mixed convection, stagnation point flow, MHD, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, heat generation, Joule heating effect, variable thermal conductivity and chemical reaction. Flow over flat plate phenomena is observed aerospace industry, and airflow over solar panels, etc. Cylindrical surfaces are commonly used in several applications interacting with fluids, such as bridges, cables, and buildings, so the study of fluid flow over cylindrical surfaces is more important.

Abstract The Bleve is an explosion involving both the rapid vaporization of liquid and the rapid expansion of vapor in a vessel. The loss of containment results in a large fireball if the stored chemical is flammable. In order to predict the damage generated by a Bleve, several authors propose analytical or semi-empirical correlations, which consist in predicting the diameter and the lifetime of the fireballs according to the quantity of fuel. These models are based on previous experience, which makes their validity arbitrary in relation to the initial conditions and the nature of the product concerned. The article delves into… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence that slip boundary conditions have on the rate of heat and mass transfer by examining the behavior of micropolar MHD flow across a porous stretching sheet. In addition to this, the impacts of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation are taken into account. With the use of various computing strategies, numerical results have been produced. Similarity transformation was utilized in order to convert the partial differential equations (PDEs) that regulated energy, rotational momentum, concentration, and momentum into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). As compared to earlier published research, MATLAB inbuilt solver solution… More > Graphic Abstract
