An analysis is carried out to investigate the steady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid over an exponentially stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction. Velocity, thermal and solutal slips are considered instead of no-slip conditions at the boundary. Stretching velocity, wall temperature and wall concentration are considered in the exponential forms. The non-linear partial differential equations are converted into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations. The resultant non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by fourth order Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The influence of various parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature, concentration, wall skin friction coefficient, the heat transfer coefficient and the Sherwood number have been computed and the results are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively. Comparisons with previously published works are performed on various special cases and are found to be in excellent agreement.

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.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of thermal radiation on MHD mixed convection flow of a micropolar nanoliquid   towards a non-linear stretching surface with convective boundary condition. The governing equations are converted into non-linear    ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. The homotopy analysis method is used for solving the non-linear ordinary differential equations. The temperature profiles increase due to increase in thermal radiation parameter. The microrotation   profile increases when boundary parameter is increased. Also, the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt are plotted for various    parameters.

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.

Abstract We numerically investigate a mixed convection model for a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffery fluid flowing over an exponentially stretching sheet. The influence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction is also considered in this study. The governing non-linear coupled partial differential equations are reduced to a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity functions. This new set of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using the Spectral Quasi-Linearization Method. A parametric study of physical parameters involved in this study is carried out and displayed in tabular and graphical forms. It is observed that the velocity is enhanced with increasing values of the Deborah number, buoyancy and thermal radiation parameters. Furthermore, the temperature and species concentration are decreasing functions of the Deborah number. The skin friction coefficient increases with increasing values of the magnetic parameter and relaxation time. Heat and mass transfer rates increase with increasing values of the Deborah number and buoyancy parameters.

The present paper deals with the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting magnetohydrodynamic viscous fluid over a radially stretching power-law sheet with suction/injection within a porous medium by considering the effects of momentum and thermal slips and thermal radiation. The governing non-linear partial boundary layer differential equations are reduced to a  system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the aid of appropriate similarity transformations. These transformed ODEs are then solved by employing a semi-analytic technique known as differential transformation method (DTM) in combination with Pade approximation. The numerical values of skin friction and local Nusselt number are tabulated and validated by comparing them with the corresponding values available in the literature. Our results have been found in precise agreement  with the results published earlier. The effects of different governing parameters on velocity and temperature distributions are analyzed graphically. It has been found that with an increase in the velocity slip parameter the fluid velocity decreases whereas the temperature of the fluid increases. Also, the fluid temperature gets enhanced with an increase in the radiation parameter, but it decreases with an increase in thermal slip.
