Significance of Coriolis force, volume fraction, and heat source/sink on the dynamics of water conveying 47 nm alumina nanoparticles over a uniform surface

• Significance of Coriolis force heat source/sinkon water-alumina nanofluid was examined. • It outlines the influence of heat source/sink and volume fraction. • Coriolis force affects the motion, temperature, and concentration nanoparticles . • Enhancement of volume fraction is a yardstick for boosting the Nusselt number . • For both heat source and sink, Coriolis force enhances friction along z-direction. With a major emphasis on the applications of water conveying 47nm alumina nanoparticles in mechanical and biomedical industries , little is known on the variation of not only the transport phenomena (i.e. velocity), but also the concentration and temperature distribution across the domain when increasing Coriolis force, heat source/sink, and volume fraction are apparent. The relevant body forces were added to the Navier-Stokes equations to model the transport phenomenon over an object with uniform thickness. Appropriate similarity transformation for non-dimensionalization and parametrization of the partial differential equations was considered. The numerical solution of the corresponding ordinary differential equation (BVP) was derived with the aid of three-stage Lobatto IIIa collocation formula embedded in MATLAB package as bvp4c , and Shooting techniques together with fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme ( Sh-4RK ) and natural neighbor of data grinding method. It was found that Coriolis force and heat source/sink strongly affect not only the motion but also the temperature distribution and nanofluid concentration. Enhancement of volume fraction of tiny alumina particles is a yardstick for boosting not only the Nusselt number inversely proportional to the rate at which heat transfer occurs at the wall but also shear stress at the wall in x − and y − directions. Heat source affects the formation of friction formed at the wall during the dynamics of nanofluids subject to Coriolis force.
