ABSTRACT

Non-Newtonian fluids are essential in situations where heat and mass transfer are involved. Heat and mass transfer processes increase efficiency when nanoparticles (0.01≤φ≤0.03) are added to these fluids. The present study implements a computational approach to investigate the behavior of non-Newtonian nanofluids on the surface of an upright cone. Viscous dissipation (0.3≤Ec≤0.9) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) (1≤M≤3) are also taken into account. Furthermore, we explore how microorganisms impact the fluid's mass and heat transfer. The physical model's governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using a similarity transformation to make the analysis easier. The ODEs are solved numerically using the Bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The momentum, thermal, concentration, and microbe diffusion profiles are graphically represented in the current research. MHD (1≤M≤3) effects improve the diffusion of microbes, resulting in increased heat and mass transfer rates of 18 % and 19 %, respectively, based on our results. Furthermore, a comparison of our findings with existing literature demonstrates promising agreement.

ABSTRACT

Nanomaterial flow has fascinated the concern of scientists across the globe due to its innovative applications in various manufacturing, industrial, and engineering domains. Bearing aforementioned uses in mind, the focal point of this study is to examine the Carreau nanofluid flow configured by the Riga surface with Arrhenius catalysts. Microorganisms are also suspended in nanofluid to strengthen the density of the regular fluid. Time-dependent coupled partial differential equations that represent the flow dynamics are modified into dimensionless patterns via appropriate non-dimensional variables, and handled through an explicit finite difference approach with stability appraisal. The performances of multiple flow variables are examined graphically and numerically. Representation of 3D surface and contour plots for heat transportation and entropy generation are also epitomized. The findings express that the modified Hartmann number strengthens the motion of nanomaterial. Reverse outcomes for heat transport rate and entropy are seen for the radiation variable. Concentration diminishes for chemical reaction variable. Activation energy enhances the concentration of nanomaterial, whereas reduction happens in the movement of microbes for bio-Lewis number. Greater Brinkman variable heightens the entropy.
