Abstract

The use of experimental relations to approximate the efficient thermophysical properties of a nanofluid (NF) with Cu nanoparticles (NPs) and hybrid nanofluid (HNF) with Cu-SWCNT NPs and subsequently model the two-dimensional pulsatile Casson fluid flow under the impact of the magnetic field and thermal radiation is a novelty of the current study. Heat and mass transfer analysis of the pulsatile flow of non-Newtonian Casson HNF via a Darcy–Forchheimer porous channel with compliant walls is presented. Such a problem offers a prospective model to study the blood flow via stenosed arteries. A finite-difference flow solver is used to numerically solve the system obtained using the vorticity stream function formulation on the time-dependent governing equations. The behavior of Cu-based NF and Cu-SWCNT-based HNF on the wall shear stress (WSS), velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are analyzed graphically. The influence of the Casson parameter, radiation parameter, Hartmann number, Darcy number, Soret number, Reynolds number, Strouhal number, and Peclet number on the flow profiles are analyzed. Furthermore, the influence of the flow parameters on the non-dimensional numbers such as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number is also discussed. These quantities escalate as the Reynolds number is enhanced and reduce by escalating the porosity parameter. The Peclet number shows a high impact on the microorganism’s density in a blood NF. The HNF has been shown to have superior thermal properties to the traditional one. These results could help in devising hydraulic treatments for blood flow in highly stenosed arteries, biomechanical system design, and industrial plants in which flow pulsation is essential.

Highlights

  • The stenosis created is due to the undesired growth of lumen inside the blood vessels, which results in a reduction of normal blood flow

  • El Kot et al [36] investigated the behavior of a gold–titanium oxide NPs combination suspended in blood as a base fluid in a damaged coronary artery. Their major purpose is to examine the shed light on the hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flows via a vertical diseased artery in the presence of the catheter tube with heat transfer

  • NF based on Cu NPs and HNF based on Cu-single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) NPs are chemical reaction is considered

Summary

Introduction

Aman et al [25,26] considered a novel HNF model with advanced thermophysical properties for an MHD Casson fluid in a porous vertical medium They used alumina and copper NPs and analyzed the heat and mass transfer effects. Kasim et al [27] considered the heat transfer effects over an unsteady stretching sheet They used blood fluid-based copper and alumina NPs. Nadeem et al [28] analyzed the impact of chemical reaction in a Casson. El Kot et al [36] investigated the behavior of a gold–titanium oxide NPs combination suspended in blood as a base fluid in a damaged coronary artery Their major purpose is to examine the shed light on the HNF flows via a vertical diseased artery in the presence of the catheter tube with heat transfer. The matheematical modelingparts and of itsthe transformation into a solvable form, using the matical andfunctions, its transformation into in a solvable form, using stream streammodeling and vorticity is presented
