Significance of Coriolis force on the dynamics of water conveying copper and copper oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

Abstract The worth of the study is to explore how in the presence of Coriolis force, heat and mass transfer rates are optimized through water carrying nanoparticles of more than one type and how this force affects various factors of the flow to make them easy come easy go. The aim of the current study is to analyze the vital characteristic of flow in particular velocity, temperature, concentration, heat flux at the surface, and tangential stress for both nanofluid CuO-water and hybrid nanofluid Cu/Cuo-water over a stretching surface in presence of Coriolis force. Partial differential equations for flow, energy, and concentration are constructed and transformed into ordinary differential equations by using suitable transformations. A highly reliable numerical scheme namely midpoint integration accompanied by Richardson’s extrapolation is launched to solve these equations. A computer software MAPLE is taken in to account to tackle the problem. Results are expressed through graphs and tables. The major conclusions are that the Coriolis force declines the velocity boundary and heat transmission rate but increases the thermal boundary of nanofluid. The heat sink/source factor uplifts the thermal boundary while Schmidt number enhances the mass concentration.
