Abstract

ABSTRACT The thermophysical dynamics of electro – magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective electrically conducting fluid flow in the vertical cylindrical annulus are explored with electric and magnetic fields. The flow and heat transfer properties are explicitly examined in viscous fluid and electroosmotic flow regions. The coupling between an external pressure gradient, electroosmosis, and an extended electromagnetic field can control fluid flow and heat transfer. The governing equations associated with the physical phenomenon are addressed with the Galerkin finite element method. Eloquently, the analysis revealed that, in the absence of a lateral electric field, the flow velocity decelerates as the Hartmann number increases, which in turn ultimately, causes the Nusselt number to rise. Since a lateral electric field is involved, the flow field, temperature field, and Nusselt number profiles are presented in two regions. The artificial neural network model discusses the thermal transport phenomenon in both regions. The artificial neural network models regression, performance plots, weights, and bias are presented. The research outcome can be utilized to design exquisite and efficacious electromagnetic devices, particularly within a particular range of thermal physical properties.
