Optimizing Heat Transfer with Electro-Osmotic Ciliated Propulsion in a Non-Uniform Canals with Cu-Blood Characteristics Considering Thermal Casson Nano fluid

Electroosmosis peristaltic flows find promising applications in electro-fluid thrusters in space propulsion, polymer injection systems, ion exchange membrane designs, microbe fuel cells, biochip fabrication and fossil fuel energy process. In light of this, the current work aims to investigate blood based electroosmotic peristaltic flow in a ciliated, non-uniform propagation channel when copper nanoparticles are present. For that purpose, mathematical modeling is done in two dimensional frame and then governing partial differential equations are simplified and converted in ordinary differential equations using dimensionless quantities and long wave length and low Reynolds number approximations. In result we got coupled nonlinear boundary value problem that is solved numerically using three-stage Lobatto IIIa formula known as bvp4c invoking shooting technique. Peristaltic ciliated waves are thought to pass along the channel wall. The properties of both fluid phase and particle phase flow are modeled and investigated. Plotting against various parameters, streamline contours, temperature contours, concentration and temperature profiles, and pressure rise graphs are examined in-depth from a physical perspective. The obtained results revealed that concentration profile upsurges for rising values of Casson fluid parameter , nanoparticle volume fraction and flow rate while it drops with an increase in particulate volumetric fraction C, Eckert number Ec, Soret number Sr, Schmidt number Sc and viscosity constant. A decrease in temperature is also caused by an increase in the volumetric percentage of nanoparticles. In the pumping portion, there is a decrease in pressure rise; however, this decrease changes to an increase in the increased pumping zone.

ANN based optimization of nano-beam oscillations with intermolecular forces and geometric nonlinearity

In this study, we investigate the effect of Van der Waals and Casimir forces on the mathematical model of nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) such as nano-beam actuators that contain cantilever and double cantilever beams. The singular nonlinear boundary value problem governing the beam-type actuators, including geometric nonlinearity is solved by using an intelligent strength of feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) and hybridization of optimization algorithms such as arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) and active set algorithm (ASA). The proposed ANN-AOA-AS algorithm is employed to quantify the effect of changes in applied voltage, dispersion forces, geometric nonlinearity parameters, and initial axial strain on the deflection of the beam. Furthermore, to validate the results obtained by the proposed algorithm, statistical analyses are conducted to compare the approximate solutions with state-of-the-art methodologies available in the latest literature. In addition, performance indicators are defined such as mean square error (MSE), Nash–Sutcliffeefficiency (NSE), mean absolute deviations (MAD), root mean square error (RMSE), and Error in Nash–Sutcliffeefficiency (ENSE) to study the accuracy and efficiency of the solutions. The results show that these indicators’ mean percentage values lie around 10−4 to 10−6 which reflects the perfect modeling of the approximate solutions.

Construction of mathematical models of thermal conductivity for modern electronic devices with elements of a layered structure

This paper considers a heat conduction process for isotropic layered media with internal thermal heating. As a result of the heterogeneity of environments, significant temperature gradients arise as a result of the thermal load. In order to establish the temperature regimes for the effective operation of electronic devices, linear and non-linear mathematical models for determining the temperature field have been constructed, which would make it possible to further analyze the temperature regimes in these heat-active environments. The coefficient of thermal conductivity for the above structures was represented as a whole using asymmetric unit functions. As a result, the conditions of ideal thermal contact were automatically fulfilled on the surfaces of the conjugation of the layers. This leads to solving one heat conduction equation with discontinuous and singular coefficients and boundary conditions at the boundary surfaces of the medium. For linearization of nonlinear boundary value problems, linearizing functions were introduced. Analytical solutions to both linear and nonlinear boundary value problems were derived in a closed form. For heat-sensitive environments, as an example, the linear dependence of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of structural materials on temperature, which is often observed when solving many practical problems, was chosen. As a result, analytical relations for determining the temperature distribution in these environments were obtained. Based on this, a numerical experiment was performed, and it was geometrically represented depending on the spatial coordinates. This proves that the constructed linear and nonlinear mathematical models testify to their adequacy to the real physical process. They make it possible to analyze heat-active media regarding their thermal resistance. As a result, it becomes possible to increase it and protect it from overheating, which can cause the destruction of not only individual nodes and their elements but also the entire structure

A compact combination of second-kind Chebyshev polynomials for Robin boundary value problems and Bratu-type equations

AbstractThis paper presents a new algorithm for resolving linear and non-linear second-order Robin boundary value problems (BVPS) and the Bratu-type equations in one and two dimensions using spectral approaches. Basis functions according to second-kind shifted and modified shifted Chebyshev polynomials that comply with the Robin conditions are created. It has produced operational matrices for its derivatives. The provided solutions are the result of applying the collocation and tau approaches. These methods convert the problem dictated by its boundary conditions into a system of linear or non-linear algebraic equations that may be solved using any suitable numerical solver. Convergence analysis has been provided and it accords with the numerical results. Six numerical problems are provided to investigate and demonstrate the practical utility of the suggested method. The current results show that our method outperforms the previous methods in terms of accuracy which are presented in tables and figures.

Solvability of a boundary value problem with integrable conditions for partial differential equations of fractional order

Differential equations have a remarkable ability to predict the world around us. They are used in a wide variety of disciplines, from biology, economics, physics, chemistry and engineering. The study of existence and uniqueness, periodicity, asymptotic behavior, stability, and methods of analytic and numerical solutions of fractional differential equations have been studied extensively in a large cycle works; Especially, The study of existence and uniqueness of solution of fractional partial differential equations are then proved by mani methods as: the well-known Lax–Milgram theorem, Energy estimate and fixed point theorem... Among them, we only mention here the apriori estimate method (energy inequality method). The current piece of work concentrates on exploring the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a non-linear boundary value problem that has integrable conditions in the case of fractional partial differential equations. For this we split the proof into two sections: linear and non-linear problem; for the associated linear problem, we derive the a priori bound and demonstrate the density of the operator generated by the problem posed; we solve the non-linear problem by introducing a iterative process. The results show the efficiency of energy inequality method in the case of time fractional order differential equations with integrable conditions our results illustrate the existence and uniqueness of the continuous dependence of solution on fractional order. The work of the authors could be considered as a contribution to the development of the functional analysis method. And to conclude we argue that the research carried out in this article could serve as a contribution for possible studies in the field of applied mathematics.

We demonstrate the practical implications of our analytical advancements for each situation, illustrating how the components of the fractional boundary value problem emerge in real-life occurrences. Our work significantly enhances the field of applied mathematics by offering analytical solutions and valuable insights.

We investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to our proposed problem through the application using the Banach and Schauder’s fixed-point theorems. Additionally, we illustrate the practical applicability of our findings by applying them to a specific example, thereby validating their efficacy.

This article describes the non-linear reaction-diffusion model, which depicts the behaviour of hydrogen peroxide production and glucose oxidation in the chitosan-alginate microsphere. Analytical solutions of glucose, oxygen, gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide concentrations in planar coordinates under steady-state circumstances are obtained for all reaction-diffusion parameters. The non-linear boundary value problem's approximate analytical expressions are obtained using asymptotic techniques based on the homotopy perturbation and Akbari-Ganji method. The exact and commonly used MATLAB program provided a numerical simulation. It is demonstrated that the resulting analytical expressions strongly agree with the numerical outcomes reported in the literature. Furthermore, determining hydrogen peroxide flux and pH profiles within the microspheres are also discussed. The theoretical findings make it possible to forecast and enhance the efficiency of enzyme kinetics.

Computation of SWCNT/MWCNT-doped thermo-magnetic nano-blood boundary layer flow with non-Darcy, chemical reaction, viscous heating and Joule dissipation effects

CNTs have been shown to exhibit exceptional electrical and thermal conductivities, chemical and mechanical stability and physiochemical reliability in wide-ranging applications covering biomedicine, energy and aerospace. Motivated by emerging applications in nano-drug delivery in medicine and radiative ablation therapy, a steady-state mathematical model is established for magnetohydrodynamic boundary-layer transport of chemically reactive carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-doped electrically conducting blood along a porous stretching wall of a blood vessel. Multiple and single walls CNTs are considered using the model developed by Xue (2005). Heat generation, radiative flux, wall mass (concentration) slip, viscous heating and Joule magnetic dissipation are incorporated. Chemical reaction effects are addressed utilizing homogenous first-order model. The Darcy-Forchheimer drag force model is utilized for bulk matrix and inertial drag effects in the porous medium. Radiative heat-transport is studied considering Rosseland's diffusion model. The governing partial differential conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy and species are formulated in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with allied wall and free-stream boundary conditions. Via scaling transformations, a nonlinear boundary value problem is derived. Numerical computations are achieved through bvp4c scheme. The impact of selected parameters on dimensionless quantities (velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers) are computed and elaborated through tables and graphs. A good correlation of the numerical solutions with earlier simpler models from the literature is included. The simulations show that with augmentation in Hartmann magnetic number and Forchheimer inertial drag number, significant damping in the nano-doped blood flow is produced for both SWCNTs and MWCNTs. Temperature is elevated with increment in dissipation effect i. e. Eckert number. Higher values of mass (solutal) slip parameter induce a depletion in the concentration. Nusselt number i. e. heat transfer rate to the blood vessel wall is improved with greater values of solid volume fraction for both CNTs. The present model is relevant to radiative ablation therapy combined with nano-medical treatments in blood vessels wherein constant mechanical loading via blood pressure and flow can elevate internal stresses (circumferential wall stress and endothelial shear stress) and induce morphological alterations in blood vessel wall (stretching) and endothelium in conjunction with biochemical reactions.

Analytical method for systems of nonlinear singular boundary value problems

The standard Lane–Emden equations model several physical phenomena such as isotropic continuous media, thermal behaviour of a spherical cloud of gas, and isothermal gas spheres. Systems of Lane–Emden-type equations appear in the modelling of the concentration of carbon substrate and oxygen, catalytic diffusion reactions, the steady state concentration of carbon dioxide, dusty fluid models, and pattern formation. In solving singular boundary value problems, one faces challenges resulting from the divergence of the associated variable coefficients at the singular points. This research article explores the power series approach to analytically approximate solutions to a class of systems of strongly nonlinear singular boundary value problems of Lane–Emden-type. The nonlinear terms in the proposed problems are transformed into power series using the generalised Cauchy product before establishing explicit recursion formulae for the expansion coefficients of the system of series solutions. The initial conditions required in the proposed boundary value problems are assumed and determined from a set of nonlinear algebraic equations resulting from the given right boundary conditions. Three special systems of nonlinear singular boundary value problems of Lane–Emden type are presented to demonstrate the proposed method’s reliability, effectiveness, and accuracy. The obtained approximate solutions are compared with the exact solutions (where they are available), or with other existing results (where the exact solution is not readily available). The series solution of the first example has a slow convergent rate, while the results of the other two examples are in excellent agreement with the exact solutions and other published results.

Existence Results for Tempered-Hilfer Fractional Differential Problems on Hölder Spaces

This paper considers a nonlinear fractional-order boundary value problem HDa,gα1,β,μx(t)+f(t,x(t),HDa,gα2,β,μx(t))=0, for t∈[a,b], α1∈(1,2], α2∈(0,1], β∈[0,1] with appropriate integral boundary conditions on the Hölder spaces. Here, f is a real-valued function that satisfies the Hölder condition, and HDa,gα,β,μ represents the tempered-Hilfer fractional derivative of order α>0 with parameter μ∈R+ and type β∈[0,1]. The corresponding integral problem is introduced in the study of this issue. This paper addresses a fundamental issue in the field, namely the circumstances under which differential and integral problems are equivalent. This approach enables the study of differential problems using integral operators. In order to achieve this, tempered fractional calculus and the equivalence problem of the studied problems are introduced and studied. The selection of an appropriate function space is of fundamental importance. This paper investigates the applicability of these operators on Hölder spaces and provides a comprehensive rationale for this choice.

Steady-state triad resonance between a surface gravity wave and two hydroacoustic waves based on the homotopy analysis method

Under water compressibility, resonant triads can occur within the family of acoustic-gravity waves. This work investigates steady-state triad resonance between a surface gravity wave and two hydroacoustic waves. The water-wave equations are solved as a nonlinear boundary value problem using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Within the HAM framework, a potential singularity resulting from exact triad resonance is avoided by appropriately choosing the auxiliary linear operator. The resonant hydroacoustic wave component, along with the two primary waves (one hydroacoustic wave and one gravity wave), is considered to determine an initial guess for the velocity potential. Additionally, by selecting an optimal “convergence-control parameter,” the steady-state resonance between a surface gravity wave and two hydroacoustic waves is successfully obtained. It is found that steady-state resonant acoustic-gravity waves are ubiquitous under certain circumstances. The two primary wave components and the resonant hydroacoustic wave component take up most of the energy in the steady-state resonant acoustic-gravity wave system. The amplitude of the resonant hydroacoustic wave component is mainly determined by the primary hydroacoustic wave component, and the amplitudes of both hydroacoustic waves are approximately equal in all cases considered. In addition, when the overall amplitude of the wave system increases, both dimensionless angular frequencies decrease, indicating that the nonlinearity of the entire wave system becomes stronger with an increase in the wave system amplitude. The amplitude of the primary hydroacoustic wave has a relatively large effect on the system's nonlinearity. This work will enrich and deepen our understanding of acoustic-gravity waves.

Seismic wave amplification in a weakly nonlinear two-layered soil deposit

Based on numerous observations, local soil site conditions can significantly affect the formation of seismic responses. In this paper, we examine seismic responses caused by shear waves propagating through a two-layered soil deposit. The aim of the research is to study the phenomenon of amplification of shear waves due to the resonant properties of the soil deposit and the nonlinear characteristics of partial layers, which are assumed to be the cubically nonlinear continuous media. The target problem relates to a nonlinear boundary value problem, the solution of which is carried out using a semi-analytical approach. According to the approach, the problem’s solution is sought using the method of separation of variables, while the solution to the corresponding spectral problem is derived in the form of a power series. Additionally, good agreement is shown between theoretical studies and numerical simulations. The developed approach allows one to evaluate the amplification factor for a nonlinear two-layered soil deposit and to detect changes in the shape of amplification factor profiles when the frequency of an incident wave on a rigid bedrock is varied.

On the existence of solutions for a class of nonlinear fully fourth-order differential systems

This paper discusses the existence of solutions to fourth order nonlinear boundary value problem involving systems of differential equations and two point boundary conditions. The nonlinearity f ∈ C ([0,1] × Rn+ × Rn × Rn × Rn, Rn)considered in this paper includes derivatives up to order three. Using recent fixed point results for the sum of two operators, we impose a growth condition on f to establish a new existence criteria that ensure the existence of at least one and the existence of at least two nonnegative solutions.

Training RBF neural networks for solving nonlinear and inverse boundary value problems

Radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN) have been increasingly employed to solve boundary value problems (BVPs). In the current study, we propose such a technique for nonlinear (apparently for the first time) elliptic BVPs of orders two and four in 2-D and 3-D. The method is also extended, in a natural way, to solving 2-D and 3-D inverse BVPs. The RBFNN is trained via the least squares minimization of a nonlinear functional using the MATLAB®routine lsqnonlin. In this way, as well as the solution, appropriate values of the RBF approximation parameters are automatically delivered. The efficacy of the proposed RBFNN is demonstrated through several numerical experiments.

Numerical study of binary mixture and thermophoretic analysis near a solar radiative heat transfer

The main focus of the current article is to investigate the two-dimensional boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian fluid induced by a linear stretching surface in the streamwise direction. The flow features of non-Newtonian fluid (i.e. shear-thinning and thickening nature of the fluids) are explored with Carreau fluid model. In addition, thermophoresis, Brownian motion, thermal radiation (with Rosseland approximation), binary mixture and activation enthalpy are also incorporated in fluid model for better analysis of thermal and solutal properties. The mathematical modelling of under consider physical problem yields nonlinear partial differential system. The governing mathematical system is first simplified with scaling transformations for the high Reynolds number and then transformed into non-dimensional ordinary differential system by using the similarity variables. Since the governing mathematical system comprised on nonlinear boundary value problem, thus shooting method is utilized for the numerical solution of the fluid flow governing equations. The obtained results followed the qualitative manners of the previously reported data. The computed results for important physical quantities (i.e. velocity, temperature, and concentration) are presented through graphs and then interpreted physically. It is observed that the boundary layer thickness increased for shear thickening fluids (n>1) while it is reduced for shear thinning fluids (n<1). Also, the temperature of shear thinning fluid is higher than shear thickening fluid. In addition, heat generation and thermal radiations enhance the thermal boundary layer. Thermophoretic viscosity effect reduces the concentration profile significantly in the flow domain.

A Nonlinear Mixed Finite Element Method for the Analysis of Flexoelectric Semiconductors

Abstract In this paper, we develop a nonlinear mixed finite element method for flexoelectric semiconductors and analyze the mechanically tuned redistributions of free carriers and electric currents through flexoelectric polarization in typical structures. We first present a macroscopic theory for flexoelectric semiconductors by combining flexoelectricity and nonlinear drift-diffusion theory. To use C0 continuous elements, we derive an incremental constrained weak form by introducing Langrage multipliers, in which the kinematic constraints between the displacement and its gradient are guaranteed. Based on the weak form, we established a mixed C0 continuous nine-node quadrilateral finite element as well as an iterative process for solving nonlinear boundary-value problems. The accuracy and convergence of the proposed element are validated by comparing linear finite element method results against analytical solutions for the bending of a beam. Finally, the nonlinear element method is applied to more complex problems, such as a circular ring, a plate with a hole, and an isosceles trapezoid. Results indicate that mechanical loads and doping levels have distinct influences on electric properties.

The improved residual power series method for the solutions of higher-order linear and nonlinear boundary value problems

AbstractIRPSM is the extended form of RPSM that gives an approximate solution to boundary value problems without requiring an exact solution. This method creates a truncated series for the determination of the missing initial conditions. The present study is conducted to evaluate semi-numerical solutions to differential equations using the Improved Residual Power Series Method (IRPSM). Our main objective is to check whether the proposed scheme is efficient for solving such equations or not. The solution of differential equations has been approximated using truncated residual power series. The method is used to solve differential equations for higher-order linear and non-linear boundary value problems. Absolute errors for the solved problems are calculated to ensure accuracy. It is also compared with some known methods, like the Differential Transform Method (DTM) and the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). For the calculations, Mathematica 12.0 software is used. The computed results are compared to the exact solutions as well as the available results in the literature. The results showed that the results obtained by IRPSM are closely related to the exact solution when compared to the DTM and HPM results.
