The present work investigates the impacts of the Lorentz forces, porosity factor, viscous dissipation and radiation in thermo-Marangoni convective flow of a nanofluids (comprising two distinct kinds of carbon nanotubes ($CNT_{s}$)), in water ($H_{2}O$). Heat transportation developed by Marangoni forces happens regularly in microgravity situations, heat pipes, and in crystal growth. Therefore, Marangoni convection is considered in the flow model. A nonlinear system is constructed utilizing these assumptions which further converted to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by accurate similarity transformations. The homotopic scheme is utilized to compute the exact solution for the proposed system. The study reveals that higher estimations of Hartmann number and Marangoni parameter speed up the fluid velocity while the opposite behavior is noted for porosity factor. Further, the rate of heat transfer shows upward trend for the Hartmann number, Marangoni parameter, nanoparticle solid volume fraction, radiation parameter whereas a downward trend is followed by the Brinkman number and porosity factor. It is fascinating to take observe that contemporary analytical outcomes validate the superb convergence with previous investigation.

An arbitrary point is removed from a three-dimensional Euclidean space on a two-dimensional sphere. The new well-posed solvable boundary value problems for the corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator on the resulting punctured sphere are presented. To formulate the well-posed problems some properties of Green's function of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a two-dimensional sphere are previously studied in detail.

The results of a study to determine the minimum and maximum packing density of disks are presented. The minimum and maximum packing densities of disks of three different sizes on a torus are determined. The minimum density is obtained from the ratio of the sectors of the circle to all parts of the triangle on the torus. Heron’s formula is used to find the minimum and maximum density of triangular packing. A diagram of a triangle formed by combining the centers of three circles of three mutually tangent circles and the minimum triangular packing density is given.
