Abstract

:
The movement of biological fluids in the human body is a premium field of interest to overcome growing biomedical challenges. Blood behavior shows different behavior in capillaries, veins, and arteries during circulation. In this paper, a new mathematical relation for the nano-layer of biological fluids flows with the effect of TiO2 and Ag hybrid nanoparticles was developed. Further, we explain the engineering phenomena of biological fluids and the role of hybrid nanoparticles in the blood vessel system. The improvement of drug delivery systems by using low seepage Reynolds number was associated with expansion/contraction and was discussed in detail through the rectangular domain. Using similarity transformation, the governing equations were converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations, and the mathematical problem was solved by employing the numerical shooting method. Plots of momentum, temperature, skin friction coefficient, as well as the Nusselt number on different non-dimensionless parameters are displayed via lower/upper porous walls of the channel. It was analyzed that the walls of the channel showed different results on magnetized physical parameters. Values of thermophoresis and the Brownian motion flow of the heat transfer rate gradually increased on the upper wall and decreased on the lower wall of the channel. The important thing is that the hybrid nanoparticles, rather than nano, were more useful for improving thermal conductivity, heat transfer rate, and the nano-layer.

1. Introduction

The study related to the flow of nanofluids through deformable porous domains such as channels or pipes has appealed to the attention of many research groups because it plays a key role in illustrating numerous engineering phenomena related to various industrial and biological problems. Porous domains were utilized earlier for the illustration of many surface mechanisms such as propellant burning, uniformly distributed irrigation, natural transpiration, drug delivery system, natural transpiration, ablation cooling, and phase sublimation. Majdalani et al. [1] determined that biological fluid movement through contracting or expanding vasculature is characterized by little seepage. The current work concentrates on the viscous flow caused by tiny wall contractions and expansions of two weakly permeable walls. Heat transport and unstable oscillatory flow in a horizontal composite porous media were studied by Umavathi et al. [2]. The pioneering work by Choi in 1995 [3] for the enhancement of heat and mass transfer has proven to be a game-changer in the field of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. The use of nanoparticles instead of microparticles for the production of heat transfer fluids not only removed the barriers from the way of heat transfer observed in the case of conventional fluids and macro-fluids, such as the rapid settlement of particles and limited heat transfer, but they are also favorable due to their applicable uplifted thermophysical properties, higher stability [4], and diverse applications in major technological and biomedical engineering fields. Hybrid nanofluids are formed by suspending more than one distinct nanoparticle in the base fluid. The development of hybrid nanofluids is a compromise between the benefits and drawbacks [5]. Sarkar et al. [6] declared that the hybrid nanofluids attained much attention due to their simultaneous combination of physical as well as chemical properties, which is simply a suspension of two different materials in a single base fluid for feasible applications, where mono-particle nanofluids can play a vital role or fulfill the specific requirements. The major factors that affect the selection of nanomaterials for hybrid nanofluids are availability, stability, toxicity, thermophysical properties, compatibility with the base fluid, inter-compatibility of both nanomaterials, and preparation cost [7]. Numerous studies have revealed the superior heat transfer characteristics of hybrid nanofluids, but the stability issues and dispersion of suspended particles in the base fluids are the two major worries that need to be resolved as early as possible for practical applications [8]. Hybrid nanofluids are relatively low-cost, efficient, and have tunable characteristics [9].
After the pioneering work on nanofluids by Choi and Eastman, plenty of research reports have been submitted related to the behavior of various nanofluids in various mediums [10]. A plethora of research reports can be found related to water, ethylene glycol, and oil-based mono-particle as well as hybrid nanofluids [11], but very few reports can be found about the thermo-physical features of bio-fluid-based hybrid nanofluids. Yurong et al. [12] studied the heat transfer characteristics of TiO2 nanoparticles in water flowing in a vertical flow channel in the upward direction. Li et al. [13] computationally analyzed the nanofluid flow in microchannels for their prime application in micro-heat sinks and bio-MEMS. Mishra et al. [14] investigated the optical properties of gold nanoparticle biological nanofluids (vinyl pyrrolidone). Bajestan et al. [15] conducted experimental as well as numerical studies of nanofluids for their use in solar heat exchangers. In 2018, Ali et al. [16] discussed preparation techniques for TiO2, its applications, and major hurdles in the way of advanced research of nanofluids. Dakshayani et al. [17] analyzed the anticoagulant, antimicrobial, and antiplatelet characteristics of green synthesized silver nanoparticles with the help of Selaginella extract. Brzóska et al. [18] organized the sustainable heat transfer media with higher thermal conductivity by using multiwall carbon nanotubes in the bio-based fluids for the development of green bio-based nanofluids.
Following the concept of nanofluids, in 2007, Jana et al. [19] compared the elevation of heat transfer rate with the use of one and more than one nanoparticle in the base fluids. This was the first time hybrid nanofluids were kept into account. In that manuscript, Cu, Au, CNT mono-particle nanofluids, Cu-CNT, and Au-CNT hybrid nanofluids were considered. The Cu-nanofluid was the most efficient one, and the hybrid nanofluids were less efficient compared to the Cu-nanofluid. After that, numerous experiments and computational studies were conducted to assess the thermo-physical traits of various hybrid nanofluids. By most literature surveys, it was observed that efficiency depends upon the suspended nanoparticles (mono-nanoparticles and hybrid nanoparticles) as well as on the base fluid [20]. Madhesh et al. [21] investigated the convective heat transfer of Cu-TiO2 hybrid nanofluids in a tube-like container for heat exchangers. The enhancement of the heat transfer rate was witnessed by increasing the volume concentration of copper-titania hybrid nanoparticles. Sundar et al. [22] elaborated on the superior heat transfer rate and friction factor of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)–Fe3O4 aqueous hybrid nanofluids. Dinarvand et al. [23] worked on the impact of CuO-Cu in blood hybrid nanofluid flowing in the micro-circulatory system on the drug delivery system. Later on, Chahregh and Dinarvand [24] formulated the model to study the behavior of Ag-TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles in the blood circulatory system in the large arteries where blood behaves as Newtonian. Their study mainly focused on drug delivery applications for the respiratory system. The experimental investigation and mathematical computation of heat transfer and the friction factor of TiO2–SiO2 hybrid nanoparticles in ethylene glycol and water were considered by Ramadhan and his coworkers [25]. Kim et al. [26] proposed gold and silver hybrid nanoparticles as the prime candidate for a cure for bacterial infection. Furthermore, they explained their vital role in photo-acoustic imaging for diagnostic purposes. An examination by Rathore [27] was conducted to evaluate the heat transfer in blood flowing through the stenotic artery while it is suspended in GO-Al2O3. Radiative heat, a constant magnetic field, dissipative, and Cattaneo-Christov thermal flux effects are all present in the 2D hybrid blood flow. A 2D computational analysis of hybridized ferrofluid for enhanced heat transport in MHD flow generated by elongating surfaces with radiation impact was investigated by Sandeep et al. [28]. Rathore et al. [29] evaluated the impact of resistive and radiative heat on graphene oxide (GO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) suspended Sutter by blood flow through the stenosed artery. Using a container with changing parameters, Riahi et al. [30] discussed the discretization of nanofluid convective movement using finite elements. Focusing on the three-dimensional (3D) Casson nanofluid flow over a narrowing sheet in porous layers, Durgaprasad et al. [31] took into account thermophoresis and the Brownian motion phenomenon. A study by Wakif et al. [32] considered a meta-analysis on the relevance of nano or small particles subjected to thermophoretic force due to temperature differential during the dynamics of liquid substances. Amidu et al. [33] obtained qualitative results toward understanding the influence of various slip mechanisms on the natural heat transfer performance of nanofluids. In this study, sedimentation, Brownian diffusion, and thermophoretic diffusion were all taken into account as slide processes.
After surveying most of the available literature, we found that there are some reports related to TiO2-Ag nanoparticles suspended in Newtonian blood flow in large arteries. However, no one ever reported the thermo-physical properties of TiO2-Ag hybrid nanoparticles in small arteries where blood behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid. Motivated by the wise scope of nanofluid application, we considered the current elaborated fluid problem. The primary aim of this study was to show the influence of hybrid nanoparticles on the dynamics of a Casson hybrid nanofluid subjected to two parallel plates. The above available studies showed that less consideration is given to this study, and this report will be very useful for experts to explore various features and to analyze the different outcomes. We focused on the comparison of the thermo-physical properties of mono-particle nanofluids (TiO2/Blood and Ag/Blood) and the hybrid nanofluid (TiO2-Ag/Blood).

2. Mathematical Formulation

Blood exhibits Newtonian and non-Newtonian type fluids in nature depending on the size of the artery, which is significantly attractive for diverse research purposes in biomedical engineering and drug delivery. Blood behaves as Newtonian fluid in large arteries, while on the other hand, the non-Newtonian behavior is more significant in narrow blood vessels [34]. Due to this specific behavior of blood, it can be referred to as Casson fluid. Casson fluids behave like a fluid when suitable shear stress is applied; otherwise, they behave as a solid [35]. For better blood circulation, it is mandatory to maintain the standard viscosity as well as the temperature of the blood. To modify the thermophysical properties of blood, hybrid nanoparticles are dispersed in the blood to improve the thermophysical of blood [36]. Considering the laminar, incompressible, isothermal, and two-dimensional non-Newtonian Casson hybrid nanofluid (TiO2-Ag/blood) flow in the rectangular domain by two porous surfaces, this enables the fluid to enter or exit during successive expansion or contraction and can be proven as the most appropriate prototype for hydrodynamic/thermal analysis of arterial blood flow. The geometry is created through substantial alteration [37]. Both walls have the same permeability and are capable of moving up and down at a time-dependent rate of a t with a distance of 2 a t . The temperature at the lower and upper walls of the channel are represented by the parameters T 1 and T 2 .
Under these suppositions, the Navier-Stokes’s equations are [35]:
v x + w y = 0 ,
ρ h n f v t + v v x + w v y = μ h n f 1 + 1 β 2 v + σ B 0 2 v P x
ρ h n f ( w t + v w x + w w y ) = μ h n f 1 + 1 β 2 w + σ B 0 2 w P y
T t + v T x + w T y = α h n f 2 T + τ D B T y + D T T 2 T y 2 + μ h n f ρ c p h n f v y 2
The boundary conditions for the above model are:
v = 0 ,         w = A a t ,     a t       y = a t ,       when   T = T 1 , v = 0 ,         w = A a t ,     a t     y = a t ,         when     T = T 2 ,
where A is the wall permeability component and derivative for time, and T 1 and T 2 represent the temperature of the lower and upper walls of the permeable channel.
First of all, the continuity equation is satisfied by the similarity variables stated in Equation (6). Furthermore, the similarity variables are used in the governing equations to acquire Equations (7) and (8):
η = y a ,               v = x v f a 2 F η η , t ,           w = v f a F η , t ,           θ = T T 2 T 1 T 2 ,
v h n f v f 1 + 1 β F η η η η + α 3 F η η + η F η η η + F η F η η F F η η η + ρ b f l ρ h n f M F η η a 2 v f F η η t = 0
α h n f v f θ η η + θ η η α F + N b   θ η   + N t   θ η 2 + μ h n f μ b f l ρ c p b f l ρ c p h f l E c F η η 2 + a 2 v f θ t = 0
Here, N t = τ D T Δ T T 2 v f , N b = τ D T Δ C v f , E c = υ 2 x 2 a 2 Δ T ( C P ) b f l , with boundary conditions
F = R e ,     F η = 0 ,     θ = 1 ,     a t     η = 1 F = R e ,     F η = 0 ,     θ = 1 ,         a t     η = 1
Following Majdalani et al. [1], we assumed that t is constant, θ t = F η η t = 0 , and F   a n d   θ depend on η . Therefore, Equations (7) and (8) reduce to
v h n f v f 1 + 1 β F η η η η + α 3 F η η + η F η η η + F η F η η F F η η η + ρ b f l ρ h n f M F η η = 0
α h n f v f θ η η + θ η η α F + N b   θ η   + N t   θ η 2 + μ h n f μ b f l ρ c p b f l ρ c p h f l E c F η η 2 = 0
Then, adjusting f = F R e ,
v h n f v f 1 + 1 β f η η η η + α 3 f η η + η f η η η + R e ( f η f η η f f η η η ) + ρ b f l ρ h n f M f η η     0
α h n f v f θ η η + θ η η α f R e + N b   θ η   + N t   θ η 2 + μ h n f μ b f l ρ c p b f l ρ c p h f l E c R e 2 f η η 2 = 0
Here, v h n f = μ h n f ρ h n f , α h n f = k h n f ρ c p h n f . ρ h n f represents the density of (HNfl), P is the pressure, v h n f is the kinematic viscosity of (HNfl), σ is the electrical conductivity, B 0 is the strength of the magnetic field, α h n f is the thermal diffusivity, and T is the temperature.
The thermophysical properties of nanoparticles and base fluid are given in Table 1, while the properties of HNfl are given in Table 2.
Because those traditional models are insufficient to capture the abnormally increased thermal conductivity of the nanofluid, we did not use the classical thermal conductivity correlations outlined by renowned Maxwell [40] and Hamilton and Crosser [41]. This fundamental flaw stems from the fact that the thermal conductivity correlations in those classical models do not take into account the presence of molecular solid-liquid interfaces or nanoparticle diameter. Here, φ 1 and φ 2 represent the volume fraction of titania and silver nanoparticles. ρ b f , ρ 1 , and ρ 2 represent the density of the base fluid, the first nanoparticle, and the second nanoparticle, respectively. μ h n f represents the viscosity of HNfl, μ b f represents the viscosity of the base fluid, ρ c p 1 and ρ c p 2 represent the heat capacitance for solid nanoparticles, and ρ c p b f represents the heat capacitance for base fluid. λ 1 = 1 + h r , λ 2 = 1 + h 2 r , and in this model, h denotes the thickness of the nanolayer at the nanoparticles liquid interface, r is the radius of the particles, k n l r = 3 k b f is the thermal conductivity of the nanolayer reference [42], k h n f is the thermal conductivity of the HNfl, k n f is the thermal conductivity of the Nfl, and k 1 and k 2 are the thermal conductivity of hybrid nano-particles, respectively.
By replacing the formulas from Table 2, the equation becomes

f = 1 ,     f = 0 ,     θ = 1 ,     at     η = 1 f = 1 ,     f = 0 ,     θ = 1 ,         at     η = 1 ,
Here, α = a t a t v f is a time-dependent dimensionless parameter and shows the expansion and contraction of the channel’s walls. It is positive in the case of expansion and negative in the case of contraction. An important parameter that shows the injection and suction of the walls of the channel is the Reynold number R e = A α a v f ; for injection case, Re > 0, and in suction case, Re < 0.

2.1. Numerical Procedure

We used Mathematica’s built-in function and solved a system of nonlinear Equations (14) and (15) by using boundary conditions numerically. We utilized the software Mathematica since it has thousands of built-in functions that allow us to perform sophisticated analyses in a short amount of time. The numerical solution was obtained rather than using analytical methods. The shooting technique was used in conjunction with the fourth-order RK method for numerical computations. The Runge-Kutta method is a preferable alternative since it requires less computing, is more stable, and produces accurate results in less time. The rapidity (computational cost) and additivity of this technique to IVP are its main advantages. Finding the IVP (initial value problem) using an appropriate shooting approach is massively successful because of the importance of IVP in real-world/practical applications,

By inputting the values of G 1 ,   G 2 ,   G 3 ,   G 4 ,   Z 1 ,   and   Z 2 the equations become:

Z 1 Z 2 θ + P r G 3 θ η α f R e + N b   θ + N t   θ 2 + G 4 B r R e 2 f 2 = 0
As we proceed, the ruling set of PDEs was transformed into the following system of first-order ODEs; let f = m ,   f = n ,   f = p ,   and   θ = q , and by substituting values in Equations (23) and (24), the equations become:
p = 1 G 1 β 1 + β α 3 n + η p + R e m n f p + G 2 M n    
q = 1 Z 1 Z 2 q [ P r G 3 ( η α f R e + + N t   q ) + G 4 B r R e 2 m 2 ]

Here, a 1 , a 2 , and a 3 are the initial missing conditions.

2.2. Engineering Interest Quantities

2.2.1. Skin Friction Coefficients

C f 1 and the C f 1 represent the coefficient of skin friction of the upper and lower porous channel walls that is expressed as:
C f 1 = ζ y | η = 1 ρ f a A 2 = 1 R e r 1   φ 1   φ 2 2.5   f 1 C f 1 = ζ y | η = 1 ρ f a A 2 = 1 R e r 1   φ 1   φ 2 2.5   f 1
ζ y are shear stresses at the lower and upper porous channel walls in the radial direction, respectively,
ζ y     = μ h n f v y | η = 1 = μ b f 1   φ 1   φ 2 2.5 r v f a 3   f 1 ζ y     = μ h n f v y | η = 1 = μ b f 1   φ 1   φ 2 2.5 r v f a 3   f 1

2.2.2. Nusselt Numbers

The calculation at the lower and upper porous channel walls for heat transfer rate, (Nusselt numbers) N u y 1 and N u y 1 , are given as:
N u y 1 =   a d y k f T 1 T 2 | η = 1 = k h n f k f   θ 1 N u y 1 = a d y k f T 1 T 2 | η = 1 = k h n f k f   θ 1
Here, heat flux is denoted as d y , which follows as:
d y | η = 1 = k h n f T y | η = 1 = T 1 T 2 a k h n f θ 1 d y | η = 1 = k h n f T y | η = 1 = T 1 T 2 a k h n f θ 1
where
R e = A a a t v f

3. Result and Discussion

The nonlinear differential equations were solved numerically by the shooting method with the respective boundary conditions. Additionally, the physical behavior of the parameters involved in the velocity, temperature, and concentration distribution was examined. We assigned the values for the flowing parameters such as M ,   β ,   R e ,   B r ,   P r ,   N t ,   N b ,   h ,   r ,   α ,   φ 1 ,   and   φ 2 elsewhere. All of these values are kept constant, except the variable one, for each computation, which is significant in graphs and tables. The velocity, temperature, and concentration distribution graphs are represented in the whole discussion by the hybrid nanofluid case. Table 1 illustrates the thermo-physical properties of titanium dioxide, silver, and blood. In Table 2 the thermophysical properties of hybrid nanofluids are represented. Table 3 represents the effect of the nano-layer thickness (h), the radius of the nanoparticle (r), and the volume of fraction φ 1 ,   φ 2 on thermal conductivity. As we increased the value of φ 1 , φ 2 , and h , the thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanofluid increased, but in the case of increasing r , the value of thermal conductivity decreased. Table 4 and Table 5 show the comparison of nano and hybrid nanofluid in different non-dimensionless parameters with the impact of the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number. The results of the skin friction coefficient show better results on nanofluid with ( TiO 2 /Blood) by increasing the volume fraction, but the numerical results of the Nusselt number gave efficient readings in hybrid nanofluid ( TiO 2 Ag /Blood) in both upper and lower porous walls. Furthermore, with Re < 0 and α > 0, the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt numbers showed gradually reducing behavior in both porous cases, except the effect of the Reynolds number on the Nusselt number showed increasing behavior in both upper and lower walls. Table 6 illustrates the impact of heat transfer rate on thermophoresis and Brownian motion. If we enhanced the values of Nt and Nb, the heat transfer rate increased on the upper wall and decreased on the lower wall of the channel. Table 7 shows the analyses of heat transfer rate on several parameters such as the Prandtl number, Brickman number, nano-layer thickness, and radius of the particle. If we rose the values of Br and h, then the flow of heat transfer rate in hybrid nanofluids ( TiO 2 Ag /Blood) escalated. Furthermore, with r > 0 for the flow of nanoparticles, the heat transfer rate was minimized, while on the other hand, the opposite numerical results of heat transfer were concluded on both walls of the channel by the raising Prandtl number. Physically, the Prandtl number is the ratio of thermal diffusivity and momentum diffusivity. Table 8 shows the numerical comparison of the previous result and the current study flow of momentum and thermal transfer on a lower surface. Figure 1 shows an interesting behavior of shear stress and Casson fluid parameter ( β ). Increasing the values of the Casson fluid parameter caused the shear stress on fluid to gradually increase, and the fluid showed Newtonian behavior on the infinite values, showed Non-Newtonian behavior on small values, and behaved like a solid on zero values of the Casson fluid parameter ( β ). Figure 2 displays the diagram of the problem. Figure 3 expresses variation in the thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanofluid against (h) and (r) on five different numerical values of volume fraction. We observed that, by increasing (h), thermal conductivity gradually increased and gradually decreased by increasing (r). Figure 4 shows the comparison results of nano and hybrid nanofluids, while the hybrid nanofluids showed excellent results. Figure 5 demonstrates the effect of expanding the contracting parameter α on the velocity profile. If α varied from negative to positive, then the momentum boundary layer thickness increased at the center of the wall and decreased on both upper and lower porous walls. Figure 6 describes the increasing behavior of the temperature profile on both lower and upper walls through the impact of expanding the contracting parameter α. Figure 7 and Figure 8 clarify the effect of the Reynolds number and magnetic parameter of the velocity profile by taking Re and M in increasing order. Increasing the value of the Reynolds number and the magnetic parameter, the momentum boundary layer thickness increased at the center of the wall and showed decreasing behavior on both upper and lower walls. In Figure 9, it is observed that, by increasing the value of the permeable Reynolds number, there were high values of temperature profile on both of the walls and at the center of the wall. Figure 10 shows that, if we took high values of the Casson fluid parameter, then the velocity profile increased in the middle of the wall and decreased on upper and lower porous walls.

4. Conclusions/Final Result

In this article, the laminar, isothermal, unsteady, and incompressible non-Newtonian Casson hybrid nano blood flow combined with the effect of the nano-layer through a deformable porous channel in the rectangular domain was observed by using Mathematica with the help of a shooting method based on the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. We drew the following results from this research:
  • By increasing the values of φ 1   and   φ 2 , the comparison of nanofluid and hybrid nanofluids gave much better results for hybrid nanofluids.
  • Taking β > 0, the momentum profile decreased on both upper and lower walls and increased at the center of the channel.
  • Taking h > 0 and r > 0, the thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluids was vice versa.
  • By enhancing the values of Nt and Nb, the flow of heat transfer rate gradually increased on the upper wall and decreased on the lower wall of the channel.
Finally, the important thing is that we can use hybrid nanoparticles rather than nano for improving thermal conductivity, heat transfer rate, and many other benefits, but in the case of biology we can use hybrid nanoparticles and the concept of nano-layer as tunable characteristics, as well as for improving thermal conductivity and heat transfer rate. Through this computational effort, we have successfully elucidated the parametric impacts on the dynamics of the Casson hybrid nanofluid. This study may be extended for tri-hybrid nanofluid and various physical properties of nanoparticles such as nanoparticle radius, shapes, inter-particle spacing, and aggregation.
