Flow of a Non-Newtonian Nanofluid Between Coaxial Cylinders with Variable Viscosity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper, we have focused our attention to highlight the study of a non-Newtonian nanofluid between coaxial cylinders with variable viscosity. The governing equations of the nonNewtonian fluid with variable viscosity along with energy and nanoparticles are given. The coupled nonlinear differential equations are solved analytically with the help of the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the solution is discussed through h-curves. The physical features of pertinent parameters are discussed by plotting graphs.

An investigation of porosity and magnetohydrodynamic flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid in coaxial cylinders
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade nanofluid between coaxial porous cylinders was investigated in this work. Two types of series solutions were presented for constant and variable viscosity. The resulting nonlinear coupled equations were solved by employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the series solutions has been discussed explicitly. The recurrence formul...

A study on the flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid between two coaxial cylinders is made. Two types of series solutions are constructed by choosing constant and variable viscosity. The effects of heat transfer analysis on nanoparticles in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics, porosity and partial slip are also examined. To drive the solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems, we have used a rec...

The entropy generation analysis of non-Newtonian fluid in rotational flow between two concentric cylinders is examined when the outer cylinder is fixed and the inner cylinder is revolved with a constant angular speed. The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid is considered at the same time interdependent on temperature and shear rate. The Nahme law and Carreau equation are used to modeling dependenc...

Flow field and heat transfer of a nanofluid, whose non-Newtonian behavior has been demonstrated in the laboratory, in a square enclosure have been numerically modeled and investigated. To estimate the viscosity of nanofluid, experimental data of Hong and Kim, 2012 have been used, and a new model has been proposed. Finally, the obtained results have been compared to those of Newtonian behavior. ...

In the present work, a mathematical model is developed and analyzed to study the influence of nanoparticle concentration through Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusion. The governing system of PDEs is transformed into a coupled non-linear ODEs by using suitable variables. The converted equations are then solved by using robust shooting method with the help of MATLAB (bvp4c). The impacts o...
