Influence of Cattaneo-Christov model on Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Micropolar Ferrofluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet
Introduction
There are numerous scientific challenges for effective heat transfer in various fields like medicine, food, electronics, chemical sensors, solar cells, fuel cells, batteries, etc. These challenges can be handled by applying the recently developed field of nanotechnology. One of the major achievements of nanotechnology is the introduction of nanofluids. Nanofluid is a wonderful addition of Modern science and Technology. Due to nanometer dimensions, the nanofluid can flow through micro-size channels. Because of the enhanced convection between the base liquid surfaces and the nanoparticles, the nano-suspensions exhibit large thermal conduction. The suspension of the nanoparticles in the base fluid increases the heat conduction capacity, thermal conductivity, effective surface area, interparticles collisions, and the various interactions between the constituent particles. The nanofluid utilization for the first time was introduced by Choi in 1995 [1] for enhancing the thermal conductivity of the classical fluid. After its introduction, the nanofluid research has attracted many investigators throughout the world due its fascinating thermal properties and possible applications in different fields like medicine, electronics, petrochemical, refining, heating, air-conditioning and transportation. The experimental investigation of two different kinds of nanoparticles γ-alumina (Al2O3) and titaniumdioxide (TiO2) on the turbulent heat transfer flow was given by Pak and Cho [2]. It has been observed that the addition of the suspended nanoparticles caused an increase in the convective heat transfer coefficient of water. Eastman et al. [3] has claimed that the heat transfer coefficient in Cu-water suspended nanoparticles is higher than as compared with for pure water by analyzing some initial suspended nanoparticles experiments. Qiang and Yimin [4] have found better results than Eastman et al. [3] by experimentally studying the convective heat transfer characteristics of Cu- water based nanofluid flow. The coefficient of convective heat transfer of carbon nanotubes nanofluid in the presence of constant heat flux was experimentally studied by Rashidi and Nezamabad [5]. They found a considerable increase in the convective heat transfer coefficient of the carbon nanotubes nanofluid and also found it as function of axial distance from the inlet. Mahanta and Abramson [6] investigated the thermal conductivities of graphene and graphene oxide and obtained that the higher thermal conductivity of multilayer graphene platelets can be associated with the interlayer coupling due to covalent interactions provided by oxygen atoms. Sun et al. [7] have examined the convective heat transfer properties of water based on ferrofluid nanofluid inside copper tubes and showed that the addition of dispersants resulted a significant enhancement of the stability of the nanofluids. Walvekar et al. [8] have experimentally investigated the heat transfer enhancement during the turbulent flow of carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofluids by varying the CNT concentration and found that heat transfer enhances as a function of CNT concentration and temperature. Dawar et al. [9] have recently examined the radiative heat transfer and the MHD carbon nanotubes Casson nanofluid flow between two rotating plates and investigated the effects produced by various parameters of interest on the velocity and temperature profiles.
The mathematical models which researchers employ for studying different behaviours of nanofluids are Buongiorno and Tiwari-Das (TD) models [10,11]. Inertia, Magnus effect, diffusiophoresis, fluid drainage, gravity, thermophoresis, and Brownian diffusion, are the seven different mechanisms in which slip take place among the solid and fluid phases in the Buongiorno model. Buongiorno studied all these seven mechanisms and obtained that when turbulent effect is absent, the theromphoresis and the Brownian diffusion are the significant and leading mechanisms in the nanofluid dynamics. The Buongiorno model has been used in various studies [[12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]]. Later on, the Buongiorno model has been further extended by different researchers to investigate variety of problems related to the nanofluid flow on stretching as well as shrinking surfaces. For example, Zaimi et al. [18] studied numerically the boundary layer and heat transfer flow of a nanofluid over a permeable stretching (shrinking) surface. By analyzing the effects of various parameters, they found that the suction widens the range of stretching (shrinking) parameter for which the solution exists. Hayat et al. [19] has analytically studied the three dimensional MHD nanofluid flow on a stretching surface in the presence of heat generation (absorption) and convective heat transfer by considering the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. They found that the temperature distribution varies directly with Biot number and magnetic parameter. Muhammad et al. [20] has investigated the MHD boundary layer flow of Maxwell nanofluid on a porous stretching surface based on Darcy-Forchheimer model and studied the temperature and concentrations profiles by varying the different relevant parameters. Muhammad et al. [21] studied the three dimensional Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid flow on a bidirectional stretching surface by including the thermophoretic and Brownian diffusion effects in the energy and volume fraction of nanoparticles expressions. They explained the results of their work through different graphs and tables. Hayat et al. [22] examined the MHD flow of electrically conducting nanofluid over a porous stretching surface by taking into account the Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion of nanoparticles and studied graphically the impacts produced by different physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration. Hayat et al. [23] undertook the three dimensional MHD flow of a couple stress electrically conducting nanofluid on a bidirectional stretching surface in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. They have graphically shown the effects produced by different emerging parameters on the temperature and nanoparticles concentration and concluded that the thickness of the thermal boundary layer is an increasing function of radiative effect. Further relevant study can be found in Hayat et al. [24,25]. In contrast to the Buongiorno model which mainly concentrates on the the thermophoresis effects and Brownian motion, the TD model considers the nanoparticles volume fraction. Under different physical conditions, many researchers use TD model to study the different heat transfer characteristics of the nanofluids. The convective heat transfer of Ag and Cu-water base nanofluids on a stretching (shrinking) surface during steady flow of a boundary layer has been studied by Yacob et al. [26]. They found that the heat energy transfer rate decreases with increasing convective parameter while increases with higher values of nanoparticle volume fraction. It was also observed that heat transfer rate at the Cu-water nanofluid surface is larger than at the surface of Ag-water nanofluid, although Ag is a good thermal conductor as compared to Cu. Furthermore, Hussanan et al. [27] has examined the magnetite ferrofluid flow on a stretching (shrinking) surface subjected to suction and injection in order to investigate the micro-structure and inertial properties of the substructure of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles mixed with water (base fluid). During this study, they observed that micro-rotation velocity changes remarkably with positive and negative values of mass transfer parameter and also concluded that micropolar ferrofluid has higher velocity as compared to classical nanofluid. The TD model has further been applied to other relevant research and can be found in the references [[28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34]].
The most important model for the transfer of heat due to conduction is the Fourier's law [35]. Cattaneo [36] in 1948 recommended a thermal relaxation time factor to the Fourier's model to improve the heat transfer. But the main difficulty is the different thermal relaxation times of the different materials. Keeping this fact in mind, a very useful time derivative model was developed for the effective heat transfer mechanism by Christov [37], which is called the Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Meraj Mustafa [38] applied it to study the viscoelastic rotating fluid flow bounded by a stretching surface. He found an inverse relation between velocity and viscoelastic fluid parameter and also observed that fluid temperature varies inversely with the relaxation time and with the Prandtl number. The heat flux model of Cattaneo-Christov was also applied by Hayat et al. [39] in order to study the boundary layer flow on a dynamic surface of variable thickness and to explore the various aspects of heat transformation with varying thermal conductivity. They analyzed and explain the dependence of temperature and velocity distributions on different pertinent parameters. Ali and Sandeep [40] have used Cattaneo-Christov model and numerically studied the heat transfer due to radiations of the MHD Casson-ferrofluid. The different studies where Cattaneo-Christov model has been used in [[41], [42], [43]].
In this work, we examine the Cattaneo-Christov ferrofluid model on a porous and stretching (shrinking) surface by taking into account the effects of thermal radiations subjected to suction and injection. The effects of electric and magnetic fields are considered as well. In this brief study, water is taken as base fluid mixed with Fe3O4 (iron oxide) electro-magnetite nanoparticles. The mathematical equations are developed by using the Cattaneo-Christov model of nanofluid. We solve these model equations through the standard homtopy analysis procedure by using the similarity variables. In Section 2, the mathematical model consisting of different equations is outlined. Section 3 is devoted to the solution of these models equations by homotopy analysis. The results and discussion are presented in Section 4. We have concluded our work in Section 5.

We consider the boundary layer two-dimensional flow of a micropolar ferrofluid on a linear porous and stretching (shrinking) sheet. The x-axis is taken parallel while the y-axis is taken perpendicular to the sheet. Both magnetic and electric fields are assumed along the y-axis. The stretching (shrinking) velocity of the sheet is taken as Uw(x) = αx, where α > 0 (<0) for the stretching (shrinking) of the sheet.
