The objective of this paper is to study the mixed convective nonsimilar flow above an exponentially stretching sheet saturated by nanofluid. The leading partial differential equations (PDEs) of the problem have been modified towards dimensionless nonlinear PDEs utilizing newly proposed nonsimilarity transformations. Furthermore, local nonsimilarity procedure up to-second truncation has been operated to change the dimensionless PDEs into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). MATLAB-based algorithm bvp4c is used to observe the consequences of the distinct parameters namely Prandlt number [Formula: see text], magnetic field [Formula: see text], Lewis number [Formula: see text], Brownian motion [Formula: see text], Eckert number [Formula: see text], thermophoresis [Formula: see text] on velocity, concentration and temperature distribution are shown in graphical portray. Additional outcomes presume the heat penetration into the fluid enhances with increase in Biot number and Brownian motion. Increasing values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cause decrease of temperature profile.

In this study we analyzed the magnetohydrodynamic forced convective flow of a nanofluid over a slendering stretching sheet in porous medium in presence of thermal radiation and slip effects. We presented dual solutions for no-slip and Navier slip conditions. Using self similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using bvp5c Matlab package. The effects of dimensionless governing parameters on velocity and temperature profiles of the flow are discussed with the help of graphs. Numerical computations are carried out and discussed for skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number. We found an excellent agreement of the present results with the existed results under some special conditions. Results indicate that the dual solutions exist only for certain range of velocity slip parameter. It is also found that the heat transfer performance is high in presence of velocity slip effect.

Abstract The present investigation concentrates on three dimensional unsteady forced bio-convection flow of a viscous fluid. An incompressible flow of a micropolar nanofluid encloses micro-organisms past an exponentially stretching sheet with magnetic field is analyzed. By employing convenient transformation the partial differential equations are converted into the ordinary differential equations which are non-linear. By using shooting method to solved these equations numerically. The influence of the determining parameters on the velocity, temperature, micro-rotation, nanoparticle volume fraction, microorganism are incorporated. The skin friction, heat transfer rate, and the microorganism rate are analyzed. The results depicts that the value of the wall shear stress and Nusselt number are declined while an enhancement take place in the microorganism number. The slip parameters increases the velocity, thermal energy, and microorganism number consequentially. The present investigation are important in improving achievement of microbial fuel cells.

An attempt has been made to study the heat and mass transfer effect in a boundary layer MHD flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid subject to transverse magnetic field on an exponentially stretching sheet through porous medium. The effect of thermal radiation and heat source/sink has also been discussed in this paper. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with a shooting technique. Graphical results are displayed for nondimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles while numerical values of the skin friction local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented in tabular form for various values of parameters controlling the flow system.

The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated in the model in the presence of both heat and nanoparticle mass transfer Biot Number effect. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into highly nonlinear, coupled, multi-degree non-similar partial differential equations consisting of the momentum, energy and concentration equations via. Appropriate non-similarity transformations. These transformed conservation equations are solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions with a second order accurate finite difference method of the implicit type. The influences of the emerging parameters i.e. Casson fluid parameter (?), Brownian motion parameter (Nb) and thermophoresis parameter (Nt), Lewis number (Le), Buoyancy ratio parameter (N ), Prandtl number (Pr) and Biot number (Bi) on velocity, temperature and nano-particle concentration distributions is illustrated graphically and interpreted at length.  Validation of solutions with a Nakamura tri-diagonal method has been included. The study is relevant to enrobing processes for electric-conductive nano-materials of potential use in aerospace and other industries.

Abstract Current article is devoted with the study of MHD 3D flow of Oldroyd B type nanofluid induced by bi-directional stretching sheet. Expertise similarity transformation is confined to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary nonlinear differential equations. These dimensionless equations are then solved by the Differential Transform Method combined with the Padé approximation (DTM-Padé). Dealings of the arising physical parameters namely the Deborah numbers β1 and β2, Prandtl number Pr, Brownian motion parameter Nb and thermophoresis parameter Nt on the fluid velocity, temperature and concentration profile are depicted through graphs. Also a comparative study between DTM and numerical method are presented by graph and other semi-analytical techniques through tables. It is envisage that the velocity profile declines with rising magnetic factor, temperature profile increases with magnetic parameter, Deborah number of first kind and Brownian motion parameter while decreases with Deborah number of second kind and Prandtl number. A comparative study also visualizes comparative study in details.

The proposed investigation concerns the impact of inclined magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in a Casson axisymmetric Marangoni forced convective flow of nanofluids. Axisymmetric Marangoni convective flow has been driven by concentration and temperature gradients due to an infinite disk. Brownian motion appears due to concentration of the nanosize metallic particles in a typical base fluid. Thermophoretic attribute and heat source are considered. The analysis of flow pattern is perceived in the presence of certain distinct fluid parameters. Using appropriate transformations, the system of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is reduced into non-linear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Numerical solution of this problem is achieved invoking Runge–Kutta fourth-order algorithm. To observe the effect of inclined MHD in axisymmetric Marangoni convective flow, some suitable boundary conditions are incorporated. To figure out the impact of heat/mass phenomena on flow behavior, different physical and flow parameters are addressed for velocity, concentration and temperature profiles with the aid of tables and graphs. The results indicate that Casson fluid parameter and angle of inclination of MHD are reducing factors for fluid movement; however, stronger Marangoni effect is sufficient to improve the velocity profile.

In this article, the semi-analytical/numerical technique known as the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to derive solutions for partial slip effects on the heat transfer of nanofluids over a stretching sheet. An accurate analytical solution is presented which depends on the Prandtl number, slip factor, Lewis number, Brownian motion number, and thermophoresis number. The variation of the reduced Nusselt and reduced Sherwood numbers with Brownian motion number, and thermophoresis number for various values Prandtl number, slip factor, Lewis number is presented in tabular and graphical forms. The results of the present article show the flow velocity and the surface shear stress on the stretching sheet and also reduced Nusselt number and reduced Sherwood number are strongly influenced by the slip parameter. It is found that hydrodynamic boundary layer decreases and thermal boundary layer increases with slip parameter. Comparison of the present analysis is made with the previously existing literature and an appreciable agreement in the values is observed for the limiting case.

Abstract Hydromagnetic flow of water based nanofluids over a nonlinearly stretching sheet in the presence of velocity slip, temperature jump, magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, thermophoresis and Brownian motion has been studied. The article focuses on Cu water nanofluid and Ag water nanofluid. The similarity transformation technique is adopted to reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then they are solved numerically utilizing the Nachistem – Swigert shooting method along with the fourth order Runge Kutta integration technique. The influence of physical parameters on the flow, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction are presented through graphs. Also the values of the skin friction coefficient at the wall and nondimensional rate of heat transfer are given in a tabular form. A comparative study with previous published results is also made.
