Computational analysis of elastic deformation on radiative flow of trihybrid nanofluid over vertical cylinder with Dufour and Soret effects

Abstract

The present study investigates the importance of elastic deformation on the radiative flow of MHD trihybrid nanofluid over a vertical cylinder with mixed convection and Soret-Dufour effects. Significance of Marangoni convection is also taken into consideration. Diamond, T i O 2 and C o 3 O 4 nanoparticles are combined with propylene glycol ( C 3 H 8 O 2 ) , which serves as the base fluid. Using a suitable similarity variable, the controlling PDEs (partial differential equations) are transformed into nonlinear ODEs (ordinary differential equations). The resulting equations are then numerically solved using the Bvp4c method. With the accurate control of fluid flow and temperature distribution, this model may be used to optimize thermal management systems, including cooling systems and heat exchangers, by improving the efficiency of heat transfer. The controlled deformation and flow of nanofluids can result in enhanced material properties, and this is also useful in material science for the production of high-performance composites and coatings. Furthermore, this model can help with environmental engineering by enhancing the design of chemical processing or pollution removal systems, where Marangoni effects and mixed convection are important for heat and mass transmission. The thermal and concentration distributions decline as augment the elastic deformation parameter while enhance the rate of mass and heat transmission. The rate of heat and mass transfer enhance as augment the Marangoni convection parameter.
