In this work, the influence of entropy generation analysis for an electrically conducting Casson fluid flow with convective boundary conditions has been numerically studied. The governing equations are analyzed numerically using weighted residual methods. Subsequently, the residuals were minimized using two different approaches of weighted residual...

The hydrodynamic by MHD driving force and ionic transport characteristics of an electrolytic solution in a small-scale electrodialysis process are taken into account in this new approach. A three-Dimensional modeling and simulation of coupling Magnetohydrodynamic-Ionic transport are carried out. The numerical values and the effects of applied volta...

The lungs are the pair of organs where very complex internal microstructure provides gas exchange as the vital process of living organisms. This exchange in humans occurs within only 300g of tissue but on the surface of millions of alveoli with the total surface area of around 130m2. The extremely complex microstructure consists of micron-size inte...

In the present paper, M05-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory was used to investigate antiradical activity of cyanidin towards highly damaging radical species (.OH, .OCH3, .OOH and .OOCH3). The applied method successfully reproduces the values of reaction enthalpies (ΔHBDE, ΔHIP, and ΔHPA). These parameters are important to determine ...

In this paper, the effects of chemical reaction on unsteady MHD flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable temperature and constant mass diffusion in the presence of Hall current have been presented. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations of t...

A Quick Adaptive Galerkin Finite Volume (QAGFV) solution of Cauchy momentum equations for plane elastic problems is presented in this research. A new damping coefficient is introduced to preserve the efficiency of the iterative pseudo-explicit solution procedure. It is shown that the numerical oscillations are not only effectively damped by the pro...

Improvement of the airfoil NACA 4415 aerodynamic performances by flow control using a passive technique was achieved in this study. Gothic-shaped vortex generators were added at the profile upper surface. Vortex Generators (VG) were used to avoid boundary layer separation at the profile trailing edge, thus reducing the drag force and improving aero...

The present investigation represents a study on the effects of heat and mass transfer flow in the presence of couple stress coefficient, heat source parameter, radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number using nanofluids over a stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differentia...
