Computational Modeling of Radiative Magneto Maxwell Nanofluid: An Application to Improving the Efficiency of Energy Conversion and Storage Systems

Researchers in the field of heat transfer continually look for novel approaches to improve the efficiency of energy devices through heat transfer. Various working conditions and liquids have been tested to improve the heat transport method. The interface of such liquid into the prevailing system may be suitable for reducing capital costs, improving the working efficacy, and better designing the anticipated system. The utilization of Maxwell fluidMaxwell fluid combined with nanoparticle suspension has great potential in improving the efficiency of energy conversion and storage systems. There is a possibility that they could be utilized in complex cooling systems for power-producing facilities, which would increase the total energy efficiency. The current study examines the significance of heat sourceHeat source/sink and sinkHeat source/sink on the Maxwell nanoliquid stream past an oscillatory stretchy surface. Also, the impact of the magnetic field on liquid flow is considered. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are nondimensionalized with similarity variablesSimilarity variables. The obtained dimensionless equations are also solved using the finite difference methodFinite difference method (FDM). Graphical illustrations show the impact of numerous factors on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Results reveal that the upsurge in the heat source/sinkHeat source/sink parameter increases the thermal profile. Elevated heat source/sinkHeat source/sink parameter values can potentially modify the fluid's thermal relaxation characteristics, impacting the temperature's progressive evolution. As the values of the ratio of oscillating frequency to stretching rate increases, the thermal profile decreases because the fluid undergoes more intensive mixing when subjected to rapid oscillations, which promotes heat dispersion and decreases the fluid's temperature.
