Numerical investigation of mixed convective flow of micropolar Casson fluid with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model on an inclined vertical stretching surface

Abstract It is vitally critical to understand the dynamics of the non-Newtonian fluids model from an engineering and industrial perspective. Many industrial and technical activities, such as the extrusion of polymer sheets, the manufacturing of paper, and the development of photographic films, require non-Newtonian fluids. Energy transportation has numerous industrial applications, and classical heat and mass transfer laws do not accurately anticipate thermal and solute relaxation times. This study applies the modified Ohm law to heat and mass transport, utilizing Fick’s and generalized Fourier concepts. And the primary purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of heat and mass transport in the magnetohydrodynamics-mixed convective flow involving a micropolar Casson fluid across the vertically inclined starching surface with multiple slip effects. Moreover, the study considers additional factors like thermal radiation, heat generation, chemical reactions, and the influence of thermophoretic to analyze both energy and nanoparticle concentration aspects comprehensively. To simplify the flow analysis, the original flow model is transformed into a couple of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by employing relevant similarity transformations. These ODEs establish a system that is solved numerically by using the Bvp4c solver through MATLAB. It is worth noticing that a more substantial estimation of the thermal and concentration relaxation parameters decays the fluid temperature and nanoparticle concentration, respectively, and the growth of the material parameter reduces the drag force, which consequently augmenting the fluid velocity. Furthermore, the enhancement occurs in the skin friction due to greater estimation of the micropolar parameter, while the Casson fluid parameter causes the opposite trend.

Analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convection in Micropolar Fluids over a Permeable Shrinking Sheet with Slip Boundary Conditions

The convective micropolar fluid flow over a permeable shrinking sheet in the presence of a heat source and thermal radiation with the magnetic field directed towards the sheet has been studied in this paper. The mathematical formulation considers the partial slip condition at the sheet, allowing a realistic representation of the fluid flow near the boundary. The governing equations for the flow, heat, and mass transfer are formulated using the conservation laws of mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy, and concentration. The resulting nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The numerical solutions are obtained using robust computational techniques to examine the influence of various parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The impact of slip effects, micropolar fluid characteristics, and permeability parameters on the flow features and heat transfer rates are thoroughly analyzed. The findings of this investigation offer valuable insights into the behavior of micropolar fluids in free convection flows over permeable shrinking sheets with slip, providing a foundation for potential applications in various industrial and engineering processes. Key findings include the observation that the velocity profile overshoots for assisting flow with decreasing viscous force and rising magnetic effects as opposed to opposing flow. The thermal boundary layer thickness decreases due to buoyant force but shows increasing behavior with heat source parameters. The present result agrees with the earlier findings for specific parameter values in particular cases.

It has the ability to explain the behavior of a wide range of real fluids, including polymeric solutions, liquid crystals, lubricants, and animal blood. This earned it a major role in the treatment of many industrial and engineering applications. Radiative heat transmission induced by a combined convection flow of micropolar fluid over a solid sphere, and its enhancement via nanoparticle oxides, are investigated in this study. An applied magnetic field and a constant wall temperature are also considered. The Tiwari–Das model is used to construct the mathematical model.

Raising the radiation parameter promotes energy transport, angular velocity, and velocity.

Transient MHD convective flow of a micropolar fluid past a moving vertical plate in the presence of thermal diffusion

AbstractIn this article, we investigate a transient magnetohydrodynamic convective micropolar fluid flow over a semi‐infinite vertical plate embedded in a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction and thermal diffusion. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by adopting the regular perturbation technique. The impact of various parameters on the velocity, microrotation, temperature, concentration profiles, skin friction, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number over the boundary layer is analyzed using graphs. The fluid velocity and microrotation reduce under the effect of thermal diffusion and chemical reaction. Furthermore, concentration rises due to thermal diffusion (Soret) effect, but concentration falls under the effect of chemical reaction. It is found that the velocity and skin friction fall with enhancing value of magnetic parameter. But Sherwood number increases as the magnetic parameter increase.

Gravitation modulation impact on MHD free convection flow of micropolar fluid

In this paper, a theoretical study is carried out on unsteady three dimensional, laminar, free convective flow of micropolar fluid with Hall effect, Joule heating and heat sink under gravitation modulation. A uniform transverse magnetic field is applied normal to the plate along the fluid region. The magnetic Reynolds number is considered to be small due to incomparability of applied and induced magnetic field, as such the influence of induced magnetic field can be neglected. The multi parameter perturbation technique is used to solve the governed dimensionless equations. The fluid velocity profile, temperature profile and the concentration profiles are discussed with the aid of graphs and tables. The coefficient of skin friction and couple stresses are numerically computed in addition to Nusselt number and Sherwood number. The result reveals that the linear velocity increases due to escalation in gravitation modulation parameter values but for intensification in values of gravitation modulation parameter, a reverse effect is observed for the rotational velocity. A comparative analysis shows that the skin friction coefficient is less in micropolar fluid than the corresponding Newtonian fluids.

Here, mathematical modeling is performed for the nonlinear mixed convection in dissipative convective flow of micropolar fluid towards a stretched surface. Mixed convection occurs when both forced and natural convection mechanisms act together. Mixed convection problems are categorized by Grashof number. This is also addressed as situations where both buoyant and pressure forces interact. Slip condition is considered at the boundary for the velocity. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) fluid is considered. Novel features of nanofluids like Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusions are further addressed. Convective condition is imposed at the stretched boundary. Concentration of material particles is discussed with activation energy. Nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary ones via appropriate similarity transformations. The velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number, and entropy generation are discussed numerically with the help of built‐in‐shooting method. Our obtained outcomes show that the velocity of material particles reduces against larger slip parameter and micropolar parameter. Temperature enhances for larger thermal Biot and Eckert numbers. Concentration of fluid particles is more versus solutal Biot number and activation energy parameter. Furthermore, entropy rate increases for higher values of micropolar fluid parameter and activation energy parameter while it declines against slip parameter.

Mixed Convective Flow and Heat Transfer of a Dual Stratified Micropolar Fluid Induced by a Permeable Stretching/Shrinking Sheet

The present study accentuates the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow and heat transfer characteristics of a dual stratified micropolar fluid over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. Thermal and solutal buoyancy forces are also included to incorporate with the stratification effect. Similarity, transformation is applied to reduce the governing model (partial differential equations) into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) due to its complexity. Using bvp4c solver in the MATLAB software, numerical results for some limiting cases are in favorable agreement with the earlier published results. Both assisting and opposing buoyancy flows have dual similarity solutions within specific range of suction and stretching/shrinking parameters, whereas only a distinctive solution is observed for pure forced convective flow. The micropolar fluid shows a disparate pattern of flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics between stretching and shrinking cases. Unlike the shrinking flow, the surface velocity gradient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for stretching flow intensify with the increment of the material parameter. The result from stability analysis reveals that the first solution is the real solution, whereas the second solution is virtual.

Also, the microrotation velocity is suppressed with an enhancement in magnetic field parameter, but an opposite trend is observed for buoyancy force.
