Description:

The current study demonstrates the intricate thermo-solutal transportation features of a nanofluid experiencing non-linear kinematics as it flows across a rough porous stretched interface. Previous work has typically been limited to smooth geometries, narrow parameter ranges, and few physical intuitions. However, this paper extends the analysis to include surface roughness, porosity effect, nonlinear stretching and essential physical phenomena like effect of magnetic field, Brownian motion special case thermophoresis effect and variable suction/injection. The resulting extension does not only reproduce realistic flow cases, but reveals extremely sensitive solution behaviors that have been completely untouched in the literature. Using scaling transformation approach, the governing non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) for the transport of momentum, energy, and solutal in the transformed independent variables are translated into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Numerical simulation of the above transport equations with ten dimensionless parameters is done using the MATLAB BVP4C (built in solver) approach, which ensures computational stability and high precision across broad parametric domains. Additionally, using an expanded parameter domain revealed previously unknown solution properties. For instance, as the thermophoretic limitation raised, the species concentration rose by 5% and fell by 12%. Additionally, sensitivity was demonstrated by the velocity profiles shifting by 20% in response to a small variation in the slip parameter. Finding the limits at which qualitatively reactions to system modifications and other non-physical solutions arise from the qualitative responses is notably innovative. Such findings will propel the development of more efficient coatings and temperature control techniques, offering helpful advice to greatly improve transportation effectiveness in actual nanofluid applications.

MHD Casson nanofluid flow over a vertical stretchable sheet saturated with a porous medium: a parametric approach for sensitive analysis

Publication Name: Discover Nano

Publication Date: 2026-12-01

Volume: 21

Issue: 1

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Purpose: After being motivated by the diverse applications of blood rheology, nanotechnology, magnetic field, chemical reaction, solar radiation, and non-Darcy porous media in nano-industrial, medical, and chemical engineering domains. The current computational study aims to numerically examine the influences of velocity slip, internal thermal generation or absorption, chemical reactions, and thermal radiation on magneto-hydrodynamic blood-based nanofluid flow with thermo-Brownian motion through an extending interface within a high-permeability medium. Furthermore, the sensitive analysis of flow features with respect to the independent flow parameters is considered. Design/methodology/approach: Suitable similarity equations are employed to convert the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations together with their boundary constraints. The NDSolve method in Mathematica 11.0 is employed to numerically analyze the flow model, yielding data for the stream function, velocity profile, frictional force coefficient, temperature profile, concentration profile, local Nusselt number, and Sherwood number across several rheological parameters. Main findings: A boundary slip diminishes momentum transmission from the fluid to the surface; when velocity slip escalates, the velocity profile declines. The intensity of the thermal boundary layer escalates with the thermal Grashof number. The temperature distribution is exacerbated by the influence of radiation. As the Brownian parameter grows, the nanofluid temperature intensifies. The chemical reaction parameter substantially affects the enhancement of both skin friction and the Sherwood number. The Nusselt number is enhanced by increasing the thermal Grashof number. The sensitivity analysis indicates that the chemical reaction and concentration Grashof number significantly influence the improvement of rheological properties. Applications: The results of this work are relevant for regulating film thickness, chemical vapour deposition, drug delivery systems, and process optimization.

Solar thermal radiation effects on magneto-Casson squeezing nanofluid flow for energy-efficient solar tile applications

Publication Name: Applied Thermal Engineering

Description:

Modern industrial buildings and solar panels are both reliant on thermal efficiency. The Casson nanofluids are a potential working fluid due to their excellent heat transfer properties and adjustable flow behavior. Due to such significant uses, we examine solar-driven magneto-Casson squeezing nanofluid flow over a linearly stretched surface in porous media while incorporating combining effects of Joule heating, internal heat generation as well as thermal radiation. Additionally, Newtonian heating is applied to the bottom surface to improve thermal transmission. Linear thermal stratification is inadequate for accurately capturing heat transport in industrial machineries, because they need large temperature differences. For a more realistic depiction, quadratic thermal stratification is thus used. The working nanofluid contains cobalt ferrite (COFe2O4) nanoparticles that are suspended in sodium alginate, while the Hamilton–Crosser model is used to examine the impact of different nanoparticle shapes on the system. After applying similarity transformation to reduce the governing equations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations, Mathematica's NDSolve is used to resolve the resulting equations numerically. A thorough analysis is conducted of the impacts of important physical factors on skin friction, flow, temperature fields, and Nusselt number. Results indicate that the squeezing constraint increases the flow velocity, whereas the flow velocity is reduced by high magnetic effects. Increasing the Newtonian heating parameter increases the temperature field. However, due to the effect of thermal stratification, this increase is reduced. Diverse morphologies of the particles exhibit varying thermal performance; platelets-like the highest temperature, cylinders exhibit the lowest, and bricks and blades provide modest results. The present results are in close agreement with the results from previous studies, thus confirming the effectiveness of the simulation methodology being used for this work. The findings provide important information for improving contemporary heat transfer technology and creating energy-efficient solar thermal power systems.
