The flow of Casson–Williamson fluid on a stretching surface is considered for the study. The movement of fluid is examined under the effect of external magnetic field, thermal radiation and chemical consequences. The model is formed by considering all the physical aspects responsible for the physical mechanism. The formed mathematical model (partial differential equation) is numerically solved after transforming it into an ordinary one (ordinary differential equation) via similarity invariants. The physical mechanism for velocity, temperature, and concentration is examined through the associated parameters like radiation index, Williamson and Casson parameter, suction/injection parameter, porosity index, and chemical reaction parameter.

This article studies effect of thermal radiation, chemical reaction and parabolic motion on the unsteady MHD Casson fluid flow past an infinite vertical plate embedded with ramped wall temperature. The fluid is electrically conducting and passing through a porous medium. This phenomenon is modeled in the form of partial differential equations with initial and boundary conditions. Some suitable non-dimensional variables are introduced and corresponding dimensionless equations are solved using the Laplace transform technique. Analytical expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are obtained. The features of the velocity, temperature and concentration are analyzed by plotting graphs and the physical aspects are studied for different parameters like the magnetic field parameter M, thermal radiation parameter R, chemical reaction parameter〖 R〗^', thermal Grashof number Gr, mass Grashof number Gm, Schmidt number Sc, Prandtl number Pr and time variable t. It is seen that velocity profiles decrease with increase in thermal radiation R and chemical reaction parameter〖 R〗^'.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the theoretical analysis of blood flow in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction under the influence of time dependent magnetic field intensity. Unsteady non linear partial differential equations of blood flow consider time dependent stretching velocity, the energy equation also accounts time dependent temperature of vessel wall and the concentration equation includes the time dependent blood concentration. The governing non linear partial differential equations of motion, energy and concentration are converted into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations solved numerically by applying ode45. The effect of physical parameters, viz., the permeability parameter, unsteadiness parameter, Prandtl number, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number on flow variables, viz., velocity of blood flow in vessel, temperature and concentration of blood, has been analyzed and discussed graphically. From the simulation study the following important results are obtained: velocity of blood flow increases with the increment of both permeability and unsteadiness parameter. The temperature of blood increases at the vessel wall as the Prandtl number and Hartmann number increase. Concentration of blood decreases as time dependent chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number increases.

Abstract An exact solution of an unsteady radiative flow past a uniformly accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion is presented here, taking into account the homogeneous chemical reaction of first order. The plate temperature as well as concentration near the plate is raised linearly with time. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform technique. The velocity, temperature and concentration fields are studied for different physical parameters such as the thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of the thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number. But the trend is just reversed with respect to the thermal radiation parameter. It is also observed that the velocity increases with the decreasing chemical reaction parameter

Numerical investigation of the effects of magnetic field strength, thermal radiation, Joule heating, and viscous heating on a forced convective flow of a non-Newtonian, incompressible power-law fluid in an axisymmetric stretching sheet with variable temperature wall is accomplished. The power-law shear-thinning viscosity-shear rate model for the anisotropic solutions and the Rosseland approximation for the thermal radiation through a highly absorbing medium is considered. The temperature-dependent heat sources, Joule heating, and viscous heating are considered to be the source terms in the energy balance. The non-dimensional boundary-layer equations are solved numerically in terms of similarity variable. A parameter study on the boundary value of chemical reaction and Nusselt number is performed as a function of thermal radiation parameter, Brinkman number, Prandtl number, Hartmann number, power-law index, heat source coefficient, Brownian parameter, thermophoresis parameter, and the chemical reaction parameter. The results show that the chemical reaction parameter has an increasing effect on the chemical reaction boundary while the magnetic, thermophoresis, and Brownian effects decrease the rate of the chemical reaction at the boundary.

This article is concerned with the study of heat and mass transfer of a MHD reactive flow of an upper-convected Maxwell fluid model over a stretching surface subjected to a prescribed heat flux with velocity slip effect in a Darcian porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and internal heat generation/absorption. The basic boundary layer governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme with shooting technique. The far field boundary conditions are asymptotically satisfied to support the accuracy of the numerical computations and the results obtained. The velocity, temperature and species concentration profiles are enhanced by increasing values of velocity slip parameter with Hartmann number, heat generation/absorption parameter and order of chemical reaction parameter respectively.  Increments in the values of velocity slip parameter, Hartmann number, rate of chemical reaction parameter and Prandtl number boost the wall shear stress, dimensionless surface temperature is increased by increasing values of Deborah number, heat generation/absorption and order of chemical reaction parameters while local rate of mass transfer is enhanced by increments in the values of Hartmann number, suction velocity, Darcian porous medium, rate of chemical reaction and velocity slip parameters. The presence of velocity slip on the flow distribution is found to be of great significance to the study.

This article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective heat, and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous, Boussinesq, electrically conducting fluid from a vertical plate in a sparsely packed porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and an nth order homogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and the diffusing species numerically. In this investigation, the fluid and porous properties like thermal and solutal diffusivity, permeability and porosity are all considered to be vary. The governing non-linear PDE's for the fluid flow are derived and transformed into a system of ODE's using an appropriate similarity transformation. The resultant equations are solved numerically using shooting technique and Runge-Kutta integral scheme with the help of Newton-Raphson algorithm in order to know the characteristics of the fluid for various non-dimensional parameters which are controlling the physical system graphically. The results of the numerical scheme are validated and a numerical comparison has been made with the available literature in the absence of some parameters and found that in good agreement.

PurposeIn this paper, we studied the steady flow of a radiative magnetohydrodynamics viscoelastic fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet. This present work incorporated the effects of Soret, Dufour, thermal radiation and chemical reaction.Design/methodology/approachAn appropriate semi-analytical technique called homotopy analysis method (HAM) was used to solve the resulting nonlinear dimensionless boundary value problem, and the method was validated numerically using a finite difference scheme implemented on Maple software.FindingsIt was observed that apart from excellence agreement with the results in literature, the results obtained gave further insights into the behaviour of the system.Originality/valueThe purpose of this research is to investigate heat and mass transfer profiles of a MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over an exponentially stretching sheet in the influence of chemical reaction, thermal radiation and cross-diffusion which are hitherto neglected in previous studies.
