Viscous flow over a stretching (shrinking) and porous cylinder of non-uniform radius

Abstract

The classical models of viscous flows and heat transfer are reformulated in this article. The physical problem describes flow and heat transfer over a stretching (shrinking) and porous cylinder of non-uniform radius. The mathematical model is presented in the form of new equations and dimensionless parameters by means of reframing techniques. A porous and heated cylinder of a non-uniform diameter is stretched (shrunk) with variable stretching (shrinking) velocities. The governing equations and their physical geometrical perspectives are summarized into simplest boundary value ordinary differential equations. A set of unseen, generalized, and convenient transformations are used to solve the complex problem. The current formulation accumulates all the previous models of axisymmetric flow and heat transfer toward stretching (shrinking) and porous cylinder presented in the literature and prevails over all such models. The current model can be easily transformed into classical simulations for particular values of the parameters. The problem is solved numerically and the results were compared with the benchmark solutions. Velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number profiles are plotted and analyzed for different values of the parameters. Moreover, coupling effects of all parameters are seen on flow and heat transfer characteristics and new results are explored and discussed.

Heat transfer analysis of buoyancy opposing radiated flow of alumina nanoparticles scattered in water-based fluid past a vertical cylinder

“…Majeed et al 48 explored the flow with heat transport past a stretchable cylinder by assuming partial slip and heat-flux conditions and utilized the Chebyshev spectral Newton iterative method to find the iterative solution. The viscous flow past a stretchable (shrinkable) permeable cylinder having an irregular radius was inspected by Ali et al 49 . Reddy et al 50 examined the impact of entropy on the radiative transient flow with mass and heat transfer induced by a couple-stress fluid across a vertical cylinder with magnetic effect.…”

“…Thus, researchers turned to inspect such flows under different physical conditions. Therefore, viscose flow and heat transfer model over a porous nonuniform radial cylinder were studied in Ali et al 1 and graphically discussed the skin friction coefficient, velocity, temperature, and Nusselt number for different values of parameters. In the continuation, Chamkha et al 2 performed research work on convective boundary layer flow over a vertical cylinder and analyzed Sherwood number and Nusselt number.…”

Influence of carbon nanotube suspensions on Casson fluid flow over a permeable shrinking membrane: an analytical approach

“…Multiple exact solutions of a water-based graphene nanofluid created by porous shrinking or stretching a sheet with a heat sink or source are given by Aly 33 , while Khan et al 34 have obtained the closed-form exact analytical solution for the axisymmetric hybrid nanofluid on a permeable non-linear radially shrinking/stretching sheet. Different model geometries include the investigation of Casson fluid flows past a nonlinear permeable stretching cylinder on a porous medium 35 , a cylinder of non-uniform radius 36 , two permeable spheres 37 , and a rotating disk 38 .…”
