A mathematical analysis has been carried out for stagnation-point heat and mass transfer of a viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet with surface slip velocity, concentration dependent diffusivity, thermal convective boundary conditions, and heat source/sink. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using Lie group analysis. Numerical solutions of the resulting ordinary differential equations are obtained using shooting method. The influences of various parameters on velocity, temperature, and mass profiles have been studied. Also, the effects of various parameters on the local skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number are given in graphics form and discussed.

An analysis is carried out to study the problem of heat and mass transfer flow over a moving permeable flat stretching sheet in the presence of convective boundary condition, slip, radiation, heat generation/absorption, and first-order chemical reaction. The viscosity of fluid is assumed to vary linearly with temperature. Also the diffusivity is assumed to vary linearly with concentration. The governing partial differential equations have been reduced to the coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using Lie group point of transformations. The system of transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved numerically using shooting techniques with fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Comparison between the existing literature and the present study was carried out and found to be in excellent agreement. The effects of the various interesting parameters on the flow, heat, and mass transfer are analyzed and discussed through graphs in detail. The values of the local Nusselt number, the local skin friction, and the local Sherwood number for different physical parameters are also tabulated.

With every passing day the heat transfer enhancement in the convectional base fluids plays a major role in several industrial and engineering processes. During these process nanofluids has attained its great importance to enhance the heat transfer rate in the convectional flows. Keeping this into view, in this study we investigated the stagnation point flow, heat and mass transfer behaviour of MHD Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching surface in the presence of induced magneticfield, non-uniform heat source or sink and chemical reaction. Using similarity technique, the governing boundary layer partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. The ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Felhberg scheme. An excellent agreement of the present results has been observed with the existed literature under some special cases. The effects of various dimensionless governing parameters on velocity, induced magneticfield, temperature and nanoparticle concentration profiles are discussed and presented through graphs. Also, friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed and discussed. Dual solutions are presented for suction and injection cases. It is found that dual solutions exist only for certain range of suction or injection parameter. It is also observed that an increase in the heat and mass transfer rate for higher values of Deborah number.

In this paper a hybridization of group method analysis, hypergraph Principle and rough set theory is established for extracting a set of rules to investigate heat and mass transfer of mixed convection stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian nanofluid towards a vertical stretching surface. First, the mathematical model describing the flow is transformed from a set of partial differential equations (PDEs) into non linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the aid of group method analysis. Thereafter, the implicit finite-difference scheme is applied to find the numerical solutions of the nonlinear ODEs and the numerical values are depicted in tabular form. Then the reduction technique based on rough set is applied to find all reducts of the decision tables. Finally, the principle of hypergraph is applied to determine the minimal transversal of reducts and mining a set of generalized rules to predict the value of local Nusselt number and local skin-friction coefficient. The results show that the proposed method can effectively predict these values with high accuracy and may be valuable in many engineering applications like power production, thermal extrusion systems and microelectronics.

This paper aims to present the numerical study of a dusty micropolar fluid due to a stretching sheet with constant wall temperature. Using the suitable similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations for two-phase flows of the fluid and the dust particles are reduced to the form of ordinary differential equations. The ordinary differential equations are then numerically analysed using the bvp4c function in the Matlab software. The validity of present numerical results was checked by comparing them with the previous study. The results graphically show the numerical solutions of velocity, temperature and microrotation distributions for several values of the material parameter K, fluid-particle interaction parameter and Prandtl number for both fluid and dust phase. The effect of microrotation is investigated and analysed as well. It is found that the distributions are significantly influenced by the investigated parameters for both phases.

This paper studies unsteady mixed convection boundary layer flow of heat and mass transfer past an inclined stretching sheet associated with the effect of periodical gravity modulation or g-jitter. The temperature and concentration are assumed to vary linearly with x, where x is the distance along the plate. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations using non-similarity transformation and solved numerically by Keller-box method. Numerical results for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented and analyzed for different values of inclination angle parameter.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a three-dimensional boundary layer flow with considering heat and mass transfer on a nonlinearly stretching sheet by using a novel operational-matrix-based method. Design/methodology/approach The partial differential equations that governing the problem are converted into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with considering suitable similarity transformations. A direct numerical method based on the operational matrices of integration and product for the linear barycentric rational basic functions is used to solve the nonlinear system of ODEs. Findings Graphical and tabular results are provided to illustrate the effect of various parameters involved in the problem on the velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle volume fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient. Comparison between the obtained results, numerical results based on the Maple's dsolve (type = numeric) command and previous existing results affirms the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Originality/value The motivation of the present study is to provide an effective computational method based on the operational matrices of the barycentric cardinal functions for solving the problem of three-dimensional nanofluid flow with heat and mass transfer. The convergence analysis of the presented scheme is discussed. The benefit of the proposed method (PM) is that, without using any collocation points, the governing equations are converted to the system of algebraic equations.

An analysis was carried out to study the effect of thermal radiation on magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics of a non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid near the stagnation point of a vertical stretching sheet in a porous medium with internal heat generation–absorption. The flow is generated because of linear stretching of the sheet and influenced by the uniform magnetic field that is applied horizontally in the flow region. Using a similarity variable, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations have been transformed into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using an accurate implicit finite difference scheme. A comparison of the obtained results with previously published numerical results is done and the results are found to be in good agreement. The effects of the viscoelastic fluid parameter, magnetic field parameter, nonuniform heat source–sink, and the thermal radiation parameter on the heat transfer characteristics are presented graphically and discussed. The values of the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are tabulated for both cases of assisting and opposing flows.
