Dynamics of energy transport on hydromagnetic Casson slippery nanoflow over curved surface
Abstract
The study of fluid flow over curved surfaces is crucial in various engineering applications, such as designing aircraft wings, turbines, and submarines. Curved surfaces are being explored in various biomedical applications, such as designing stents for blood vessels and implants for bones and joints. Concerning the present applications of curved stretching sheets on fluid dynamics along with trihybrid nanofluids, this study is unique and fills the research gaps and offers solutions to several issues. This work looks at the flow through the boundary layer of an electrically conductive trihybrid nanofluid and the convection heat exchange of a Casson fluid across a curved stretched surface encircled within a circle of radius R. The study considers the effects of thermal radiation using the non-linearized Rosseland approximation, as well as a magnetic field, and hydromagnetic slip. The flow as well as the transfer of heat problem is mathematically described by curvilinear coordinates. Using the combination of the shooting technique and the Runge-Kutta method, similar solutions to the modeled partial differential equations are produced, and the set of non-linear ordinary differential equations with a boundary value solver is implemented through the MATLAB program. The study finds the influence of several limits on critical characteristics such as fluid velocity, coefficient of skin friction, pressure, temperature, and rate of heat exchange over a surface. The findings are shown in tables and graphs. Additionally, a comparative analysis between the current findings and those found in the literature is provided. Blood-containing nanoparticles (GO-SWCNTs-MWCNTs) on curved surfaces could improve drug delivery effectiveness, growth of synthetic tissues or organs with complex structures and effective cancer therapy treatment.
