Influence of magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Joule heating effects are taken into the account. A set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained from the governing partial differential equations with the aid of suitable similarity transformations. The resultant equations are solved for the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique. The impact of several existing physical parameter on velocity, temperature and nanofluid concentration profiles are analyzed through graphs and tables in detail. It is found that, velocity component decreases and temperature component increases for rotating parameter.

Abstract In this study, the impact of thermal radiation and partial slip on magnetohydrodynamic flow of the Jeffrey nanofluid comprising motile gyrotactic microorganisms via vertical stretching surface is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are reformed to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations by utilizing the similarity transformations. The transformed equations are of order four, which are complex to solve analytically and hence, the coupled system is solved computationally by using the shooting technique along the Runge–Kutta integrated scheme. The ramifications of different thermophysical parameters on the density of gyrotactic microorganisms, Jeffrey nanofluid velocity, nanoparticles concentration, temperature, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. Comparing this study with the results already published favors the validity of this study. It is established that the Nusselt number is boosted on enhancing the thermal radiation parameter, and the reverse trend has been observed on increasing the Richardson number, whereas the gyrotactic microorganisms density is more in case of viscous nanofluid compared to the Jeffrey nanofluid.

The aim of this article is to study time dependent rotating single-wall electrically conducting carbon nanotubes with aqueous suspensions under the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation in a permeable medium. The impact of viscous dissipation is taken into account. The basic governing equations, which are in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs), are transformed to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) suitable for transformations. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is applied for the solution. The effect of numerous parameters on the temperature and velocity fields is explanation by graphs. Furthermore, the action of significant parameters on the mass transportation and the rates of fiction factor are determined and discussed by plots in detail. The boundary layer thickness was reduced by a greater rotation rate parameter in our established simulations. Moreover, velocity and temperature profiles decreased with increases of the unsteadiness parameter. The action of radiation phenomena acts as a source of energy to the fluid system. For a greater rotation parameter value, the thickness of the thermal boundary layer decreases. The unsteadiness parameter rises with velocity and the temperature profile decreases. Higher value of augments the strength of frictional force within a liquid motion. For greater and ; the heat transfer rate rises. Temperature profile reduces by rising values of .

This article proposes a numerical model to investigate the impact of the radiation effects in the presence of heat generation/absorption and magnetic field on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) stagnation point flow over a radially stretching sheet using a Casson nanofluid. The nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the proposed flow problem are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via suitable similarity transformations. The shooting technique and the Adams–Moulton method of fourth order are used to obtain the numerical results via the computational program language FORTRAN. Nanoparticles have unique thermal and electrical properties which can improve heat transfer in nanofluids. The effects of pertinent flow parameters on the nondimensional velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented. Overall, the results show that the heat transfer rate increases for higher values of the radiation parameter in a Casson nanofluid.

ABSTRACTIn this investigation, the magnetohydrodynamic pulsatile flow of Casson nanofluid through a vertical channel embedded in porous medium with thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption has been analyzed using Buongiorno model. The influence of viscous and Joules dissipations are taken into account. The governing coupled partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations using perturbation scheme and then solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta fourth order technique along with shooting method. The impact of various emerging parameters on velocity, temperature, nanoparticles concentration, Nusselt number and Sherwood number distributions are analyzed in detail. Analysis indicates that the temperature distribution increases for a given increase in Brownian motion parameter and thermophoresis parameter, while it decreases with an increase in Hartmann number. Further, the nanoparticles concentration distribution decreases with an increase in the chemical reaction parameter and the Lewis number, while it increases for a given increase in the Brownian motion parameter.

The resultant equations are numerically solved using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth-order method along with shooting technique. Findings The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are evaluated for several emerging physical parameters and are analyzed through graphs and tables in detail. Research limitations/implications This study only begins to reveal the research potential and pitfalls of research and publishing on boundary-layer flow, heat and mass transfer of Casson nanofluid past and the moving and static wedge-shaped bodies. Originality/value It is found that the presence of non-linear thermal radiation and variable properties has more influence in heat transfer. Furthermore, temperature profile increases as the radiation parameter increases.

In this paper, we investigate the combined effects of Brownian motion, thermophoresis and Cattaneo-Christov heat flux on Casson nanofluid boundary layer flow over a stretching cylinder. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are obtained and transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by employing appropriate similarity solution. The model nonlinear boundary value problem is tackled numerically using fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme with shooting technique. Effects of various thermophysical parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as skin friction and Sherwood number are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively. It is found that thermal relaxation parameter minimizes the temperature field and boosting the rate of heat transfer per unit volume. This heat flux conditions are very useful for thermal transport control in manufacturing and chemical industries.

Abstract The main focus of the present study is to analyze the effect of chemical reaction and nonlinear thermal radiation on Maxwell fluid suspended with nanoparticles through a porous medium along horizontal stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations of the defined problem are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using adequate similarity transformations. Obtained set of similarity equations are then solved with the help of efficient numerical method fourth fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The effects of different flow pertinent parameters on the flow fields like velocity, temperature, and concentration are shown in the form of graphs and tables. The detailed analysis of the problem is carried out based on the plotted graphs and tables. It is observed that an increase in the radiation parameter, temperature ratio parameter, Brownian motion parameter and thermophoretic parameter lead to increase in the thermal boundary layer thickness but quite opposite phenomenon can be seen for the effect of Prandtl number.

A two-dimensional stream of an magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Eyring-Powell fluid on a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and the Joule heating is analyzed. The flow model in the form of the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is transformed into a system of non-linear and coupled Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) by implementing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by the shooting technique with Adams-Moulton Method of fourth order. The numerical solution obtained for the velocity and temperature profiles has been presented through graphs for different choice of the physical parameters. The magnetic field is found to have a direct relation with the temperature profile and an inverse with the velocity profile. Increasing the thermal radiation, the temperature tends to rise.

The consequence of periodic body acceleration and thermal radiation in the pulsating flow of MHD Casson nanofluid through a porous channel is addressed. A flow of the nanofluid injected through the lower plate is considered while sucked out through the upper plate with a similar velocity. The thermal radiation term is incorporated in the heat transfer equation. The governing equations corresponding to velocity and temperature are converted from partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations by employing similarity variables. The perturbation technique is applied to solve the governing flow equations. The impact of diverse parameters on flow features is graphically analyzed. The result reveals that adding the nanoparticle has enhanced the velocity profile of the base fluid. Moreover, an increase in the periodic body acceleration results in enlarging velocity and temperature.
