Impact of Swimming Gyrotactic Microorganisms and Viscous Dissipation on Nanoparticles Flow through a Permeable Medium: A Numerical Assessment

Abstract

In this paper, heat and mass transportation flow of swimming gyrotactic microorganisms (microbes) and solid nanoparticles under the viscous dissipation effect is investigated. The flow model PDEs are renovated with ordinary ones using suitable boundary layer approximations. The system governing the flow model dimensionless equations as well as boundary conditions is numerically treated with the SOR (successive over relaxation) technique. The flow, heat, and mass transport characteristics are examined against the prime parameters. A comparison is examined to be in a good agreement with the earlier results. It is found here that flow and thermal characteristics of the problem are substantially affected by the porous medium. The outcomes evidently point out that porous medium causes an enhancement in the skin friction and density of the motile microbes. Further, the rate of heat transport is devaluated at the surface of sheet due to viscous dissipation and elevated due to suction.

Numerical Assessment of Dipole Interaction with the Single-Phase Nanofluid Flow in an Enclosure: A Pseudo-Transient Approach

“…With improved and enhanced thermal mechanisms, nanofluids have enormous employments involving thermal storage capacity, nuclear system cooling, vehicle engine cooling, welding cooling, high power lasers, and are used in supersonic and ultrasonic fields, gas recovery of boiler exhaust fuel, tumor and cancer therapy, pharmacology, refrigerator, drag reduction, grinder machines, hybrid power engines, fuel cells, car AC, microelectronic chips, and microwave tubes [3]. Various recent investigations regarding nanofluids subject to various conditions have been studied in [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
