Modeling magnetic nanopolymer flow with induction and nanoparticle solid volume fraction effects: Solar magnetic nanopolymer fabrication simulation

Abstract

A mathematical model is presented for the nonlinear steady, forced convection, hydromagnetic flow of electro-conductive magnetic nano-polymer with magnetic induction effects included. The transformed two-parameter, non-dimensional governing partial differential equations for mass, momentum, magnetic induction and heat conservation are solved with the local non-similarity method (LNM) subject to appropriate boundary conditions. Keller's implicit finite difference "box" method (KBM) is used to validate solutions. Computations for four different nanoparticles and three different base fluids are included. Silver nanoparticles in combination with various base fluids enhance temperatures and induced magnetic field and accelerate the flow. An elevation in magnetic body force number decelerates the flow whereas an increase in magnetic Prandtl number elevates the magnetic induction. Furthermore, increasing nanoparticle solid volume fraction is found to substantially boost temperatures. Applications of the study arise in advanced magnetic solar nano-materials (fluids) processing technologies.

Unsteady magnetohydrodynamic couple stress fluid flow from a shrinking porous sheet: Variational iteration method study

“…Many investigators have simulated magnetic non-Newtonian flows from shrinking sheets (contractional) by extending the original Newtonian MHD model of Pavlov. 34 Bég et al 35 used finite difference and spectral methods to compute the shrinking and magnetic field effects on rheological nanomagnetic polymer flow over a contracting surface. Thumma et al 36 employed a high penalty finite element method and Buongiorno's nanoscale model to evaluate the influential action of viscous heating, heat generation, and absorption on power-law stretching or shrinking sheet flow of a magnetic nanopolymer.…”

Porosity and dissipative effects in Peristalsis of hydro-magneto nanomaterial: Application of biomedical treatment

“…Presently nanofluid utilization has stopped at nothing less due to their inspiring features and its involvement in diverse directions like solar synthesis, biotic identifying, biochemical, nuclear reactors, the chemical engineering gas detecting, surgical procedure, protein production, vivo therapy, drug dispersal, cancer finding and cure, photodynamic treatment, neuro electronic interfaces, nonporous medium for size barring chromatography, shedding new light on cells, molecular motors resembling kinesis, charge centered filtration in the kidney basal membrane, and further a number of experts assumed of using nano foods in tricking the body to feel full for long thus resulting in reduced eating desire. Different studies 17–23 on nanofluids over diverse geometries are also the valuable contributions of the researchers.…”

Comparative study of hybrid nanofluids in microchannel slip flow induced by electroosmosis and peristalsis

“…A mathematical model was developed to analyze the heat transfer enhancement of Ag-CuO/water hybrid nanofluid by Hayat and Nadeem [6] using BVP-4C quadrature in MATLAB software. In this direction, many numerical and experimental investigations [7][8][9][10][11][12] on hybrid nanofluids with various nanoparticles and applications in various emerging fields have been presented in the scientific literature including petro-chemical drilling muds, electronic thermal management, solar collectors and smart coatings. Substantial enhancement in thermophysical properties e.g.…”
