Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the Casson nanofluids flow theoretically over a vertical Riga plate. The temperature and concentration with ramped and isothermal wall conditions are considered. Moreover, the fluid is considered electrically conducted. Concrete is considered as a base fluid while clay nanoparticles are added to it. The present flow regime is formulated in terms of a system of partial differential equations. Using dimensionless variables, the system of equations with the imposed boundary conditions is non-dimensionalized. The Laplace transform technique is used to calculate the exact solutions for the temperature, concentration, and velocity distributions. The effect of various embedded parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are shown graphically and discussed physically. The variation in the skin friction for various values of clay nanoparticles volume fraction is shown in tabular form. The results indicate that adding 4% clay nanoparticles, enhanced the skin friction up to 7.04% in instance of ramped wall temperature (RWT) and 11.13% in isothermal wall temperature (IWT). This result is worth noting because the increase in skin friction causes rapid compaction of the cementitious materials and improves the tensile strength of the concrete.
1 Introduction
Non-Newtonian liquids are a hard topic among scientists and researchers, due to their wide range of applications in industry, everyday life, and engineering. They are categorized into several different classes because of their complexity and variety in nature and rheology. There are many models that may represent the flow behavior of viscoelastic liquids. Non-Newtonian fluids are processed under laminar flow conditions due to their higher consistency. Yield-pseudo plastic materials are an example of viscoelastic fluid. Such fluids show a nonlinear flow curve that has been preceded by particular yield stress. The viscosity of a pseudo-plastic fluid decreases as the rate of shear increases. With low apparent viscosity, this type of material displays an infinite rate of shear, whereas, with infinite apparent viscosity, the shear rate is much less (approaches zero). The Casson fluid model is a shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluid that is related to viscoplastic behavior. This is used to explain the shear stress and shear rate properties of fluid flow in yogurt, tomato puree, food, and biological materials in various industrial processes [1]. The most well-known examples of this type of flow behavior include paints, printing inks, and dispensing systems. However, poor flow speed is observed when the rate of shear is reduced, pseudo-plasticity is unenviable because of this fact [2]. Among the various models that describe the flow behavior of viscoelastic liquids, the Casson fluid is considered to be more reliable. Furthermore, the essence of viscoelastic fluids is increased because these materials are the only ones that depict the behavior of blood flow in the human body [3]. Casson developed the constitutive law that describes the Casson fluid model when characterizing the flow curves for pigment suspension in Silicon suspension and printing ink. Because of the wide variety of applications, the Casson fluid flow has received a lot of attention in the research community [4]. Ullah et al. [3] delineated a nonlinearly extending sheet immersed in a porous medium with unsteady MHD mixed convection slip flow of Casson fluid. They also considered heat generation/absorption, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and convective boundary conditions. Variable fluid parameters have an effect on the oblique stagnation point flow of a Casson nanofluid subjected to convective boundary conditions discussed by Prasad et al. [5]. [6] Investigated the exact solution of Casson fluid flow past through a stretching sheet. They have found that the velocity of the fluid decreases with increasing values of the Casson fluid parameter.
Nanofluids are the suspension of very small nanometer-sized solid particles into the base fluid. In contrast to the above, nanofluids offer a solution to the problem by mixing base fluids with non-agglomerated particles [7, 8]. Metals, metal oxides, ceramics, semiconductors, and clay are just a few of the materials that may be used to make nanofluids. In the area of construction and civil engineering, nanotechnology is one of the most modern fields of research. Concrete consists of a mixture of various aggregate materials like stone, sand, cement, and water. Nano concrete is made from nanomaterials or contains nanomaterials with a particle size of fewer than 500 nm. Nanoparticles are more accurately defined as recently developed concrete admixtures. Nanotechnology is a relatively new research area that covers a broad range in the field of civil engineering and construction studies. For example, they improve the hydration process of cement, thereby producing calcium-silica-hydrate, which increases the strength of cement-based products. By filling cement paste pores, nanoparticles with smaller particle sizes assist to enhance concrete’s microstructure and, as a result, increase its packing density. Many researchers have reported experimentally and theoretically different nanofluid models for different purposes. For example, some experimental findings on the integration of nanoparticles in cement-based concrete were published recently. Controlling the processes of hydration, strength production, and fracturing requires a detailed analysis of concrete-based material nanostructures. For many construction applications, for example, the development of new materials with properties like discoloration resistance is essential [9]. It is now possible to see the arrangement of materials at the microscopic level and even estimate their hardness, strength, and other fundamental characteristics by employing new and advanced technologies. In the construction execution process, construction joints are utilized to make construction work more accessible. Constructing joints would have a significant impact on concrete compressive strength. Construction joints are found in all concrete buildings [10]. Clay is a fine-grained natural soil material composed mostly of clay minerals. Clay is the most inorganic common raw material used in the products of ceramics, and they are produced commonly using traditional techniques. Most clay minerals are white or light in color, although natural clays may be brownish due to impurities like iron oxide. Clay nanoparticles’ research is focused on studying cement-based materials composition and fracture mechanisms [11, 12]. Clay nanoparticles’ major function is to increase the tensile strength of the concrete, decrease oxygen permeability, and improve heat resistance in the concrete. Clay nanoparticles are the ones that help to make cementitious materials stronger. The mechanical behavior of nano-enabled cement is strengthened by clay nanoparticles [13]. By improving the intersectional zone in cement and providing higher density concrete, nanoparticles will create an excellent filler effect. Clay nanoparticles improve the bulk strength of the concrete, commonly known as the structural packing model. The addition of clay nanoparticles to increase the strength of conventional concrete is discussed experimentally by Norhasri et al. [14]. Recent work on the Casson nanofluids by considering different aspects are seen in [15, 16].
Heat is a type of energy that may have been transferred from one region to another. Many manufacturing and industrial operations use heat transfer, such as heating phenomena, cooling chambers, drying processes, and engines [17–19]. Radiation, conduction, and convection are the three modes for transferring heat. Variations in ambient conditions, such as temperature, can cause a change in buoyancy forces and, as a result, a change in flow regime, which leads to a change in the governing correlation. The practical use of such correlations would be significantly enhanced if they could be used in a wide range of different ambient conditions. Similarly, mass transfer refers to the net movement of species from one place to another. The relative motion of species in a mixture due to concentration gradients is referred to as mass transfer. High-pressure pumps, filtering of crude oil, fractional distillation, and petrochemical refinement are only a few of the modern sciences and technologies that are using it. Mass transfer processes include evaporation, absorption, distillation, precipitation, filtration, and crystallization, to mention a few [20]. To better explain the process of moisture transport in clays during the drying process is experimentally investigated by Gong et al. [21]. Mainly due to the extraction of crude oil and other applications from the pores of the storage rocks, fluid flow through a porous media has been of significant interest in recent literature. Ali et al. [22] examined the impact of a vertical plate implanted in a porous media with changing surface temperature, concentration, and velocity on the flow of a water-based Brinkman-type nanofluid. Recently, Kataria and Patel [23] studied the influence of radiation and chemical reactions on Casson fluid flow passing through a porous media oscillating vertical plate. In polymer and chemical production equipment, the mass transfer effect is significant and has a wide range of applications [24]. Khan et al. [25] investigated the influence of mass in intermittent microwave convective drying modeling. Blood purification in the kidneys and liver, pond water evaporation, and alcohol distillation are a few examples of mass transfer phenomena. In non-Newtonian fluids, it plays a vital role in industries, pharmaceuticals, and biological processes [26–29].
Although, the uniform wall conditions are mostly used in the literature [30]. But many physical situations can not be described using these conditions. Such situations as nuclear heat transfer control, the process of various materials, heat transfer in turbines, some electric circuits, and heat transfer in buildings [31], need variable conditions. These variable conditions at the wall are termed ramped wall temperature. Due to the applications of the ramped wall conditions, Chandran et al. investigated the natural convection flow of fluid with ramped wall temperature [20]. The free convection laminar flow with ramped wall conditions is investigated by [32, 33], Seth et al. [34] examined radiative heat transfer in MHD flow by considering the impact of a porous material and a plate with a ramped wall temperature. When a system comes into contact with an external thermal reservoir, the isothermal process begins, and the change in the system occurs slowly enough for the system to continue to adapt to the reservoir’s temperature through heat exchange. Boiling water is an isothermal process because the temperature of the water remains constant at 100°C even though the addition of heat to the system as the water reaches its boiling point. The method is known as the isothermal wall temperature process [31].
Gallites and Lilausis [35] designed an electromagnetic actuator to provide crossing magnetic and electric fields that would suitably provoke the parallel Lorentz forces on the wall. When magnets and electrodes are alternatively connected with each other. These combinations of magnets and electrodes are known as Riga plates. In this electric and magnetic field, a transverse Lorentz force is produced, which contributes to the flow of the plate [36]. Riga plate in combination with Casson nanofluids flows has industrial and civil engineering applications. It also reduces the turbulence, making it possible to achieve effective control of flow as examined by Nasrin et al. [37]. Using Riga plate, submarines can achieve lower pressure drag by reducing surface friction and skin friction instead of boundary layer separation. The flow of nanofluid over the Riga plate with the effect of heat absorption and melting was reported by [38]. Pantokratoras and Magyari investigated many features of laminar fluid flow induced by the Riga plate [39]. Adeel et al. [40] investigated the mixing of boundary layers nanofluid flow generated by the Riga plate. By preventing boundary layer separation, the Riga plate may be useful for reducing drag [41]. One can find the applications of the Riga plate in the studies [42–54] and the references therein.
There is no study that has been reported in the published literature to find the closed form solutions for the EMHD Casson nanofluid flow in a porous medium over a vertical Riga plate with ramped wall temperature conditions. The objective of this study is to fill this research gaps by finding the exact solutions for the flow of a Casson nanofluid past through a vertical Riga plate embedded porous medium. The effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction of the first order are also considered in this problem. Furthermore, the suspended nanoparticles (clay) in the base fluid (concrete) are taken. This study provides how the binding and tensile strength of the cementitious materials increase by adding clay nanoparticles in concrete. This work also provides to compare the ramped wall and isothermal boundary conditions graphically for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The Laplace transform method has been used to get the exact solutions to this problem. The tabular representation shows the impacts of different embedded parameters on Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and skin friction.
2 Mathematical formulation
In the present research, the flow of unsteady, incompressible Casson nanofluids and buoyancy-driven through a semi-infinite vertical Riga-plate with ramped and constant wall conditions is investigated. The plate is taken along the x-axis. Assume that the Riga plate is initially at rest. The fluid occupies the space. Hence, the fluid temperature and concentration remain unchanged in the surrounding conditions. After a time, the Riga plate suddenly accelerates up vertically, gaining a constant velocity . is the notation that is used to indicate the frequency of oscillations that are produced by the plate. When impulsive motion occurs, temperature, concentration, and velocity change. Similarly, the plate’s temperature and concentration eventually increase to and , when . For a time, the fluid concentration and temperature remain constant, and there will be no change occurring. Assuming the above-mentioned assumptions, the flow regime’s continuity equation and dimensional governing equations are presented below [37, 55].

4 Results and discussion
In this paper, the investigation of the exact solutions of unsteady Casson nanofluid passing through a vertical Riga plate with ramped and isothermal boundary conditions on the wall is carried out. Suspended clay nanoparticles in the base fluid (concrete) are taken. The property of the clay nanoparticles is to decrease oxygen permeability and increase the tensile strength of the base fluid. An analysis of the graphical results shows how different embedded parameters affect the velocity profile, temperature distribution, and concentration distribution. The geometry of the problem is shown in Figure 1. The effect of different parameters on the velocity profile is shown in the Figures 2–7. In Figure 8 the impact of different parameters on temperature profile have been depicted. Finally, in the Figures 9,10, the influence of various embedded parameters on concentration profiles is graphically illustrated.

The effect of volume fraction on the fluid velocity is shown in Figure 2A. When the volume fraction parameter is increased, the fluid velocity in the case of ramped and isothermal wall temperature decreases. Volume fraction causes the fluid’s velocity to become denser, which decelerates the flow. Figure 2B shows that, as the permeability parameter increases, the resistance between the pores and the moving fluid is reduced, resulting in fluid velocity rising. Physically, this behavior is true because as the porosity of the medium rises, the frictional forces between the medium and the fluids drop, and the velocity of the nanofluid increases. Figures 3A,B show that how the different values of Grashof number and mass Grashof number affect the velocity distribution. As and are the ratio of buoyancy forces to the viscous forces. Since raising the and values reduce the viscous forces, which increased the velocity. The influence of the Casson fluid parameter on the velocity distribution is seen in Figure 4A. The graph shows that when increases, nanofluid velocity rises. Physically, an increase in decreases the momentum boundary layer thickness which causes the enhancement in velocity. In addition, non-Newtonian behavior gradually disappears and the Casson fluid approaches to Newtonian fluid at higher magnitudes of.
Figure 4B illustrates the influence of the radiation parameter on the velocity profile. It is shown that uplifting radiation leads to improvement in velocity. Physically, it is due to a rise in the rate of energy transmission to the fluid as the amount of the radiation parameter rises, and therefore the fluid velocity increases. Figure 5A, indicates the relationship between nanofluid velocity and phase angle when all other parameters are fixed. As can be seen from the graph, raising the values of causes the fluid velocity to improve. The influence of Schmidt number on the velocity profile is illustrated in Figure 5B. When is increased, It has been observed that the velocity of the Casson nanofluid is decreasing. Schmidt number is the ratio between momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) and mass diffusivity. Greater values of causes viscous forces to increase while reducing mass diffusion, and as result retardation occurs in the velocity profile. The influence of the modified Hartmann number on the velocity profile is seen in Figure 6A. It can be observed that the Lorentz force is directed along with the mainstream velocity. Therefore the magnitude of the Lorentz force increases with increasing values of , which strengthens the boundary layer, and consequently the velocity increases. This behavior of on the velocity is witnessed identical to that of Loganathan and Deepa’s conclusions [28]. Figure 6B shows that with the negative values of the modified Hartmann number, the velocity of the fluid is reduced. Physically the negative value of the modified Hartmann number is opposing the fluid flow. The influence of on the fluid velocity is presented in Figure 7A. Physically, is the ratio between the viscosity of the fluid and the momentum of the plate which is a function of magnets and electrodes width. Raising the values of causes the viscosity of the fluids to enhance while reducing the velocity of the fluids. The influence of a chemical reaction parameter on the velocity distribution is displayed in Figure 7B. A reduction in nanofluid velocity results from increasing the chemical reaction parameter . This is due to the fact that the fluid becomes denser cases retardation in velocity.
The influence of time on temperature distribution is seen in Figure 8A. It is clear from the figure that temperature distribution varies according to the values assigned to in the range in the case of RWT. While remaining constant in the case of IWT. These results given in Figure 8A are in accordance with the boundary conditions for temperature in Eq. 21, which shows the validity of our obtained general solution for temperature. Figure 8B shows how the volume fraction parameter behaves on a temperature profile. As can be seen in the figure, raising reduces the temperature distribution [34, 58]. Figure 8C illustrates that uplifting radiation parameter the temperature distribution drops. This behavior may be expected as the rate at which radiation is emitted from the fluid is inversely proportional to the fluid’s temperature.
The influence of time on the concentration profile is seen in Figure 9A. It is clear from the figure that the concentration profile varies according to the values assigned to in the range in the case of RWC. While IWC remains constant. These results given in Figure 9A are in accordance with the boundary conditions for concentration in Eq. 21, which shows the validity of our obtained general solution for concentration. Figure 9B shows how the volume fraction parameter behaves on a concentration profile. It can be observed that the concentration distribution drops for greater values of volume fraction . This is because increasing the values of when the viscous forces increase, the concentration distribution slows. The effects of Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter on the distribution of concentrations are seen in Figures 10A,B respectively. In each of these figures, it can be observed that the concentration distribution drops for greater values of Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter . This is because the ratio between mass diffusion and viscous forces is referred to as the Schmidt number. Mass diffusion decreases as rises, having caused viscous forces to increase, which results in decreases in the distribution of concentration. On the other extreme, by uplifting chemical reaction parameter values result in retard in the concentration distribution has been seen. Because of the fluid’s reaction, the concentration profile drops as the fluid’s species rises.
Table 1 shows the thermo-physical properties of base fluid (concrete) and Clay nanoparticles. Table 2 depicts the changes in skin friction caused by various parameter values in both ramped and isothermal wall temperatures. The increasing values of, ,,, and increase the skin friction. Similarly, for greater values of ,,, and decreases the skin friction. The findings show that the addition of 4% clay nanoparticles increased the skin friction up to 7.04 percent in instance of ramped wall temperature (RWT), and 11.13 percent in instance of isothermal wall temperature (IWT). Due to an increase in skin friction, the tensile strength of the cementitious materials enhance. This result is noteworthy since it allows for faster compaction of cementitious materials and generally increases the mechanical and long-term durability properties of the base fluid concrete. Table 3 illustrates the variation in the Nusselt number caused by different volume fraction values in both ramped and isothermal wall temperatures. The greater values of increase the Nusselt number . Table 4 demonstrates the difference in the Sherwood number that results from using ramping and isothermal wall temperatures with various volume fraction values . The increasing values of decreases the Sherwood number .
