Nanoparticles individualities in both Newtonian and Casson fluid models by way of stratified media: A numerical analysis.

The current paper contains the simultaneous analysis of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian nanofluid models. The fluid flow is achieved by considering the no-slip condition subject to a stretched cylindrical surface. The flow regime manifests with pertinent physical effects, namely temperature stratification, concentration stratification, thermal radiation, heat generation, magnetic field, dual convection and chemical reaction. The strength of fluid temperature and nanoparticles concentration adjacent to an inclined cylindrical surface is assumed to be higher than the ambient flow field. A mathematical model is developed in terms of differential equations. A self-constructed numerical algorithm is executed to report the numerical solution. The resultant annotations are illustrated through both tables and graphs. It is noticed that the Casson fluid shows significant variations with respect to the involved physical parameters as compared to the Newtonian fluid model. Moreover, the analysis is certified through comparison with the existing values in a limiting sense.

Peristaltic motion of Jeffrey fluid with nonlinear mixed convection.

Since previous few decays the consideration of non-Newtonian liquids motion due to its immense usages in medicine, biology, industrial procedures, chemistry of catalysts and in environment. Various studies examine the significance of bio-materials flow in physiological procedures to explore the cure of diagnosed symptoms of disease appearing during movement in a human physiological system. To illustrate the characteristics of physiological liquids various non-Newtonian models have been proposed, but yet no such single liquid model is exploited which describes all the properties of nonlinear behaving liquids. Among these several non-Newtonian models, Jeffery liquid model should be reduced to its base fluid case (i.e. viscous liquid) by choosing λ1 = λ2 = 0. Various physiological materials which represents both linear and nonlinear characteristics respectively blood is one of these. Jeffery fluid and peristaltic motion have some common properties such as radii, relaxation time and retardation time. Moreover heat and mass transfer is also an important phenomenon which is suitable for various physiological processes such as hemodialysis and oxygenation etc. Thus due to such motivating facts this research is conducted to investigate the peristaltic motion of electrically conducting Jeffery liquid. The peristaltic propagating channel walls are asymmetric and inclined. Joule heating and magnetic field effects are considered by applying magnetic field in transverse direction to the flow. Further conservation laws modelled the flow situation via considering quadric mix convection, thermos diffusion and diffusion-thermos, heat generation and absorption, chemical reaction with activation energy features. Moreover, creeping flow and long wavelength assumptions are used to simplify the mathematical modelling. The reduced system of equation is solved numerically through built-in technique in Mathematica software. This built-in technique is working through ND Solve command and shooting and RK-Felburg numerical schemes are behind this technique. These numerical results are used to discuss the flow quantities i.e., velocity, temperature and concentration against the sundry dimensionless quantities. Examining the results it comes to know that both thermal and concentration nonlinear mix convection have oppositely affecting the axial velocity. Both heat and mass transfer are escalating function of thermo-diffusion/diffusion-thermo aspects.

Numerical analysis of unsteady momentum and heat flow of dusty tangent hyperbolic fluid in three dimensions.

This paper explores the impact of MHD and viscous dissipation with joule heating on convective stretching flow of dusty tangent hyperbolic fluid over a sheet in 3D. A time-dependent magnetic field is applied along the z-axis and the sheet being stretched along the xy-plane. The fluid and dust particles motions are coupled only through drag and heat transfer between them. The effect of viscous dissipation with convection is appreciable when the generated kinetic energy becomes appreciable as compared to the amount of heat transferred. A well known bvp4c method has been used to find the fruitful results. Graphs and tables show the facts and figures for physical properties according to different parameters. The main findings are that Increase in power law index, magnetic field, Weissenberg effect, concentration of dust particles, and unsteadiness parameter reduces the flow of fluid and solid granules.

Analytical investigation of magnetized 2D hybrid nanofluid (GO + ZnO + blood) flow through a perforated capillary.

The hydrothermal features of unsteady, incompressible, and laminar hybrid nanofluid motion through a porous capillary are analytically studied in the magnetic field presence. The hybrid nanofluid (GO + ZnO + Blood) is synthesized by blending nanomaterials of graphene oxide and zinc oxide with blood acting as the host fluid. The mathematical model of the flow comprises of a coupled nonlinear set of partial differential equations (PDEs) satisfying appropriate boundary conditions. These equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity transformations and then solved with homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various pertinent physical parameters over the hybrid nanofluid state functions are examined by displaying 2 D graphs. It has been observed that the fluid velocity mitigates with the varying strength of M, A0, N0, and N1. The enhancing buoyancy parameter ϵ augments the fluid velocity. The increasing Prandtl number causes to reduce, while the enhancing A0, B, and N2 augment the hybrid nanofluid temperature. The fluid concentration mitigates with the higher Schmidt number values and A0, and augments with the increasing Soret number strength. The augmenting magnetic field strength causes to enhance the fluid friction, whereas the convective heat transfer increases with the Prandtl number rising values. The rising Sherwood number drops the mass transfer rate of the fluid. The achieved results are validated due to the agreement with the published results. The results of this computation will find applications in biomedicine, nanotechnology, and fluid dynamics.

A review of COVID-19: Treatment strategies and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology approaches to the coronavirus disease.

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.

The surface catalyzed reaction is added to the homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction that triggers the rate of the chemical reaction. The added feature of the variable thermal conductivity and the viscosity instead of their constant values also boosts the novelty of the undertaken problem. The modeled problem is erected in the form of a system of partial differential equations. Engaging similarity transformation, the set of ordinary differential equations are obtained. The coupled equations are numerically solved by using the bvp4c built-in MATLAB function. The drag coefficient and Nusselt number are plotted for arising parameters. The results revealed that increasing surface catalyzed parameter causes a decline in thermal profile more efficiently. Further, the power-law index is more influential than the variable thickness disk index. The numerical results show that variations in dimensionless thickness coefficient do not make any effect. However, increasing power-law index causing an upsurge in radial, axial, tangential, velocities, and thermal profile.

Chemical reaction and thermal radiation impact on a nanofluid flow in a rotating channel with Hall current.

The objective of the present exploration is to examine the nanoliquid flow amid two horizontal infinite plates. The lower plate is stretchable and permeable. The uniqueness of the flow model is assimilated with the Hall effect, variable thermal conductivity, thermal radiation, and irregular heat source/sink. Transmission of mass is enhanced with the impression of chemical reaction incorporated with activation energy. Appropriate similarity transformation is applied to transform the formulated problem into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The numerical solution is obtained by employing MATLAB software function bvp4c. The dimensionless parameters are graphically illustrated and discussed for the involved profiles. An increasing behavior is exhibited by the temperature field on escalating the Brownian motion, thermophoresis parameter, variable thermal conductivity, and radiation parameter. For larger values of Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter, the concentration profile deteriorates, while a reverse trend is seen for activation energy. The rate of heat transfer is strengthened at the lower wall on amplifying the Prandtl number. A comparative analysis of the present investigation with already published work is also added to substantiate the envisioned problem.

This investigation aims to look at the thermal conductivity of dusty Micropolar nanoliquid with MHD and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux flow over an elongated sheet. The novelty of the envisioned mathematical model is augmented with the added impacts of the heat source/sink, chemical reaction with slip, convective heat, and zero mass flux boundary conditions. The salient feature of the existing problem is to discuss the whole scenario with liquid and dust phases. The graphical depiction is attained for arising pertinent parameters by using bvp4c a built-in MATLAB function.

The thickness of the boundary layer and the fluid velocity are decreased as the velocity slip parameter is augmented. In both dust and liquid phases, the thermal boundary layer thickness is lessened for growing estimates of thermal relaxation time. The attained results are verified when compared with a published result.

Carbon nanotubes possess diverse applications in daily life including energy storage, drug delivery, cancer treatment, tissue generation, platelet activation, magnetic force microscopy, and microwave absorption, etc. Similarity transformations are utilized to translate the modeled problem into the coupled ordinary differential equations. This system of ordinary differential equations is addressed numerically. The graphical outcomes are scrutinized by utilizing the MATLAB software bvp4c function. The results revealed that the velocity profile decreases for the higher rotation parameter while increases for the escalated slip parameter. Furthermore, the fluid concentration and temperature are on the decline for higher surface catalyzed reaction and thermal relaxation parameters respectively.

Determination of in vivo biological activities of Dodonaea viscosa flowers against CCL4 toxicity in albino mice with bioactive compound detection.

Dodonaea viscosa L.Jacq. is an evergreen shrub and native to Asia, Africa, and Australia. It has been used as traditional medicine in different countries. The foremost objective of the current study was to discover the protective potential of D. viscosa flowers Methanol (DVM) and Chloroform (DVC) extracts against CCL4 induced toxicity in mice. This study was intended to identify phytochemicals through HPLC, GCMS, and FT-IR, as well as in vitro antioxidant and in vitro anti-tuberculosis activity. Our comprehensive findings indicate that Dodonaea viscosa is valuable and widespread herbal medicine through therapeutic potentials for curing various ailments. Dodonaeaviscosa flowersare found to have a protective effect against oxidative stress produced by CCL4 in the liver, kidney, and spleen. The intake of DV extracts restored the level of hepatic enzymes (ALP, AST ALT, and Direct bilirubin), hematological parameters (RBCs, WBCs, and Platelets), total protein, and liver antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx, and CAT) after a decline in levels by CCL4. Histopathological results discovered the defensive effect of 300 mg/kg of DVM extract against CCL4 induced damage, thus having an improved protective effect compared to DVC and control. As a result of metabolite screening, the total flavonoids and total phenolics were present in abundance. A phytochemical investigation by HPLC identified gallic acid, epicatechin, cumeric acid, flavonoids, while GCMS estimated oleic acid (Octadecenoic acid) (C18H34O2), Stearic acid (C18H36O2), Ricinoleic acid (C18H34O3), and Cedrol (C15H26O). DVM extract exhibited resistance against in vitro Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. So this study proposed that the protective effect of DV against oxidative damage induced in the liver, kidney, and spleen can be correlated to the antioxidant compounds.

Theoretical analysis of non-Newtonian blood flow in a microchannel.

BACKGROUND: In this work the theoretical analysis is presented for a electroosmotic flow of Bingham nanofluid induced by applied electrostatic potential. The linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered in the presence of Electric double layer (EDL). A Bingham fluid model is employed to describe the rheological behavior of the non-Newtonian fluid. Mathematical formulation is presented under the assumption of long wavelength and small Reynolds number. Flow characteristics are investigated by employing Debye-Huckel linearization principle. Such preferences have not been reported previously for non-Newtonian Bingham nanofluid to the best of author's knowledge. METHOD: The transformed equations for electroosmotic flow are solved to seek values for the nanofluid velocity, concentration and temperature along the channel length. RESULTS: The effects of key parameters like Brinkmann number, Prandtl number, Debey Huckel parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter are plotted on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Graphical results for the flow phenomenon are discussed briefly. CONCLUSIONS: Non-uniformity in channel as well as yield stress τ0 cause velocity declaration for both positive and negative values of U. Nanofluid temperature is found an increasing function of electro osmotic parameter κ if U is positive while it is a decreasing function if U is negative. A completely reverse response is seen in case of concentration profile. The thermophoresis parameter Nt, the Brow nian motion parameter Nb and Brinkman number Br cause an enhancement in temperature. The results are new in case of U.
