Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of viscous fluid by curved stretching surface is presented in this paper. Heat and mass transfer analysis is studied with double stratification and thermal radiation effects. Joule heating is also taken into consideration. Basic equations of flow problem are obtained using curvilinear coordinates. The partial differential equations are reduced to the nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable transformations. Graphical results are shown and analyzed for the effect of different parameters on fluid characteristics. It is noted that thermal and solutal stratification parameters have opposite effect on temperature and concentration distributions. Magnitude of pressure, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number decreases for larger curvature parameter.

AbstractPresent exploration discusses the combined effect of viscous dissipation and Joule heating on three dimensional flow and heat transfer of a Jeffrey nanofluid in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation. Here the flow is generated over bidirectional stretching sheet in the presence of applied magnetic field by accounting thermophoresis and Brownian motion of nanoparticles. Suitable similarity transformations are employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth order method with shooting technique. Graphically results are presented and discussed for various parameters. Validation of the current method is proved by comparing our results with the existing results under limiting situations. It can be concluded that combined effect of Joule and viscous heating increases the temperature profile and thermal boundary layer thickness.

Purpose The purpose of this study is, mixed convection on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Eyring–Powell nanofluid over a stretching cylindrical surface in the presence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, heat generation and Joule heating effect is investigated and analyzed. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis phenomenon are used to model nanoparticles (Buongiorno’s model). Design/methodology/approach The numerical method is applied to solve the governing equations. Obtained results from the effects of different parameters changes on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are reported as diagrams. Findings As a result, velocity profile has been reduced by increasing the Hartman number (magnetic field parameter) because of the existence of Lorentz force and increasing Eyring–Powell fluid parameter. In addition, the nanoparticle concentration profile has been reduced because of increase in chemical reaction parameter. At the end, the effects of different parameters on skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are investigated. Originality/value Eyring–Powell nanofluid and MHD have significant influence on flow profile.
