Thermo-solutal Marangoni convective Darcy-Forchheimer bio-hybrid nanofluid flow over a permeable disk with activation energy: Analysis of interfacial nanolayer thickness
Annotatsiya
Abstract The Marangoni convective phenomena have a unique impact on industries and medical tools. These phenomena are more prominent in the presence of dual nanoparticles (NPs) over base fluids such as blood that are surrounded by a thin interfacial nanolayer, an important feature to control the physical and thermal properties of the NP. In this problem, we have analysed the thermo-solutal Marangoni convective Darcy-Forchheimer flow of nanomaterials with the impact of the interfacial nanolayer. The results of the system of an exponential heat source, non-linear radiation, joule heating, and activation energy are discussed. An appropriate transition is applied to rationalise the substantially paired and nonlinear governing equations and then processed by the Galerkin finite element method (G-FEM). The impression of different governing parameters on the governing systems in conjunction with entropy and Bejan number is demonstrated through graphical and tabular form. Graphs are drawn with an evaluation of general and hybrid nanofluids (HNFs) and different nanolayer thicknesses of NPs. Activation energy and chemical reaction parameters restrict the Sherwood number, and the same is observed for the Nusselt number with an increase in the Brinkman and Eckert numbers. The thickness of the interfacial nanolayer of the NPs restricts the entropy generation of the system, while the entropy is higher for the HNF than the nanofluid. An opposite feature was observed for the Bejan number.
