Two-Phase Sakiadis Flow Of A Nanoliquid With Nonlinear Boussinesq Approximation And Brownian Motion Past A Vertical Plate: Koo-Kleinstreuer-Li Model

This paper investigates the Sakiadis flow of a Al2O3-H2O nanoliquid with consistently scattered dust particles over a vertical plate. To account for the effect of the Brownian movement, the Koo-Kleinstreuer-Li model is considered. In some thermal systems such as reactor safety areas, and solar collectors, combustion works from moderate to high temperature, making the relationship between the temperature and density nonlinear. To consider this temperature-dependent density, the nonlinear Boussinesq estimation is utilized. The present physical structure, which includes energy and momentum equations, is converted into a system of ordinary, coupled, and nonlinear differential conditions through the help of similarity transformations. By using the finite difference code, the subsequent equations have been numerically solved. The impact on the velocity and the thermal profiles of the nondimensional parameters is visualized through graphs. Both the Nusselt number and friction factor strengthen with a higher nonlinear thermal parameter in the case of nonlinear Boussinesq approximation compared to the linear Boussinesq case. Growing estimations of nonlinear thermal parameter deteriorate the thermal profile but it boosts the velocity profile of both liquid and dust phases.
