Augmentation of heat transfer occurrence describing the complete structure of heat, energy (Energy flux vectors) and fluid flow in a trapezoidal enclosure in presence of the thermal radiation. The computational results are describing the various values of thermal radiation of the trapezoidal enclosure and their effect on heat transfer rate.

Numerous industrial processes such as continuous metal casting and polymer extrusion in metal spinning, include flow and heat transfer over a stretching surface. The theoretical investigation of magnetohydro-dynamic thermally radiative non-Darcy Nanofluid flows through a stretching surface is presented considering also the influences of thermal conductivity and Arrhenius activation energy. Buongiorno’s two-phase Nanofluid model is deployed in order to generate Thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects [1]. By similarity transformation technique, the transport equations and the respective boundary conditions are normalized and the relevant variable and concerned similarity solutions are presented to summarize the transpiration parameter. An appropriate Matlab software (Bvp4c) is used to obtain the numerical solutions. The graphical influence of various thermo physical parameters are inspected for momentum, energy and nanoparticle volume fraction distributions. Tables containing the Nusselt number, skin friction and Sherwood number are also presented and well argued. The present results are compared with the previous studies and are found to be well correlated and are in good agreement. The existing modelling approach in the presence of nanoparticles enhances the performance of thermal energy thermo-plastic devices.

Natural convection within trapezoidal enclosures finds significant practical applications. The natural convection flows play a prominent role in the transport of energy in energyrelated applications, in case of proper design of enclosures to achieve higher heat transfer rates. In the present study, a two-dimensional cavity with adiabatic right side wall is studied. The left side vertical wall is maintained at the constant hot temperature and the top slat wall is maintained at cold temperature. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations for vorticity-stream function are solved using the finite difference method with incremental time steps. The parametric study involves a wide range of Rayleigh number, Ra, 103 ≤ Ra ≤ 105 and Prandtl number (Pr = 0.025, 0.71 and 10). The fluid flow within the enclosure is formed with different shapes for different Pr values. The flow rate is increased by enhancing the Rayleigh number (Ra = 104 ). The numerical results are validated with previous results. The governing parameters in the present article, namely Rayleigh number and Prandtl number on flow patterns, isotherms as well as local Nusselt number are reported.

Modern magnetic nanomaterial processing operations are progressing rapidly and require increasingly sophisticated mathematical models for their optimization. Stimulated by such developments, in this paper, a theoretical and computational study of a steady magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid over an exponentially stretching/shrinking permeable sheet with melting (phase change) and radiative heat transfer is presented. Besides, wall transpiration, that is, suction and blowing (injection), is included. This study deploys Buongiorno's nanofluid model, which simulates the effects of the Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The transport equations and boundary conditions are normalized via similarity transformations and appropriate variables, and the similarity solutions are shown to depend on the transpiration parameter. The emerging dimensionless nonlinear coupled ordinary differential boundary value problem is solved numerically with the Newton-Fehlberg iteration technique. Validation with special cases from the literature is included.

The transformed conservation equations for linear momentum, heat and mass are solved numerically subject to the realistic boundary conditions using the second-order accurate implicit finite-difference Keller Box Method. The numerical code is validated with previous studies. Detailed interpretation of the computations is included. The present simulations are of interest in chemical engineering systems and solvent and low-density polymer materials processing.
