Abstract:
This study examines the flow of hyperbolic nanofluid over a stretching sheet in three dimensions. The influence of velocity slip on the flow and heat transfer properties of a hyperbolic nanofluid has been investigated. The partial differential equations for nanoparticle solid concentration, energy, and motion were turned into ordinary differential equations. Nanoparticle mass fluxes at boundaries are assumed to be zero, unlike surface concentrations. The influence of the main parameters on flow characteristics, surface friction coefficients, and the Nusselt number has been visualized. The results suggest that Brownian motion has a negligible impact on the heat transfer rate. The ratio of the elastic force to the viscosity force was found to decrease the fluid velocity. The resulting thermophysical properties of nanofluids are in agreement with previous research. The present findings can be used to expand the potential for using nanofluids as a coolant in critical thermophysical and industrial installations.

Abstract:
The core purpose of this work is the formulation of a mathematical model by dint of a new fractional modeling approach to study the dynamics of flow and heat transfer phenomena. This approach involves the incorporation of the Prabhakar fractional operator in mathematical analysis to transform the governing system from a conventional framework to a generalized one. This generalized model evaluates the improvement in thermal efficacy of vacuum pump oil because of the inclusion of aluminum alloy nanoparticles. The flow of the under-observation nanofluid starts due to the combined effects of natural convection and the ramped velocity function at the boundary. Meanwhile, an analysis of the energy equation is conducted by taking the Newtonian heating mechanism into consideration. The characteristics of platelet-, brick-, cylinder-, and blade-shaped alloy nanoparticles are incorporated into the primary system using shape-dependent relations for thermal conductivity and viscosity. Both the classical and generalized models are solved to derive the exact solutions by first inserting some dimension-independent quantities and then operating the Laplace transform on the succeeding equations. These solutions are utilized for the development of graphical illustrations to serve the purpose of covering all features of the problem under consideration. Furthermore, changes in energy and flow functions due to the dominant influences of the relevant contributing factors are delineated with appropriate physical arguments. In addition, the numerical results of the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are displayed via multiple tables to analyze the disturbance in shear stress and discuss the contribution of the fractional parameters, the volume concentration of the considered nanoparticles, and the shape factor in the boost of the thermal potential of the considered nanofluid. The findings imply that aluminum alloy nanoparticles have the ability to produce a 44% enhancement in the thermal effectiveness of vacuum pump oil. Moreover, the flow velocity is reduced as the loading range of the nanoparticles rises.

Abstract:
The Navier–Stokes (NS) equations involving MHD effects with time-fractional derivatives are discussed in this paper. This paper investigates the local and global existence and uniqueness of the mild solution to the NS equations for the time fractional differential operator. In addition, we work on the regularity effects of such types of equations which are caused by MHD flow.

Abstract:
A magnetic field is frequently employed to stabilize the flow field in real-world applications of fluid mechanics difficulties. The current study examines the effect of thermophoretic particle deposition on liquid flow across a rotating disk. In this study, a horizontal uniform magnetic field is used to regularize the flow field formed by a rotating disk. The horizontal magnetic field that is applied is not the same as the external upright magnetic field. In addition, the energy equation is investigated when exposed to thermal radiation. Using the conventional von Kármán similarity transformations, it is shown that a horizontal magnetic field leads to a similarity system of equations. Using proper transformations, the modeling equations are translated into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Later, using the shooting technique and the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg's–fourth–fifth order approach (RKF-45), the obtained system is numerically solved. The obtained numerical findings are then graphically shown and discussed in depth. The results reveal that, the rise in values of magnetic parameter declines the both axial and radial velocity profiles. The rise in values of thermophoretic parameter and thermophoretic coefficient decays the mass transport.

Abstract:
The present research was developed to find out the effect of heated cylinder configurations in accordance with the magnetic field on the natural convective flow within a square cavity. In the cavity, four types of configurations—left bottom heated cylinder (LBC), right bottom heated cylinder (RBC), left top heated cylinder (LTC) and right top heated cylinder (RTC)—were considered in the investigation. The current mathematical problem was formulated using the non-linear governing equations and then solved by engaging the process of Galerkin weighted residuals based on the finite element scheme (FES). The investigation of the present problem was conducted using numerous parameters: the Rayleigh number (Ra = 103–105), the Hartmann number (Ha = 0–200) at Pr = 0.71 on the flow field, thermal pattern and the variation of heat inside the enclosure. The clarifications of the numerical result were exhibited in the form of streamlines, isotherms, velocity profiles and temperature profiles, local and mean Nusselt number, along with heated cylinder configurations. From the obtained outcomes, it was observed that the rate of heat transport, as well as the local Nusselt number, decreased for the LBC and LTC configurations, but increased for the RBC and RTC configurations with the increase of the Hartmann number within the square cavity. In addition, the mean Nusselt number for the LBC, RBC, LTC and RTC configurations increased when the Hartmann number was absent, but decreased when the Hartmann number increased in the cavity. The computational results were verified in relation to a published work and were found to be in good agreement.

Abstract:
This discussion intends to scrutinize the Darcy–Forchheimer flow of Casson–Williamson nanofluid in a stretching surface with non-linear thermal radiation, suction and heat consumption. In addition, this investigation assimilates the influence of the Brownian motion, thermophoresis, activation energy and binary chemical reaction effects. Cattaneo–Christov heat-mass flux theory is used to frame the energy and nanoparticle concentration equations. The suitable transformation is used to remodel the governing PDE model into an ODE model. The remodeled flow problems are numerically solved via the BVP4C scheme. The effects of various material characteristics on nanofluid velocity, nanofluid temperature and nanofluid concentration, as well as connected engineering aspects such as drag force, heat, and mass transfer gradients, are also calculated and displayed through tables, charts and figures. It is noticed that the nanofluid velocity upsurges when improving the quantity of Richardson number, and it downfalls for larger magnitudes of magnetic field and porosity parameters. The nanofluid temperature grows when enhancing the radiation parameter and Eckert number. The nanoparticle concentration upgrades for larger values of activation energy parameter while it slumps against the reaction rate parameter. The surface shear stress for the Williamson nanofluid is greater than the Casson nanofluid. There are more heat transfer gradient losses the greater the heat generation/absorption parameter and Eckert number. In addition, the local Sherwood number grows when strengthening the Forchheimer number and fitted rate parameter.

Abstract:
This article aims to develop a mathematical simulation of the steady mixed convective Darcy–Forchheimer flow of Williamson nanofluid over a linear stretchable surface. In addition, the effects of Cattaneo–Christov heat and mass flux, Brownian motion, activation energy, and thermophoresis are also studied. The novel aspect of this study is that it incorporates thermal radiation to investigate the physical effects of thermal and solutal stratification on mixed convection flow and heat transfer. First, the profiles of velocity and energy equations were transformed toward the ordinary differential equation using the appropriate similarity transformation. Then, the system of equations was modified by first-order ODEs in MATLAB and solved using the bvp4c approach. Graphs and tables imply the impact of physical parameters on concentration, temperature, velocity, skin friction coefficient, mass, and heat transfer rate. The outcomes show that the nanofluid temperature and concentration are reduced with the more significant thermal and mass stratification parameters estimation.

Abstract:
Alumina nanoparticles (Al2O3) are one of the essential metal oxides and have a wide range of applications and unique physio-chemical features. Most notably, alumina has been shown to have thermal properties such as high thermal conductivity and a convective heat transfer coefficient. Therefore, this study is conducted to integrate the adsorption of Al2O3 in mineral oil-based Maxwell fluid. The ambitious goal of this study is to intensify the mechanical and thermal properties of a Maxwell fluid under heat flux boundary conditions. The novelty of the research is increased by introducing fractional derivatives to the Maxwell model. There are various distinct types of fractional derivative definitions, with the Caputo fractional derivative being one of the most predominantly applied. Therefore, the fractoinal-order derivatives are evaluated using the fractional Caputo derivative, and the integer-order derivatives are evaluated using the Crank–Nicolson method. The obtained results are graphically displayed to demonstrate how all governing parameters, such as nanoparticle volume fraction, relaxation time, fractional derivative, magnetic field, thermal radiation, and viscous dissipation, have a significant impact on fluid flow and temperature distribution.
