RESUMEN

Entropy generation is a concept that is primarily associated with thermodynamics and engineering, and it plays a crucial role in understanding and optimizing various processes and systems. Applications of entropy generation can be seen in turbo machinery, reactors, chillers, desert coolers, vehicle engines, air conditioners, heat transfer devices and combustion. Due to industrial applications entropy generation has gained attention of researchers. Owing such applications, current communication aims to model and analyzed the irreversibility in Sutterby nanoliquid flow by stretched cylinder. Momentum equation is reported by considering porosity, Darcy Forchheimer and magnetic field. While in energy equation radiation and Joule heating effects are accounted. Activation energy impact is accounted in the modeling of concentration equation. Thermodynamics second law is utilized for physical description of irreversibility analysis. Through similarity transformations dimensional equations representing flow are transformed to dimensionless ones. Numerical solution for ordinary system is obtained via Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme in Mathematica platform through NDsolve code. Influence of prominent variables on velocity, entropy, temperature, Bejan number and concentration are graphically analyzed. Coefficient of skin friction, gradient of temperature and Sherwood number are numerically analyzed. The obtained results show that velocity field decreases through higher porosity and Forchheimer variables. Velocity and temperature curves shows an opposite trend versus magnetic parameter. A decay in concentration distribution is noticed through larger Schmidt number. Entropy generation amplifies against magnetic parameter and Brinkman number.

RESUMEN

The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has put the world on lockdown for the first time in decades. This has wreaked havoc on the global economy, put additional burden on local and global public health resources, and, most importantly, jeopardised human health. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and the CRISPR associated (Cas) protein (CRISPR/Cas) was identified to have structures in E. coli. The most modern of these systems is CRISPR/Cas. Editing the genomes of plants and animals took several years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars until the CRISPR approach was discovered in 2012. As a result, CRISPR/Cas has piqued the scientific community's attention, particularly for disease diagnosis and treatment, because it is faster, less expensive, and more precise than previous genome editing technologies. Data from gene mutations in specific patients gathered using CRISPR/Cas can aid in the identification of the best treatment strategy for each patient, as well as other research domains such as coronavirus replication in cell culture, such as SARS-CoV2. The implications of the most prevalent driver mutations, on the other hand, are often unknown, making treatment interpretation difficult. For detecting a wide range of target genes, the CRISPR/Cas categories provide highly sensitive and selective tools. Genome-wide association studies are a relatively new strategy to discovering genes involved in human disease when it comes to the next steps in genomic research. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas provides a method for modifying non-coding portions of the genome, which will help advance whole genome libraries by speeding up the analysis of these poorly defined parts of the genome.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Chronic stage renal disease is a severe disease of the kidney which affects people globally. According to the global burden of diseases in 2010, this disease has caused more deaths worldwide and due to the high death rate, the ESRD (end-stage renal disease) is now ranked up from 27th to 18th range in the list. METHODOLOGY: Dialysis samples were collected from the Haripur city and surrounding areas. Samples were inoculated on different selective media for bacterial growth. In addition, different biochemical tests were also performed for identification, where as the resistance genes were identified through a polymerase chain reaction. RESULT: Out of the total 100 dialysis patient's blood samples, only 17 showed the presence of gram-positive bacteria i.e., Staphylococcus aureus while two shown the presence of gram-negative bacteria i.e., Klebsiella pneumoniaeee and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. While in molecular identification two antibiotic resistance genes muc and mecA belong to the staphylococcus strain shown their presence. CONCLUSION: A high infection rate has been observed in fistula-based hemodialysis (17(77.27%)) as compares to catheter-based hemodialysis (5(22.3%) with no significant difference of incidence between the groups (p > 0.05).

RESUMEN

As part of the growing evolution in nanotechnology and thermal sciences, nanoparticles are considered as an alternative solution for the energy depletion due to their ultra-high thermal effectives. Nanofluids reflect inclusive and broad-spectrum significances in engineering, industrial and bio-engineering like power plants, energy source, air conditioning systems, surface coatings, evaporators, power consumptions, nano-medicine, cancer treatment, etc. The present study describes the bio-convective peristaltic flow of a third-grade nanofluid in a tapered asymmetric channel. Basic conservation laws of mass, momentum, energy, and concentration as well as the microorganism diffusion equation are utilized to model the problem. The simplified form of the modeled expressions is accounted with long wavelength assumptions. For solving the resulting coupled and nonlinear equations, a well-known numerical method implicit finite difference scheme has been utilized. The graphical results describe the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, and the density of motile microorganisms at the nanoscale. Furthermore, microorganism concentration lines are analyzed.

RESUMEN

MOTIVATIONS: Now-a-days in medical science, the transport study of biological fluids through non-uniform vessels are going to increase due to their close relation to the reality. Motivated through such type of complex transportation, the current study is presented of cilia hydro-dynamics of an aqueous electrolytic viscous fluid through a non-uniform channel under an applied axial electric field. Mathematical Formulations: Because of the complexity shape and nature of flow channel, we have used curvilinear coordinates in the derivation of continuity and momentum equationsin a fixed frame of reference. A linear transformation is used to renovate the flow system of equations from fixed (laboratory) to moving (wave) frame. For further simplification, the dimensionless variables are introduced to make the flow system of equations into the dimensionless form and at last convert these equations in term of stream function by using the mathematical terminologies of streamlines. The whole analysis is performed under (low Reynolds number) creeping phenomena and long wavelength approximation, respectively. Additionally, small ionic Peclet number and Debye-Huckel linearization are used to simplify the Nernst-Planck and Poisson-Boltzmann equations. The BVP4C technique is used to obtain the numerical solution for velocity distribution, pressure gradient, pressure rise and stream function through MATLAB. MAIN OUTCOMES: The amplitude of velocity distribution is increased (decreased) at larger values of non-uniform parameter (cilia length). The non-uniform parameter played a vital role not only in the enhancement of circulation at the upper half of the channel but also the length of bolus increased. Results of straight channel are gained for larger value of the dimensionless radius of curvature parameter as well as cilia length.

RESUMEN

This research article proposes an improved Fourier law of heat conduction (Cattaneo-Christov) in presence of heat source/sink. The heat transport characteristics are modeled for mixed convective stagnation point flow by a Riga plate. Flow is generated due to linear stretching velocity. The partial differential system is changed to ordinary differential system through implementing appropriate transformations. Series solutions are developed through semi-analytical method called as homotopy analysis method. Present research article is related to the improved Fourier law of heat conduction (Cattaneo-Christov) over a linear stretchable surface of Riga plate when fluid saturates porous space. The main outcomes of present communication are summarized as: (i) velocity of material particles decreases subject to larger inverse Darcy-number while it enhances via velocity ratio and magnetic parameters (ii) temperature distribution as well as layer thickness enhance for higher estimations of Eckert number and heat source parameter while it decays against Prandtl number (iii) skin friction coefficient decreases through higher values of inverse Darcy number and mixed convection parameter.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: There are frequent strategies to enhance the efficiency of heat transport. Some strategies are employed of extended surfaces, utilization of vibration to the heat transport surfaces, and use of small scale channels. Efficiency of heat transport can also be enhanced by intensifying the thermal conductivity of working material. Engine oil, water and ethylene glycol are frequently utilized for heat transport liquids having comparatively low thermal conductivities then solids. Thermal conductivity of solids can be employed to improve the thermal conductivity of fluid through addition of nano or micro type solid particles to that liquid. The viability of usage of such materials with sizes 2 µm or millimeters was recently scrutinized by numerous engineers and analyst. In this communication, we aim to analyze flow of non-Newtonian nanomaterial (Prandtl-Eyring nanofluid). Features of nanofluid discussed with Brownian and thermophoresis diffusion. Entropy generation, thermal radiation, dissipation, activation energy, Joule heating and radiative heat flux is discussed. METHOD: Homotopic convergent solutions are developed by using OHAM. Governing nonlinear equations are developed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Fluid variable has opposite behavior on temperature and velocity. For larger thermophoresis parameter, temperature and concentration are increased. Concentration is reduced by improving Brownian motion parameter while temperature increases. Entropy generation improves with larger fluid parameter and Brinkman number, while Bejan number has opposite effect.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: CNTs (Carbon nanotubes) being allotropes of carbon, made of graphene and diameters of single and multi-walls carbon nanotubes are typically 0.8 to 2 nm and 5 to 20 mn, although diameter of MWCNTs can exceed 100 nm. Carbon nanotubes lengths range from less than 100 nm to 0.5 m. Their impressive structural, electronic and mechanical attributes subject to their small size and mass, their high electrical and thermal conductivities, and their strong mechanical potency. CNTs based materials are successfully applied in medicine and pharmacy subject to their huge surface area that is proficient of conjugating or adsorbing with a wide variety of genes, drugs, antibodies, vaccines and biosensors etc. Therefore, we have presented a theoretical study about mathematical modeling of CNTs based viscous material flow between two rotating disks. Both types of nanotubes i.e., SWCNTs and MWCNTs are considered. Xue model is used for the mathematical modeling. Fluid flow is due to rotating disks. Main focus here is given to probable error and statistical declaration. Entropy is calculated for both single and multi-walls nanotubes. METHOD: Nonlinear PDEs are first converted into ODEs and then computed for homotopy convergent solutions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Statistical declaration and probable error for skin friction and Nusselt number are numerically computed and discussed through Tables. From obtained outcomes it is concluded that magnitude of skin friction increases at both disks surface for higher values of Reynolds number, lower stretching parameter and porosity parameter while it decays for both of disks versus larger rotation parameter. Nusselt number or heat transfer rate also enhances at both disks in the presence of radiation and Reynolds number while it decays against Eckert number.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In last few decades, a new class of working materials which comprises from two solid materials dispersed in a continuous phase liquid was established and deeply scrutinized. These materials are called hybrid nanomaterials. This research article aims to investigate entropy optimization in hybrid nanomaterial flow through a rotating peristaltic channel walls. Flow behavior is analyzed between the channels which is caused by propagation of sinusoidal waves. Viscosity of fluid is considered variable instead of constant characteristics. Fluid saturates through porous attributes of channel walls. Nonliear radiative flux and convective condition are considered. Slip conditions are imposed at the boundary of walls. METHODS: Built-in-Shooting technique is employed to obtain the numerical outcomes for the considered flow problem. RESULTS: Impacts of sundry variables on the entropy, temperature and velocity are scrutinized through different graphs. Numerical result presents that the axial velocity escalates with the inclusion of hybrid nanomaterial. The temperature of fluid enhances through higher estimations of hybrid nanoparticles. CONCLUSIONS: Here the flow behavior is discussed between the channels which are caused by propagation of sinusoidal waves with speed c. Entropy generation rate is minimum for variable viscosity and maximum for hybrid nanoparticles. Hybrid nanoparticles increase the temperature of fluid. Bejan number presents the similar impact for variable viscosity and thermal slip parameters. Temperature field decays through higher values of Brinkman number.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Nanomaterials have higher inspiration in the growth of pioneering heat transportation fluids and good efforts were made in this field during the recent year. Nowadays numerous scientists and researchers have focused their struggle on nanomaterials study. Nanoliquids have advanced properties which make them efficient in various applications including engine cooling, hybrid-power engine, pharmaceutical processes, refrigerator and vehicle thermal management etc. Therefore such implication in mind the entropy optimization in magnetohydrodynamic nanomaterials (TiO2 - GO) flow between two stretchable rotating disks is discussed here. Energy expression subject to Joule heating, thermal radiation and viscous dissipation is modeled. Entropy optimization rate is based upon thermodynamic second law. Here titanium dioxide (TiO2) and graphene oxide (GO) and water (H2O) are used as nanoliquids. Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions have been accounted. METHODS: Transformation process reduced nonlinear PDE's to ordinary differential systems. Formulated systems are solved due to implementation of Newton built in shooting method. RESULTS: Salient behavior of influential variables on velocity, entropy optimization, temperature, Bejan number and concentration graphically illustrated for (TiO2 and GO). Surface drag force and gradient of temperature ((Cf1, Cf2) and (Nux1, Nux2)) are numerically computed for various interesting parameters at lower and upper disks respectively. Axial and radial velocities components boost up for larger (Re) but opposite is hold for tangential velocity. Entropy optimization and temperature are increased for higher Brinkman number (Br). CONCLUSIONS: A significant augmentation occurs in radial and axial velocities (f'(ξ) and f(ξ)) versus stretching parameter, while opposite is hold for tangential velocity (g(ξ)). For larger values of Reynold and Brinkman numbers the temperature increases. Temperature and entropy optimization have opposite effect for radiation parameter. Concentration has similar results for Reynold and Schmidt numbers. Entropy optimization and Bejan number for radiation parameter have similar outcome. Bejan number decays for Brinkman number.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Newtonian fluids can be categorized by a single coefficient of viscosity for specific temperature. This viscosity will change with temperature; it doesn't change with strain rate. Just a small group of liquids show such steady consistency. A fluid whose viscosity changes subject to relative flow velocity is called non-Newtonian liquids. Here we have summarized a result for the flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid over a porous stretchable surface. Mixed convection is considered. Modeling of energy expression is performed subject to Soret and Dufour effects. METHOD: The nonlinear PDE's are changed to ODE's through suitable transformations and then solved for numerical solutions via Built-in shooting method (bvp4c). RESULTS: Variation of important variables is studied on the concentration, temperature and velocity fields. Tabular representation for study of skin friction and heat transfer rate is presented for important variables. Our results show that velocity decreases versus higher estimations of Weissenberg number, porosity parameter, buoyancy ratio and mixed convection parameter. Temperature decays via Weissenberg number and porosity parameter. Increase in concentration is noticed through higher Soret number and porosity parameter. Skin friction and heat transfer rate (Nusselt number) boosts versus larger porosity parameter and Prandtl number respectively while it decays against Weissenberg number and Dufour and Eckert number.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Study of nanofluids has been enormously increased for the last couple of years. Regardless of some irregularity in the revealed outcomes and lacking consistency, yet the mechanisms of heat transport have been emerged as highly efficient. In the continuation of nanomaterials research, the investigators and analyst have also attempted to utilize hybrid nanomaterial recently, which is designed by suspending unique nanomaterials (nanoparticles) either in mixture or composite structure. The theory of hybrid nanofluids can be further modified for heat transport and pressure drop attributes by trade-off between disadvantages and advantages of individual suspension, ascribed to great aspect ratio, better thermal system and synergistic impact of nanomaterials. Therefore, we have conducted a theoretical attempt on MHD entropy optimized viscous hybrid nanomaterial flow between two parallel plates. The boundaries of plates are fixed with velocity and thermal slip aspects. Chemical reaction with novel aspect of activation energy is accounted. Furthermore, thermal radiation, heat generation and Joule heating are examined. METHOD: The modeled system is numerically simulated through bvp4c technique. RESULTS: Behaviors of pertinent variables on the velocity, skin friction, temperature, Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and concentration are presented and discussed through different graphs. Temperature field decays against higher values of Eckert number and thermal slip variable. CONCLUSIONS: It is noticed that velocity of material particles increase against larger estimations of rotation parameter. Temperature declines versus larger Prandtl and Eckert numbers. Concentration decays when an enhancement is occurred in the Lewis number. Magnitude of surface drag force upsurges for rising values of Prandtl number and radiation parameter. Furthermore, magnitude of Nusselt number enhances through larger Eckert number, magnetic number and Prandtl number.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This paper examines the flow behavior of micropolar liquid over a curved surface. MHD fluid is considered. The surface inducing the fluid motion has a prescribed temperature different from the ambient fluid moreover the heat transfer mechanism is investigated. Curvilinear coordinates are used for the mathematical formulation of the flow equation. Similarity variables are derived and are utilized to alter the governing expressions for the flow of momentum and heat transfer characteristic. METHOD: The resulting non-linear ODEs are resolved systematically by two numerically approaches namely; the Keller box method and the shooting method. RESULTS: The numerical results for the temperature and velocity fields has been presented through tables and graphs against the independent parameters and non-dimensional numbers i.e., material parameter, power law index, radius of curvature, magnetic parameter, Prandtl and Eckert numbers, skin friction (drag force) and Nusselt number. Physical explanation of the graph presented is given to understand the performance of fluid flow and heat transport phenomena in different emerging situation. CONCLUSION: The main outcomes in the presence of various flow variables on the skin friction velocity, Nusselt number, temperature are highlighted via graphical sketch and Tables. Velocity field displays a decreasing trend with magnetic parameter, power law index and radius of curvature of the stretching velocity whereas, opposite behavior observed for the material parameter. Near the surface curvature and magnetic parameter shows an enhancement in microrotation profile whereas, it shows reverse behavior when it is far away. Material parameter increases for large values of microrotation profile on the other hand power-law index decreases for large values. For higher values magnetic parameter, radius of curvature and Eckert number temperature profile increases. But temperature reduces subject to material parameter and Prandtl number.

RESUMEN

In this article we focused on the mixed convection flow of SWCNT-Water and MWCNT-Water over a stretchable permeable sheet. The nanofluid occupied porous medium. Darcy's law is used to characterize porous medium. The impact of viscous dissipation is considered. Transformation procedure is adopted to transform the governing PDE's system into dimensionless form. In order to solve the dimensionless PDE's system we used numerical method known as Finite difference method. Effects of flow variables i.e porosity parameter, suction parameter, Grashof number and Reynolds number on velocity, skin friction, temperature and Nusselt number are described graphically. The obtained results shows that velocity is dominant in SWCNT-Water over MWCNT-Water. Temperature is dominant in MWCNT-Water over SWCNT-Water.

MHD liquid of Carreau fluid is considered. Flow is generated due to stretching and shrinking aspects. The energy equation is developed in the presence of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux, where thermal relaxation time plays an important role in the heat transport. METHOD: The appropriate transformations are employed to solve a differential system via shooting method (bvp4c). RESULTS: The velocity, skin friction coefficient, temperature and Nusselt number are discussed versus different pertinent flow variable graphically. Over results indicate that the velocity distribution decreases against larger magnetic power law index and Weissenberg number. Temperature field diminishes via Prandtl number and thermal relaxation variable. Engineering quantities are discussed graphically. Magnitude of skin friction or velocity gradient upsurges versus magnetic parameter. Moreover, temperature gradient or Nusselt number shows the increasing impact via Prandtl number. Main observations of the considered flow problem are listed as concluding remarks.

Nonlinear PDE's are reduced to ordinary equation by using suitable transformations. METHOD: For convergent series solution the given system is solved by the implementation of the homotopic analysis technique (HAM). RESULTS: Influences of different flow controlling variables on the velocity, microorganisms, concentration and temperature are examined through graphs. Surface drag force, density number, Sherwood number and gradient of temperature are examined versus different flow parameters through graphs. For larger thixotropic fluid parameters the velocity field boosts up. For rising values of Hartmann number the velocity and temperature have opposite behaviors.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: CNTs are categorized subject to their structures i.e., SWCNTs (single wall nanotubes), DWCNTs (double wall nanotubes) and MWCNTs (multi-wall nanotubes). The various structures have distinct characteristics that make the nanotubes suitable for various physical applications. It is due their unique electrical, mechanical and thermal attributes CNTs present thrilling opportunities for mechanical engineering, industrial, scientific research and commercial applications. There is fruitful potential for carbon nanotubes in the composites business and industry. Today, CNTs find utilization in frequent various products, and analyst continue to explore new applications. Currently applications comprise wind turbines, bicycle components, scanning probe microscopes, flat panel displays, marine paints, sensing devices, electronics, batteries with longer lifetime and electrical circuitry etc. Such applications in mind, entropy optimized dissipative CNTs based flow of nanomaterial by a stretched surface. Flow is caused due to stretching phenomenon and studied in 3D coordinates. Both types of CNTs are studied i.e., SWCNTs and MWCNTs. CNTs are considered for nanoparticles and water for continuous phase fluid. Special consideration is given to the analysis of statistical declaration and probable error for skin friction and Nusselt number. Furthermore, entropy rate is calculated. Entropy rate is discussed in the presence of four main irreversibilities i.e., heat transfer, Joule heating, porosity and dissipation. METHOD: Homotopy technique is utilized to develop the convergence series solutions. RESULTS: Impacts of sundry variables subject to both SWCNTs (single) and MWCNTs (multi) are graphically discussed. Statistical analysis and probable error for surface drag force and Nusselt number are numerically calculated subject to various flow variables. Numerical results for such engineering quantities are displayed through tables. In addition, comparative analysis for SWCNTs and MWCNTs are presented for the velocity, concentration and thermal fields. CONCLUSIONS: Results for entropy rate is calculated in the presence of various sundry variable through implementation of second law of thermodynamics. It is examined from the results that velocity decreases for both CNTs via higher magnetic, inertia coefficient and porosity parameters. Secondary velocity i.e., velocity in g-direction boosts up versus rotation parameter while it declines for larger slip parameter for both CNTs. thermal field intensifies for both CNTs via larger heat generation/absorption parameter. Concentration which shows the mass transfer of species increases subject to higher homogeneous parameter and Schmidt number in case of both CNTs. Entropy rate in more for larger magnetic, Reynolds number and slip parameter. Bejan number boosts up for higher Reynold number and slip parameter while it declines for magnetic parameter.
