Thermophoresis refers to the motion of small particles suspending in a fluid with non-uniform temperature distribution due gradient around particle. Usually, molecules coming from hot side carry more kinetic energy than those cold side, which results net thermophoretic force direction opposite gradient. Since it was discovered 100 years ago, thermophoresis has been major importance variety appl...

The present communication examines the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) squeezing flow of Jeffrey nanofluid between two parallel disks. Constitutive relations of Jeffrey fluid are employed in the problem development. Heat and mass transfer aspects are examined in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Jeffrey fluid subject to time dependent applied magnetic field is conducted. Suitable va...

The vomeronasal system is one of several fine-tuned scent-detecting signaling systems in mammals. However, despite significant efforts, how these receptors detect scent remains an enigma. One reason is the lack of sufficient purified receptors to perform detailed biochemical, biophysical and structural analyses. Here we report the ability to express and purify milligrams of purified, functional...

Heat generation and its impact on DNA transport in the vicinity of an optofluidic silicon photonic crystal resonator are studied theoretically and experimentally. The temperature rise is measured to be as high as 57 K for 10 mW of input power. The resulting optical trapping and biomolecular sensing properties of these devices are shown to be strongly affected by the combination of buoyancy driv...

We propose a theoretical prototype of a micro-scale turbine externally driven by diffusive heat flux without the need for macroscopic particle flux, which is in sharp contrast to conventional turbines. The prototypes are described analytically and validated by computer simulations. Our results indicate that a micro-scale turbine composed of anisotropic blades can rotate unidirectionally in an e...

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of a nanofluid over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet is studied. Numerical results are obtained using boundary value problem solver bvp4c in MATLAB for several values of parameters. The numerical results show that dual solutions exist for the shrinking case, while for the stretching case, the solution is unique. A stability analysis is p...

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) chemically reacting flow by Casson nanofluid bounded a stretched surface is analyzed.

This manuscript investigates the outcomes yield stress, thermophoresis, motion, magnetic parameter, Pran...

The impact of heat-absorbing viscoelastic nanofluidic flow along with a convectively heated porous Riga plate Cattaneo-Christov double flux was analytically investigated. Buongiorno model nanofluid implemented the diversity Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Making use transformations; PDE systems are altered into an ODE system. We homotopy analysis method to solve these analytically. reaction...
