A numerical analysis was performed for the mathematical model of boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluids. Heat and mass transfer were analyzed for an incompressible electrically conducting fluid with viscous dissipations and chemical reaction past a stretching sheet. An appropriate set of similarity transformations were used to transform the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is solved numerically by using shooting method. A detailed discussion on the effects of various physical parameters and heat transfer characteristics was also included.

The steady two-dimensional radiative MHD boundary layer flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid caused by a nonisothermal linearly stretching sheet placed at the bottom of fluid saturated porous medium in the presence of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction is studied. The governing system of partial differential equations is converted to ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformations, which are then solved by shooting method. The dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration are computed for different thermophysical parameters, namely, the magnetic parameter, permeability parameter, radiation parameter, wall temperature parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction.

In this analysis, effects of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation on an electrically conducting boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer of a fluid through a porous medium over a stretching sheet in the presence of heat source/sink is considered. The symmetry groups admitted by the corresponding boundary value problem are obtained by using symmetric transformations. These transformations are used to convert the partial differential equations of the governing equations into self-similar non-linear ordinary differential equations. These transformed ODEs are solved by employing Runge-Kutta fourth order with shooting method. Numerical results obtained for different thermo-physical parameters characterizes the flow phenomena are drawn graphically and effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed. Numerical computation for skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also obtained and presented in Tables.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate steady two-dimensional laminar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid past over a linearly stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity transformations. Then the ODEs are solved by applying Runge-Kutta fourth order method accompanied with shooting technique. The effects of various physical parameters characterizing the flow phenomenon including Deborah number, ratio of relaxation to retardation times, magnetic parameter, porous parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, heat source / sink parameter, Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter on dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed. The numerical results are obtained and presented in graphs. The present results are compared with the earlier published results as a particular case.

In this paper, an analysis is made for the unsteady flow due to an expanding cylinder in a nanofluid that contains both nanoparticles and gyrotactic microoganisms with suction. The nonlinear system of partial differential equations is transformed into high-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations, and then solved numerically using a shooting method with fourth-fifth-order Runge–Kutta integration technique. The influences of significant physical parameters on the distributions of the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, as well as the density of motile microorganisms are graphically presented and discussed in detail. It is found that dual solutions exist for both stretching and shrinking cases and the range of dual solutions increases with the strength of the expansion. The results also indicate that larger bioconvection Peclet number and smaller Schmidt number lead to an increased concentration of microorganisms and thicker boundary layer thickness.

The applications of fluid flow with Newtonian heating effect include conjugate heat conveyance around fins, petroleum industry, and heat exchangers designing. Motivated from these applications, an attempt has been made to analyze the stream of viscous nanomaterial subjected to a curved stretching sheet. Also, heat and mass transport mechanism due to a chemical reaction, Brownian and thermophoresis motion are discussed. The equations of the mathematical model are formulated by considering the Newtonian heating and Stefan blowing conditions at the boundary. These modelled equations are then changed to a system of nonlinear equation involving ordinary derivatives of a function by means of suitable similarity transformations. Further, shooting technique with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-45 process is utilized to solve the reduced equations. Outcomes disclose that, the gain in Stefan blowing parameter escalates the liquid velocity. The intensification in chemical reaction rate parameter deteriorates the concentration gradient. The rise in Schmidt number and thermophoresis parameter drops the mass transfer rate. The increased values of Newtonian heating parameter with respect to thermophoresis parameter decays the heat transport rate.

The steady flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a semi-infinite moving vertical cylinder in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is analyzed. The partial differential equations governing the flow are reduced to an ordinary differential equation, using the self-similarity transformation. The analysis deals with the existence of an exact solution to the boundary value problem by a shooting method.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the steady 2D buoyancy effects on MHD flow over a permeable stretching sheet through porous medium in the presence of suction/injection. Design/methodology/approach Similarity transformations are employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically by a shooting technique. Findings The working fluid is examined for several sundry parameters graphically and in tabular form. It is observed that with an increase in magnetic field and permeability of porous parameter, velocity profile decreases while temperature and concentration enhances. Stretching sheet parameter reduces velocity, temperature and concentration, whereas it increases skin friction factor, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. Originality/value Till now no numerical studies are reported on the effects of heat source and thermal radiation on MHD flow over a permeable stretching sheet embedded in porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction.

Abstract The main focus of the present study is to analyze the effect of chemical reaction and nonlinear thermal radiation on Maxwell fluid suspended with nanoparticles through a porous medium along horizontal stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations of the defined problem are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using adequate similarity transformations. Obtained set of similarity equations are then solved with the help of efficient numerical method fourth fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The effects of different flow pertinent parameters on the flow fields like velocity, temperature, and concentration are shown in the form of graphs and tables. The detailed analysis of the problem is carried out based on the plotted graphs and tables. It is observed that an increase in the radiation parameter, temperature ratio parameter, Brownian motion parameter and thermophoretic parameter lead to increase in the thermal boundary layer thickness but quite opposite phenomenon can be seen for the effect of Prandtl number.

Effects of viscous dissipation, heat source, thermal diffusion and chemical reaction on demixing of a binary mixture of incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluids in two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow on a vertical stretching surface are investigated. The momentum, energy and concentration equations are reduced to non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations and are solved numerically by using MATLAB’s built in solver bvp4c. These numerical results are exhibited graphically from which it has been found that the effects of various parameters are to separate the components of the binary mixture by collecting the lighter and rarer component near the plate and throwing the heavier one away from it.
