Abstract

The present analysis is aimed at examining MHD micropolar nanofluid flow past a radially stretchable rotating disk with the Cattaneo-Christov non-Fourier heat and non-Fick mass flux model. To begin with, the model is developed in the form of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) for momentum, microrotation, thermal, and concentration with their boundary conditions. Employing suitable similarity transformation, the boundary layer micropolar nanofluid flows governing these PDEs are transformed into large systems of dimensionless coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These dimensionless ODEs are solved numerically by means of the spectral local linearization method (SLLM). The consequences of more noticeable involved parameters on different flow fields and engineering quantities of interest are thoroughly inspected, and the results are presented via graph plots and tables. The obtained results confirm that SLLM is a stable, accurate, convergent, and computationally very efficient method to solve a large coupled system of equations. The radial velocity grows while the tangential velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions turn down as the value of the radial stretching parameter improves, and hence, in practical applications, radial stretching of the disk is helpful to advance the cooling process of the rotating disk. The occurrence of microrotation viscosity in microrotation parameters () declines the radial velocity profile, and the kinetic energy of the fluid is reduced to some extent far away from the surface of the disk. The novelty of the study is the consideration of microscopic effects occurring from the micropolar fluid elements such as micromotion and couple stress, the effects of non-Fourier’s heat and non-Fick’s mass flux, and the effect of radial stretching disk on micropolar nanofluid flow, heat, and mass transfer.

1. Introduction

The study of fluid flow with heat conveyed over the rotating disk surface has been receiving astonishing attention from researchers as a result of its various applications in the area of manufacturing industry and engineering such as in the rotating machinery field, thermal power generating systems, computer storage devices, geothermal industry, heat and mass exchanger, gas turbine rotators, medical machinery, chemical processes, air cleaning apparatus, and electronic device. The flow of fluid due to a rotating disk was initially studied by [1], and following him, different valuable studies on the theme of fluid flow induced by the rotating disk have been conducted and published by different researchers up to these days. The flow of nanofluid via a revolving porous disk was investigated by [2], while entropy investigation in magnetohydrodynamic flow caused by a rotating disk was examined by [3]. Also, [4] analyzed the flow of nanofluid passed an inclined rotating disk, whereas [5] looked at the upshot of convective heat transfer in fluid flow as a result of a rotating disk. As well, the flow of Ag-water-based nanofluid due to a rotating disk in the course of uneven thickness was observed by [6]. In recent times, [7] analyzed CNT-ethylene glycol nanofluid flow caused by a stretchable rotating disk with the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. [8] investigated entropy generation, and slip persuades in magnetohydrodynamic flow through a permeable rotating disk. [9] observed the flow of the Maxwell nanofluid overstretching permeable rotating disk, whereas the flow of mixed convection viscoelastic hybrid nanofluid past a rotating disk was examined by [10]. Some of the latest significant works on fluid flow past a rotating disk are also found in [11–15].

In view of the features of shearing stress, fluids can be categorized into Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The Newtonian fluids are described by shearing stress which is linearly associated with the deformation rate, while in the non-Newtonian fluids, shearing stress is nonlinearly associated with the shearing strain rate. Some fluids such as polymeric suspension, industrial colloid fluids, capillaries in liquid crystals, blood flow in arteries, and dust in air fail to describe the characteristics of the Newtonian fluid [16]. In view of this limitation, a number of non-Newtonian fluid models have been suggested to describe their flow features. Among these non-Newtonian fluid models, micropolar fluid has been very active research for the last few decades due to the various applications in the prescribed theme of engineering and industries. Micropolar fluid is a postponement of randomly oriented particles in a viscous medium that show microscopic effects occurring from the fluid elements’ micromotions and local structure. Micropolar fluid can be described by spin inertia, micromotion, and couple stress, and it can hold stress moments and body moments [17]. In this fluid, the particles in the small volume element can spin about the centroid of the volume element. Physically, the micropolar fluid represents some anisotropic fluids and the fluids consisting of bar-like elements such as the flow of liquid crystals, polymeric fluid, colloidal fluids, bodily fluids, paints, and suspension fluids [18, 19].

Micropolar fluid theory and its mathematical modeling were initially introduced and formulated by [20]. Subsequently, [21] implemented boundary layer scaling to investigate the simple micropolar fluid theory near a rigid boundary. [22] extended his theory of micropolar fluid by just taking the effects of heat conduction and heat dissipation. A detailed assessment of micropolar fluids and their numerous uses in the subject of industrial and technology was given by [23]. Nowadays, the theory and its applications of the micropolar fluid have received immense attention from many scientists and researchers. For instance, [24] examined the flow of a micropolar fluid over an accelerated rotating disk. The characteristics of heat and mass transfer micropolar fluid from a curved stretching surface subject to the Lorentz forces were examined by [25]. [26] studied the nonlinear convection flow of a micropolar nanofluid due to a rotating disk with multiple slip flows. Also, the material behavior in the micropolar fluid of the Brownian motion over a stretchable disk with the application of thermophoretic forces was analyzed by [27]. Currently, unsteady micropolar hybrid nanofluid flow past a permeable stretching/shrinking vertical plate was examined by [28], and [29] considered boundary layer flow of micropolar nanofluid towards a permeable stretching sheet in the presence of porous medium with thermal radiation and viscous dissipation.

Magnetohydrodynamic is the theme of fluid flow in electrically conducting fluids with magnetic properties that affect fluid flow characteristics. While a magnetic field incidence in an electrically conducting fluid, a current is induced and polarizes the fluid. MHD boundary layer flow with heat transfer characteristics is more important in numerous technological processes and has received considerable interest due to its significance in practical applications such as plasma studies, MHD power generator designs, petroleum industries, design for cooling of nuclear reactors, and construction of heat exchangers and on the performance of various systems [30]. The incidence of MHD in an electrically conducting fluid creates an opposing force, through which the motions of fluid particles create resistance, which is termed the Lorentz or drag force. Considerably, the effects of this force enhance because of concentration and fluid temperature reducing the boundary layer separation. As a result, [31] analyzed the flow of mixed convection magnetohydrodynamic micropolar liquid caused by the nonlinear stretched sheet. [32] investigated entropy generation and consequences of binary chemical reaction on the MHD Darcy-Forchheimer Williamson nanofluid flow over a nonlinearly stretching surface. Three-dimensional MHD viscous flows under the influence of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation were examined by [33]. Also, [34] studied heat and mass transfer of magnetically driven 3rd grade (Cu-TiO₂/engine oil) nanofluid via a convectively heated surface. Some of the latest significant works on MHD nanofluid flow past different geometry are also found in [35–37].

The phenomenon of heat transfer is very significant because of its several applications in engineering, industrial, and biomedical applications. Fourier was the first scientist who stated the most conquering classical heat flux model in continuum mechanics. The core weakness of this model is the temperature field, and the entire system is directly exaggerated by initial disturbance. To keep away from this unrealistic feature, first, Cattaneo improved Fourier’s law by adding thermal relaxation time which tolerates the heat flux and [38] established the efficient heat transfer means by the derivative Cattaneo model, and then, it is called the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Presently, much interest has been shown in the study of the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. For example, [39] investigated the Casson nanofluid flow over stretching cylinder with variable thermal conductivity and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. The flow between two stretchable rotating disks with the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model was examined by [40]. Also, [41] analyzed the effect of the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model on MHD micropolar fluid flow past a nonlinearly inclined stretchable rotating disk. Recently, more inspiring work on thermal performance of nanofluid flow was also reported by [42–48].

The objective of this research is to examine magnetohydrodynamic micropolar nanofluid flow due to stretchable rotating disk with microrotation and non-Fourier’s heat and non-Fick’s mass flux models under the effects of slip and convective boundary conditions employing the spectral local linearization method (SLLM). The SLLM is rooted in decoupling and linearizing systems of equations via a combination of a univariate linearization method and a spectral collocation discretization. The key aspect of the SLLM algorithm is that the system of equations can be solved successively in a very computationally efficient way after a large coupled system of equations is broken into a sequence of smaller subsystems. [49] confirmed that as compared with other existing numerical methods, the SLLM is stable, accurate, convergent, and very efficient to solve some large systems of boundary value problems. The novelty of this study is the assessment of microscopic effects occurring from the micropolar fluid elements such as micromotion and couple stress, the effects of thermal and concentration relaxations due to non-Fourier’s heat and non-Fick’s mass flux, and the effects of radial stretching disk on micropolar fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer. The uniqueness of this study is not only to analyze the effects of these embedded parameters, but also, the numerical method used for the analysis is very recent and easy to develop, yet very accurate and convergent iterative algorithm for working with nonlinear systems of boundary layer flow problems [49, 50]. Consequently, employing SLLM, the results of micropolar fluid velocity, microrotation velocity, temperature and concentration fields, skin friction coefficient, couple stress, local heat, and mass transfer rate are specified and discussed with graphs and tables.

2. Mathematical Problem Description

2.1. Flow Model and Governing Equations

In this study, a steady, laminar flow of an electrically conducting and incompressible micropolar nanofluid flow over an infinite stretchable rotating disk with angular velocity about the -axis and radially stretching with stretching rate is used as given in Figure 1. Cylindrical-coordinate frame with velocity components and , the microrotation components are considered whereas the disk is fixed alongside . The flow is examined under the action of a magnetic field with strength which is applied normally to the fluid flow. Also, the effects of velocity slip and convective conditions are taken into consideration. At the wall of the surface, a constant value of temperature, denoted by and the ambient value of temperature, denoted by are assumed. To alter the temperature of the surface using convective heat transfer mode, heated fluid under the surface with temperature is also applied. Due to this, a heat transfer coefficient is offered, and the entire system of the surface of the rotating disk is heated for or cooled for . With this assumption, for heat transfer, the convective boundary condition is given by imposed on the surface of the rotating disk. Over the heated wall of the surface, concentration is considered to be , where is the solutal jump factor. Moreover, for heat and mass transfer modes, the Cattaneo-Christov non-Fourier heat and non-Fick mass flux models are considered.

Under these assumptions and in consideration of the standard boundary layer equations, the governing equations (continuity, momentum, microrotation, energy, and concentration) of the micropolar fluid flow past a rotating disk are given as follows (see Ref. [10, 17, 40]): with associated boundary conditions where , , and represent the material constants (angular viscosity coefficients); is the absolute viscosity; and are the density of the fluid, heat capacity of the fluid and heat capacity of nanoparticles, respectively; and , respectively, refer to the Brownian and thermophoretic diffusion coefficients; is the microinertia per unit mass; is electrical conductivity of the fluid; is the vortex viscosity (dynamic microrotation viscosity); is the thermal diffusivity of the fluid; and , respectively, refer to the thermal and concentration relaxation time; and and stand for momentum slip factor and angular slip factor, respectively. Moreover, and , respectively, stand for the Cattaneo-Christove non-Fourier heat and non-Fick mass flux models which are given as follows (see Ref. [7, 40]):

2.2. Similarity Transformation and Transformed Equations

The above governing equations are highly nonlinear PDEs that are intricate to solve analytically. Thus, to compute numerically, we use the following similarity transformation to transform Equations (1)–(9) into dimensionless nonlinear ODEs (see Ref. [7, 10, 17]): where is dimensionless similarity variable; is dimensionless stream function; and are the dimensionless velocities; , , and are dimensionless microrotations; and are, respectively, dimensionless temperature and concentration of nanofluid.

Utilizing Equation (13), the continuity Equation (1) is identically fulfilled, and the governing Equations (2)–(8) with boundary conditions are altered into the following dimensionless form:

and corresponding boundary condition Equation (9) takes the form where prime denotes differential with respect to ; is the magnetic parameter; , , , , , and are microrotation parameters; is the Brownian motion parameter; is the thermophoresis parameter; is the Prandtl number; is the Lewis number; is the Schmidt number; is the thermal relaxation parameter; is the concentration relaxation parameter; is the scaled stretching parameter; is the velocity slip parameter; is the microrotation slip parameter; is the thermal slip parameter; and is the solutal jump parameter.

2.3. Engineering Quantities of Interest

The physical quantities of importance in this study are the skin friction coefficient , couple stress , local Nusselt number , and local Sherwood number , and, respectively, defined as (see Ref. [17, 26]) where these parameters describe the local shear stress at the wall , wall couple stress , wall heat flux , and wall mass flux given as (see Ref. [17, 26])

Consequently, the dimensionless skin friction coefficient, couple stress coefficient, local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood number are, respectively, given by where is the material parameter and is the local Reynolds number defined by .

3. Numerical Method of Solution

The systems of coupled ODEs in Equations (15)–(21) are nonlinear and intricate to solve analytically. Thus, to compute such large coupled systems, numerical methods should be utilized. Owing to this, we employ a numerically simple, yet accurate, convergent, stable, and very efficient method known as the spectral local linearization method (SLLM) [49]. The SLLM is rooted in a decoupling and linearization system of equations employing a blend of a univariate linearization and a spectral collocation concretization. A full description of the development of SLLM for the systems of the nonlinear ordinary differential equation was given by [49]. To use the proposed SLLM iterative method, first, it is suitable to reduce the order of the governing Equation (15) by one setting ; then, considering that and are known at each iteration level, the local linearization iteration algorithm can be articulated as subject to boundary condition

where the terms and represent the current and previous iteration levels, respectively.

Equations (29)–(36) with boundary conditions Equation (39) are computed using the Chebyshev pseudospectral method. The unknown functions are given by the Chebyshev interpolating polynomials with the Gauss-Lobatto points as (see Ref. [53, 54]) where is the number of collocation points.

The semi-infinite interval is converted into using the linear transformation , where is large, yet a finite number is chosen to indicate the behavior of the flow features of the boundary condition value at infinity. Chebyshev differentiation matrix is applied to approximate the derivatives of the unknown functions (for details, refer [53]). Starting with suitable initial approximations, the iteration schemes are used iteratively to get the unknown functions at iteration levels. Finally, the system of Equations (29)–(36) can be solved as matrix phase by phase as where

, , , , , , and are column vectors of size , and , respectively, represents a diagonal matrix and identity matrix of size . Beginning with the suitable initial approximations given below, the iteration schemes are use diteratively to find and for (refer [39])

4. Results and Discussions

In this section, the numerical outcomes for the large systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations specified in Equations (15)–(21) with boundary stipulations Equation (24) are computed numerically for various values of more noticeable governing parameters via the efficient method called spectral local linearization method (SLLM), and the upshots are provided by means of tables and graphical depiction. For the entire output, unless it is specified, SLLM results presented in existing work are obtained with the default values of the ensuing parameters , and with node .

The convergence scrutiny is conceded for skin friction coefficients, couple stress, and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, and it is evident that the 12^th order of approximation is adequate for these physical quantities, as revealed in Table 1. Also, the accuracy of the SLLM is tartan by means of the grid-invariance test at the 12^th order iteration selecting mesh with nodes , and 200 for the skin friction coefficients, couple stress, and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, as presented in Table 2. Noticeably, the accuracy is not pretentious up to eight decimal points when mounting the number of nodes to more than , except it merely augments the compilation time. Moreover, the result of the local Nusselt number is matched up with the formerly available results reported in references [10, 51, 52] for similar parameters, and it offers a dreadfully good agreement, as reported in Table 3. Thus, the employed numerical scheme (SLLM) is stable, accurate, and fast converged, and we are very confident in using it.

The effect of magnetic field parameter on radial velocity profile is reported in Figure 2. It is revealed that the radial velocity profile is notably reduced with a growth of . It is noticeable that the magnetic field robustly depends on the Lorentz force, which is stronger for a larger magnetic field and the lesser magnetic field allied with the weaker Lorentz force. Consequently, intensification in the values of magnetic field parameter, the radial velocity profile, and its boundary layer thickness is considerably turned down. The temperature profile ascends as values of ascends, as reported in Figure 3. This is inconsequence of the fact that growth in the values of magnetic field parameters in the flow surface area entails growth up the Lorentz force in the boundary layer flow which generates the Lorentz heating in the energy equation, which is used as the additional heat source to the flow system. Also, Figure 4 exhibits the effects of magnetic field parameter on concentration profile . It is observed that the concentration profile with its concentration boundary layer thickness goes up with enlarging values of .

The impact of slip parameter on radial velocity profile is demonstrated in Figure 5. It points up that the radial velocity profile is diminution with mounting values of . Likewise, the velocity boundary thickness is thinning as the value of is getting higher. The rationale is that the rotating disk as a result of centrifugal force throws the fluid particles outward attached to it. As slip grows, a reduced amount of fluid particles will stick to the disk, and as a result, the small circumferential momentum of the rotating disk moves to the fluid, and finally, small fluid streams subsist in the axial direction. Figures 6–8, respectively, illustrate the radial velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles for the altered value of scaled stretching parameter , which is set as and measures a radial stretching rate. Figure 6 reveals that the radial velocity growths and momentum boundary layer grow to be thicker with higher values of . In fact, the radial stretching rate gets higher as the value of improves which accelerates the radially superficial flow. It is also observed that temperature and concentration profiles turn down, and the thermal and concentration boundary layers become thinner as the value of improves, as revealed in Figures 7 and 8. Thus, in realistic uses, radial stretching of the disk is obliging to advance the cooling process of the rotating disk.

In order to scrutinize the effects of microrotation parameters (), four different cases are considered by choosing subjectively as specified in Table 4. Figure 9 discloses that enhancement in values of microrotation parameters () results in enlargement of the extent of radial velocity profiles close to the surface of the disk, but it declines with enrichment of microrotation parameters outlying from the surface. Also, Figure 10 reveals the reverse manners observed for tangential velocity profiles with an increase in microrotation parameters. This points out that the occurrence of microrotation viscosity will decline the radial velocity, and the kinetic energy of the fluid is reduced to some extent far away from the surface. The effects of microrotation parameters () on microrotation velocities are noticeable in Figures 11 and 12. The outcomes confirm that the absolute value of radial microrotation velocity improves while the absolute value of tangential microrotation velocity reduces with the growth in microrotation parameters. Physically, the augment in angular viscosity coefficients obstructs the incidence of microrotation and weakens the creation of fluid vortices, leading to the steady development of normal fluids into micropolar fluids. On the whole, as microrotation parameters are the ratio of the microrotation viscosity and the angular viscosity coefficients, the angular viscosity coefficient is a constraint to microrotation velocity while the translational velocity is restricted by the microrotation viscosity. Also, from Figure 13, it is illustrated that growth in the values of microrotation slip parameter in boundary layer flow region tends to trim down the angular velocity profile.

Enrichment in the value of thermal relaxation parameter () illustrates diminish in temperature profile and thermal boundary layer thickness, as reported in Figure 14. To be precise, an enhancement in the thermal relaxation parameter causes a reduced amount of heat to be conveyed from the surface of the disk to the fluid. Thus, the heat conveys swiftly throughout the material, and temperature distribution is elevated for . Explicitly, the temperature distribution for classical Fourier’s law of heat conduction is more than that of the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Also, an improvement in the value of the concentration relaxation parameter () shows diminishes in behavior for concentration profile and its boundary layer thickness, as illustrated in Figure 15. Explicitly, a raise in concentration relaxation parameter results in lower mass diffusivity, and it produces a thinner concentration boundary layer. The effect of solutal jump parameter on concentration profiles is shown in Figure 16. Here, the concentration profile declines as the values of solutal jump parameter develop in the region of the boundary layer. Effects take place as a result of the decline in the kinematic viscosity of the fluid which turns down mass diffusivity that leads to a reduction in concentration boundary layer thicknesses.

The impact of magnetic field parameter , scaled stretching parameter , velocity slip parameter , microrotation parameters (), and microrotation slip parameters on normalized skin friction coefficient and wall couple stress are exhibited in Table 5. It observed that normalized skin friction coefficient improves with an escalation of the values of the magnetic field, scaled stretching, and microrotation slip parameters, while it reduces with more values of velocity slip and microrotation slip parameters. Also, it revealed that both wall couple stresses steadily diminish in absolute value with more values of the magnetic field, velocity slip, microrotation material, and microrotation slip parameters and both growth with a higher value of scaled stretching parameter. Table 6 reports that both the local heat and mass transfer reduce with added values of the magnetic field and Brownian motion parameters while both of them are steadily mounting with higher values of scaled stretching and microrotation parameters. As well, the local heat transfer rate and mass transfer rate, respectively, develop with more values of thermal slip parameter and solutal jump parameter.

5. Conclusions

In this study, the problem of magnetohydrodynamic micropolar nanofluid flow due to radially stretching rotating disk with the Cattaneo-Christov non-Fourier heat and non-Fick mass flux model has been inspected. The governing problem of PDEs is transformed into dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations via suitable similarity alterations and solved computationally by means of the spectral local linearization method (SLLM). It is confirmed that the SLLM is a stable, accurate, convergent, and computationally very efficient way to solve large coupled systems of equations. The consequences of more noticeable embedded parameters on micropolar fluid velocity, microrotation velocity, and temperature and concentration fields are graphically scrutinized and discussed thoroughly. Also, the normalized skin friction coefficient, wall couple stress, local heat, and mass transfer rate were computed and presented in tabular form.
