It is harmful and lethal to most of its patients. The need to selectively deliver cytotoxic agents to cancer cells, to enhance protection and efficacy, has prompted the implementation of nanotechnology in medicine. The latest findings have found that gold nanomaterials can heal and conquer it because the material is studied such as gold (atomic number 79) which produces a large amount of heat and contribute to the therapy of malignant tumors. The purpose of the present study is to research the consequence of heat transport through blood flow (Casson model) that contains gold particles in a slippery shrinking/stretching curved surface. The mathematical modeling of Casson nanofluid containing gold nanomaterials towards the slippery curved shrinking/stretching surface is simplified by utilizing suitable transformatio...

Heat phenomenon is investigated by taking convective boundary condition along with both velocity and thermal slip phenomena. The original nonlinear coupled PDEs representing the fluidic model are transformed to an analogous nonlinear ODEs system via incorporating appropriate transformations. A data set for proposed MLP-ANN is generated for various scenarios of fluidic model by variation of involved pertinent parameters via Galerkin weighted residual method (GWRM). In order to predict the (MLP) values, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) has been developed. There ar...

The governing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are converted into Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) using similarity transformations. The results are achieved using the optimal homotopy analysis method (oHAM). The optimal convergence and residual errors have been calculated to preserve the validity of the model.

A visco-elastic and strictly incompressible liquid saturates the designated porous medium under the direct influence of the Darcy-Forchheimer model and convective boundary. The magnetic effect is taken uniformly normal to the flow direction. However, the model is bounded to a tiny magnetic Reynolds number for practical applications. Boundary layer formulations are taken into consideration. The so-formulated leading problems are converted into highly nonlinear ordinary problems using effectively modified transformations. The numerical scheme is applied to solve the governing problems. The outcomes stipulate that thermal layer receives significant modification in the incremental direction for augmented values of thermal radiation parameter Rd.

Via solutal stratification, radiation and thermal effects, heat and mass phenomena are evaluated. The novelty of the proposed investigation is focused on the important effect of melting phenomenon and EMHD Lorentz force along with stratification and heat generation over the rheology of the liquid flow. The influence of Brownian and thermophoresis particle deposition is included in transport equations involved in the analysis. Transformation is incorporated by the basic laws of mass, energy and linear momentum to acquire nonlinear differential system of equations. Utilizing Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method through BVPh2.0.0, optimum value of convergence control factors is estimated. Graphical findings for the dimensionless temperature, velocity and concentration for different pertinent parameters are explained. Numerical values of physical interest like skin friction coefficient, local Sherwood number and local Nusselt number are computed and visualized graphically. The heat generation and advanced modified Hartmann number improve the speed of flow. It is also observed that weaker thermal stratification upraises the rate of heat transport, and mass transport rate lessens for stronger mass stratification. In addition, contour graphs of velocity for ratio parameter A describe the accurate perception of flow. The intensity of temperature and concentration field is low owing to double stratification, whereas the stronger radiation corresponds the significantly rise in temperature. Reliability of outcomes assured by means of probable error analysis.
