Abstract

Fluids in motion are integral to various industrial and engineering applications, where newlineunderstanding their flow dynamics is essential for optimizing energy transfer systems. newlineAmong these, non-Newtonian fluids, with their complex rheological behavior, have drawn newlinesignificant attention for their potential in improving thermal management processes. newlineMaxwell thin-film fluids, in particular, are vital in industries such as coatings, lubrication, newlineand microfluidic devices due to their enhanced ability to control heat dissipation newlineand energy transfer. Their unique properties make them highly effective in systems newlinerequiring precise thermal regulation and efficient energy utilization. In addition to non- newlineNewtonian fluids, bio-nanoconvection involving motile microorganisms plays a crucial newlinerole in enhancing heat and mass transfer, especially when interacting with effects like newlinethermal radiation and heat sources. These bio-nanofluids have a significant impact on newlinefluid behavior, making them applicable to advanced cooling systems and biotechnological newlineprocesses. Nanofluids, which have gained widespread attention for their superior heat newlinetransfer properties, are explored further in this study. By suspending nanoparticles in newlinebase fluids, nanofluids provide enhanced thermal performance. This research extends newlineto hybrid nanofluids, which combine different nanoparticles to achieve even greater heat newlinetransfer efficiency. The behavior of hybrid nanofluids in complex geometries, such as newlinerotating cones and porous media, offers new insights into fluid flow dynamics and heat newlinetransfer improvement newline
