Micropolar nanofluid flow with thermal radiation allowance across a resistive porous material between the channel walls
摘要
Micropolar and nanofluids have garnered significant attention due to their superior thermal and mass transfer properties, as well as their extensive applications in the industrial and engineering sectors. This article takes into account the micropolar nanofluids under parallel plates' rotation and investigates the impact of thermal radiation, which remarkably boosts and analyses the thermal efficiency of copper (Cu) nanoparticles. Additionally, it examines how nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic field strength, and other parameters affect the hydromagnetic flow using the bvp4c methodology, with a focus on velocity, microrotation, thermal, and concentration profiles. The reliability is proved by the validation of the results against the exact solutions and precision of the adopted method, demonstrate its possible implementation with regard to complicated engineering systems, including porous media and sophisticated methods of heat transfer. The study emphasizes the nanofluid’s improved heat and mass transfer capabilities over non-nanoparticle fluids and computes the Skin friction, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers.
