Thermodynamical attributes of non-Newtonian fluids over stretched surfaces have gained pervasive essence due to extensive utilization in extruding plastic sheet procedures, liquid film condensation, glass blowing, paper production, biopolymer cylinder coatings, and so forth. So, currently communication is aimed to candidly explicate flow characteristic of Prandtl fluid generated by axial stretching of cylindrical surface. Mathematical modelling by using conservation laws of momentum, energy and concentration fields containing the aspects of magnetic field, convective heating, and chemical reaction are presented initially in the form of partial differential expressions. Later on, these attained PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations with implementation of similarity variables. Numerical approach renowned as shooting technique with improved coefficient of the Runge–Kutta (R–K) method by Cash and Karp is used to access accurate solution. Linear curved fitting analysis is also performed to analyze results. Influence of flow-controlling parameters on associated profiles is revealed through graphical visualization. Stream line plots representing flow behavior of Prandtl fluid versus different magnitudes of the curvature parameter are adorned. Variation in friction drag force at wall, heat flux, and concentration gradient are evaluated through numerical data and with interpolation of linear curved fittings. It is deduced from results that increasing curvature parameter momentum and temperature distributions enriches whereas skin-friction coefficient depicts reverse pattern. It is also inferred that temperature shows incrementing deviation in the absence of chemical reaction whereas concentration profiles exhibit reduction with consideration of influence of chemical reaction parameter. Magnetic field tends to reduce the velocity and create thinness of boundary layer thickness.

Abstract Current communication candidly explicates entropy generation process generated due to natural convective heating in square enclosure saturated with nanofluid. Water is used as base fluid and Cu particles are induced to depict enhancement in thermo physical characteristics. Natural convection in enclosure is produced by providing temperature difference on boundaries. Upper wall is provided uniform temperature while rest of walls are kept cold. Impermeability and non-slip conditions are imposed on all walls. Mathematical structuring of considered problem is manifested via continuity, momentum and energy equations under appliance of inclined magnetic field. Thermo physical properties of nanoparticles along with base liquids are used during mathematical structuring. Finite element procedure is adopted to elucidate flow features. Discretization of domain is done by applying hybrid meshing. Velocity and isothermal plots are drawn against concerning parameters. Comprehensive description of energy generation by measuring variation in magnetic, viscous, total and thermal irreversibility’s are also presented. Cut lines representing velocity field in horizontal and vertical direction are also drawn to predict flow behavior at different locations.

The effects of radiation and chemical reactions, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on free convective flow and mass transfer of an optically dense viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical isothermal cone surface are investigated. The nonlinear boundary-layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number are given; as well, the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented for a Prandtl number of 0.7, the chemical-reaction parameter, the order of the reaction, the radiation parameter, the Schmidt number, the magnetic parameter, and the surface temperature parameter.

Purpose This study aims to focus on second grade fluid flow over a rotating disk in the presence of chemical reaction. Uniform magnetic field is also taken into account. Because of the smaller magnetic Reynolds number, induced magnetic field is negligible. Heat equation is constructed by considering heat source/sink. Design/methodology/approach Suitable variables are used to transform nonlinear partial differential equations to ordinary ones. Convergent series solutions are attained by applying homotopy analysis method. Findings Trends of different parameters on concentration, velocity and temperature are shown graphically. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are calculated and investigated under the effect of elaborated parameters. An elevation in the value of magnetic field parameter causes collapse in the velocity distributions. Velocity distribution in increasing function of viscoelastic parameter. Temperature and concentration profiles are decreasing functions of viscoelastic parameter. Concentration distribution reduces by increasing the chemical reaction parameter. There is more surface drag force for larger M, while opposite behavior is noted for β. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, such consideration is yet to be published in the literature.

In the present work, two dimensional flow of a hyperbolic tangent fluid with chemical reaction and viscous dissipation near a stagnation point is discussed numerically. The analysis is performed in the presence of magnetic field. The governing partial differential equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformation. The resulting higher order non-linear ordinary differential equations are discretized by finite difference method and then solved by SOR (Successive over Relaxation parameter) method. The impact of the relevant parameters is scrutinized by plotting graphs and discussed in details. The main conclusion is that the large value of magnetic field parameter and wiessenberg numbers decrease the streamwise and normal velocity while increase the temperature distribution. Also higher value of the Eckert number Ec results in increases in temperature profile.

The steady flow behavior of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two parallel infinite insulated horizontal porous plates with heat transfer is investigated along with the effect of an external uniform transverse magnetic field, the action of inflow normal to the plates, the pressure gradient on the flow and temperature. The fluid viscosity is supposed to vary exponentially with the temperature. A numerical solution for the governing equations for both the momentum transfer and energy transfer has been developed using the finite difference method. The velocity and temperature distribution graphs have been presented under the influence of different values of magnetic inclination, fluid pressure gradient, inflow acting perpendicularly on the plates, temperature dependent viscosity and the Hartmann number. In our study viscosity is shown to affect the velocity graph. The flow parameters such as viscosity, pressure and injection of fluid normal to the plate can cause reverse flow. For highly viscous fluid, reverse flow is observed. The effect of magnetic force helps to restrain this reverse flow.

Transition to turbulence and changes in the fluid flow structure are subjects of continuous analysis and research, especially for unique fields of research such as the thermo-magnetic convection of weakly magnetic fluids. Therefore, an experimental and numerical research of the influence of an external magnetic field on a natural convection’s fluid flow was conducted in the presented research. The experimental part was performed for an enclosure with a 0.5 aspect ratio, which was filled with a paramagnetic fluid and placed in a superconducting magnet in a position granting the enhancement of the flow. The process was recorded as temperature signals from the thermocouples placed in the analyzed fluid. The numerical research enabled an investigation based not only on temperature, but velocities as well. Experimental and numerical data were analyzed with the application of extended fast Fourier transform and wavelet analysis. The obtained results allowed the determination of changes in the nature of the flow and visualization of the influence of an imposed strong magnetic field on a magnetic fluid. It is proved that an applied magnetic field actuates the flow in Rayleigh-Benard convection and causes the change from laminar to turbulent flow for fairly low magnetic field inductions (2T and 3T for ΔT = 5 and 11 °C respectively). Fast Fourier transform allowed the definition of characteristic frequencies for oscillatory states in the flow, as well as an observation that the high values of magnetic field elongate the inertial range of the flow on the power spectrum density. Temperature maps obtained during numerical simulations granted visualizations of thermal plume formation and behavior with increasing magnetic field.
