This article analyses the thermal decomposition in an unsteady MHD mixed convection flow of a reactive, electrically conducting Casson fluid within a vertical channel filled with a saturated porous medium and the influence of the temperature dependent properties on the flow. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible with the viscosity coefficient varying exponentially with temperature. The flow is subjected to an externally applied uniform magnetic field. The exothermic chemical kinetics inherent in the flow system give rise to heat dissipation. A technique based on a semi-discretization finite difference scheme and the shooting method is applied to solve the dimensionless governing equations. The effects of the temperature dependent viscosity, the magnetic field and other important parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, the wall shear stress and the wall heat transfer rate are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively and qualitatively. The fluid flow model revealed flow characteristics that have profound ramifications including the increased heat transfer enhancement attributes of the reactive temperature dependent viscosity Casson fluid flow.

The steady boundary layer viscous incompressible fluid flow on a permeable flat plate embedded in a porous medium has been considered in the present study. The momentum transport phenomena are subjected to external magnetic field, permeability of the porous medium and cross flow due to presence of suction and injection. Moreover, the heat transfer phenomena consider the loss of thermal energy due to radiation and mass transfer phenomena accounts for the generative/destructive chemical reaction of the reactive species as well. Most importantly, the temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity of the fluid makes the present study more realistic. The numerical solution presented through graphs brings out the interesting outcomes: The higher rate of suction enhances the fluid temperature. This observation is akin to the fact that the higher suction brings the molecules closure hence the heat transfer increases. The porous medium, embedding the plate, acts as a coolant by reducing the fluid temperature.

AbstractIn this paper, a numerical investigation is carried out to study the effect of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on heat transfer and slip flow of electrically conducting non-Newtonian nanofluids. The power-law model is considered for water based nanofluids and a magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction to the flow. The governing partial differential equations(PDEs) along with the slip boundary conditions are transformed into ordinary differential equations(ODEs) using a similarity technique. The resulting ODEs are numerically solved by using fourth order Runge-Kutta and shooting methods. Numerical computations for the velocity and temperature profiles, the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number are presented in the form of graphs and tables. The velocity gradient at the boundary is highest for pseudoplastic fluids followed by Newtonian and then dilatant fluids. Increasing the viscosity of the nanofluid and the volume of nanoparticles reduces the rate of heat transfer and enhances the thickness of the momentum boundary layer. The increase in strength of the applied transverse magnetic field and suction velocity increases fluid motion and decreases the temperature distribution within the boundary layer. Increase in the slip velocity enhances the rate of heat transfer whereas thermal slip reduces the rate of heat transfer.

Analytical approximations are developed to predict the effect of a temperature-dependent viscosity on convective heat transfer through liquids in fully developed turbulent pipe flow. The analysis expresses the heat transfer coefficient ratio for variable to constant viscosity in terms of the friction factor ratio for variable to constant viscosity, Tw, Tb, and a fluid viscosity-temperature parameter β. The results are independent of any particular eddy diffusivity distribution. The formulas developed here represent an analytical approximation to the model developed by Goldmann. These approximations are in good agreement with numerical solutions of the model nonlinear differential equation. To compare the results of these calculations with experimental data, a knowledge of the effect of variable viscosity on the friction factor is required. When available correlations for the friction factor are used, the results given here are seen to agree well with experimental heat transfer coefficients over a considerable range of μw/μb.
