Significance of magnetic Reynolds number in a three-dimensional squeezing Darcy–Forchheimer hydromagnetic nanofluid thin-film flow between two rotating disks

Abstract

The remarkable aspects of carbon nanotubes like featherweight, durability, exceptional electrical and thermal conduction capabilities, and physicochemical stability make them desirous materials for electrochemical devices. Having such astonishing characteristics of nanotubes in mind our aspiration is to examine the squeezing three dimensional Darcy–Forchheimer hydromagnetic nanofluid thin-film flow amid two rotating disks with suspended multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) submerged into the base fluid water. The analysis is done by invoking partial slip effect at the boundary in attendance of autocatalytic reactions. The mathematical model consists of axial and azimuthal momentum and magnetic fields respectively. The tangential and axial velocity profiles and components of the magnetic field are examined numerically by employing the bvp4c method for varying magnetic, rotational, and squeezing Reynolds number. The torque effect near the upper and lower disks are studied critically using their graphical depiction. The values of the torque at the upper and lower disks are obtained for rotational and squeezed Reynolds numbers and are found in an excellent concurrence when compared with the existing literature. Numerically it is computed that the torque at the lower disk is higher in comparison to the upper disk for mounting estimates of the squeezed Reynolds number and the dimensionless parameter for magnetic force in an axial direction. From the graphical illustrations, it is learned that thermal profile declines for increasing values of the squeezed Reynolds number.

EMHD hybrid squeezing nanofluid flow with variable features and irreversibility analysis

“…Nanofluids are increasingly used in a wide range of community services applications, encompassing refrigerators [1][2][3], vehicles [4,5], solar cells [6,7], electrical gadget refrigeration, nuclear power stations [8][9][10], and heat exchangers [11]. Choi and Eastman [12] pioneered the notion of nanofluids, paving the way for disciple researchers [13][14][15][16][17]. Turcu et al [18] and Jana et al [19] have proposed the concept of a 'hybrid nanofluid,' which would improve the heattransmitting capacities of nanofluids.…”
