The purpose of this paper is to investogate the ectromagnetic and micropolar properties on biviscosity fluid flow with heat and mass transfer through a non-Darcy porous medium. Morever, The heat source, viscous dissipation, thermal diffusion and chemical reaction are taken into consideration. The system of non linear equations which govern the motion is transformed into ordinary differential equations by using a suitable similarity transformations. These equations are solved by making use of Rung–Kutta–Merson method in a shooting and matching technique. The numerical solutions of the velocity, microtation velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained as a functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover the effects of these parameters on these solutions are discussed numerically and depicted graphically. It is found that the microtation velocity increases or deceases as the electric parameter, Hartman parameter and the microrotation parameter increase. Morever, the temperature increases as Forschheimer number, Eckert number increase.

AbstractA numerical study on a steady, laminar, boundary layer flow of a nanofluid with the influence of chemical reaction resulting in the heat and mass transfer variation is made. The non-linear governing equations with related boundary conditions are solved using Adam’s predictor corrector method with the effect of a Brownian motion and thermophoresis being incorporated as a model for the nanofluid, using similarity transformations. Validation of the current numerical results has been made in comparison to the existing results in the absence of chemical reaction on MHD flows. The numerical solutions obtained for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for the choice of various parameters are represented graphically. Variations of heat and mass transfer across a Brownian motion and thermophoresis are studied and analyzed.

A theoretical study has been developed to investigate the influence of thermophoresis and couple stresses on the steady flow of non-Newtonian fluid with free convective heat and mass transfer over a channel bounded by two permeable plates. The considered non-Newtonian fluid follows a viscoelastic model. The problem is modulated mathematically by a system of non-linear differential equations pertaining to describe the continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration. These equations involve the effects of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The numerical solutions of the dimensionless equations are found as a function of the physical parameters of this problem. The numerical formulas of the velocity (u), temperature Φ and concentration Θ as well as skin friction coefficient T*, Nusselt number(Nu) and Sherwood number(Sh) are computed. The physical parameter's effects of the problem on these formulas are described and illustrated graphically through some figures and tables. It is observed that any increase in the thermophoretic parameter T leads to reduce in velocity profiles as well as concentration layers. In contrast, the velocity increases with increasing the couple stresses inverse parameter.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the flow, heat and mass transfer of MHD Casson nanofluid due to an inclined stretching sheet using similarity transformation, the governing PDE’S equations of flow, heat and mass transfer are converted into ODE’S. The resulting non-linear ODE’S are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference method, which is known as Kellor-box method. The effects of various governing parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are plotted for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian cases. The numerical values of skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are calculated and tabulated in various tables for different values of physical parameters. It is noticed that the effect of angle of inclination enhances the temperature and concentration profile whereas velocity decreases. The temperature decreases due to the increase in the parametric values of Pr and Gr due to thickening in the boundary layer. Design/methodology/approach Numerical method is applied to find the results. Findings Flow and heat transfer analysis w.r.t various flow and temperature are analyzed for different values of the physical parameters. Research limitations/implications The numerical values of skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are calculated and tabulated in various tables for different values of physical parameters. Practical implications The study of the boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer is important due to its applications in industries and many manufacturing processes such as aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets and cooling of metallic sheets in a cooling bath. Originality/value Here in this paper the authors have investigated the MHD boundary layer flow of a Casson nanofluid over an inclined stretching sheet along with the Newtonian nanofluid as a limited.

The motion of non-Newtonian fluid with heat and mass transfer through porous medium past a shrinking plate is discussed. The fluid obeys Casion model, heat generation, viscous dissipation, thermal diffusion and chemical reaction are taken in our considered. The motion is modulated mathematically by a system of non liner partial differential equations which describe the continuity, momentum, heat and mass equations. These system of non linear equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using a suitable transformations. These equations are solved numerically by using Mathematica package. The numerical distributions of the velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained as a functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover the effects of these parameters on these solutions are discussed numerically and illustrated graphically through some figures. It is clear that these parameters play an important role to control the velocity, temperature and concentration of the fluid motion. It?s found that the fluid velocity deceases with the increasing of electric parameter while it increases as the magnetic hartman parameter increases, these results is good agreement with the physical situation. Also, the fluid temperature decreases and increases as the Prandtl number and Eckert number increases respectively. At least the fluid concentration decreases with both of soret and schimdt numbers.

The present study investigates on a steady two-dimensional Marangoni convective flow of nanofluid through a porous medium with heat and mass transfer characteristics. The proposed mathematical model has a tendency to characterize the radiation and chemical reaction effects. The governing equations in the form of partial differential equations have been converted into ordinary differential equations through similarity transformations, which have been solved by using Runge-Kutta method via shooting technique. The characteristics of velocity, temperature and concentration boundary layers are studied for different physical parameters. The local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are estimated and discussed for aforesaid physical parameters. It is to be noted that the Marangoni ratio parameter is improves the rate of heat transfer and decreases the mass transfer rate.

Heat and mass transfer in the boundary-layer flow of unsteady viscous nanofluid along a vertical stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field, thermal radiation, heat generation, and chemical reaction are presented in this paper. The sheet is situated in the xz-plane and y is normal to the surface directing towards the positive y-axis. The sheet is continuously stretching in the positive x-axis and the external magnetic field is applied to the system parallel to the positive y-axis. With the help of similarity transformations, the partial differential equations are transformed into a couple of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The new problem is then solved numerically by a finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. Effects of the necessary parameters in the flow field are explicitly studied and briefly explained graphically and in tabular form. For the selected values of the pertinent parameters appearing in the governing equations, numerical results of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are obtained. The results are compared to the works of others (from previously published journals) and they are found in excellent agreement.

This work examines the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional (3D) flow comprising Cu and Al2O3 water-based nanofluids. The effects of heat and mass transfer with the effects of nanoparticles are carried out in the existence of thermal radiation and convective heat and mass transfer boundary conditions. By applying the proper similarity transformations the partial differential equations describing velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction (NVF) are transformed to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NODE). An optimal homotopy analysis technique is applied to evaluate the analytical solutions. The influences of pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature and NVF are displayed in graphical and tabular forms. Calculations of Nusselt number, skin friction coefficients and the local Sherwood number are evaluated via tables. An excellent comparison has also been made with the previously-published literature.
