PurposeIn this paper, we studied the steady flow of a radiative magnetohydrodynamics viscoelastic fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet. This present work incorporated the effects of Soret, Dufour, thermal radiation and chemical reaction.Design/methodology/approachAn appropriate semi-analytical technique called homotopy analysis method (HAM) was used to solve the resulting nonlinear dimensionless boundary value problem, and the method was validated numerically using a finite difference scheme implemented on Maple software.FindingsIt was observed that apart from excellence agreement with the results in literature, the results obtained gave further insights into the behaviour of the system.Originality/valueThe purpose of this research is to investigate heat and mass transfer profiles of a MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over an exponentially stretching sheet in the influence of chemical reaction, thermal radiation and cross-diffusion which are hitherto neglected in previous studies.

This work is focused on the numerical solution of unsteady double-diffusive free convective flow along a vertical isothermal cylinder in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, first-order homogeneous chemical reaction, thermal radiation and Soret and Dufour effects. The Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The governing equations are formulated and a numerical solution is obtained by using an explicit finite-difference scheme. The solutions at each time step have been found to reach the steady state solution properly. Representative results for the fluid velocity, temperature and solute concentration profiles as well as the local heat and mass transfer rates for various values of the physical parameters are displayed in both graphical and tabular forms.

The present study investigates numerically MHD flow near the stagnation point of micropolar fluid through a shrinking sheet containing nanoparticles under the influence of chemical reaction and external heat. The study is an attempt to investigate the flow behaviour of micropolar nanofluid because of its importance in heat transfer process in industries as well as cooling systems. The governing equations are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by implementing similarity transformations. Numerical results are investigated in the form of figures and tables by using MATLAB built in solver bvp4c for various dimensionless parameters. The impacts of external heat parameter on temperature and chemical reaction factor on concentration of the nanofluid are illustrated in the form of graphs. It is observed that the temperature of the nanofluid and nanoparticle volume distributions increase when Biot number attain larger values. Rise in Thermophoretic parameter increases the nanoparticles concentration in the boundary layer. Numerical data are presented for Nusselt number and Sherwood number.

Abstract An analysis is presented to study the effects of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, viscous and Joule dissipation on MHD free convection flow between a pair of infinite vertical Couette channel walls embedded in a porous medium. The fluid flows by a strong transverse magnetic field imposed perpendicularly to the channel wall on the assumption of a small magnetic Reynolds number. The governing non linear partial differential equations are transformed in to ordinary differential equations and are solved analytically. The effect of various parameters viz., Eckert number, electric conductivity, dynamic viscosity and strength of magnetic field on temperature profile has been discussed and presented graphically.
