MHD Casson Nanofluid in Darcy-Forchheimer Porous Medium in the Presence of Heat Source and Arrhenious Activation Energy: Applications of Neural Networks

Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study investigates the significance of activation energy during chemical reactions, thermal radiations and temperature gradient of 3-D steady Magnetohydrodynamic Casson nanofluid flow (MHDCNFM) in Darcy−Forchheimer medium over an oscillating disk by using an intelligent numerical-based computing solver through the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation neural network scheme (LMBNNS). The adjusted Buongiorno model is utilized to develop the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) for MHDCNFM, and further, by invoking Von Karman similarity transformation, the system of governing PDEs is turned out into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). First, a data set for the magnetohydrodynamic Casson nanofluid flow model (MHDNNFM) is generated for a range of sundry parameters for the radial velocity, tangential velocity, heat distribution and concentration profile by the variations of Casson parameter, magnetic parameter, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Forchheimer parameter, activation energy parameter, chemical reaction parameter, stretching parameter, porosity parameter and Schmidt number through the Lobatto IIIA technique, and after this, by applying an intelligent computing algorithm through nftool training, testing and validation steps are taken into account to find out the approximate solution for various cases. The designed solver LMBNNS is used to solve the MHDCNFM through mean squared error (MSE), regression, gradient analysis and histogram studies.
