Thin Film Flow of Micropolar Fluid in a Permeable Medium

The thin film flow of micropolar fluid in a porous medium under the influence of thermophoresis with the heat effect past a stretching plate is analyzed. Micropolar fluid is assumed as a base fluid and the plate is considered to move with a linear velocity and subject to the variation of the reference temperature and concentration. The latitude of flow is limited to being two-dimensional and is steadily affected by sensitive fluid film size with the effect of thermal radiation. The basic equations of fluid flow are changed through the similarity variables into a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations with physical conditions. The suitable transformations for the energy equation is used and the non-dimensional form of the temperature field are different from the published work. The problem is solved by using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The effects of radiation parameter R, vortex-viscosity parameter Δ, permeability parameter Mr, microrotation parameter Gr, Soret number Sr, thermophoretic parameter τ, inertia parameter Nr, Schmidt number Sc, and Prandtl number Pr are shown graphically and discussed

Bioconvection applications for double stratification 3-D flow of Burgers nanofluid over a bidirectional stretched surface: Enhancing energy system performance

In recent years, the nanofluids are assumed to be most effective source of energy and reflect many applications in various industrial and engineering processes. With effective thermal properties, the nano-materials convey exclusive beneficial applications in heat exchanges, coolant processes, medical treatment, electronic cooling systems, energy production etc. The prime objective of current analysis is to scrutinize the three-dimensional double stratification flow of Burgers fluid containing microorganisms. The thermal radiation with nonlinear relations and heat absorption and generation applications are also endorsed. The modified forms of heat and mass diffusions are utilized to modify the analysis. The flow expressions for modeled problem are numerically evaluated by employing the shooting scheme. Physical features for various parameters against velocity of fluid, temperature distribution, volumetric concentration of nanoparticles and rescaled density of nanoparticles is deliberated with the help of several graphs. The observations reveal that heat and mass transfer mechanism decline with Deborah number. The concentration field rise up with concentration stratified Biot number while reduces with concentration relaxation constant. The presence of buoyancy parameters enhanced nanofluid temperature, concentration and microorganisms profiles. The obtained theoretical observation reveal applications in industrial, engineering and thermal processes which heat transfer involved. The claimed results are useful to improve the cooling and heating processes, energy generation, thermal devices, solar systems, manufacturing processes etc
