The recent work investigates the heat transfer attributes in the flow of engine oil which comprises of nano-particles such as Cu and TiO2. The performance of Copper and Titanium oxide is over looked in the flow of engine oil. The energy equation is amended by the features of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and heat generation. The mathematical model signifies the porosity, entropy generation and moving flat horizontal surface with the non-uniform stretching velocity. Quasi-linearization, which is a persuasive numerical technique to solve the complex coupled differential equations, is used to acquire the numerical solution of the problem. Flow and heat transfer aspects of Cu–TiO2in the flow are examined against the preeminent parameters. The flow is significantly affected by the thermal jump conditions and porous media. It is observed here that the temperature as well as heat transport rate is reduced with the effect of involved preeminent parameters. However, such fluids must be used with caution in applications where a control on the heat transfer is required. We may conclude that the recent study will provide assistance in thermal cooling systems such as engine and generator cooling, nuclear system cooling, aircraft refrigeration system, and so forth.

The mass and heat transfer magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows have a substantial use in heat exchangers, electromagnetic casting, X-rays, the cooling of nuclear reactors, mass transportation, magnetic drug treatment, energy systems, fiber coating, etc. The present work numerically explores the mass and heat transportation flow of MHD micropolar fluid with the consideration of a chemical reaction. The flow is taken between the walls of a permeable channel. The quasi-linearization technique is utilized to solve the complex dynamical coupled and nonlinear differential equations. The consequences of the preeminent parameters are portrayed via graphs and tables. A tabular and graphical comparison evidently reveals a correlation of our results with the existing ones. A strong deceleration is found in the concentration due to the effect of a chemical reaction. Furthermore, the impact of the magnetic field force is to devaluate the mass and heat transfer rates not only at the lower but at the upper channel walls, likewise.
Thermal performance of magnetically driven Casson nanofluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet under the influence of entropy, activation energy and convective boundary conditions was analyzed numerically, employing the quasi-linearization method (QLM). The collective behavior of thermophoretic diffusion and Brownian motion along with special effects of viscous dissipation, thermal radiation, heat generation and joule heating are considered in the energy equation for the flow problem. The addition of nanoparticles helps to stabilize the flowing of a nanofluid and maintain the symmetry of the flowing structure. The governing highly nonlinear coupled differential equations of velocity, temperature, concentration and entropy are simulated through an iterative scheme encoded with MATLAB programming language. The geometric model is, therefore, described using a symmetry technique. A comparative analysis of linear and nonlinear stretching in sheets is presented via graphs and tables regarding pertinent dimensionless parameters. It is worth noting that the Nusselt number and Sherwood number decrease at relatively higher rates with growing values of activation energy in the case of nonlinear stretching. Moreover, the entropy generation rate near the stretching surface decreases due to the strong effects of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion while it goes on improving far off the stretching surface.
