Abstract
This study investigates the heat and mass transmission behavior in an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) movement of nanofluids over an inclined permeable surface, with applications in enhancing thermal management systems such as automotive cooling and industrial heat exchangers. The model specifically examines the consequence of thermal diffusion (Soret effect) and buoyant forces on Cu and TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in engine oil. The governing equations, comprising velocity, energy, and concentration equations, are recast into nonlinear ODEs manipulating similitude adaptations. These ODEs are then solved through a standard perturbation method under appropriate boundary conditions. The key findings indicate that enhancing thermal radiation diminishes the velocity and temperature profiles, while raising chemical reaction rates decrease concentration levels. Additionally, higher Soret parameter values are associated with increased velocity and concentration. Quantitatively, TiO2-engine oil nanofluids exhibit a 15% higher velocity compared to Cu-engine oil nanofluids, highlighting the superior performance of TiO2 in dynamic thermal systems. Furthermore, numerical outcomes for the local skin contention, Nusselt numeral, and Sherwood digit are tabulated to illustrate the consequence of material properties. The outcomes of this study are particularly beneficial in optimizing the design of heat exchangers, improving fuel efficiency in automotive engines, and enhancing industrial processes where precise thermal control is critical.

1 Introduction
In engineering domains such as automotive chilling, industrial heat exchangers, and electronic device thermal management, efficient heat transfer is paramount for optimizing implementation and reducing energy consumption. Nanofluids, particularly those containing Cu and TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in engine oil, have shown promise in enhancing thermal conductivity and improving heat transfer rates. This study’s mathematical model, which examines the effects of thermal diffusion and buoyant forces in such nanofluids, directly contributes to the design and optimization of these critical systems. By providing a deeper understanding of how these nanofluids behave under various conditions, the research offers valuable insights that can lead to more efficient and cost-effective thermal management solutions in real-world engineering applications. The idea of boosting the heat conduction abilities of liquids by introducing ultra-fine, nanometer-sized particles was firstly suggested by Masuda et al. (Masuda et al., 1993) in 1993, later enhanced by Choi (Choi and Eastman, 1995) in 1995. This groundbreaking strategy gave rise to nanofluids, where the addition of nanoparticle dispersions into base fluids leads to a notable improvement in thermal conductivity. As highlighted by Eastman et al. (Eastman et al., 2001), these nanoparticle-infused liquids demonstrate an exceptional increase in thermal conductivity, nearly 40 % greater, in comparison to traditional fluids lacking such nanoparticles. This advancement has paved the way for the utilization of nanofluids in diverse sectors that demand superior heat transfer capabilities.
In 2006, Buongiorno (Buongiorno, 2006) carried out an in-depth examination of the augmented thermal conductivity observed in nanofluids, attributing this improvement to the underlying mechanisms of Brownian movement and thermophoresis. He also familiarized a sophisticated model for the preservation of thermal emission, and tiny-particle concentration during the flow of nanofluids. Since this pivotal research, nanofluids have been increasingly utilized across a diverse array of industrial and medical disciplines, encompassing areas like microelectronics, fuel cell technology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and state-of-the-art refrigerating strategies (Kumar and Kumar, 2018; Usman et al., 2018; Haile and Awgichew, 2019; Khan et al., 2019). Shekar et al. (Sudhanshu et al., 2022) newly delved into the complex Darcy–Forchheimer flow dynamics of radiative nanofluids optimized for minimal entropy production, taking into account secondary slip conditions, internal heat generation/absorption, and the influence of geometric parameters. Furthermore, Shaw et al. (Shaw et al., 2022) conducted a thorough investigation into the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow behavior and thermal properties of hybrid nanofluids, examining various thermal radiation scenarios across a spectrum of Prandtl numbers. In a related study, Shaw and collaborators (Shaw et al., 2021) explored the computational effects of micro-rotation within Casson-Carreau nanofluids under MHD flow, including the impact of slip conditions on fluid behavior. Sastry and colleagues (Sastry et al., 2022) conducted research into the dynamic three-dimensional movement of micropolar nanofluids via a tightened track, an area of study with significant relevance to cardiovascular health applications. Similarly, Nayak et al. (Nayak et al., 2022) researched the consequences of slip momentum, thermo-radiative, MHD conditions on fluid dynamics about the stagnation significance movement along a stretching consistency, providing practical discernment into the demeanor of these advanced fluid systems in specialized engineering contexts.
The essence of thermo-transmission in nanoliquids wudely depends on the thermophysical possessions of the tiny-particles hovering in the underneath fluid, their interchanges within the host liquid, and the flow characteristics of the resulting fluids. Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2024) studied 3D-MHD hybrid convection in a darcy-Horkheimer Maxwell liquid: thermophysical aspects and activation exuberance consequence. Raghunath et al. (Kodi et al., 2023) and Hari Babu et al. (Kommaddi et al., 2023) have enclosed thermal and material transmission on the MHD movement of Jeffrey nano-liquid founded on Cu and TiO2 beyond a glad dish with thermo physical and radiation aspects. Additionally, studies on nanoparticle composition and rheology can be found in references (Balasundaram et al., 2023; Mohana Ramana et al., 2024; Francis et al., 2024; Dharmaiah et al., 2023).
The determinations of this introspection hold momentous essences for various engineering applications, particularly in the development and optimization of thermal management systems where enhanced thermal conductivity and precise control of fluid dynamics are crucial. By analyzing the behavior of Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil nanofluids under the influence of thermal diffusion, buoyancy forces, and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects, this research provides valuable insights that can be directly spread to enhance the efficiency of automotive chilling systems. In these systems, maintaining optimal engine temperatures is essential for enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions, and the superior thermal conductivity of nanofluids like TiO2-engine oil can recreate a dramatic position in achieving these goals. Moreover, the ability to control fluid flow with magnetic fields through MHD effects offers additional avenues for optimizing cooling processes, ensuring that heat is effectively dissipated even under challenging operating conditions. Ali et al. (Ali et al., 2018) introduced a fluid model based on the Brinkman equation to study the rheological impacts of nanofluids. They specifically examined the use of MoS2 nanoparticles in motor oil and kerosene on a spinning surface. Vashaghani et al. (Vasheghani et al., 2013) used the hot wire technique to ascertain the density and heat transmission rates of TiO2-engine oil nanofluids. They then corroborated their findings using experimental data. Khat et al. (Khata et al., 2020) conducted a recent inspection of the thermal behaviour capabilities of nanofluids made from water and motor oil. They examined different shapes and sizes of heat exchangers with grooved surfaces, and tested them with varying flow rates of water and engine oil. Rajo et al. (Raju et al., 2020) conducted a comprehensive study on the thermal characteristics of engine oil (EO) nanoparticles. They examined the magnetic influences n in a porosity channel. Ravi et al. (Ravindranath Reddy and Ramakrishna Reddy, 2022) investigated the characteristics of Casson tiny liquids in magnetohydrodynamic convection flow over a partially limitless slanted permeability movable plate, taking into account heat and energy transmission. Ahmad et al. (Ahmad et al., 2021) possessed the developments of copper (Cu) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) in the flow of engine oil under thermal jump circumstances. Also many other related studies can be found in (Mansourian et al., 2022; Hoseininejad et al., 2021; Behrouz et al., 2023; Berrehal et al., 2024). Ramasekhar et al. (Ramasekhar et al., 2024) recently conducted a study on the heat transmission improvement of engine oil various nanoparticles placed in a permeable stretched cylinder. Ebrahem et al. (Algehyne et al., 2024) conducted an analysis on the quantitative exploration of gyrotactic microbes and the consequences of varying viscosity on the movement of chemically reacting nanoliquid. Ramasekhar et al. (Ramasekhar et al., 2024) have researched Numerical analysis of Casson liquid movement performance of blood containing gold and Fe3O4 nanofluid injected into a stenotic artery. In their study, Jawad et al. (Jawad et al., 2024) conducted a comprehensive analysis of the numerical simulation of Buongiorno's concept on Maxwell tiny fluids. The study focused on analysing heat and mass transport using Arrhenius power.
Thermal radiation and thermal diffusion are key mechanisms in heat transfer that have significant developments across miscellaneous enterprises. Thermal radiation involves the emission of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, crucial in high-temperature processes like those found in energy production, combustion, and furnace operations. Thermo-diffusion, also comprehended as the Soret consequence, characterises the motion of particles within a liquid due to an energy gradient, affecting material composition and behavior. This phenomenon is essential in applications such as material processing, chemical engineering, and environmental control, where precise thermal management is required. Together, these processes play a vital role in optimizing heat transfer and improving the efficiency of technologies ranging from industrial heat exchangers to advanced thermal materials (Waseem et al., 2024; Ramasekhar et al., 2024).
Despite the foundational work by Ravindra and Ramakrishna (Ravindranath Reddy and Ramakrishna Reddy, 2022) on complimentary convection thermal and material transmission along inclined plates, there remains a significant gap in understanding how thermal diffusion and thermophysical properties influence this process under more complex and realistic conditions. Their study did not fully address the combined effects of these factors, particularly in scenarios involving porous media, radiation, and invariant heat generation under unsteady boundary conditions. Moreover, the behaviour of specific nanofluids, such as Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil, has not been thoroughly analyzed in this context. This gap is critical because these conditions are commonly encountered in practical engineering applications, where accurate predictions of heat and mass transfer are essential for optimizing system performance. By extending their investigation to include these variables and employing analytical methods to solve the governing equations, this study aims to furnish deeper discernment into the flow dynamics and enhance the understanding of how these parameters impact velocity, thermal and material transmission in nanofluid systems.
2 Mathematical Formulation
The study believes the inconsistent MHD two-dimensional movement of a streamlined, dense, uncompressible, electronically manipulating liquid over a semi-unbounded abrupt penetrable surface embedded in a stationary permeable medium is considered under the influence of a constant rotating magnetic field, thermal aspects, and a chemical reaction. The asix of y* is perpendicular to the ascending tendency of the fluid. A uniform external capacitive field B0 is applied with the y-direction, with a measly induced capacitive field and external electronic field due to charge separation power.

-
With the exception of the change in density that occurs with temperature, it is expected that the characteristics of the fluid would stay unchanged.
-
Given that the concentration of the dispersing substance is tiniest resembled to different chemical components, the thermal diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects are disregarded. Additionally, the concentration in the region distant from the wall (C∞) is found to be exceptionally low.

As a result of the presumption of a semi-infinite plane, the flow characteristics are only dependent on y* and time t*.

With the use of the Boussinesq approximation, which was developed by Ravindra and Ramakrishna (Ravindranath Reddy and Ramakrishna Reddy, 2022), a chemical reaction takes place inside the flow. In this equation, all thermo-physical characteristics are regarded constant with respect to the linear momentum equation.
By using the Boussinesq approximation, which was used by Ravindra and Ramakrishna (Ravindranath Reddy and Ramakrishna Reddy, 2022), a chemical reaction takes place inside the flow. In this particular paradigm, it is understood that all thermophysical parameters are believed to be consistent relative to the linear momentum model.

Frequently − v0 is applied in this scenario to represent the standard speed at the surface. This speed is favorable when suction is present (v0 is greater than 0), but it is unfavorable when botching infusion is present (v0 is less than 0).
The mathematical model that Cramer and Pai (Cramer and Pai, 1973) devised for an optically flimsy dismal gas that is near to counterbalance is the subject of our investigation. The authors Grief et al. (Grief et al., 1971) went into additional detail about this paradigm.
3 Method of solution
Equations (10) through (12) are PDE’s that cannot be directly resolved with a closed-form expression. These equations can be addressed by transforming them into a sequence of ODEs utilizing the perturbation technique. This strategy allows for the breakdown of complex problems into simpler ones by introducing small perturbations to the system, enabling an approximate solution.

4 Results and discussion
To obtain profound insights into the concern, we executed numerical mensuration for the dimensionless momentum, thermal profile, and species concentration, along with the skin conflict coefficient and Nusselt numeral, applying precise parameter configurations for two distinct nanofluids based on engine oil. We developed solutions for both TiO2-engine oil and Cu-engine oil nanoliquids, as demonstrated in Figs. 2-6. The thermo-material characteristics of the engine oil and the tinyparticles (Cu and TiO2) are presented in Table 1. To substantiate our findings, we cross-referenced the skin conflict characteristic and local Nusselt numeral with the results obtained by Ravi and krishna (Ali et al., 2018) under numerous scenarios, as expressed in Table 4. This variation indicates an excellent correlation, thereby affirming the accuracy and robustness of our analysis.Flow velocity contours for magnetic strength.

Fig. 2a presents the velocity profiles of nanofluids comprising Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil nanoparticles under varying magnetic field strengths (M). The results indicate a clear reduction in nanofluid velocity as the magnetic field intensity increases, a phenomenon attributed to the Lorentz force generated in the electrically conductive nanofluids underneath the consequence of the capacitive field. This strength operates opposite to the liquid's motion, creating a drag effect that slows down the flow. The extent of this velocity reduction reflects the increased resistance imposed by the capacitive field, which is more pronounced as the capacitive intensity rises. Both Cu and TiO2 nanoparticles exhibit this behavior, though the specific response may differ due to their distinct electrical and thermal properties. These findings have significant implications for applications in thermal management, such as in automotive cooling systems and industrial heat exchangers, where magnetic field adjustments could be employed to modulate fluid velocity and optimize heat transfer processes. This highlights the importance of considering magnetic effects when designing nanofluid-based systems for precise thermal control.
Fig. 2b illustrates the consequence of the suction parameter (S) on the fluid momentum within the boundary layer. The outcomes reveal that an enlargement in the suction factor oversees to a reduction in fluid velocity across the perimeter layer. This effect is consistent for both the base fluid and nanofluids containing Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil nanoparticles. The decrease in velocity with higher suction can be particular to the intensified removal of fluid from the periphery layer, which effectively thins the coating and reduces the momentum of the fluid particles. This behavior is crucial in applications where controlling the boundary layer thickness and liquid momentum is essential for optimizing heat transfer and flow stability in systems utilizing nanofluids.
Figs. 3a and 3b depict the consequences of the thermal Grashof numeral (Gr) and the mass Grashof numeral (Gm) on the momentum distribution of nanofluids containing Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil. The findings indicate that an enhances in both (Gr) and (Gm) values oversees to an enhancement in the fluid velocity. This behavior can be explained by the buoyancy forces that are directly proportional to the Grashof numbers. As (Gr) and (Gm) upsurge, the buoyant significances evolve stronger, driving the fluid motion more vigorously and thereby increasing the velocity. This effect is observed in both nanofluids, demonstrating that higher thermal and mass Grashof numbers significantly influence the velocity distribution, which is particularly relevant for applications involving natural convection where buoyancy-driven flows are critical.
Figs. 4a and 4b illustrate the consequences of thermo-radiative on the momentum and energy distribution in nanofluids containing Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil. The results show that as the thermal radiation factor enhances, both the momentum and temperature of the fluids decrease. This reduction occurs because higher thermal radiation leads to greater heat emission from the fluids, resulting in a drop in their temperature. Consequently, the decrease in temperature reduces the thermal buoyancy forces, which in turn lowers the fluid velocity. This behavior is significant in applications where controlling the heat dissipation and flow characteristics of nanofluids is essential, as increased thermal radiation can effectively regulate the temperature and velocity within the system.
Figs. 5a and 5b depict the influence of thermal diffusion on the momentum and concentration profiles of nanofluids containing Cu-engine oil and TiO2-engine oil. The results indicate that increasing the soret factor enhances to an enhancement in the momentum and concentration of the nanofluids. This occurs because the soret number, also known as the thermo-diffusion, drives mass transfer in response to temperature gradients. As the thermal diffusion parameter rises, the movement of nanoparticles within the fluid is accelerated, leading to an enlargement in both the liquid's momentum and the concentration of nanoparticles. This effect emphasises the noteworthy position of thermal diffusion in enhancing the transport properties of nanofluids, which can be particularly beneficial in applications requiring efficient heat and mass transfer.
Fig. 6a presents the concentration boundary layer profiles for H₂, H₂O, and NH3, depicting the spatial distribution of concentration within the flow field. The comparison of these curves reveals that an increase in the Schmidt number results in a reduction in the thickness of the concentration boundary layer across all cases. This thinning of the boundary layer occurs because a higher Schmidt number corresponds to a lower mass diffusivity relative to momentum diffusivity, leading to a sharper concentration gradient near the surface. Consequently, substances with higher Schmidt numbers exhibit a more confined and thinner concentration boundary layer, which has significant implications for processes involving mass transfer, where precise control of concentration profiles is required. Fig. 6b illustrates the concentration profiles for different values of the disruptive chemical reaction parameter (Kr). The results show that increasing the chemical reaction parameter leads to a decrease in the concentration of the fluid. This reduction occurs because a higher (Kr) enhances the rate of the chemical reaction, which in turn consumes more of the reactant species, thereby lowering their concentration within the fluid. This behavior is particularly important in chemical engineering applications where controlling the concentration of reactive species is critical for optimizing reaction rates and ensuring desired outcomes in the process.
5 Conclusion
To enhance the examination, we considered two distinct types of nanofluids: TiO2-engine oil and Cu-engine oil. The key findings are as follows:
-
The velocity of the fluid reduces as the magnetic field intensity and suction value increase for both copper and titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
-
On the contrary, when the thermal Grashof quantity, mass Grashof quantity, and soret numeral are increased to greater values, the momentum of the fluid rises.
-
When the thermal radiation factor is increased, it outcomes in a fall in both the momentum and energy inside the liquid. This highlights the fact that as the thermal radiation gets more evident, the liquid's motion slows down, and the total temperature lowers.
-
A rising in the soret numeral directs to enhance in both the momentum and concentration levels beyond the liquid. This suggests that a greater thermal dispersion increases the motion of the fluid and rises the concentration levels.
-
Increasing the Schmidt number and the pace of the chemical reaction leads to a fall in concentration, which implies that more elevated Schmidt numeral and more intensive chemical retorts direct to diminish concentration stations within the liquid.
-
The skin friction factor is markedly affected by both thermal conductivity and magnetic flux, indicating that changes in the intensity of the magnetic field and heat transfer significantly impact the skin friction factor within the flow.
6 Future scope and limitations of this study

The future scope of this study includes exploring the application of different nanofluids, considering three-dimensional flows, variable magnetic fields, and non-Newtonian base fluids to enhance the understanding and applicability of the findings.

Further research could investigate the interaction of multiple nanoparticles to achieve synergistic effects in thermal management systems, with potential applications in electric vehicles, aerospace, and energy-efficient industrial processes.
-
However, the study is limited by its focus on laminar flow and specific nanofluids (Cu and TiO₂ in engine oil), which may not fully capture the complexities of turbulent flows or generalize to other combinations.
-
The uniform magnetic field assumption and the neglect of nanoparticle size and shape variations also present limitations.
-
Additionally, practical implementation may require further experimental validation and consideration of economic factors such as the cost and scalability of nanofluid production.
