MHD flow of Williamson nanofluid using effective similarity variable considering viscous dissipation and thermal radiation over a non-linear stretching surface via OHAM by Muhammad Awais Sherani, Muhammad Sohail, Ibrahim Mahariq, Syed Tehseen Abbas

“…The results depict the scenario in which with increasing values of λ and M, the velocity reduces because resistance is increased; meanwhile, the temperature profile is inversely proportional to higher Pr, Le, and Nbt, where it decreases because thermal diffusivity diminishes. Conversely, with an increase in Rd, Nc, and S, the thermal profiles augment. …”

Coarse Particle Motion Characteristics in a Double-Stage Slurry Pump Considering Leakage Flow by Hao Jia, Yuqi Wang, Zuchao Zhu, Xianghui Su, Zhenji Tang

“…In the nonleak situation, although the increment of the average kinetic energy of particles through the impeller is more significant than in the leak case, most of them dissipate primarily by more than 10% collision in the bowl diffuser. In the leak or nonleak case, the average kinetic energy of particles was more than twice through the first stage but only 1.1 times through the second stage. …”
