The velocity and thermal slip impacts on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow and heat transfer through a stretched thin sheet are discussed in the paper. The no slip condition is substituted for a new slip condition consisting of higher-order slip and constitutive equation. Similarity transformation and Lie point symmetry are adopted to convert the derived governed equations to ordinary differential equations. An approximate analytical solution is gained through the homotopy analysis method. The impacts of velocity slip, temperature jump, and other physical parameters on flow and heat transfer are illustrated. Results indicate that the first-order slip and nonlinear slip parameters reduce the velocity boundary layer thickness and Nusselt number, whereas the effect on shear stress is converse. The temperature jump parameter causes a rise in the temperature, but a decline in the Nusselt number. With the increase of the order, we can get that the error reaches 10 − 6 from residual error curve. In addition, the velocity contours and the change of skin friction coefficient are computed through Ansys Fluent.

AbstractIn this article, we discuss the flow and heat transfer of nanofluids over a rotating porous disk with velocity slip and temperature jump. Three types of nanoparticles – Cu, Al2O3, and CuO – are considered with water as the base fluid. The nonlinear governing equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations by Von Karman transformations and solved using homotopy analysis method (HAM), which is verified in good agreement with numerical ones. The effects of involved parameters such as porous parameter, velocity slip, temperature jump, as well as the types of nanofluids on velocity and temperature fields are presented graphically and analysed.

Nanofluid slip flow with distinct solid particles past a wedge with convective surface and high order slip is discussed in this paper. The wedge model is modified by considering the effects of Brownian motion and thermophphoresis together with the high order velocity slip and temperature jump. In this study, the governing fundamental equations are first transformed into third-order ordinary differential equations and solved by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Through error analysis and comparison with previous research, the effectiveness of HAM is ascertained, and the crucial influence of nanoparticles and high-order slip on the fluid skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient is analyed. Thermophphoresis parameter and suction/injection parameter are found to cause an increase in velocity and temperature. The rate of heat transfer in the Cu–water nanofluid is found to be higher than the others.

An investigation toward the existence of a complete similarity solution for boundary layer flows under the velocity slip and temperature jump conditions is carried out. The study is limited to the boundary layer flows resulting from an arbitrary freestream velocity U(x)=Uoxm and wall temperature given by Tw−T∞=Cxn. It is found that a similar solution exists only for m=1 and n=0, which represents stagnation flow on isothermal surface. This case has been thoroughly investigated. The analysis showed that three parameters control the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the problem. These parameters are the velocity slip parameter K1, the temperature jump parameter K2, and Prandtl number. The effect of these parameters on the flow and heat transfer of the problem has been studied and presented. It is found that the slip velocity parameter affects both the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the problem. It is found that the skin friction coefficient decreases with increasing K1 and most of changes in the skin friction takes place in the range 0<K1<1. The skin friction coefficient is found to be related to K1 and Rex according to the relation: Cf=3.38Rex−0.5(K1+1.279)−0.8 for 0<K1<5 with an error of ±4%. On the other hand, the correlation between Nu, K1, K2, and Pr has been found by the equation Nu=[(0.449+1.142K11.06)∕(0.515+K11.06)](K2+1.489Pr−0.44)−1, for 0<K1, K2<5, 0.7≤Pr≤5 within a maximum error of ±3%.
