The work of steady hydromagnetic stream of Casson liquid in a micro-channel constructed by two indefinite vertical proportionate walls in the appearance of thermal radiation is presented in this article. The effect of an imposed magnetic domain appearing scheduled to movement of an electrically administrating liquid is adopted into account. The exact solutions of the liquid velocity, imposed magnetic domain, and temperature domain have been obtained. Also, the analytical expressions for the skin-friction coefficient and imposed current density are obtained. The basic aspiration of this article is to reinvestigate the supremacy of pertinent physical constraints like magnetic Prandtl number, injection/suction parameter, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, rarefaction parameter, wall ambient temperature difference ratio, and liquid wall interaction parameter over the imposed magnetic field and velocity of the liquid. Lorentz force which is obtained from magnetic field has a propensity to decline the motion of liquid and imposed magnetic field. The imposed current density rises with an enhancement in the hydromagnetic Prandtl number. This study is applied in the machines like transformers, generators, and motors work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Results are compared with the literature in the limiting case.

An approximate solution to the problem of steady free convective MHD flow of an incompressible viscous electrically-conducting fluid over an infinite vertical isothermal porous plate with mass convection is presented here. A uniform magnetic field is assumed to be applied transversely to the direction of the flow, taking into account the induced magnetic field with viscous and magnetic dissipations of energy. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the series solution method. The induced magnetic field, current density, temperature gradient and flow velocity are studied for magnetohydrodynamic body force, magnetic Prandtl number, Schmidt number and Eckert number. It is observed that the induced magnetic field is found to increase with a rise in magnetic Prandtl number. Current density is strongly reduced with increasing magnetic Prandtl number, but enhanced with Schmidt number. The acquired knowledge in our study can be used by designers to control MHD flow as suitable for a certain applications such as laminar magneto-aerodynamics, and MHD propulsion thermo-fluid dynamics.

The analysis of MHD flow has been a concern of consideration for research scientists and engineers. In this treatise, the steady MHD flow of an incompressible and electrically conducting Casson fluid in a micro-channel with heat generation and viscous dissipation, in the presence of hydrodynamic slip and convective boundary conditions, is examined. Exact solutions of non-dimensional steady governing equations are obtained in closed form. Transient fluid velocity, temperature, entropy generation, and Bejan number are depicted by the line graphs whereas rate of heat transfer and skin-friction coefficient are computed in tabular form for pertinent flow parameters. It is established that the entropy generation rate and Bejan number increases for increasing values of the Casson parameter and heat generation parameter. In particular, the Casson parameter accelerates the skin-friction coefficient while it provides resistance to the rate of heat transfer near the channel walls. Casson fluid finds significant applications in biomechanics, polymer processing industries, and food processing.

The present study investigates the impacts of thermal radiation and inclined magnetic field on the Sutterby fluid by capitalizing Cattaneo-Christov heat flux system. The suitable transformations from partial differential equations (PDEs) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are achieved by capitalizing the strength of similarity conversion system. Well known numerical shooting technique is used along with integrated strength Runge Kutta method of fourth order. The proposed results are compared with Lobatto 111A method which strengthen the convergence and accuracy of present fluidic system. The skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are numerically exhibited in tabular form, while the parameter of interests in terms of velocity ratio parameter, power law index, the thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Deborah number, magnetic parameter. Here in this contemporary investigation, the phenomenon of thermal radiation on an inclined magnetic field using Sutterby capitalizing Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model has been discussed. The resulting complex nonlinear ODEs are tackled numerically by utilizing a famous shooting technique with the integrated strength of the Runge-Kutta method of fourth order. The obtained numerical results are compared with the MATLbuilt-in solver bvp4c. The numerical values of the skin friction coefficient and reduced Nusselt number are narrated in tabular form, while some proficient parameters like velocity ratio parameter, power-law index, Deborah number, magnetic parameter, inclined magnetic angle, the thermal radiation parameter, Reynolds number and Prandtl number on the velocity and temperature profiles have been discussed numerically as well as graphically. Outcomes of the proposed research show that by increasing the inclined angle, enhancement is seen in the skin-friction coefficient and reduces the Nusselt number. Moreover, by increasing the Reynolds number, the temperature profile declines initially and then moves upward in the channel. The stability and convergence of the proposed methodolgy in validated through residual errors based different tolerances.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider unsteady free convection flow of a dissipative fluid past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of Newtonian heating and mass diffusion. Design/methodology/approach – The problem is governed by coupled non-linear partial differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions. A Galerkin finite element numerical solution is developed to solve the resulting well-posed two-point boundary value problem. It is a powerful, stable technique which provides excellent convergence and versatility in accommodating coupled systems of ordinary and partial differential equations. Findings – It is found that the skin friction coefficient increases with increases in either of the Eckert number, thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number or time whereas it decreases with increases in either of the suction parameter, Schmidt number or the acceleration parameter for both air and water. The skin friction coefficient is also found to decrease with increases in the values of the Prandtl number. In addition, it is found that the rate of heat transfer increases with an increase in the suction parameter and decreases with an increase in the Eckert number for both air and water. Lastly, it is found that the rate of heat transfer increases with increasing values of the Prandtl number and decreases with increasing time for all values of the Prandtl number. Research limitations/implications – The present study has considered only Newtonian fluids. Future studies will address non-Newtonian liquids. Practical implications – A very useful source of information for researchers on the subject of free convective flow over the surface when the rate of heat transfer from the surface is proportional to the local surface temperature. Originality/value – This paper is relatively original and illustrates the effects of viscous dissipation on free convective flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical porous plate with Newtonian heating and mass diffusion.

Unsteady flow of Casson fluid past through a vertical channel has been studied by some researchers due to its importance of applications in science and technology. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to obtain exact solutions for unsteady free convection flows of Casson fluid with effects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) past through vertical channel. This paper is continued study from published article [18] with additional effects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Dimensional governing equations are converted into dimensionless forms by using appropriate dimensionless variables. Dimensionless parameters are obtained through dimensionless process such as Casson fluid, time, Prandtl number, Grashof number and magnetic field. Laplace transform method is used to solve the dimensionless equations with associated initial and boundary conditions. Solutions for velocity and temperature profiles are obtained. Skin friction and Nusselt number are also calculated. The obtained analytical results for velocity and temperature are plotted graphically to discuss the influence of dimensionless parameters on profiles. It is observed that fluid velocity increases with increases of Grashof number, Gr and time, t whereas it decreases with increases of Casson parameter, γ, magnetic field parameter, M and Prandtl number, Pr. Besides that, it is found that temperature profiles decrease with high value of Prandtl number, Pr while increases with high value of time, t. In order to validate the results, the obtained results in limiting cases are compared with the published results and it is found to be in a mutual agreement.

In this analysis, the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Casson fluid over a permeable stretching sheet in the presence of mass transfer is studied. Using similarity transformations, the governing equations are converted to ordinary differential equations and then solved through MATHEMATICA. The skin friction coefficient and local Sherwood number are analyzed through numerical values for various parameters of interest. The velocity and concentration profiles are illustrated for several pertinent flow parameters. We observed that the Casson parameter and Hartman number have similar effects on the velocity in a qualitative sense. We further analyzed that the concentration profile decreases rapidly in comparison to the fluid velocity when we increased the values of the suction parameter.
