Physical prospective of induction of ferro-constituents in buoyancy-driven magneto-nanofluid under the impact of magnetic dipole

Abstract

Fulfilment of energy in various sectors of society is the demand of today’s world. Nowadays, researchers are working hard to propose such technologies to eradicate energy losses. Several improvements have been presented by the research community in this regard. After their struggle and hard work, researchers believed that this energy crisis could be overcome with the aid of fluids. So a procedure is executed to subject the fluid flows to a magnetic field. Furthermore, they also disclosed that induction of ferro-elements in a fluid under the existence of magnetic fields, known as ferrofluid, is a remarkable technique to overcome this huge social, economic, and technological problem. So the motto of the current literature is to investigate the elevated thermophysical features of viscous fluid by the inclusion of ferro-particles. To achieve said purpose, nickel zinc ferrite particles (NiZnFe2O4) are added to ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) in the presence of magnetic dipole. Flow is induced by a two-dimensional linearly elongated sheet. The governing momentum, energy, and thermal transport equations describing the thermomechanical aspects of ferrofluid is modelled in the form of partial differential expressions. Similar variables are needed to transfer the coupled partial expressions into ordinary differential system. Extensive computational interpretation of influencing parameters like ferromagnetic interaction parameter, viscous dissipation, and Curie temperature parameter on associated profiles is accomplished using the shooting method in collaboration with the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. It is found that the primary function of the magnetic dipole is to reduce the velocity within the boundary layer and it tends to enrich the thermal attitude. Diminishing of the momentum distribution of ferro-particles is established in the presence of a magnetic dipole. Inclusion of mixed convection decreases the momentum, whereas an increase is induced in the thermal profile. Decrease of convective heat transfer magnitude is observed in the presence of magnetic dipole.
