Abstract

The nanofluids can be used in the subsequent precise areas like chemical nanofluids, environmental nanofluids, heat transfer nanofluids, pharmaceutical nanofluids, drug delivery nanofluids, and process/extraction nanofluids. In short, the number of engineering and industrial applications of nanofluid technologies, as well as their emphasis on particular industrial applications, has been increased recently. Therefore, this exploration is carried out to analyze the nanofluid flow past a rotating disk with velocity slip and convective conditions. The water-based spherical-shaped nanoparticles of copper, alumina, and titanium have been considered in this analysis. The modeled problem has been solved with the help of homotopic technique. Convergence of the homotopic technique is shown with the help of the figure. The role of the physical factors on radial and tangential velocities, temperature, surface drag force, and heat transfer rate are displayed through figures and tables. The outcomes demonstrate that the surface drag force of the water-based spherical-shaped nanoparticles of Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2 has been reduced with a greater magnetic field. The radial and tangential velocities of the water-based spherical-shaped nanoparticles of Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2, and pure water have been augmented via magnetic parameter. The radial velocity of the water-based spherical-shaped nanoparticle of Cu has been augmented via nanoparticle volume fraction, whereas reduced for the Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles. The tangential velocity of the water-based spherical-shaped nanoparticles of Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2 has reduced via nanoparticle volume fraction. Also, the variations in radial and tangential velocities are greater for slip conditions as compared to no-slip conditions.

Highlights

  • The suspension of nanosized material into conventional fluids such as oil, ethylene glycol, water, and sodium alginate is called nanofluids

  • This segment compacts with the impressions of different embedded factors on velocities and temperature, surface drag force and heat transfer rate

  • Slip and no-slip conditions are considered in order to examine the variations in radial and tangential velocities due to the magnetic field, nanoparticle volume fraction, and thermal Biot number

Summary

Introduction

The suspension of nanosized (between 1 nm and 100 nm) material into conventional fluids such as oil, ethylene glycol, water, and sodium alginate is called nanofluids. Hayat et al [10] investigated the nanofluid flow with Hall and Ohmic influences They deliberated the thermal convective and velocity slip boundary conditions. Thumma et al [12] investigated the non-Newtonian nanofluid flow containing water-based CuO and Cu nanoparticles past porous extending sheet with entropy optimization and velocity condition. Singh et al [31] investigated the MHD flow of water-based alumina nanofluid past a flat plate with slip condition. In light of the abovementioned applications, we have considered a mathematical model for the flow of nanofluid containing the nanoparticles of Cu-H2O, Al2O3-H2O, and TiO2-H2O, and pure water with a strong magnetic field. According to the authors knowledge, there is no study based on spherical-shaped nanoparticles of the Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2 using water as a based fluid past a rotating disk. The mathematical model is solved with the help of the homotopic approach
