Heat transfer analysis of water-ethylene glycol (50:50) based nanofluid over a cone with the influences of magnetic field and uniform heat generation/absorption

Abstract

Aim:The novelty of the problem is to examine the heat transfer analysis of H2O–C2H6O2 (50:50) mixture based Al2O3 and Fe3O4 over a heated and spinning down-pointing vertical cone with the effect of heat generation or absorption in the presence of magnetic field. Findings:Results are demonstrated in terms of graphs to examine the influence of various physical parameters that come across such as Magnetic parameter M, Spin parameter ϵ, Nanoparticle volume fraction ϕ, Heat generation or absorption parameter Δ, velocity slip parameter Γ1 and thermal slip parameter Γ2 on dimensionless velocity profile F′(y), G(y) and temperature profile H(y). The effect of M, ϵ, ϕ, Δ,Γ1,Γ2on skin friction and local Nusselt number are examined in tabulation form. Significant outcomes:It is pointed out that enhancement in Magnetic parameter and thermal slip parameter leads to declination of the velocity profile. Influence of Heat generation or absorption parameter magnifies the thermal characteristic of the flow. Moreover, the numerical statistics was triggered and catalogued to analogize the results of existing outcomes with those of previous literature for some special cases and established excellent agreement. Fe3O4 possess 0.78% and 0.92% of high surface drag force and heat transfer rate respectively than Al2O3 with respect to heat generation or absorption parameter. Approach:The system of partial differential equations is transformed into set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Solutions for the system of nonlinear Ordinary differential equation are obtained by Numerical method. The numerical scheme is developed based on fourth order Runge Kutta scheme along with shooting techniques. Practical implications:In this current growing scenario, engineers and scientists are making an endeavour to gratify the global needs. Nanofluids are considered as inevitable one for achieving industrial and global needs. The investigation of heat transfer over rotating cone with the effect of magnetic field is of considerable interest due to its presence in industrial and technological applications. Especially in the design of turbines and turbo equipment’s and in understanding the path of flight of rotating wheels.
