Couple Stress Hybrid Nanofluid Flow through a Converging-Diverging Channel

Abstract

This research work is aimed at scrutinizing the mathematical model for the hybrid nanofluid flow in a converging and diverging channel. Titanium dioxide and silver are considered solid nanoparticles while blood is considered as a base solvent. The couple stress fluid model is essentially used to describe the blood flow. The radiation terminology is also included in the energy equation for the sustainability of drug delivery. The aim is to link the recent study with the applications of drug delivery. It is well-known from the available literature that the combination of TiO 2 with any other metal can vanish more cancer cells than TiO 2 separately. Governing equations are altered into the system of nonlinear coupled equations the similarity variables. The Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) analytical approach is applied to obtain the preferred solution. The influence of the modeled parameters has been calculated and displayed. The confrontation to wall shear stress and hybrid nanofluid flow growth as the couple stress parameter rises which improves the stability of the base fluid (blood). The percentage (%) increase in the heat transfer rate with the variation of nanoparticle volume fraction is also calculated numerically and discussed.

“…The mechanism of heat transport in water/Cu and water/Ag between converging/diverging channel by implementing Least Square Method and thermal radiation, magnetic field effects in the presence of stretching/shrinking effects of the walls reported in Usman et al, 9 Dogonchi and Ganji, 10 respectively. Latest significant investigation regarding heat transport between converging/diverging channel (Akinshilo et al 11 ) under varying physical constraints like porous media effects, internal heat generation/absorption, the dynamics of blood suspended by nanoparticles 12 inside the channel with flexible walls, analytical treatment of heat transfer model through ADM, 13 and different nanofluids prepared by variety of nanoparticles and host solvent with different characteristics are examined by Ullah et al 14 and Kumar et al, 15 respectively. The researchers concluded that the hybrid nanoliquids have unique heat transport mechanism and very useful for future applications.…”

Analysis of Natural Convection in Nanofluid Flow through a Channel with Source/Sink Effect

“…Adnan et al [20] investigated the flow of Cu-water and Cu-kerosene oil through two Riga plates, taking into account surface convection and radiation effects. Zaka Ullah et al [21] studied the flow of a hybrid nanofluid in a diverging and a converging channel. The effects of ramped temperature, ramped concentration, chemical reaction, heat production, and magnetic force on Casson nanofluid flow via a conduit were studied by Sadiq et al [22].…”
