Control of dusty nanofluid due to the interaction on dust particles in a conducting medium: Numerical investigation

Abstract

With ultra-high thermal significances, the nano-materials present some fundamental applications in many thermal engineering eras, mechanical and chemical engineering and modern technology. For sustainable development of industrial growth of a country, the enhancement in energy production and resources become one of the most fundamental challenges for scientists. This analysis presents the thermal aspects of dust nanoparticles in a dusty nano-material for the interaction of transverse magnetic field come across an expanding surface. The conjunction of Maxwell model thermal conductivity influences the characteristic of thermal properties that is helpful to enrich the heat transport phenomena. A mathematical model is prepared by considering metal nano-material (copper and silver) in association with the conventional fluid water. The numerical treatment is deployed for the solution of the complex nonlinear problem characterized by dust phase material and fluid transformed governing equations. The transport of heat energy is affected by the transient behavior of the volume fraction, dust particle number density in conjunction with magnetic field. However, the key features of the outcomes for the characterizing parameters are lubricated through graphs and simulated numerical values for the rate coefficients are presented in table that leads to the validation work with the earlier investigation. An increment in heat transfer rate is noted with suspension of copper nanoparticles in the dusty fluid while heat transfer reduces in case of silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles temperature enhanced with interaction parameter and specific heat ratio. The current analysis has a greater impact in bio-medical since i.e. the blood flow within the artery as well as several industrial and engineering applications. All these aspects depend upon the nanoparticles particle size therefore the dust and nanoparticles proposed here are spherical.
