Semi-spherical fins are widely considered to be one of the best thermal exchangers available. It is widely employed, including aero planes, chemicals and electronic kits and porous medium is an ...extensive application that includes drying efficiency enhancement, filtering insulations, hydraulic oils, reactor temperature control and solar collectors. With these applications in perspective, the current study uses Darcy’s model to examine the performance of hybrid nanofluids flowing over a semi-spherical porous fin. Additionally, temperature dependent internal heat generating condition, natural convection and radiation effects are also taken into account. The nonlinear form of an ordinary differential equation (ODE) along with boundary conditions is resolved using RKF 45 method. The numerical results are obtained for various physical constraints and the impact of these constraints on fin surface temperature is discussed via graphs. The results show that increasing an internal heat generation parameter raises temperature, whereas the opposite is true for radiation and convective parameters. Furthermore, the temperature of the hybrid nanofluid is consistently higher than the temperature of the nanofluid.

The current investigation is carried out to study a heat source/sink in a porous medium generated by a nonlinear stretched surface with the impact of thermophoretic particle deposition (TPD) on ...three-dimensional (3D) nanofluid flow due to the vast range of industrial applications like a condensation of aerosol particles on walls, extraction of oil, coated steel cooling, and radial reflectors. The mathematical model was subjected to a boundary layer approximation, which resulted in the development of partial differential equations (PDEs) then converting these equations to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) the similarity variable is used. The system of reduced ODEs is solved with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth fifth-order (RKF-45) and shooting techniques with the help of MATLAB software. Discussions are made with the help of graphs obtained for various dimensionless constraints. The results show that nanoparticle addition will improve the thermal profile, but contrary behavior is seen in the velocity and concentration profiles. Three-dimensional figures are drawn to show the behavior of different constraints over Nusselt, Sherwood, and Skin friction factors along with the numerical tabulation presented.

The heat transfer and thermal distribution through porous fins have gotten a lot of attention in recent years due to their extensive applications in the manufacturing and engineering field. In porous ...fins, the impact of magnetic field aids in improved heat transfer enhancement. Also, the combination of an electric effect and a magnetic field considerably enhances heat transfer. In this direction, the thermal distribution through a convective–radiative longitudinal trapezoidal porous fin with the impact of an internal heat source and an electromagnetic field is discussed in the present analysis. The governing heat equation is nondimensionalized with nondimensional terms, and the transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equation is solved analytically using the DTM–Pade approximant algorithm. Furthermore, the graphical discussion is presented to explore the impact of various nondimensional parameters, such as convection‐conduction parameter, fin taper ratio, thermomagnetic field, radiation–conduction parameter, internal heat generation parameter, and thermoelectrical field on the temperature gradient of the fin. The investigation's key findings disclose that as the magnitude of the convection–conduction parameter, fin taper ratio, and radiation–conduction parameter increase, the thermal distribution through the fin reduces. The thermal distribution inside the fin increases for the heat‐generating parameter, thermoelectric, and thermomagnetic fields.

The wide range of industrial applications of flow across moving or static solid surfaces has aroused the curiosity of researchers. In order to generate a more exact estimate of flow and heat transfer ...properties, three-dimensional modelling must be addressed. This plays a vital role in metalworking operations, producing plastic and rubber films, and the continuous cooling of fibre. In view of the above scope, an incompressible, laminar three-dimensional flow of a Casson nanoliquid in the occurrence of thermophoretic particle deposition over a non-linearly extending sheet is examined. To convert the collection of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations, the governing equations are framed with sufficient assumptions, and appropriate similarity transformations are employed. The reduced equations are solved by implementing Runge Kutta Fehlberg 4th 5th order technique with the aid of a shooting scheme. The numerical results are obtained for linear and non-linear cases, and graphs are drawn for various dimensionless constraints. The present study shows that improvement in the Casson parameter values will diminish the axial velocities, but improvement is seen in thermal distribution. The escalation in the thermophoretic parameter will decline the concentration profiles. The rate of mass transfer, surface drag force will reduce with the improved values of the power law index. The non-linear stretching case shows greater impact in all of the profiles compared to the linear stretching case.
The Soret and Dufour effects have significant importance in several practical scenarios, especially in the domain of fluidic mass and temperature transfer. Nanofluidics, biological systems, and ...combustion processes are all areas where these consequences are crucial. Because of its distinct geometry, a wedge-shaped structure has aerodynamics, production, and engineering applications. Wedge shapes are used in aerodynamics for analyzing and improving airflow across various objects. Nanofluids increase thermal conductivity over traditional fluids making them ideal for cooling high-power electronics, boosting temperature transfer efficiencies, and boosting the solar energy system output. This work is of critical importance since it examines the consequences of a heat source/sink, the Soret impact and the Dufour impact, on the movement of a ternary nanofluid over a wedge. This work uses appropriate similarity constraints to reduce the complexity of the underlying governing equations, allowing for fast computational solutions with the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 4–5 th order method (RKF-45). Analysis of these phenomena helps determine their possible real-world applications across various engineering fields, by presenting numerical results through plots. The results reveal that adjusting the moving wedge factor lessens the temperature profile, improving the magnetic constraint increases the velocity, and modifying the heat source/sink, Dufour, and Soret factors increases the temperature and concentration profiles. Dufour and heat source/sink constraints speed-up the heat transmission rate. In all cases, ternary nano liquids show significant performance over hybrid nano liquids.

The Riga surface is composed of an electromagnetic actuator that comprises a span‐wise associated array of discontinuous electrodes and an everlasting magnet mounted over a planer surface. The ...electro‐magneto‐hydrodynamic has an attractive role in thermal reactors, fluidics network flow, liquid chromatography, and micro coolers. Inspired by these applications, a laminar, two‐dimensional nanofluid flow with uniform heat sink‐source, thermophoretic depositions of the particles, and the Newtonian heating effect are investigated. The equations that describe the fluid motion are reduced into a system of ordinary differential equations with the help of spatial similarity variables. Numeric solutions of ordinary differential equations are executed through the Runge–Kutta–Felhberg 45 order technique via a shooting scheme. The role of various nondimensional factors on physically interesting quantities is elaborated graphically. The velocity profile rises for modified Hartmann number and decreases for porosity parameter. Thermal enhancement is high in the common wall temperature condition comparative to the case of the Newtonian heating conditions. The concentration profile is enhanced with Schmidt number, but the reverse trend is observed for the thermophoretic parameter. The rate of mass transfer is increased with Schmidt number.
