Abstract A numerical model is developed to study the Soret and Dufour effects on MHD boundary layer flow of a power-law fluid over a flat plate with velocity, thermal and solutal slip boundary conditions. The governing equations for momentum, energy and mass are transformed to a set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. These non-linear ordinary differential equations are first linearized using a quasi-linearization technique and then solved numerically based on the implicit finite difference scheme over the entire range of physical parameters with appropriate boundary conditions. The influence of various governing parameters along with velocity, thermal and mass slip parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are examined graphically. Also, the effects of slip parameters, the Soret and Dufour number on the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are studied. Results show that the increase in the Soret number leads to a decrease in the temperature distribution and to an increase in concentration fields.

In this study a mathematical analysis has been carried out to scrutinize the unsteady boundary layer flow of an incompressible, rarefied gaseous flow over a vertical stretching sheet with velocity slip and thermal jump boundary conditions in the presence of thermal radiation. Using boundary layer approach and suitable similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations with the boundary conditions are reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved with the help of fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. The results obtained for the velocity profile, temperature profile, skin friction coefficient and the reduced Nusselt number are described through graphs. It is predicted that the velocity and temperature profiles are lower for unsteady flow and has an opposite effect for steady flow.

The problem of a magneto-hydro dynamic flow and heat transfer to a non-Newtonian power-law fluid flow past a continuously moving flat porous plate in the presence of sucion/injection with heat flux by taking into consideration the viscous dissipation is analysed. The non-linear partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer are transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations using appropriate transformations and then solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. The solution is found to be dependent on various governing parameters including the magnetic field parameter M, power-law index n, suction/injection parameter ƒw, Prandtl number Pr and Eckert number Ec. A systematical study is carried out to illustrate the effects of these major parameters on the velocity profiles, temperature profile, skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer and the local Nusslet number.

Abstract A fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian power law fluid flowing over a non-linear stretching surface in the presence of a transverse magnetic field taking into consideration viscous dissipation effects is investigated. The stretching velocity, the temperature and the transverse magnetic field are assumed to vary in a power-law with the distance from the origin. The flow is induced due to an infinite elastic sheet which is stretched in its own plane. The governing equations are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. By using quasi-linearization techniques first linearize the non linear momentum equation is linearized and then the coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme. The numerical solution is found to be dependent on several governing parameters, including the magnetic field parameter, power-law index, Eckert number, velocity exponent parameter, temperature exponent parameter, modified Prandtl number and heat source/sink parameter. A systematic study is carried out to illustrate the effects of these parameters on the fluid velocity and the temperature distribution in the boundary layer. The results for the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are tabulated and discussed.

In the present work, two dimensional flow of a hyperbolic tangent fluid with chemical reaction and viscous dissipation near a stagnation point is discussed numerically. The analysis is performed in the presence of magnetic field. The governing partial differential equations are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformation. The resulting higher order non-linear ordinary differential equations are discretized by finite difference method and then solved by SOR (Successive over Relaxation parameter) method. The impact of the relevant parameters is scrutinized by plotting graphs and discussed in details. The main conclusion is that the large value of magnetic field parameter and wiessenberg numbers decrease the streamwise and normal velocity while increase the temperature distribution. Also higher value of the Eckert number Ec results in increases in temperature profile.

Abstract In this work, an analysis is presented for the unsteady axisymmetric flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid generated by an impermeable stretching cylinder with heat and mass transport under the influence of heat generation/absorption, thermal radiation and first-order chemical reaction. Additionally, thermal and solutal performances of nanofluid are studied using an interpretation of the well-known Buongiorno's model, which helps us to determine the attractive characteristics of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion. Firstly, the governing unsteady boundary layer equation's (PDEs) are established and then converted into highly non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using the suitable similarity transformations. For the governing non-linear ordinary differential equations, numerical integration in domain [0, ∞) is carried out using the BVP Midrich scheme in Maple software. For the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions, reliable results are prepared for different physical flow constraints. According to the results, for increasing values of Deborah numbers, the temperature and concentration distribution are higher in terms of relaxation time while these are decline in terms of retardation time. Moreover, thermal radiation and heat generation/absorption are increased the temperature distribution and corresponding boundary layer thickness. With previously stated numerical values, the acquired solutions have an excellent accuracy.

In this study the effect of entropy generation on two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Maxwell fluid over an inclined stretching sheet embedded in a non-Darcian porous medium with velocity slip and convective boundary condition is investigated. Darcy-Forchheimer based model was employed to describe the flow in the porous medium. The non-linear thermal radiation is also taken into account. Similarity transformation is used to convert the non-linear partial differential equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The resulting transformed equations are then solved using the Homotopy analysis method (HAM). Influence of various physical parameters on the dimensionless velocity profile, temperature profile and entropy generation are shown graphically and discussed in detail while the effects of these physical parameters on velocity gradient and temperature gradient are aided with the help of Table. Furthermore, comparison of some limiting cases of this model was made with existing results. The results obtained are found to be in good agreement with previously published results. Moreover, increase in local inertial coefficient parameter is found to decrease the entropy generation rate.
