The study established a numerical simulation of kerosene oil as a host Casson fluid flowing around a cylindrical shape, considering various parameter ranges. The findings show that an increase in the mixed convection parameter and volume fraction of ultrafine particles can enhance the rate of energy transport, skin friction, and velocity distribution.
This work aimed to establish a numerical simulation of kerosene oil as a host Casson fluid flowing around a cylindrical shape with an applied magnetic field crossing through it, under constant wall temperature boundary conditions. Nanoparticles of zinc, aluminum, and titanium oxides were included to reinforce its thermal characteristics. The governing model was established based on the Tiwari and Das model. Graphical and numerical results for correlated physical quantities were gained through the Keller Box method, with the assistance of MATLAB software (9.2). The combined convection (lambda > 0 & lambda < 0), magnetic parameter (M > 0), Casson parameter (beta > 0), and nanosolid volume fraction (0.1 <= chi <= 0.2) were the parameter ranges considered in this study. According to the current findings, the growth of mixed convection parameter or volume fraction of ultrafine particles contributes to boosting the rate of energy transport, skin friction, and velocity distribution. Zinc oxide-kerosene oil has the highest velocity and temperature, whatever the parameters influencing it.
