Unsteady MHD Casson fluid flow past a vertical plate in the presence of viscid dissipation and Dufour effects

PurposeThis research investigates the impact of Dufour effects and viscous dissipation on unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection in an incompressible, viscous, and electrically conductive fluid over a vertically oscillating flat plate. The study highlights the significance of magnetic fields in influencing thermal and mass transfer, particularly in the context of thermal radiation. Computational fluid dynamics method including finite difference or finite element techniques can be used to crack the governing equations of the fluid flow. In this work, we used the finite element method (FEM) numerical technique to analyze the numerical behavior of unsteady boundary layer flow of Casson fluid with natural convection past an oscillating vertical plate. Key parameters such as skin friction, temperature, concentration, velocity and Sherwood numbers are derived and analyzed. The results demonstrate that viscous dissipation significantly elevates the fluid temperature, while an increase in the radiation parameter is associated with a decrease in internal friction at the plate. These findings provide critical insights into the interplay between thermal radiation and magnetic fields in MHD flows, with potential applications in engineering systems involving heat and mass transfer, such as cooling systems and material processing. This study underscores the importance of understanding these dynamics for optimizing the performance of MHD applications in various industrial settings.Design/methodology/approachThe mainly authorized and energetic FEM to explain the non-linear, dimensionless partial differential equations (11–13) via equation with boundary conditions (14) makes use of Bathe (36), Reddy (37), Connor (38) and Chung (39). Following are the key steps that make up the method: discretize the domain, derivation of element equation, assembly of element equation, imposition of boundary condition and solution of assembly equation.FindingsThis study examined the impact of viscid dissipative radiation and the Dufour effect on unsteady one-dimensional MHD natural convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid past an infinite moving vertical flat plate with a chemical reaction. Numerically solving the governing equations using the FEM approach is efficient and precise, aiming to be applied to fluid mechanics and related problems. Along with their effects on temperature, concentration and velocity, the following parameters are included: the mass Grashof number, the Soret number, the Grashof number, the Prandtl number, chemical reaction, the Schmidt number, radiation and the Casson parameter. Both the Grashof numbers of thermal and mass rates (Gr, Gm) make an increment in the velocity region. The velocity decreases with an increase in the magnetic parameter. The velocity increases with an increase in the permeability of the porous medium parameter. The temperature flow rate is higher for both Dufour and Viscid dissipation, while a decrement is noted of both Prandtl number and radiation effects. The decrementing behavior of the concentration region is observed at supreme inputs of chemical reaction coefficient and Schmidt number.Originality/valueThis is an original paper and not submitted anywhere.

Computational analysis of magnetohydrodynamic ternary-hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer inside a porous cavity with shape effects

The current study aims to analyze the magnetohydrodynamic natural convective fluid flow and heat transmission features of the ternary-hybrid nanofluid filled the partially heated porous square cavity under the impacts of heat absorption/generation and thermal radiation. The governing equations are solved using the Marker and Cell method. In the present study, three different types of nanoparticles, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), and silver (Ag), are suspended in an inorganic (water) or non-polar organic (kerosene) solvent. Nine different shapes of nanoparticles are utilized in this study. The outcomes show that for the fixed pertinent parameter values of the existence and nonexistence of heat generation/absorption, the MoS2+SWCNT+Ag/water ternary-hybrid nanofluids synthesized by lamina-shaped nanoparticles, the average thermal transmission rate is increased by 40.8523%, 36.329%, and 38.7025%, respectively, than sphere-shaped nanoparticles. In addition, utilizing the MoS2+SWCNT+Ag/kerosene ternary-hybrid nanofluids synthesized by lamina-shaped nanoparticles, the average heat transmission rate is augmented by 38.0322%, 33.0464%, and 35.5868%, respectively, than sphere-shaped nanoparticles. The current study reveals that the fluid flow and heat transfer efficiency are significantly increased by improving the nanoparticle volume fraction and shape factors depending upon the existence of heat absorption/generation. The high average heat transfer efficiency is observed when lamina-shaped nanoparticles are dispersed into the water compared to kerosene in the presence of a heat source. This study can enhance heat transmission efficiency in various industrial and engineering fields, such as heat exchangers, solar collectors, and fuel cells.

Regression analysis of MHD conjugate natural convection of ferrofluid filled within a porous annular enclosure with inner heat generating solid cylinder using response surface methodology

Utilizing response surface methodology, this work gives a thorough numerical evaluation of ferrofluid’s conjugate magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convective flow within a porous annular chamber. The system is made up of an inner solid cylinder that generates heat and is subjected to an external magnetic field, which causes Joule heating effects. To explain the conservation equations for momentum and energy, the research uses a finite element method and systematically changes important parameters. By adjusting these factors, we may study how changes affect thermal performance, flow patterns, and the Nusselt number. The findings show a complex interplay between magnetohydrodynamics, Joule heating, and the effects of porous media, offering important clues for improving thermal management and energy efficiency in state-of-the-art MHD systems. Incorporating a response surface methodology (RSM) is a significant innovation in this work. Results reveal that the increment in the thermal conductivity of the solid wall upsurges the fluid velocity and the rate of convective heat transfer. There is a significant difference in the value of the local Nusselt number as the values of the thermal conductivity of the solid wall increase. Adding nanoparticles to the dusty fluid makes the flow stronger, but also improves heat transmission significantly.

Computational analysis magnetohydrodynamics natural convection flow round vertical thermally stratified jet: Finite difference method in conjunction with primitive variable formulation

The problem of magnetohydrodynamic free convective heat transfer mechanism across a laminar, round, vertical, and thermally stratified jet is examined. The boundary layer equations are non-dimensionalized, and then, using the primitive variable formulation, the finite difference method is used to find the numerical solution of the problem. The impact of Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, and stratification parameter on velocity distribution, temperature profile, and heat transfer rate is explained graphically and in tabular form. It is found that for increasing values of thermal stratification parameter S, the velocity profile increases while temperature distribution and rate of heat transfer decrease. Similarly, with an increase in the values of Prandtl number, velocity, and temperature distribution decrease, but the rate of heat transfer increases.

The numerical study on the MHD natural convection trend of square/circle corrugated porous media

In this study, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection flow investigated a large heat transfer trend in a uniform magnetic field in a finite element approach. For verification, calculation in results adjusted high stream function, temperature distribution, and the average Nusselt trend in natural convection of MHD. This research presents an innovative contribution by analyzing corrugated geometries, specifically focusing on the square-corrugated (SW) and circle-corrugated (CW) configurations. Additionally, The influence of key parameters constituting Hartman number, Rayleigh number, and Darcy number, which largely affects velocities, temperature, and Nusselt number, was accurately observed in the present study. To computationally resolve, wave influence is a large in-stream behavior but has not influenced temperature distribution or Darcy parameter. The maximum and the minimum value in the average Nusselt number related to S at Da=10−5 in case 1 and WC at Da=10−5 in case 2, respectively. Furthermore, decreasing the Darcy parameter value increases the velocity u and velocity v strength in both cases.

Laminar convective heat transfer combining buoyancy and thermal radiation of Carreau fluid within a concentric and eccentric annulus

The present study concerns a steady-state laminar combined thermal radiation and buoyancy-driven conjugate magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convective flow and heat transfer inside a fully porous medium eccentric circular annulus bounded by two infinite horizontal cylinders occupied by a Carreau fluid permeated by a uniform transverse magnetic field (B0 ) and inclined by an angle (α). The convective and thermal radiation are approximated by the Boussinesq and Roseland models, respectively. The numerical integration was performed using the implicit finite volume method. The convective terms in the momentum and energy equations were Discretized using the second-order upwind method. On the other hand, the diffusive terms were Discretized using the central difference scheme. The pressure-velocity coupling was solved using the SIMPLE approach. The findings suggest a clear trend of enhancement in the heat transfer rate when the aspect ratio and annulus eccentricity increase. This pattern is more pronounced in the negative vertical eccentricities. It is worth noting that the eccentric annulus, which has an annulus aspect ratio of 1.6 and a vertical eccentricity of −0.8, offers the best performance regarding the heat transfer mechanism inside the annulus gap. The heat transfer mechanism turns out to be strongly affected by thermal radiation, Hartmann number, and magnetic field inclination angle. The increased thermal radiation parameter and the decreased flow behavior index improve the heat transfer mechanism between the Carreau fluid and the inner cylinder in the annular gap. Furthermore, the average Nusselt number increases considerably as the induced magnetic field inclines.

Dynamics of Jeffrey fluid flow and heat transfer: A Prabhakar fractional operator approach

The primary goal of current study is to formulate a novel mathematical model employing the Prabhakar fractional operator, aimed at examining the dynamic behaviour of Jeffrey fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena under ramped wall temperature conditions. Our investigation entails a meticulous investigation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convective flow within Jeffrey fluids, where we derive precise analytical solutions utilizing the Prabhakar fractional derivative, characterized by a non-singular type kernel. Furthermore, our study integrates fundamental principles such as Fick’s and Fourier’s laws into the model, leveraging a multi-parameter Mittag-Leffler kernel associated with the fractional operator. We delve into the intricacies of fluid flow near an infinitely vertical plate, considering characteristics such as velocity u0. To address the complexities of the problem, we express it in context the of partial differential equations along side generalized boundary conditions, employing a set of appropriate variables to transform these equations into a dimensionless form. Utilizing Laplace transform, we analyse the equations of fractional system, presenting outcomes both in the form of series and through specialized functions. We systematically explore the influence of key parameters α, Pr, β, Gm, Sc, γ, Gr on fluid flow dynamics, unveiling significant insights. Our comparative analysis reveals the superior performance of the Prabhakar-like non-integer approach over existing operators, substantiated by graphical representations of the results. Additionally, we extend our investigation to various limiting cases, including Newtonian fluids and second-grade, in both fractionalized and classical forms, thus highlighting the versatility and applicability of our proposed model within fluid dynamics research.

A Fractional Study of MHD Casson Fluid Motion With Thermal Radiative Flux and Heat Injection/Suction Mechanism Under Ramped Wall Condition: Application of Rabotnov Exponential Kernel

Abstract The primary objective of this research is to extend the concept of fractionalized Casson fluid flow. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convective flow of Casson fluid is conducted, focusing on obtaining analytical solutions using the non-integer-order derivative known as the Yang–Abdel-Aty–Cattani (YAC) operator. The YAC operator utilized in this research possesses a more generalized exponential kernel. The fluid flow is examined in the vicinity of an infinitely vertical plate with a characteristic velocity denoted as u 0. The mathematical modelling of the problem incorporates partial differential equations, incorporating Newtonian heating and ramped conditions. To facilitate the analysis, a suitable set of variables is introduced to transform the governing equations into a dimensionless form. The Laplace transform (LT) is then applied to the fractional system of equations, and the obtained results are presented in series form and also expressed in terms of special functions. The study further investigates the influence of relevant parameters, such as α, β, Pr , Q, Gr, M, Nr and K, on the fluid flow to reveal interesting findings. A comparison of different approaches reveals that the YAC method yields superior results compared to existing operators found in the literature. Graphs are generated to illustrate the outcomes effectively. Additionally, the research explores the limiting cases of the Casson and viscous fluid models to derive the classical form from the YAC fractionalized Casson fluid model.

Nowadays, researchers are concentrating on improving heat transfer by using ternary nanofluids. With this motivation, the present study analyzes the natural convective flow and heat transfer efficiency of ternary nanofluids in different types of porous square cavities.Design/methodology/approachThe cavity inclination angle is fixed ω = 0 in case (I) and in case (II). The traditional fluid is water, and is treated as a working fluid. Ternary nanofluid's thermophysical properties are considered, according to the Tiwari–Das model.

Second law analysis of thermo-magneto-hydrodynamic couple-stress fluid flow in a cavity with heated fin

The objective of current study is to analyze the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection flow of couple-stress fluid and entropy generation (second law analysis) inside the cavity with heated fin by using the Galerkin finite element method. The heated fin has been placed in middle of the heated bottom wall, the temperature T c is fixed on the vertical walls and an insulated situation is considered at the top wall. The irreversibility ratio and heat flux inside the enclosure are examined through entropy generation and Bejan heatlines, respectively. The obtained results show that the intensity of circulations of streamlines decrease from 3.9744 to 0.03148 and heatlines from 7 to 4.5 due to increasing couple-stress parameter ( K ) from 0 to 1.5 . It is noted that the heatlines bowls appear due to enhanced buoyancy-driven flow against high Rayleigh number. The reverse relation is noted between the entropy generation and the Hartmann number. The overall heat transfer rate along with the bottom and vertical side walls increase 111.65 % and 75.8297 % , respectively, with increasing the fin height from 0 to 0.25 . Obtained results could help to optimize heat transfer in engineering systems like heat exchangers, cooling processes of devices, chemical reactors, and solar collectors.

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Natural Convection Flow of Titanium Dioxide Nanofluid Inside 3D Cavity Containing a Hot Block: Comparative with 2D Cavity

The natural convection of TiO2-Water-Nanofluid in a cubic cavity, containing a hot block under the influence of the magnetic field was studied numerically. The verticals walls are cold, the bottom wall is hot and the other walls (top, front and rear) are adiabatic. This work aims to visualize the importance of taking into account the three-dimensionality of the flow in the presence of magnetic field as well as the impact of the addition of nanoparticles on heat exchange rate evolution. The governing equations are solved using the finite volume method and the SIMPLER algorithm is used for pressure-velocity coupling. The problem was simulated at different Rayleigh numbers (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106), Hartmann numbers (0 ≤ Ha ≤ 90) and inclination angles of the magnetic field (0 ≤ ω ≤ 135°) as well as nanoparticles volume fraction (φ = 0%, φ = 5%) with fixed Prandtl number (Pr = 7). The thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of the nanofluid are estimated by taking into account temperature-dependent properties, using Corcione’s correlations. Based on the cooling optimization of cold walls along with comparative analysis between 3D cavity and 2D cavity, the obtained results show that the buoyancy force enhances the heat exchange, while the magnetic field produces opposite effects. When the buoyancy force is dominated, the intensification of heat transfer becomes large, compared to the case where conduction is dominant. The qualitative difference between a 3D and 2D configuration is remarkable for higher Ra, and becomes smaller when the magnetic field is applied horizontally or vertically with relatively high intensity. But, quantitatively, the 3D flow is far from being considered as a 2D flow for all pertinent parameters control. Finally, adding nanoparticles enhances heat transfer for both configurations, the best transfer rate is obtained for ω = 0.

Transient natural convective flow of a radiative viscous incompressible fluid past an exponentially accelerated porous plate with chemical reaction species

AbstractThe present study deals with an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic natural convective flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid past an exponentially accelerated porous plate surrounded by a porous medium with suction or injection. The novelty of the current research is to analyze the behavior of the flow due to mass transfer with first‐order chemical reaction in the presence of a heat source in the energy equation. The existence of suction/injection and radiation parameters in the flow enhances the utility of the research as they are an integral part of nuclear reactors, thermal and chemical engineering processes, and many more. The Laplace transform technique (via Bromwich contour) is applied to solve exactly the governing equations. The nature of the flow velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles due to the impact of pertinent flow parameters are presented graphically. The numerical outcomes of coefficient of skin friction, rate of heat transfer, and mass transfer are obtained in tabular form. The results indicate that the skin friction increases slowly with the reaction parameter and largely with the suction parameter, whereas the concentration gradient increases at a much higher rate with the reaction parameter. The fluid injection has a negative impact on the velocity gradient. It is seen that the heat source enhances both velocity and temperature profiles throughout the flow field, whereas the first‐order chemical reaction acts reversely on the velocity and mass transfer process. The current research can be applied to identify the cause behind the drag force produced in seepage flow due to the heated or cooled accelerated plate.

MHD natural convective flow in a porous corrugated enclosure: Effects of different key parameters and discrete heat sources

Present work deals with an unsteady two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamics natural convection flow problem in a porous-corrugated enclosure. The vertical side walls are insulated, and the top wall is non-uniformly heated; while square-shaped undulations at the bottom wall are discretely heated. Five different cases are considered depending on the discrete heat sources and various key parameters. A transformation-free higher-order compact (HOC) scheme is used to discretize the non-linear coupled transport equations, and an advanced iterative solver, like the hybrid-bi-conjugate-gradient stabilized technique, is used to solve the system of algebraic equations generated from the numerical discretization. Present higher-order compact scheme is fourth-order accurate in space coordinates and second-order accurate in the time variable. At first, the developed code is validated with existing experimental and numerical computed results for the case of a square enclosure associated with and without a heat source. Then, the computed results are analysed over a range of key parameters, like Rayleigh number (103≤Ra≤106), Darcy Number (10−5≤Da≤10−1), Hartmann number (25≤Ha≤150), with a fixed Prandtl number (Pr=6.1), to study the effects of these key parameters on the fluid flow behaviour and isotherm patterns in the porous-corrugated enclosure. It is found that at high Rayleigh–Darcy numbers with different Hartmann numbers, the effect of the permeability of the porous medium is significant; whereas the flow resistance from the boundary friction is gradually reduced, and the flow behaviour is similar to the pure buoyancy-induced flow. These simulated results are presented in the form of streamlines, isotherms, local and averaged Nusselt number plots, etc. The presented results show various flow features that have not been analysed before.

Hall and Rotation Effects on Radiating and Reacting MHD Flow past an Accelerated Permeable Plate with Soret and Dufour Effects

This article investigates numerically the effects of Hall current and rotation effects on radiating and chemically reacting unsteady MHD natural convection flow past an accelerated infinite vertical permeable plate in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. The dimensionless coupled non-linear governing partial differential equations of the problem are solved numerically by employing finite element method. The influence of various physical parameters influencing the flow on the primary velocity, secondary velocity, temperature and the species concentration are displayed graphically whilst the numerical results of the primary skin friction, secondary skin-friction, Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are presented in tabular form. Results reveals that magnetic parameter, radiation parameter and chemical reaction rate tends to depreciate both primary and secondary velocity components whilst Hall, Soret and Dufour effects have reverse trend. Rotation parameter tends to retard fluid flow in the primary flow direction and accelerate fluid flow in the secondary flow direction. Thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with increasing radiation parameter whilst the reverse trend is noticed with increasing Dufour effect. Thermal diffusion effect causes to improve concentration boundary layer thickness whilst chemical reaction rate has reverse impact. These parameters have similar effect on the primary and secondary skin-frictions whilst opposite effect was noticed on the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. This model problem finds an important in engineering and industrial application such as MHD generators, food processing, heat exchangers devices and internal rotation rate of the sun.

Induced magnetic field effect on MHD free convection flow in nonconducting and conducting vertical microchannel walls

AbstractThe current examination employs a numerical analysis to ascertain the effect of the Eckert number along with the Prandtl number on a magnetohydrodynamic natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in which it is electrically conducting, passing through a perpendicular microchannel. Conduction along with non‐conducting immeasurable perpendicular walls within the existence of temperature and velocity slip at the microchannel is analyzed. The induced magnetic field (IMF) generated by the motion of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. The momentum and induction equations are coupled in the presence of an induced magnetic field. A set of similar variables are used to convert the governing set of equations to nonlinear‐coupled ordinary differential equations. With the aid of MATLAB in built solver is carried out to get the numerical solutions. The influences of Hartman number, Prandtl number, and Eckert number along with some physical parameters are explained through graphs. The results indicate that increasing the Hartmann and magnetic Prandtl numbers results in a significant decrease in volume flow rate.

Numerical simulation of thermal management during natural convection in a porous triangular cavity containing air and hot obstacles

A numerical study is presented of laminar viscous magnetohydrodynamic natural convection flow in a triangular-shaped porous enclosure filled with electrically conducting air and containing two hot obstacles. The mathematical model is formulated in terms of dimensional partial differential equations. The pressure gradient term is eliminated by using the vorticity–stream (\(\omega - \psi\)) function approach. The emerging dimensionless governing equations are employed by the regular finite difference scheme along with thermofluidic boundary conditions. The efficiency of the obtained computed results for isotherms and streamlines is validated via comparison with previously published work. The impact of physical parameters on streamlines and temperature contours for an extensive range of Rayleigh number (Ra = 103–105), Hartmann magnetohydrodynamic number (Ha = 5–30), Darcy parameter (Da = 0.0001–0.1) for fixed Prandtl number (Pr = 0.71) is considered. Numerical results are also presented for local and average Nusselt numbers along the hot base wall. Interesting features of the thermofluid behaviour are revealed. At lower Rayleigh number, the isotherms are generally parallel to the inclined wall and only distorted substantially near the obstacles at the left vertical adiabatic wall; however, with increasing Rayleigh number, this distortion is magnified in the core zone and simultaneously warmer zones expand towards the inclined cold wall. The simulations are relevant to magnetic materials processing and hybrid magnetic fuel cells.
