The ongoing work investigates the features of Joule heating and convective condition over a magnetohydrodynamic stagnation point flow of [Formula: see text] nanofluid moving across a curved surface. Moreover, mass suction is supposed through the stretching/shrinking surface. The initially developed model of partial differential equations is transformed into the ordinary ones assisted by suitable similarity variables. Subsequently, the ultimate nonlinear model of ordinary differential equations is solved with the help of a built-in function bvp4c package in MATLAB. Several graphical results are plotted to see the influence of various dimensionless parameters over the velocity, temperature, heat transfer, and friction drag. We found that there exists an escalation in temperature with increasing values of curvature, Eckert number, Hartmann number, and Biot number; however, the velocity profile declines with large curvature, ratio parameter, and high concentration of nanoparticles. It is also important to note that the friction drag rises with the mass suction, and reduces with vast curvature, whereas the rate of heat transfer improves with suction and Biot number but lowers with Eckert number and Hartmann number.

The suspension of tiny solid particles inside the energy transport liquids could enhance their thermal conductivity as well as provide an efficient and inventive approach to significantly improve their properties of heat transport. Therefore, our aim is to explore the radiative two-dimensional unsteady flow of a viscous nanofluid about an aligned magnetic field that includes the joint effect of suction, velocity slip, and heat source across a porous convective stretching/shrinking surface. Initially, using non-dimensional variables, the nonlinear governing partial differential equations (PDEs) were transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which were subsequently solved with the help of bvp4c built-in package in MATLAB. The results declare that escalating the values of the unsteadiness parameter escalates the friction drag whereas it reduces with the escalation of the slip parameter. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate escalates with the escalation of radiation and concentration parameter, and the escalation of the heat source parameter causes to reduce the heat transfer rate. Finally, it is found that the rate of heat transfer and friction drag continuously improve and decline against the rising rates of stretching, respectively.

This article addresses MHD nanofluid flow induced by stretched surface. Heat transport features are elaborated by implementing double diffusive stratification. Chemically reactive species is implemented in order to explore the properties of nanofluid through Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Activation energy concept is utilized for nano liquid. Further zero mass flux is assumed at the sheet’s surface for better and high accuracy of the out-turn. Trasnformations are used to reconstruct the partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Homotopy analysis method is utilized to obtain the solution. Physical features like flow, heat and mass are elaborated through graphs. Thermal stratified parameter reduces the temperature as well as concentration profile. Also decay in concentration field is noticed for larger reaction rate parameter. Both temperature and concentration grows for Thermophoresis parameter. To check the heat transfer rate, graphical exposition of Nusselt number are also discussed and interpret. It is noticed that amount of heat transfer decreases with the increment in Hartmann number. Numerical results shows that drag force increased for enlarged Hartmann number.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse numerically the steady stagnation-point flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid over continuously non-aligned stretching or shrinking surface in its own plane in a water-based nanofluid which contains three different types of nanoparticles, namely, Cu, Al2O3 and TiO2. Design/methodology/approach – Similarity transformation is used to convert the system of boundary layer equations which are in the form of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. The system of similarity governing equations is then reduced to a system of first-order differential equations and solved numerically using the bvp4c function in Matlab software. Findings – Unique solution exists when the surface is stretched and dual solutions exist as the surface shrunk. For the dual solutions, stability analysis has revealed that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and physically realizable, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable. The effect of non-alignment is huge for the shrinking surface which is in contrast with the stretching surface. Practical implications – The results obtained can be used to explain the characteristics and applications of nanofluids, which are widely used as coolants, lubricants, heat exchangers and micro-channel heat sinks. This problem also applies to some situations such as materials which are manufactured by extrusion, production of glass-fibre and shrinking balloon. In this kind of circumstance, the rate of cooling and the stretching/shrinking process play an important role in moulding the final product according to preferable features. Originality/value – The present results are original and new for the study of fluid flow and heat transfer over a stretching/shrinking surface for the problem considered by Wang (2008) in a viscous fluid and extends to nanofluid by using the Tiwari and Das (2007) model.

In this study, the MHD effect on boundary layer rotating flow of a nanofluid is investigated for the multiple branches case. The main focus of current research is to examine flow characteristics on a nonlinear permeable shrinking sheet. Moreover, the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of the problem considered are reduced into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the appropriate similarity transformation.  Numerical results based on the plotted graphs are gotten by solving ODEs with help of the three-stage Labatto IIIA method in bvp4c solver in MATLAB. To confirm numerical outcomes, current results are compared with previously available outcomes and found in good agreement. Skin friction coefficients, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, velocity profiles, temperature profiles, and concentration profiles are examined. The results show that dual (no) branches exist in certain ranges of the suction parameter i.e., SSc (SSc). Further, profiles of velocity decrease for rising values of Hartmann number in the upper branch, while reverse trend has been noticed in a lower branch. Profiles of temperature and concentration enhance for the increasing values of thermophoresis in both branches. stability analysis of the branches is also done and noticed that upper branch is a stable branch from both branches. Finally, it is noted that the stable branch has symmetrical behavior with regard to the parameter of rotation.

AbstractIn this paper, the heat transfer properties in the three-dimensional (3D) magnetized with the Darcy-Forchheimer flow over a shrinking surface of the $$Cu + Al_{2} O_{3} /$$ C u + A l 2 O 3 / water hybrid nanofluid with radiation effect were studied. Valid linear similarity variables convert the partial differential equations (PDEs) into the ordinary differential equations (ODEs). With the help of the shootlib function in the Maple software, the generalized model in the form of ODEs is numerically solved by the shooting method. Shooting method can produce non-unique solutions when correct initial assumptions are suggested. The findings are found to have two solutions, thereby contributing to the introduction of a stability analysis that validates the attainability of first solution. Stability analysis is performed by employing if bvp4c method in MATLAB software. The results show limitless values of dual solutions at many calculated parameters allowing the turning points and essential values to not exist. Results reveal that the presence of dual solutions relies on the values of the porosity, coefficient of inertia, magnetic, and suction parameters for the specific values of the other applied parameters. Moreover, it has been noted that dual solutions exist in the ranges of $$F_{s} \le F_{sc}$$ F s ≤ F sc , $$M \ge M_{C}$$ M ≥ M C ,$$S \ge S_{C} ,$$ S ≥ S C , and $$K_{C} \le K$$ K C ≤ K whereas no solution exists in the ranges of $$F_{s} > F_{sc}$$ F s > F sc , $$M < M_{c}$$ M < M c , $$S < S_{c}$$ S < S c , and $$K_{C} > K$$ K C > K . Further, a reduction in the rate of heat transfer is noticed with a rise in the parameter of the copper solid volume fraction.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative investigation for incompressible electrically conducting nanofluid fluid through wall jet. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiple-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are considered as the nanoparticles. To record the effect of Lorentz forces, a magnetic field is applied normally with the assumption that the induced magnetic field is negligible. Design/methodology/approach Boundary layer approximation is used to convert governing equations into ordinary differential equations along with appropriate boundary conditions. To obtain the results, used homotopy analysis method (HAM) has been used as an analytical technique and to validate the obtained results a famous numerical Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method is also exploited. It has been observed that the results obtained through both of the methods are in excellent agreement with exact solution. Findings The Hartmann number is used as controlling parameter for velocity and temperature profile. That can be recorded as its extended values help to normalize the velocity, whereas it controls the rapid increase in temperature. The temperature profile is boosted by increasing the value of the Biot number, a physical parameter. Similarly, it also increases for an increased percentage of volume fraction of particles (SWCNTs/MWCNTs). The Hartmann number plays an important role in decreasing local skin friction coefficient. The influence of the Biot number and volume fraction of nanoparticles caused similar increasing effects on the local Nusselt number. Nanoparticles of the form SWCNT provide better heat transfer as compared to MWCNTs. Influence of the Biot number and volume fraction of nanoparticles caused similar increasing effects on the local Nusselt number. Nanoparticles of the form SWCNT provide better heat transfer as compared to MWCNTs. Originality/value To gain insight into the problem, the effects of various emerging parameters and physical quantities such as Biot number, Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient, have been explored.

In this study, we examined the biomagnetic flow and heat transfer of an incompressible electrically conductive fluid (blood) containing gold nanoparticles over a stretching sheet in the presence of a magnetic dipole. In this problem, both principles of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and ferrohydrodynamics (FHD) were adopted. Biot number and slip and suction parameters were taken into consideration. The nonlinear partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary differential equations by implementing similarity transformations. The numerical solution was attained by utilizing the bvp4c function technique in MATLAB R2018b software. The influence of pertinent parameters involved in this model, such as ferromagnetic parameter, magnetic field parameter, Grashof number, Eckert number, suction parameter, Biot number, slip parameter and Prandtl number, on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, skin friction and heat transfer rate were analyzed numerically and are represented graphically. Among the numerous results, it was observed that increment in ferromagnetic parameter and Prandtl number results in decrement of the velocity and temperature, respectively. For some values of the parameters, a comparison with the results of other documents in the literature is also made.

In this paper the effect of unsteady, incompressible, magneto hydrodynamics filled with electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid in an infinite vertical Couette porous channel wall embedded in a porous medium is analyzed. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the channel wall. The temperature of the moving channel wall varies periodically and the temperature difference between the two infinite vertical channel walls is high due to thermal radiation. The Eckert number is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the flow to the temperature difference of the channel walls. The solution of the governing equations is obtained using regular perturbation techniques. These techniques are used to transform partial differential equations that are difficult to solve in closed form. These equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations in dimensionless form so can be solved analytically. The effects of physical parameters Viz. Hartmann number, Viscoelastic parameter, Eckert number, Permeability of porous medium, Chemical reaction parameter, thermal Grashof number for heat transfer, modified Grashof number for mass transfer, frequency parameter and Schmidt number on flow parameters Viz., velocity, temperature and concentration has been discussed and shown graphically. The theoretical results have been supported by MATLAB code simulation study. The results show that velocity decreases with increasing values of frequency, Hartmann number and viscoelastic parameter but reverse effect is observed with temperature, thermal Grashof number, modified Grashof number and permeability of porous medium. Furthermore, The result shows that an increment in both thermal radiation parameter and Eckert number results in decrement of temperature near the moving porous channel wall while it approaches to a zero in the region close to the boundary layer of the stationary channel wall,. An increment in both chemical reaction and Schmidt number results in decreasing concentration. The velocity of fluid increases as Grashof number and modified Grashof number increases.

In nanotechnology research, nanofluid technology contributes many applications to engineering applications and industry, such as power generation, solar collection, heat exchangers for cooling, and many more. However, there are still a few constraints in terms of heat transfer enhancement, although nanofluid properties show the best heat transfer rate compared with conventional fluids. Thus, this study was conducted for the purpose of investigating the behaviors of flow and heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a permeable exponentially shrinking surface, as well as investigating the effects of a magnetic field and heat source/sink. This study was conducted by developing a mathematical model, which was the Tiwari–Das model for momentum and energy equations, and then transforming the model’s partial differential equations (PDEs) to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using a similarity solution. Next, these equations were solved numerically using the MATLAB bvp4c boundary value problem solver. The authors particularly explored these behaviors with a few variations. Based on the results obtained, it was found that dual solutions exist in a specific range of the shrinking case, and that the critical point also exists in a range of −1.5 < < −1 with different parameters. For the heat source/sink effect, the Nusselt number was higher when heat sink case ε < 0, whereas it decreased when the heat source case ε > 0. Therefore, this study deduced that the heat transfer rate of hybrid nanofluid (CNTs/Cu–water) is better than regular nanofluid (CNT–water) and conventional fluid (water). The present study took into consideration the problem of MHD flow and heat transfer analysis of a hybrid nanofluid towards an exponentially shrinking surface with the presence of heat source/sink and thermal radiation effects. The authors show that dual solutions exist within a specific range of values due to the shrinking case. The current work is predicted to have numerous benefits in equivalent real-world systems.
