    Due to high-ultra thermic significances, the nanosize materials are used in various chemical and mechanical engineering, modern technology and thermic engineering eras. For industrial growth of a country, one of the biggest challenges for engineers and scientists is improvement in thermal production and resources. In this study we analyzed the momentum and thermic aspects of MHD Ellis ternary nano material embedded with dust particles via stretchable Riga plate including volume concentration of dust material. The flow generating PDE's for two phase models are minimized into dimensionless nonlinear ODE's by using the right modification. To acquire the graphical results the BVP4c method was adopted in MATLAB software. Fundamental aspects affecting velocity and temperature have investigated through graphs. Additionally Nusselt number and skin friction have also been evaluated. Compared it with previous literature to check the validity of results. Finding reveals that as compared to dusty phase the performance of trihybrid nano phase thermal transport is improved. Moreover, the temperature profile increases for rotational and volume fraction dust particles parameter. Dusty fluids are used in numerous manufacturing and engineering sectors, like petroleum transport, car smoke emissions, caustic granules in mining and power plant pipes.Scopu

    Bioconvection phenomena for MHD Williamson nanofluid flow over an extending sheet of irregular thickness are investigated theoretically, and non-uniform viscosity and thermal conductivity depending on temperature are taken into account. The magnetic field of uniform strength creates a magnetohydrodynamics effect. The basic formulation of the model developed in partial differential equations which are later transmuted into ordinary differential equations by employing similarity variables. To elucidate the influences of controlling parameters on dependent quantities of physical significance, a computational procedure based on the Runge-Kutta method along shooting technique is coded in MATLAB platform. This is a widely used procedure for the solution of such problems because it is efficient with fifth-order accuracy and cost-effectiveness. The enumeration of the results reveals that Williamson fluid parameter lambda, variable viscosity parameter Lambda(mu) and wall thickness parameter sigma impart reciprocally decreasing effect on fluid velocity whereas these parameters directly enhance the fluid temperature. The fluid temperature is also improved with Brownian motion parameter Nb and thermophoresis parameter Nt. The boosted value of Brownian motion Nb and Lewis number Le reduce the concentration of nanoparticles. The higher inputs of Peclet number Pe and bioconvection Lewis number Lb decline the bioconvection distribution. The velocity of non-Newtonian (Williamson nanofluid) is less than the viscous nanofluid but temperature behaves oppositely.</p

    This communication studies the importance of varying the radius Dp of Copper nanoparticles for microgravity-modulated mixed convection in micropolar nanofluid flux under an inclined surface subject magnetic field and heat source. In the current era, extremely pervasive modernized technical implementations have drawn attention to free convection governed by g-jitter force connected with microgravity. Therefore, fixed inter-spacing of nanoparticles and effects of g-jitter on the inclined surface are taken into consideration. A mathematical formulation based on conservation principles was non-dimensionalized by enforcement of similarity transformation, yielding a related set of ODEs. The convective non-linearity and coupling, an FE discretization, was implemented and executed on the Matlab platform. The numerical process&rsquo; credibility was ensured for its acceptable adoption with the defined outcomes. Then, the computational endeavor was continued to elucidate the impacts of various inputs of Dp, the amplitude of modulation &#1013;, material parameter &beta;, mixed convection parameter &lambda;, inclination angle &gamma;, and magnetic parameter M. The enlarging size of nanoparticles accelerated the nanofluid flow due to the depreciation of viscosity and receded the fluid temperature by reducing the surface area for heat transportation. The modulated Nusselt number, couple stress, and skin friction coefficient are significantly affected by the variation of Dp, M, &beta;, &lambda;, and &#1013;. These results would benefit experts dealing with upper space transportation and materials&rsquo; performance, such as the effectualness of chemical catalytic reactors and crystals

    Magnetic Rotating Flow of a Hybrid Nano-Materials Ag-MoS2 and Go-MoS2 in C2H6O2-H2O Hybrid Base Fluid over an Extending Surface Involving Activation Energy: FE Simulation

    Numeric simulations are performed for a comparative study of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) rotational flow of hybrid nanofluids (MoS2-Ag/ethyleneglycol-water (50&ndash;50%) and MoS2-Go/ethyleneglycol-water (50&ndash;50%)) over a horizontally elongated plane sheet. The principal objective is concerned with the enhancement of thermal transportation. The three-dimensional formulation governing the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and concentration is transmuted into two-dimensional partial differentiation by employing similarity transforms. The resulting set of equations (PDEs) is then solved by variational finite element procedure coded in Matlab script. An intensive computational run is carried out for suitable ranges of the particular quantities of influence. The primary velocity component decreases monotonically and the magnitude of secondary velocity component diminishes significantly when magnetic parameter, rotational parameter, and unsteadiness parameter are incremented. Both the primary and secondary velocities are smaller in values for the hybrid phase Ag-MoS2 than that of hybrid phase Go-MoS2 but the nanoparticle concentration and temperature are higher for hybrid phase Ag-MoS2. The increased values of parameters for thermophoresis, Brownian motion, shape factor, and volume fraction of ϕ2 made significant improvement in the temperature of the two phases of nano liquids. Results are also computed for the coefficients of skin friction(x, y-directions), Nusselt number, and Sherwood number. The present findings manifest reasonable comparison to their existing counterparts. Some of the practical engineering applications of the present analysis may be found in high-temperature nanomaterial processing technology, crystal growing, extrusion processes, manufacturing and rolling of polymer sheets, academic research, lubrication processes, and polymer industry

    Dyes are used widely as coloring in many industries, such as textiles, cosmetics,leather, printing, foods and plastics. Acid dye comprise the largest class of dye in the Color. Acid green 25 in particular belongs to the commercial acid dye often used in textile, hair dye formulation and cosmetic product. The removal of pollutants from wastewaters is a matter of great interest in the field of water pollution. Amongst the numerous techniques of pollutant removal, adsorption is an effective and useful process. In the past few years many approaches have been studied for the development of low cost and effective adsorbents. Kenaf is one of the best natural fibers used as adsorbent in adsorption process. The treatment on natural fibres is widely being used to modified the cellulosic molecular structure. In this study, an attempt is made the chemical modification characteristics of kenaf fiber. In order to enhance the adsorption capacity, kenaf fibers have been treated with sodium hydroxide and trimethylammonium chloride (CHMAC) coupling agent. The charactristics of kenaf fiber was obtained by using Fourier transform infrared ( FTIR),scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) , EDX, BET And CHNS-O and the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl,amine,lignin and carbonyl group were detected. In this research adsorption of AG 25 dye on modified and unmodifed kenaf consider as a problem statement. The samples was investigated under different pH, dosage of adsorbent, initial dye concentration, contact time and temperature. The un-modified kenaf adsorbed the maximum amount of 107 mg/g of AG25 from aqueous solution at pH of 2, temperature of 30 ○C, contact time of 180 min and dosage adsorbent of 0.8 g/l. At the same condition modifed kenaf adsorbed around 163.94 mg/g of AG25 respectively. According the UV test that was done befor and after adsorption it was found that Separation of AG25 was carried out successfully by using a modified kenaf. Equilibrium isotherms and kinetic models have been measured to assess the capacities of both modify and un-modify kenaf for AG25 for the sorption process. By comparing the correlation coefficients determined for each linear transformation of the isotherm analysis of the study revealed that adsorption behavior was best described by Freundlich model for all modified and unmodified samples. Lagergren-first-order, Pseudo-second-order and Intraparticle diffusion models were applied to determine the kinetics of the adsorption process. Pseudo-second order results showed higher coefficient of determination (R2 >0.99) values compare to the Lagergren-first-order. The adsorption capacity of the kenaf fiber increases with the increase in experimental temperature from 303K to 333K. The negative values of ΔG and positive ΔH obtained indicated that the AG25 dye adsorption process is a spontaneous and an endothermic.Based on the data od present investigation,it was concluded that the modified kenaf fiber can be an effective eco-feiendly and low cost adsorbent to remove acid dye from colored aqueous solution

    Maxwell Nanofluids: FEM Simulation of the Effects of Suction/Injection on the Dynamics of Rotatory Fluid Subjected to Bioconvection, Lorentz, and Coriolis Forces

    No full text
    In this study, the relevance of Lorentz and Coriolis forces on the kinetics of gyratory Maxwell nanofluids flowing against a continually stretched surface is discussed. Gyrotactic microbes are incorporated to prevent the bioconvection of small particles and to improve consistency. The nanoparticles are considered due to their valuable properties and ability to enhance thermal dissipation, which is important in heating systems, advanced technology, microelectronics, and other areas. The main objective of the analysis is to enhance the rate of heat transfer. An adequate similarity transformation is used to convert the primary partial differential equations into non-linear dimensionless ordinary differential equations. The resulting system of equations is solved using the finite element method (FEM). The increasing effects of the Lorentz and Coriolis forces induce the velocities to moderate, whereas the concentration and temperature profiles exhibit the contrary tendency. It is observed that the size and thickness of the fluid layers in the axial position increase as the time factor increases, while the viscidity of the momentum fluid layers in the transverse path decreases as the time factor decreases. The intensity, temperature, and velocity variances for the suction scenario are more prominent than those for the injection scenario, but there is an opposite pattern for the physical quantities. The research findings are of value in areas such as elastomers, mineral productivity, paper-making, biosensors, and biofuels

    No full text
    The present article investigates the effect of multiple slips on axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) buoyant nano-fluid flow over a stretching sheet with radiation and chemical effect. The non-linear partial differential equations were transformed to a non-linear control equation using an appropriate similarity transformation. The governing equations were solved through the finite element method. The influence of physical parameters such as multiple slips, magnetic, thermal radiation, Prandtl number, stretching, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Schmidt number, Lewis number and chemical reaction on the radial velocity, temperature, solutal concentration and nano-fluid volume fraction profile were investigated. We noted that the boundary layers increases in the presence of multiple slip effects whereas, the effect of thermal slip on Nusselt number increases with the increasing values of magnetic and thermal radiation. To verify the convergence of the numerical solution, the computations were made by reducing the mesh size. Finally, our results are parallel to previous scholarly contributions

    Boger nanofluid: significance of Coriolis and Lorentz forces on dynamics of rotating fluid subject to suction/injection via finite element simulation

    No full text
    This study briefings the roles of Coriolis, and Lorentz forces on the dynamics of rotating nanofluids flow toward a continuously stretching sheet. The nanoparticles are incorporated because of their unusual qualities like upgrade the thermal transportation, which are very important in heat exchangers, modern nanotechnology, electronics, and material sciences. The primary goal of this study is to improve heat transportation. Appropriate similarity transformations are applied for the principal PDEs to transform into nonlinear dimensionless PDEs. A widely recognized Numerical scheme known as the Finite Element Method is employed to solve the resultant convective boundary layer balances. Higher input in the solvent fraction parameter has a rising effect on the primary velocity and secondary velocity magnitude, and decreasing impact on the distributions of temperature. It is seen that growing contributions of the Coriolis, and Lorentz forces cause to moderate the primary and secondary velocities, but the temperature and concentration functions show opposite trend. The concentration, temperature, and velocities distributions for suction case is prominently than that of injection case, but inverse trend is observed for local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. These examinations are relevant to the field of plastic films, crystal growing, paper production, heat exchanger, and bio-medicine.Published versio

    In this article, numerical simulations of the rotational flow of water-based magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid containing single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and hybrid nanofluid containing single- and multiple-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT-MWCNT) over a stretching sheet are performed. The primary goal is to improve thermal transport efficiency due to CNTs extraordinary thermal conductivity. The 3D governing equations for microorganism concentration, energy, momentum, concentration, and mass conservation are transformed into 1D ordinary differentiation via similarity transformations. In a MATLAB environment, the resultant system of equations (ODEs) are then solved using Runge&ndash;Kutta fourth order with the shooting process. Tables and graphs were used to show the results of physical parameters. According to our findings, enhancing the rotational parameter &lambda; and the magnetic field M reduce the base fluid velocity along the x-axis, and on the other hand, the opposite tendency is shown along the y-axis. Furthermore, the velocities, temperature, and microorganism concentration profiles of hybrid nanofluid (SWCNT&minus;MWCNT/H2O) are found to be higher than those of mono nanofluid (H2O+SWCNT), while the concentration profile is found to be lower

    Finite Element Analysis of Thermo-Diffusion and Multi-Slip Effects on MHD Unsteady Flow of Casson Nano-Fluid over a Shrinking/Stretching Sheet with Radiation and Heat Source

    No full text
    In this article, we probe the multiple-slip effects on magnetohydrodynamic unsteady Casson nano-fluid flow over a penetrable stretching sheet, sheet entrenched in a porous medium with thermo-diffusion effect, and injection/suction in the presence of heat source. The flow is engendered due to the unsteady time-dependent stretching sheet retained inside the porous medium. The leading non-linear partial differential equations are transmuted in the system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformations, then the transformed equations are solved by using the variational finite element method numerically. The velocity, temperature, solutal concentration, and nano-particles concentration, as well as the rate of heat transfer, the skin friction coefficient, and Sherwood number for solutal concentration, are presented for several physical parameters. Next, the effects of these various physical parameters are conferred with graphs and tables. The exact values of flow velocity, skin friction, and Nusselt number are compared with a numerical solution acquired with the finite element method (FEM), and also with numerical results accessible in literature. In the end, we rationalize the convergence of the finite element numerical solution, and the calculations are carried out by reducing the mesh size
