Nowadays, with the advantages of nanotechnology and solar radiation, the research of Solar Water Pump (SWP) production has become a trend. In this article, Prandtl–Eyring hybrid nanofluid (P-EHNF) is chosen as a working fluid in the SWP model for the production of SWP in a parabolic trough surface collector (PTSC) is investigated for the case of numerous viscous dissipation, heat radiations, heat source, and the entropy generation analysis. By using a well-established numerical scheme the group of equations in terms of energy and momentum have been handled that is called the Keller-box method. The velocity, temperature, and shear stress are briefly explained and displayed in tables and figures. Nusselt number and surface drag coefficient are also being taken into reflection for illustrating the numerical results. The first finding is the improvement in SWP production is generated by amplification in thermal radiation and thermal conductivity variables. A single nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid is very crucial to provide us the efficient heat energy sources. Further, the thermal efficiency of MoS2–Cu/EO than Cu–EO is between 3.3 and 4.4% The second finding is the addition of entropy is due to the increasing level of radiative flow, nanoparticles size, and Prandtl–Eyring variable.
The numerical study of double diffusive mixed convection boundary layer flow over a shrinking sheet are presented in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. Shrinking velocity, wall temperature and wall concentration are assumed to have exponential function forms. Non-similarity method is applied for the governing basic equations (flow, momentum, energy and concentration equations) before they are solved numerically using bvp4c program in Matlab software. The numerical results of velocity, temperature and concentration are reported graphically for various values of suction parameter, dimensionless coordinate along the plate parameter, shrinking parameter, mixed convection parameter, buoyancy ratio parameter, Soret parameter and Dufour parameter. Since dual solutions is obtained, stability analysis is performed to select the stable solution.
Abstract. A review was carried out on the exponentially permeable shrinking sheet and how it in uenced the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection boundary layer ow of a Casson uid. The boundary layer equations in the form of partial di erential equations were transformed into the ordinary di erential equations by using the similarity transformation. Subsequently, shooting technique is used to provide solutions for the ordinary di erential equations. Di erent factors related to the ow and heat are indicated by the attained results as well as graphs. Moreover, 4 solutions are presented graphically. Also, the numerical calculations exhibit that the Casson uid parameter, ", buoyancy parameter, , and suction parameter, s, would signi cantly a ect the characteristics of ow and thermal boundary layers of a Casson uid.
Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of incompressible Casson fluid over a shrinking sheet is studied. In the present study, homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions, suction and slip effects are considered. Similarity variables are introduced to transform the governing partial differential equations into non-linear ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations and boundary conditions are then solved using the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The local skin friction coefficient is tabulated for different values of suction and shrinking parameters. The profiles for fluid velocity and concentration for various parameters are illustrated. It was found that two solutions were obtained at certain ranges of parameters. Then, the bvp4c solver was used to perform stability analysis on the dual solutions. Based on the results, the first solution was more stable and physically meaningful than the other solution. The skin friction coefficient increased when suction increased, but decreased when the magnitude of shrinking parameter increased. Meanwhile, the velocity and concentration profile increased in the presence of a magnetic field. It is also noted that the higher the strength of the homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions, the lower the concentration of reactants.
Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to theoretically study the problem of the unsteady boundary layer flow past a permeable curved stretching/shrinking surface in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically. Design/methodology/approach-The transformed system of ordinary differential equations was solved using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Results for the reduced skin friction coefficient and velocity profiles are presented through graphs and tables for several sets of values of the governing parameters. The effects of these parameters on the flow characteristics are thoroughly examined. Findings-Results show that for the both cases of stretching and shrinking surfaces, multiple solutions exist for a certain range of the curvature, mass suction, unsteadiness, stretching/shrinking parameters and magnetic field parameter. Originality/value-The paper describes how multiple (dual) solutions for the flow reversals are obtained. It is shown that the solutions exist up to a critical value of the shrinking parameter, beyond which the boundary layer separates from the surface and the solution based upon the boundary layer approximations is not possible.
The development of the mathematical modeling of Casson fluid flow and heat and mass transfer is presented in this paper. The model is subjected to the following physical parameters: shrinking parameter, mixed convection, concentration buoyancy ratio parameter, Soret number, and Dufour number. This model is also subjected to the inclined magnetic field and shrinking sheet at a certain angle projected from the y- and x-axes, respectively. The MATLAB bvp4c program is the main mathematical program that was used to obtain the final numerical solutions for the reduced ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs originate from the governing partial differential equations (PDEs), where the transformation can be achieved by applying similarity transformations. The MATLAB bvp4c program was also implemented to develop stability analysis, where this calculation was executed to recognize the most stable numerical solution. Numerical graphics were made for the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, velocity profile, temperature profile, and concentration profile for certain values of the physical parameters. It is found that all the governed parameters affected the variations of the Casson fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and the profiles of velocity, temperature, and concentration. In addition, a stable solution can be applied to predict the impact of physical parameters on the actual fluid model by using a mathematical fluid model.
In solar heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), communications are designed to create new 3D mathematical models that address the flow of rotating Sutterby hybrid nanofluids exposed to slippery and expandable seats. The heat transmission investigation included effects such as copper and graphene oxide nanoparticles, as well as thermal radiative fluxing. The activation energy effect was used to investigate mass transfer with fluid concentration. The boundary constraints utilized were Maxwell speed and Smoluchowksi temperature slippage. With the utilization of fitting changes, partial differential equations (PDEs) for impetus, energy, and concentricity can be decreased to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). To address dimensionless ODEs, MATLAB’s Keller box numerical technique was employed. Graphene oxide Copper/engine oil (GO-Cu/EO) is taken into consideration to address the performance analysis of the current study. Physical attributes, for example, surface drag coefficient, heat move, and mass exchange are mathematically processed and shown as tables and figures when numerous diverse factors are varied. The temperature field is enhanced by an increase in the volume fraction of copper and graphene oxide nanoparticles, while the mass fraction field is enhanced by an increase in activation energy.
Apart from the Buongiorno model, no effort was ably accomplished in the literature to investigate the effect of nanomaterials on the Oldroyd-B fluid model caused by an extendable sheet. This article introduces an innovative idea regarding the enforcement of the Tiwari and Das fluid model on the Oldroyd-B fluid (OBF) model by considering engine oil as a conventional base fluid. Tiwari and Das’s model takes into account the volume fraction of nanoparticles for heat transport enhancement compared to the Buongiorno model that depends significantly on thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion impacts for heat transport analysis. In this paper, the thermal characteristics of an Oldroyd-B nanofluid are reported. Firstly, the transformation technique is applied on partial differential equations from boundary-layer formulas to produce nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Subsequently, the Keller-box numerical system is utilized to obtain final numerical solutions. Copper engine oil (Cu–EO) and molybdenum disulfide engine oil (MoS2–EO) nanofluids are considered. From the whole numerical findings and under the same condition, the thermodynamic performance of MoS2–EO nanofluid is higher than that of Cu–EO nanofluid. The thermal efficiency of Cu–EO over MoS2–EO is observed between 1.9% and 43%. In addition, the role of the porous media parameter is to reduce the heat transport rate and to enhance the velocity variation. Finally, the impact of the numbers of Reynolds and Brinkman is to increase the entropy.
