The present work nonlinear thermal radiation and chemical reaction effect on three-dimensional MHD flow of permeable medium analysed. We are considering introduce the Darcy-Forchheimer law along with axial and transverse velocity. Using suitable transportations the nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved numerically by 4th Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme with shooting procedure. We are getting unique numerical solution for distinct physical variables temperature and concentration fields are depicted. Also the heat transfer and skin friction coefficients drawn through numerical data. We are finding great results of the velocity profiles behaviors opposite trend of porosity and Forchheimer parameters, the profiles of and behavior reverse trend follows other than chemical reaction parameter, both directions of skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rates reduction.

The unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of nanofluid with variable fluid properties over an inclined stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction is studied taking into account the effect of variable fluid properties in thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The numerical solutions of the problem are obtained by using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method in line with the shooting technique. It is found that the increase in both thermal conductivity and radiative heat flux decreases the heat transfer rate but increases the skin friction and mass transfer rates. It is further observed that the increase in porosity parameter and magnetic field reduces the skin friction, heat, and mass transfer rates.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the irreversibility associated with the Fe3O4–Co/kerosene hybrid-nanofluid past a wedge with nonlinear radiation and heat source. Design/methodology/approach This study reports the numerical analysis of the hybrid nanofluid model under the implications of the heat source and magnetic field over a static and moving wedge with slips. The second law of thermodynamics is applied with nonlinear thermal radiation. The system that comprises differential equations of partial derivatives is remodeled into the system of differential equations via similarity transformations and then solved through the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg with shooting technique. The physical parameters, which emerges from the derived system, are discussed in graphical formats. Excellent proficiency in the numerical process is analyzed by comparing the results with available literature in limiting scenarios. Findings The significant outcomes of the current investigation are that the velocity field uplifts for higher velocity slip and magnetic strength. Further, the heat transfer rate is reduced with the incremental values of the Eckert number, while it uplifts with thermal slip and radiation parameters. An increase in Brinkmann’s number uplifts the entropy generation rate, while that peters out the Bejan number. The results of this study are of importance involving in the assessment of the effect of some important design parameters on heat transfer and, consequently, on the optimization of industrial processes. Originality/value This study is original work that reports the hybrid nanofluid model of Fe3O4–Co/kerosene.

The present study focuses on the non-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic flow, under the kinetic postulate, of fluids that are initially liquid past a porous plate in the appearance of thermal radiation effects. Resemblance transfigurations are used to metamorphose the governing equations for temperature and velocity into a system of ordinary differential equations. We then solved these differential equations subject to convenient boundary conditions by using the shooting method along with the Runge–Kutta method. Heat transfer and characteristic flow results are acquired for different compositions of physical parameters. These results are extended graphically to demonstrate interesting attributes of the physics of the problem. Nusselt number and skin friction coefficients are also discussed via graphs and tables for different values of dimensionless parameters. Decline occurs in velocity profile due to escalating values of M. Temperature profile depicts growing behavior due to acceleration in the values of λ and M. Nusselt number and skin friction curves represent rising behavior according to their parameters.

Abstract An analysis is presented to study the effects of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, viscous and Joule dissipation on MHD free convection flow between a pair of infinite vertical Couette channel walls embedded in a porous medium. The fluid flows by a strong transverse magnetic field imposed perpendicularly to the channel wall on the assumption of a small magnetic Reynolds number. The governing non linear partial differential equations are transformed in to ordinary differential equations and are solved analytically. The effect of various parameters viz., Eckert number, electric conductivity, dynamic viscosity and strength of magnetic field on temperature profile has been discussed and presented graphically.

The present research work scrutinizes numerical heat transfer in convective boundary layer flow having characteristics of magnetic ( Fe 3 O 4 ) and nonmagnetic ( Al 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles synthesized into two different kinds of Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (sodium alginate) convectional base fluids of casson nanofluid which integrates the captivating effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and magnetic field embedded in a porous medium. The characterization of electrically transmitted viscous incompressible fluid is taken into account within the Casson fluid model. The mathematical formulation of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) with highly nonlinearity is renovated into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by utilizing the suitable similarity transform that constitutes nondimensional pertinent parameters. The transformed ODEs are tackled numerically by implementing b v p 4 c in MATLAB. A graphical illustration for the purpose of better numerical computations of flow regime is deliberated for the specified parameters corresponding to different profiles (velocity and temperature). To elaborate the behavior of Nusselt and skin friction factor, a tabular demonstration against the distinct specific parameters is analyzed. It is perceived that the velocity gradient of Newtonian fluids is much higher comparatively to non-newtonian fluids. On the contrary, the thermal gradient of non-Newtonian fluid becomes more condensed than that of Newtonian fluids. Graphical demonstration disclosed that the heat transfer analysis in non-Newtonian (sodium alginate)-based fluid is tremendously influenced comparatively to Newtonian (water)-based fluid, and radiation interacts with the highly denser temperature profile of non-Newtonian fluid in contrast to that of Newtonian fluid. Through such comparative analysis of magnetic or nonmagnetic nanoparticles synthesized into distinct base fluids, a considerable enhancement in thermal and heat transfer analysis is quite significant in many expanding engineering and industrial phenomenons.

This study presents similarity solution for boundary layer flow near a vertical porous plate with combined effects of nonlinear density variation with temperature and nonlinear thermal radiation. To accurately predict the flow phenomenon near the porous plate, the convective boundary condition is considered at the plate surface. The two-dimensional partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations through the similarity transformation. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically in Maple software using the Runge–Kutta–Ferhlberg fourth-fifth order (RKF45) algorithm. The influence of the inherit parameters like the nonlinear thermal radiation parameter, suction/injection parameter, nonlinear Boussinesq approximation parameters, local convective heat transfer parameter, local Grashof number, and Prandtl number governing the fluid behaviour is discussed. We found that the rate of heat transfer improves with the injection and nonlinear thermal radiation parameter whereas decreases with suction, local convective heat transfer parameter and local Grashof number when air and mercury are used as the working fluids. Furthermore, with the growth in the values of local Grashof number, convective heat transfer parameter and nonlinear thermal radiation parameter and in the presence of suction/injection, the porous plate surface friction witnessed an observable growth. Suction growth plays a supportive role on the velocity curve near the porous plate but a contrary trend is seen in the free stream. The temperature distribution also decays with suction augment. Injection growth is inversely proportional to the velocity profile near the porous plate but we recorded the opposite phenomenon in the free stream.

An analysis has been carried out to study the combined effects of heat and mass transfer on the unsteady flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet. The thermal radiation effects are presented. The arising nonlinear partial differential equations are first reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Plots for various interesting parameters are presented and discussed. Numerical data for surface shear stress, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number in steady case are also tabulated. Comparison between the present and previous limiting results is given.
