Analysis of a Squeezing Flow of a Casson Nanofluid between Two Parallel Disks in the Presence of a Variable Magnetic Field

Abstract

The present article deals with the MHD flow of a Casson nanofluid between two disks. The lower disk was fixed as well as permeable. The upper disk was not permeable, but it could move perpendicularly up and down toward the lower disk. Titanium dioxide was selected as nanoparticles and water as a base fluid. The governing higher-order nonlinear partial differential equations were transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The differential transform method (DTM) was applied to solve the nonlinear ODEs. The nature of the velocity profiles for the different values of the suction injection parameter, the squeeze number, the Casson fluid parameter, and the volume fraction parameter of the nanofluid are pictorially discussed in this paper. The coefficient of skin friction was tabulated for the novelty of the research. The comparison of the results was determined by the DTM and the numerical methods. The profile values were also compared with the literature work and found to agree. This comparative study proves the accuracy and efficiency of the method. It is concluded from this research that the flow properties behave oppositely for all parameters during suction and injection.

Analytical solutions for unsteady fractional maxwell nanofluid flow and mass transfer between two rigid spheres with periodic oscillations

“…Squeeze flow has been widely followed in the bioengineering, automotive engines, and food processing areas. In recent years, many related models have been developed [1][2][3][4][5] . Lang et al reported a theoretical study of the transient squeezing flow of Newtonian fluid between the cylindrical gaps [1] .…”

“…Lang et al reported a theoretical study of the transient squeezing flow of Newtonian fluid between the cylindrical gaps [1] . Taking non-Newtonian fluid into account, Gupta et al [2] analyzed the squeezing flow of Casson nanofluid between two parallel disks. Squeeze flow between two disks is a simple but basic case, while squeezed flow between two spheres is an extended use of the disks concept.…”

Impact of Moving Walls and Entropy Generation on Doubly Diffusive Mixed Convection of Casson Fluid in Two-Sided Driven Enclosure

“…The convective flow of non-Newtonian liquids in closed chambers has been investigated in several studies performed throughout the past decade [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Pop and Sheremet [ 21 ] studied the radiative and buoyant convection of CF in a bounded domain with the existence of viscous dissipation.…”
