This study presents a nonlinear convection analysis of the flow of a dissipative Casson nanofluid through a porous medium in an inclined micro-annular channel. The results show that the nonlinear convection parameters decrease the nanoparticle volume fraction while increasing the energy and momentum distributions. Moreover, the volumetric flow rate is significantly increased by a wider porous medium, annular gap, higher Casson parameter, and nonlinear convection influence.
The nonlinear convection study on the flow of a dissipative Casson nanofluid through a porous medium of an inclined micro-annular channel is presented. The cylindrical surfaces were conditioned to temperature increase and velocity slip effects. A uniform magnetic field strength was applied perpendicular to the cylinder surface. The heat source and Darcy number influence are explored in the examination of the blood rheological model (Casson) through the annular cylinder. Appropriate dimensionless variables are imposed on the dimensional equations encompassing Casson nanofluid rheology through an annular microchannel. The resulting systems of equations were solved and computed numerically via Chebyshev-based collocation approach. Thus, the solutions of flow distributions, volumetric flow rate, and other flow characteristics were obtained. The result shows that both nonlinear convection parameters decrease the nanoparticle volume fraction, whereas they increase the energy and momentum distributions. Moreover, the volumetric flow rate is upsurged significantly by a wider porous medium, annular gap, a higher Casson parameter, and nonlinear convection influence.
