Study on Heat and Mass Transfer of Nanofluid Flow through a Moving Thin Needle

Abstract

The research provides a comprehensive exploration of the mass and heat transfer newlineproperties of nanofluid flow over a slender needle. The unique thermal and transport newlineproperties of nanofluids-engineered suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid have drawn newlinemuch attention recently. Various industries, including manufacturing, heat exchangers, newlineand medical procedures, used the interaction between nanofluids in complex geometries, newlinesuch as thin needles. Using the mathematical nanofluid model provided by Buongiorno, a newlinetheoretical and numerical study is developed to analyse the activation energy in the flow newlineof nanofluids through thin moving needle. The governing partial differential equations newlineare transformed using a similarity transformation into a set of ordinary differential newlineequations, which are then solved numerically by Runge-Kutta Shooting Method (RKSM). newlineA passively controlled nanoparticle volume fraction boundary is assumed rather than newlineactively controlled. The physical characteristics of flow, heat and mass transfer are newlineillustrated via graphs and tables for some set of values of governing parameters. The newlineeffects of heat generation, variable viscosity, variable thermal conductivity, bioconvection, newlinethermally non-equilibrium, surface heating, and Newtonian heating are also considered in newlinethe nanofluid flow while addressing this communication. In addition, the basic non-linear newlinegoverning equations are solved analytically by using the Differential Transform Method newline(DTM). The statistical exploration is conducted to reveal how the physical parameter is newlineimpacted by the heat transfer rate newline
