Abstract
Abstract The present work makes an analysis on the effects of second-order velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions for third-grade nanofluid over a coaxial cylinder. In the modeling of blood-based nanofluids containing metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, the viscosity is approximated to second-order Maclaurin’s series for the first time and the effective density is handled to a combination of temperature and nanoparticles volume fraction. The governing equations are transformed into a dimensionless system of nonlinear differential equations and solved by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The accuracy and efficiency of the HAM solutions are verified by ℏ $$\hbar $$ -curves and residual error curves using package BVPh2.0. The physical interpretations are illustrated by graphs and tables. The results revealed that the Nusselt number increases with an increase of nanoparticle volume fraction. The second-order velocity slip has a significant weakened effect on the skin friction. In addition, the Brownian motion and thermophoresis movement are collaborating to increase the temperature profile.
