This research investigates the influence of the combined effect of the chemically reactive and thermal radiation on electrically conductive stagnation point flow of nanofluid flow in the presence of a stationary magnetic field. Furthermore, the effect of Newtonian heating, thermal dissipation, and activation energy are considered. The boundary layer theory developed the constitutive partial differential momentum, energy, and diffusion balance equations. The fundamental flow model is changed to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via proper transformations. These nonlinear-coupled equations are addressed analytically by implementing an efficient analytical method, in which a Mathematica 11.0 programming code is developed for numerical simulation. For optimizing system accuracy, stability and convergence analyses are carried out. The consequences of dimensionless parameters on flow fields are investigated to gain insight into the physical parameters. The result of these physical constraints on momentum and thermal boundary layers, along with concentration profiles, are discussed and demonstrated via plotted graphs. The computational outcomes of skin friction coefficient, mass, and heat transfer rate under the influence of appropriate parameters are demonstrated graphically.

Abstract This paper investigates a chemically reactive Magnetohydrodynamics fluid flow with heat and mass transfer over a permeable surface taking into consideration the buoyancy force, injection/suction, heat source/sink and thermal radiation. The governing momentum, energy and concentration balance equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by method of similarity transformation and solved numerically by Runge- Kutta method based on Shooting technique. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration fields are discussed graphically. Comparison of this work with previously published works on special cases of the problem was carried out and the results are in excellent agreement. Results also show that the thermo physical parameters in the momentum boundary layer equations increase the skin friction coefficient but decrease the momentum boundary layer. Fluid suction/injection and Prandtl number increase the rate of heat transfer. The order of chemical reaction is quite significant and there is a faster rate of mass transfer when the reaction rate and Schmidt number are increased.

Aim of the paper is to investigate effects of ohmic heating and viscous dissipation on steady flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a stretching non-conducting isothermal sheet. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order with shooting technique. The velocity and temperature distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. Skin-friction coefficient and the Nusselt number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically, and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are compared with earlier results and presented through tables.

ABSTRACTThe combined effects of Joule and Newtonian heating in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Jeffrey fluid over a stretching cylinder with heat source/sink are addressed. Suitable transformations are considered to reduce the non-linear boundary layer partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. Convergent series solutions of the resulting dimensionless problems are obtained. Effects of emerging physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles are examined. Comparison between viscous and Jeffrey fluids for different cases of flat plate and cylinder is made. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are tabulated and analyzed for different values of emerging parameters.

This work considers steady, laminar, MHD flow of a micropolar fluid past a stretched semi-infinite, vertical and permeable surface in the presence of temperature dependent heat generation or absorption, magnetic field and thermal radiation effects. A set of similarity parameters is employed to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The obtained self-similar equations are solved numerically by an efficient implicit, iterative, finite-difference method. The obtained results are checked against previously published work for special cases of the problem in order to access the accuarcy of the numerical method and found to be in excellent agreement. A parametric study illustrating the influence of the various physical parameters on the skin friction coefficient, microrotaion coefficient or wall couple stress as well as the wall heat transfer coefficient or Nusselt number is conducted. The obtained results are presented graphically and in tabular form and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed.

The unsteady MHD flow of Powell-Eyring fluid with microorganisms due to permeable extending surface which is also inclined, embedded in porous media is acknwledged. We have considered variable fluid property such as variable viscosity, thermal conductivity. For this perspective relevant transformations are exercised to reduce the governing PDE’s corresponding to momentum energy, mass and microorganisms’ profiles to system of ODE’s which are of non-linear nature and are numerically evaluated by MATLAB algorithm using Runge-kutta technique. Tabular annotations including pictorial presentations are comprehensively used to analyse effects caused by physical parameters concerning velocity, energy, mass and microorganisms.The present analysis focuses the study of unsteady MHD slip flow of Powell-Eyring fluid with microorganisms over an inclined permeable stretching sheet with slip conditions which is not avalaible in open literature beforehand. Rising unsteady parameter (A) decreases skin friction coefficient and reverse impact is shown on local Sherwood, Nusselt, and motile microorganisms’ number.

A steady laminar flow over a vertical stretching sheet with the existence of viscous dissipation, heat source/sink, and magnetic fields has been numerically inspected through a shooting scheme based Runge—Kutta–Fehlberg-integration algorithm. The governing equation and boundary layer balance are expressed and then converted into a nonlinear normal system of differential equations using suitable transformations. The impact of the physical parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, the local Nusselt, and skin friction coefficient are described. Results show good agreement with recent researches. Findings reveal that the Nusselt number at the sheet surface augments, since the Hartmann number, stretching velocity ratio A, and Hartmann number Ha increase. Nevertheless, it reduces with respect to the heat generation/absorption coefficient δ.

An analysis is performed to investigate the effect of MHD and thermal radiation on the two-dimensional steady flow of an incompressible, upper-convected Maxwells (UCM) fluid in presence of external magnetic field. The governing system of partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations and is solved numerically by efficient shooting technique. Velocity and temperature fields have been computed and shown graphically for various values of physical parameters. For a Maxwell fluid, a thinning of the boundary layer and a drop in wall skin friction coefficient is predicted to occur for the higher elastic number which agrees with the results of Hayat et al. 2007 and Sadeghy et al. 2006. The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of elastic parameterβ, magnetic parameterMn, Eckert numberEc, Radiation parameterN,and Prandtl numberPron flow and heat transfer charecteristics.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose three iterative finite element methods for equations of thermally coupled incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) on 2D/3D bounded domain. The detailed theoretical analysis and some numerical results are presented. The main results show that the Stokes iterative method has the strictest restrictions on the physical parameters, and the Newton’s iterative method has the higher accuracy and the Oseen iterative method is stable unconditionally. Design/methodology/approach Three iterative finite element methods have been designed for the thermally coupled incompressible MHD flow on 2D/3D bounded domain. The Oseen iterative scheme includes solving a linearized steady MHD and Oseen equations; unconditional stability and optimal error estimates of numerical approximations at each iterative step are established under the uniqueness condition. Stability and convergence of numerical solutions in Newton and Stokes’ iterative schemes are also analyzed under some strong uniqueness conditions. Findings This work was supported by the NSF of China (No. 11971152). Originality/value This paper presents the best choice for solving the steady thermally coupled MHD equations with different physical parameters.

The governing partial differential equations are reduced into the ordinary differential equations by using transformations. The resulting problems are solved by homotopy analysis method (HAM). Dimensionless velocities and temperature are plotted for the variation of influential parameters. The local skin friction coefficient, local couple stress coefficient and Nusselt number are tabulated with respect to the influence of several physical parameters.

Diffusion-thermo effect (Dufour effect) and thermal-diffusion effect (Soret effect) on an MHD flow through porous medium taking nanoparticles may be considered to be useful in many engineering problems when there is a species concentration along with the solid nanoparticles. To study such an attracting problem, it is necessary to consider the flow to be single-phase. In the present investigation, the hydromagnetic flow of H2O-based nanofluids due to an exponentially expanding sheet saturated in non-Darcian porous material is examined with Dufour and Soret effects. In addition, temperature and species concentration along the surface in flow distribution are considered to be variable exponentially. Two sorts of nanofluids are considered, to be specific, Cu–H2O and Ag–H2O. Use of proper similarity transformations transfers the governing PDEs to coupled ODEs. Then the solutions of the coupled equations are computed by very efficient shooting method. Non-dimensionless velocity species concentration and temperature are introduced in graphical mode for several values of involved parameters. Out of several obtained outcomes, it is noticeable that similar to the magnetic parameter and permeability parameter, due to increase in non-Darcy Forchheimer parameter velocity diminishes and while temperature and species concentration increments are witnessed. Due to presence of Dufour effect, temperature enhances and similarly, the concentration increases for Soret effect. While due to Dufour effect, the concentration initially decreases, but away from surface it increases and similar behaviour is found for temperature in the case of Soret effect. Also, it is obtained that skin-friction coefficient for Cu–H2O nanofluid is larger than it value for Ag–H2O nanofluid. Dufour effect turns into the reason for the reduction of Nusselt number and increment of Sherwood number for both nanofluids, but Soret effect affects the two nanofluids reversely. The analysis and its findings provide some tools which may be applied in engineering and industrial problems.
