Hydrothermal analysis on MHD squeezing nanofluid flow in parallel plates by analytical method
Abstract Background In this paper, the heat and mass transfer of MHD nanofluid squeezing flow between two parallel plates are investigated. In squeezing flows, a material is compressed between two parallel plates and then squeezed out radially. The significance of this study is the hydrothermal inve...

| description | Abstract Background In this paper, the heat and mass transfer of MHD nanofluid squeezing flow between two parallel plates are investigated. In squeezing flows, a material is compressed between two parallel plates and then squeezed out radially. The significance of this study is the hydrothermal investigation of MHD nanofluid during squeezing flow. The affecting parameters on the flow and heat transfer are Brownian motion, Thermophoresis parameter, Squeezing parameter and the magnetic field. Methods By applying the proper similarity parameters, the governing equations of the problem are converted to nondimensional forms and are solved analytically using the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and the Collocation Method (CM). Moreover, the analytical solution is compared with numerical Finite Element Method (FEM) and a good agreement is obtained. Results The results indicated that increasing the Brownian motion parameter causes an increase in the temperature profile, while an inverse treatment is observed for the concentration profile. Also, it was found that enhancing the thermophoresis parameter results in decreasing the temperature profile and augmenting the concentration profile. Conclusions Effects of active parameters have been considered for the flow, heat and mass transfer. The results indicated that temperature boundary layer thickness will increases by augmentation of Brownian motion parameter and Thermophoresis parameter, while it decreases by raising the other active parameters. |
