Abstract

Purpose

The study aims to determine an efficiency of external magnetic field on the bacteria surrounded by thousands of magnetic magnetite nanoparticles. The interstitial nanoliquid in which an artificial bacteria swims in biological cell is utilized with variable thermal conductivity. Two dimensions unsteady motion of second grade fluid are considered. The stretching wall is taken as a curved surface pattern.

Design/methodology/approach

The mathematical results have been obtained by Chebyshev pseudospectral method.

Findings

The impact of the various governing parameters is described by numerical tables and diagrams. It is proven that the pure blood velocity curves are higher when compared with the magnetite/blood. It is demonstrated from clinical disease that dangerous tumors show diminished blood flow. This study concludes that the blood velocity profile increases by increasing the values of fluid parameters. This implies that the medication conveyance therapy lessens the tumor volume and helps in annihilating malignancy cells. The blood temperature distribution raises as the magnetite nanoparticles concentration increases. Consequently, the physical properties of the blood can be enhanced by immersing the magnetite nanoparticles. Further, the present outcomes cleared the thermal conductivity as, a variable function of the temperature, has an important role to enhance the heat transfer rate.

Originality/value

To the best of authors’ knowledge, this study is reported for the first time.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to study the magneto-radiative gas (water vapor) on an unsmooth boundary.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper provided a numerical treatment via the implicit Chebyshev pseudo-spectral method to investigate unsteady compressible magneto-radiative gas (water vapor Pr = 1) flow near a heated vertical wavy wall through porous medium in the presence of inclined magnetic field. The impacts of viscous dissipation, temperature-dependent fluid properties, thermal conductivity and viscosity in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation are studied. The sinusoidal surface is transformed into a flat one using a suitable transformation. The comparison figures of published data with the present outcomes illustrate a good match. The present steady-state outcomes are presented for the temperature, velocity, Nusselt number and the shearing stress through figures for several interested physical parameters, namely, compressibility, magnetic, radiation, viscosity–temperature variation, thermal conductivity–temperature variation, surface sinusoidal waveform and porous parameters.

Findings

The present numerical outcomes confirm the importance of applying nonlinear thermal radiation cases in all studies that investigate heat transfer under the influence of thermal radiation.

Originality/value

A mathematical model is established for a wavy boundary, and Chebyshev pseudo-spectral method is adopted for the numerical study.

This paper aims to investigate a mathematical model with numerical simulation for bacterial growth in the heart valve.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate a mathematical model with numerical simulation for bacterial growth in the heart valve.

Design/methodology/approach

For antibacterial activities and antibodies properties, nanoparticles have been used. As antibiotics are commonly thought to be homogeneously dispersed through the blood, therefore, non-Newtonian fluid of Casson micropolar blood flow in the heart valve for two dimensional with variable properties is used. The heat transfer with induced magnetic field translational attraction under the influence of slip is considered for the resemblance of the heart valve prosthesis. The numeral results have been obtained by using the Chebyshev pseudospectral method.

Findings

It is proven that vascular resistance decreases for increasing blood velocity. It is noted that when the magnetic field will be induced from the heart valve prosthesis then it may cause a decrease in vascular resistance. The unbounded molecules and antibiotic concentration that are able to penetrate the bacteria are increased by increasing values of vascular resistance. The bacterial growth density cultivates for upswing values of magnetic permeability and magnetic parameters.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate a mathematical model with numerical simulation for bacterial growth in the heart valve.
