Abstract

Inclusion of nanoparticles boosts thermal performance and is essential for thermal transport. The current investigation has been made to conduct research on heat mass transport in synovial material with the mixing of hybrid and tri-hybrid comprising variable viscosity past over a heated surface having constant density and a steady environment. The conservation laws have been considered in the presence of Lorentz force, heat generation/absorption, modified heat and mass fluxes together with chemical reaction. The mathematical model is developed in Cartesian coordinate in the form of coupled partial differential equation (PDEs). The derived PDEs are simplified by a boundary layer approach (BLA) and reduced PDEs have been converted into ordinary differential equation (ODEs) using scaling group Similarity transformation. The converted ODEs are highly nonlinear and have been solved numerically by finite elements scheme (FES).

Results and outcomes

Comparative features in term of two viscosity models are studied over a 2D stretchable sheet. A non-Fourier’s approach is considered in energy as well as concentration equation. Heat source and chemical species are addressed. Additionally, suspension of various nanoparticles (silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide and titanium oxide) is inserted in base fluid) termed as ethylene glycol. The productive complex biological model is numerically handled using a finite element approach. Detail reports and discussion are mentioned below.

Comparison discussion among two viscosity models via fluidic motion

In the current subsection, acceleration into fluidic particles is measured in Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6, including two viscosity models and tri-hybrid nanomaterial. It is mentioned that solid curves are captured to determine the impact of acceleration and fluidic motion for model-I while model-II is represented by dot curves. Figure 3 is plotted to visualize the role of Weissenberg number on fluidic motion, including two viscosity models. The acceleration into fluidic particles is produced less when Weissenberg number is enhanced. This is because Weissenberg number is ratio among elastic force and viscous force. From physically, Weissenberg number has inversely proportional relation against viscous force. Therefore, viscosity of fluid is increased when Weissenberg number is increased. Further, the concept of we is utilized into motion due to rheology of synovial fluid. Physically, we has inverse relation versus viscous force. Therefore, the thicknesses associated momentum layers are declined when we is enhanced. Thickness for momentum layers for we=0 is higher than thicknesses for we≠0. Figure 4 is plotted to observe visualization of flow analysis versus magnetic parameter. Flow becomes decrease when Lorentz force is implemented. It is mentioned that appearance of magnetic parameter is produced using concept of Lorentz force. Moreover, flow experiences less Lorentz force for model-II rather than flow for the case of model-II. Thickness linked with momentum boundary layer for model-II is less than Thickness linked with momentum boundary layer for model-I. Physically, the flow is reduced because of negative Lorentz force. The strength of magnetic field is applied against flow behavior. Therefore, resistance during flow is generated when Lorentz force is utilized. Hence, Lorentz force is utilized as reducing role into flow and momentum boundary layers thickness. The role of Reynolds number along with two models (viscosity models) is noticed on velocity distribution in Fig. 5. It is estimated that flow develops slow down against higher values of Reynolds number. It is occurred because Reynolds parameter is ratio among viscous force and inertial force. Hence, viscous force is increased versus increment in Reynolds number. Additionally, the flow is generated significantly for mode-I rather than flow is generated for model-II. Figure 6 reveals the behavior of heat source (Ht) on velocity profile. Flow becomes maximize using concept of higher values of Ht. The concept of Ht on flow behavior is produced when external thermal energy source is utilized at wall. Two types phenomena are experienced on flow based on heat generation and heat absorption. Heat generation is happened for Ht>0 while heat absorption for Ht<0.

Comparison discussion among two viscosity models via fluidic thermal energy

The comparative thermal features are estimated versus time relaxation, heat source parameters for model-I and model-II considering in Figs. 7 and 8. Figure 7 is captured to estimate the behavior of time relaxation number on temperature profile. It is determined that maximum heat energy is achieved for the case of γ1. The maximum heat energy is experienced when time relaxation number is enhanced. This is occurred maximum restoration regarding heat energy is produced. Representation of δ1 is utilized in energy equation due to non-Fourier’s approach. It is dimensionless parameter based on non-Fourier’s law and δ1 makes ability to restore heat energy into particles. Further, maximum manufacture of heat energy for model-II as compared for the case of model-I. Hence, thickness linked with thermal layers is higher for model-II rather than for model-I. Figure 8 captures the observation of heat source number on thermal profile. Thermal energy is gained maximum when heat source parameter is implemented. Two type’s phenomena are experienced on flow based on heat generation and heat absorption. Heat generation is happened for Ht>0 while heat absorption for Ht<0. It can be noticed that heat generation process is higher than heat absorption process. Thermal layers can be managed trough variation in Ht. Physically, it can be noticed that thermal layers in term of thickness are increased versus increment values of heat source number. Figure 9 is observed as significant in term of comparison among tri and hybrid nanomaterial. Solid lines are captured to comparative visualization among fluid, nanofluid, hybrid nanomaterial and tri-hybrid nanomaterial in base fluid. It is estimated that heat energy in view of tri-hybrid nanomaterial is higher than thermal energy for case hybrid nanomaterial, fluid and nanofluid. Hence, maximum enhancement and cooling process are achieved for case of ternary hybrid nanofluid.

Comparison discussion among two viscosity models via fluidic mass species

Figures 10, 11 and 12 are prepared to determine the observations of mass diffusion against distribution in Schmidt number, chemical reaction number and time relaxation number. Figure 10 is prepared to determine estimation of Schmidt number including model-I and model-II. Diffusion into solute particles becomes slow down when Sc is enhanced. Schmidt parameter is defined as ratio among momentum and mass species into fluid particles. So, an inversely proportional trend is noticed against change in mass species. Consequently, the diffusion of species becomes slowdown when Sc is increased. Production of mass diffusion for Sc=0 is greater than production of mass diffusion for Sc≠0. Thickness related thermal layers are declined versus variation in Schmidt number. The role of time relaxation parameter on mass diffusion for model-I and model-II is considered in Fig. 11. The diffusion into mass species is declined when time relaxation parameter is decreased. Moreover, the mass diffusion for model-II is greater than for the case model-I. It is observed that occurrence of δ2 is noticed using theory of non-Fourier’s in concentration equation. Diffusion of mass species is declined when theory of non-Fourier is utilized. Figure 12 is prepared to estimate the variation in mass diffusion when chemical reaction number in the presence of model-II and model-I. Figure 12 reveals the process of generative chemical reaction (Kc<0) is less than process of destructive chemical reaction (Kc>0). Appearance of Kc is modeled when chemical reaction is occurred into mass species. Transport of mass species is reduced for model-II and model-I when chemical reaction number is enhanced.

Impacts of Sherwood number, skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate

Impacts of Sherwood number, heat transfer rate and skin friction coefficient are predicted versus variation in Weissenberg, heat source, magnetic and Schmidt numbers. These visualizations are recorded in Table 4. It is noticed that divergent velocity (skin friction coefficient) and heat transport rate are enhanced versus the variation in heat source number. But constant behavior for mass diffusion rate is observed for variation in heat source number. Magnetic parameter brings declination into heat transfer and mass diffusion rated while divergent velocity is decreased. Additionally, mass diffusion rate is enhanced when Schmidt number is increased. In case of Weissenberg number, flow rate is decreased and mass diffusion rate and heat energy rate are increased.
