Owing to the significant advancements in
contemporary technology, careful consideration has
been paid to examining the heat transfer properties
of squeezing flows in a variety of shapes. In
numerous scientific and engineering domains,
including polymer processing, food engineering,
injection molding, lubrication systems, foam
formation, blood flow inside vessels, cooling
towers, bi-axial expansion of bubble boundaries,
hydrodynamical machines, compression, moisture
migration, chemical engineering, dampers,
heating/cooling processes, and many more,
squeezed flows have many important practical and
industrial applications. Nonetheless, the squeezing
flow is caused by the typical stresses that are
applied to the moving surfaces or plates.
[1], [2], has a thorough overview of the
literature and applications related to squeezing
flows. The movement of the human body's
diarthrodial joints and valves, which is related to
the fields of mathematical bioengineering and
biomedicine, is another noteworthy illustration of
squeezing flow, [3]. In today's biological and
chemical technologies, sensors that use stretching
surfaces as sensing elements are crucial for
identifying a wide range of illnesses, dangerous
substances, and biological warfare elements. The
issues are addressed in practice by employing a
micro-cantilever that bends when target molecules
bind to one of its surfaces with the receptor coating.
It is evident that in practice, the micro-cantilever is
typically positioned in a film of thin fluidic cells
with an external squeezing disturbance; this
physical scenario of fluid motion over a micro-
cantilever is modeled as flow about a sensor
surface. Literature, [4], [5] provides a thorough
analysis of micro-cantilever, electrochemicals,
biosensors, and their applications in diverse
biomedical domains. Heat transfer problems,
however, have many scientific applications in the
field of engineering sciences, including conduction
of heat in tissues, thermal energy storage, laser
cooling, magnet, and radiative cooling, cooling of
nuclear reactors, metallurgical processes, space
cooling, and petroleum industries. By creating a
mathematical model, [6], significantly advanced the
field of squeezing flows in this approach. Later, a
lot of researchers carried on with Stefan's problem
by considering various geometries with appropriate
adjustments. The authors [7], assumed that the
length between the plates changed as the inverse
square root of time to study the thermodynamic
behavior of squeezed flow between two elliptic
parallel plates. Additionally, the two-point
boundary value problem was modeled in the
literature, [8] and is currently being solved utilizing
appropriate mathematical techniques such as the
homotopy analysis method (HAM) and
perturbation scheme. Their research demonstrates
that a boundary layer with very little viscosity
forms on the plates at higher squeezed number
values. The magnetized squeezing flow of a
viscous incompressible electrically conducting
fluid film created between two parallel discs was
investigated, [9]. Additionally, their research
assumes that the lower disc will rotate at a
temporary, arbitrary angular velocity. Additionally,
the typical Hermitian finite difference scheme is
used in the literature, [10], to produce numerical
solutions. Their analysis did reveal, however, that
the torque on the bottom disc is amplified by
increasing angular velocity and magnetic number
as well as by lengthening the distance between the
plates, which increases the load. In this work, [11],
investigated the problem of incompressible
rectilinear time-dependent, two-dimensional
magnetized viscous squeezed flow via an infinite
channel using a homotopy analysis approach. They
find that the viscous behavior of the fluid under
consideration can be explained by a diminishing
magnetic field. The analytical solution of the
squeezing flow between circular plates was
addressed in [12], using semi-numerical techniques
as the homotopy analysis method. Furthermore, the
crossflow behavior on the axial velocity profile is
shown by the improved Reynolds number. In this
work, [13], the authors used HAM to study the
issue of incompressible transient viscous squeezed
flow of two-dimensional fluid between two parallel
plates under the influence of chemical reaction and
viscous dissipation. According to the literature,
[13], the magnifying squeezing number raises the
momentum transmission coefficient and decreases
the concentration field. The magnetized time-
dependent, two-dimensional, incompressible, pair
stress microfluid flow between two parallel plates
with chemical reaction effects was established in
[14]. According to their research, the heat field
decreases as the squeezing flow parameter
increases. Additionally, in the solution regime, the
axial velocity profile displays the crossflow
behavior with greater magnetic parameter values.
