This article examines a wire coating technique that considers how viscoelastic Eyring–Powell fluid is studied with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, thermal transfer, and Joule heating effects. Temperature-dependent variable and flexible viscosity models are considered. The interface boundary layer equalities which describe flux and thermal convective phenomena are evaluated using a dominant numerical technique—the so-called Runge–Kutta 4th-order method. A permeable matrix which behaves like a dielectric to avoid heat dissipation is taken into account and is the distinguishing aspect of this article. The effect of thermal generation is also explained, as it controls power. The effects of various parameters, such as non-Newtonian fluid, magnetic field, permeability, and heat source/sink, on wire coating processes are investigated through graphs and explained in detail. For the sake of validity, numerical techniques are compared with a semi-numerical technique (HAM) and BVPh2, and an outstanding agreement is found.

This manuscript contains the modeling and analysis of an unsteady Carreau fluid with a magnetohydrodynamical effect over a stretching sheet. The governing momentum and energy equations admit a self-similarity solution. The system of ordinary differential equations has been solved analytically by the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and numerically by BVP4C (Matlab routine). An analysis of results shows that obtained analytical and numerical solutions are in excellent agreement with existing results in the literature. Furthermore, the effect of various fluid parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are studied graphically. It is observed that velocity increases in the stretching sheet for power law index n and the Weissenberg number $We$, whereas it decreases for magnetic parameter $M^2$. Tabular analysis on skin friction and heat transfer rate is also presented against pertinent fluid parameters.

Modern optical fiber required a double-layer resin coating on the glass fiber to provide protection from signal attenuation and mechanical damage. The most important plastics resin used in coating of fiber optics are plasticized polyvinyle (PVC), low/high density polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE), nylon, and polysulfone. Polymer flow during optical fiber coating in a pressure type coating die has been simulated under non-isothermal conditions. The flow dependent on the wire or fiber velocity, geometry of the die, and the viscosity of the polymer. The wet-on-wet coating process is an efficient process for two-layer coating on the fiber optics. In the present study, the constitutive equation of polymer flow satisfies viscoelastic Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) fluid, is used to characterize rheology of the polymer melt. Based on the assumption of the fully developed incompressible and laminar flow, the viscoelastic fluid model of two-immiscible resins-layers modeled for simplified-geometry of capillary-annulus where the glass fiber drawing inside the die at high speed. The equation describing the flow of the polymer melt inside the die was solved, analytically and numerically, by the Runge-Kutta method. The effect of physical characteristics in the problem has been discussed in detail through graphs by assigning numerical values for several parameters of interest. It is observed that velocity increases with increasing values of $\mathsf{\epsilon }{D}_1^2,\mathsf{\epsilon }{D}_2^2$ , $X_1$ , and $X_2$ . The volume flow rate increases with an increasing Deborah number. The thickness of coated fiber optic increases with increasing $\mathsf{\epsilon }{D}_1^2$ , $\mathsf{\epsilon }{D}_2^2$ , and $\mathsf{\delta }$ . Increase in Brinkman number and Deborah number enhances the rate of heat transfer. It is our first attempt to model PTT fluid as a coating material for double-layer optical fiber coating using the wet-on-wet coating process. At the end, the present study is also compared with the published work as a particular case, and good agreement is found.

This article examines a wire coating technique using a viscoelastic Eyring–Powell fluid in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, thermal transfer, and Joule heating effects are studied. Temperature-dependent, variable-viscosity models are used. Flexible-viscosity models which are temperature dependent are also considered. The interface of the thermal boundary layer which describe the flux and thermal convection phenomena, are evaluated by using a dominant numerical technique known as the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. In particular, this article takes into account the impact of a permeable matrix which behaves like a dielectric in order to avoid heat dissipation. The effect of thermal generation is also explained, since it controls power. The novel effects for the numerous parameters which affect the velocity and temperature profiles on the wire coating process are investigated through graphs explained in detail. These include non-Newtonian, hydromagnetic, permeability, and heat source/sink effects. For validation purposes, the numerical scheme is also compared with a semi-numerical technique HAM and BVPh2 software, and found a closed agreement with the numerical results.
