In this article, a thermal analysis is conducted for the axisymmetric flow of viscous nanofluid induced by torsional motion of cylinder. Here the rotation of the cylinder is axially dependent. The impression of heat source/sink with chemical reaction is perceived on the thermal and concentration boundary layer, while the consequence of magnetic field is observed on the fluid flow. In addition, we utilized a two-phased model for nanofluids, namely Buongiorno's model to compute the outcomes of the Soret effect and Brownian diffusion. The non-dimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are obtained by employing the similarity transformation into governing partial differential equations (PDEs). We employed a built-in function, viz. bvp5c, a finite difference method in Matlab®, to solve the BVPs. The acquired results showed that the axial component of the velocity field occurred as a wall jet phenomenon, which is due to an axial pressure gradient. The axial flow and energy of the system are lessened; however, the peak of the wall jet is amplified for higher values of Reynolds number, but the converse trend is observed in the case of the magnetic parameter. The influence of pertinent parameters is also scrutinized for the wall-shear stress, local Nusselt, and Sherwood number for a selected range of Reynolds number, i.e., [Formula: see text] Furthermore, the consequences of the magnetic field have been succinctly observed on the flow, temperature, and concentration profiles. It is concluded that the magnetic field creates a resisting force that causes a reduction in the velocity fields, while temperature profile is enhanced because of the thermal conductivity of nanofluid. The impression of heat source/sink elevated the energy of system, whereas chemical reaction reduced the concentration field.

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.

Abstract In this paper, the influence of chemical reaction and heat source/sink on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) nanofluid flow that squeezed between two radiating parallel plates embedded in porous media is investigated analytically. We consider water as base fluid and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) as its nanoparticle. We reduced the basic partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations which are solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of the squeeze number, permeability parameter of porous media, Hartmann number, thermal radiation parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, Eckert number, Schmidt number, and scaled parameter of chemical reaction on the flow, heat, and mass transfer are considered and assigned to graphs. The physical quantities such as Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are computed for Al2O3–water, TiO2–water, Ag–water, and Cu–water nanofluids and assigned through graphs.

<p><em>This article deals with the effect of an inclined magnetic field with heat source/sink on the flow of nanofluids in a tapered asymmetric porous channel. Effect of chemical reaction has been taken into account. The blood is considered as an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid. The assumption of low Reynolds number and long wave length approximations has been adopted. Exact solutions for dimensionless axial velocity, concentration and temperature profile are obtained analytically. The obtained results are displayed and discussed in detail with the help of graphs for the variation of different emerging flow parameters.</em></p>


An examination is made to think about the impacts of the mass suction on the steady flow of 2-D magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flows and heat transfer past on a shrinking sheet with source/sink. In the dynamic framework, an-uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the plane of flow. The governing non-dimensional partial differential equations are changed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) using similarity transformations. The so derived ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using the MAT LAB solver bvp5c. From the keen examinations it is found that the velocity inside the boundary layer increments with increment of wall mass suction, magnetic field and reportedly the thickness of the momentum layer diminishes. There is a reduction in temperature as increases the Prandtl number. With heat source specifications, Hartmann number, heat sink parameter & the temperature increments are seen. Moreover, for strong heat source heat assimilation at the sheet happens.

We analyze the effect of velocity slip boundary condition on the flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluid over a stretching sheet with a heat source/sink, under the action of a uniform magnetic field, orientated normally to the plate. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are also considered. The boundary layer equations governed by the partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations with the help of local similarity transformations. The differential equations are solved by the variational finite element method (FEM). We have examined the effects of different controlling parameters, namely, the Brownian motion parameter, the thermophoresis parameter, uniform magnetic field, viscoelastic parameter, Prandtl number, heat source/sink parameter, Lewis number, and the slip parameter on the flow field and heat transfer characteristics. Graphical display of the numerical examination is performed to illustrate the influence of various flow parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers distributions. The present study has many applications in coating and suspensions, cooling of metallic plate, paper production, heat exchangers technology, and materials processing exploiting.

Abstract A boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid past a converging channel in the presence of thermophoresis, heat source, chemical reaction, viscous dissipation and simultaneous heat and mass transfer characteristics is studied in the paper. An external magnetic field of uniform strength is applied transversely to the channel. The similarity solution has been used to transform the partial differential equations that represent the problem into a boundary value problem of coupled ordinary differential equations, which in turn are solved numerically using MATLAB’s built in solver bvp4c. Numerical computations are carried out to solve the problem and graphical illustrations are made to get the physical insight of the same. The convergent channel flow problem of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in the presence of a magnetic field has a wide range of applicability in different areas of engineering, specially in industrial metal casting and control of molten metal flow.

Unsteady magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting, well known non-Newtonian fluid named as Kuvshinski fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of homogeneous chemical reaction, radiation absorption and heat source/sink is studied analytically. The plate is assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the plate, which absorbs the fluid with a suction that varies with time. The dimensionless governing equations are solved analytically using two terms harmonic and non-harmonic functions. The expressions for the fields of velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. With the aid of these the expressions for skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are derived. The effects of various physical parameters on the flow quantities are studied through graphs and tables. For the validity, we have checked our results with previously published work and found in good agreement. Velocity decreases for an increase in visco elastic parameter α2, heat absorption coefficient φ, the chemical reaction parameter γ , the magnetic field parameter M, the Prandtl number Pr, the Schmidt number Sc, and increases for increase in Grashof number Gm, the radiation absorption parameter Q1
