This comparative research investigates the influence of a flexible magnetic flux and a chemical change on the freely fluid motion of a (MHD) magneto hydrodynamic boundary layer incompressible nanofluid across an exponentially expanding sheet. Water and ethanol are used for this analysis. The temperature transmission improvement of fluids is described using the Buongiorno model, which includes Brownian movement and thermophoretic distribution. The nonlinear partial differential equalities governing the boundary layer were changed to a set of standard nonlinear differential equalities utilizing certain appropriate similarity transformations. The bvp4c algorithm is then used to tackle the transformed equations numerically. Fluid motion is slowed by the magnetic field, but it is sped up by thermal and mass buoyancy forces and thermophoretic distribution increases non-dimensional fluid temperature resulting in higher temperature and thicker boundary layers. Temperature and concentration, on the other hand, have the same trend in terms of the concentration exponent, Brownian motion constraint, and chemical reaction constraint. Furthermore, The occurrence of a magnetic field, which is aided by thermal and mass buoyancies, assists in the enhancement of heat transmission and wall shear stress, whereas a smaller concentration boundary layer is produced by a first-order chemical reaction and a lower Schmidt number.

This paper presents an incompressible two-dimensional heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid flow in a porous medium between two parallel plates with chemical reaction, Hall and ion slip effects. Let there be periodic injection or suction at the lower and upper plates and the nonuniform temperature and concentration at the plates are varying periodically with time. The flow field equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically by quasilinearization technique. The profiles of velocity components, microrotation, temperature distribution and concentration are studied for different values of fluid and geometric parameters such as Hartmann number, Hall and ion slip parameters, inverse Darcy parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction rate and shown in the form of graphs.

Inclined uniform magnetic field and mixed convention effects on micropolar non-Newtonian nanofluid Al2O3 flow with heat transfer are studied. The heat source, both viscous and ohmic dissipation and temperature micropolarity properties are considered. We transformed our system of non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary equations by using 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 tangential velocity, microtation velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration are obtained as functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover, we discussed the effects of these parameters on the numerical solutions and depicted graphically. It is obvious that these parameters control the fluid flow. It is noticed that the tangential velocity magnifies with an increase in the value of Darcy number. Meanwhile, the value of the tangential velocity reduces with the elevation in the value of the magnetic field parameter. On the other hand, the elevation in the value of Brownian motion parameter leads to a reduction in the value of fluid temperature. Furthermore, increasing in the value of heat source parameter makes an enhancement in the value of nanoparticles concentration. The current study has many accomplishments in several scientific areas like medical industry, medicine, and others. Therefore, it represents the depiction of gas or liquid motion over a surface. When particles are moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

In this paper, analytic approximation to the heat and mass transfer characteristics of a two-dimensional time-dependent flow of Williamson nanofluids over a permeable stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium has been presented by considering the effects of magnetic field, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations along with the boundary conditions were reduced to dimensionless forms by using suitable similarity transformation. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions was solved via the homotopy analysis method. The results of the study show that velocity, temperature, and concentration boundary layer thicknesses generally decrease as we move away from the surface of the stretching sheet and the Williamson parameter was found to retard the velocity but it enhances the temperature and concentration profiles near the surface. It was also found that increasing magnetic field strength, thermal radiation, or rate of chemical reaction speeds up the mass transfer but slows down the heat transfer rates in the boundary layer. The results of this study were compared with some previously published works under some restrictions, and they are found in excellent agreement.

The time-dependent mixed bioconvection flow of an electrically conducting fluid between two infinite parallel plates in the presence of a magnetic field and a first-order chemical reaction is investigated. The fully coupled nonlinear systems describing the total mass, momentum, thermal energy, mass diffusion, and microorganisms equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations via a set of new similarity transformations. The detailed analysis illustrating the influences of various physical parameters such as the magnetic, squeezing, and chemical reaction parameters and the Schmidt and Prandtl numbers on the distributions of temperature and microorganisms as well as the skin friction and the Nusselt number is presented. The conclusion is drawn that the flow field, temperature, and chemical reaction profiles are significantly influenced by magnetic parameter, heat generation/absorption parameter, and chemical parameter. Some examples of potential applications of such bioconvection could be found in pharmaceutical industry, microfluidic devices, microbial enhanced oil recovery, modeling oil, and gas-bearing sedimentary basins.

An analysis is carried out to study the effects of chemical reaction and suction /injection on the flow of a micro polar fluid past a moving plate in the presence of magnetic field and mass transfer. The boundary layer equations are transformed to non-linear ordinary differential equations. Numerical results are presented for the distribution velocity, micro rotation profiles within the boundary layer. The effects of varying magnetic parameter, the non-dimensional chemical reaction parameter , Schmidt number, porosity parameter, micro rotation parameter, and coupling constant parameter are revealed.

This paper considers a boundary layer analysis on the effects of diffusion-thermo, heat absorption and homogeneous chemical reaction on mag- netohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible, laminar chemically reacting mi- cropolar fluid past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate is made numerically. The governing partial differential equations are solved numerically using the finite element method. The numerical results are compared and found to be in good agreement with previous results as special case of the present inves- tigation. The effects of the various important parameters entering into the problem on the velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration fields within the boundary layer are discussed and explained graphically. Also the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local Skin friction coefficient, wall Couple stress and rates of heat and mass transfer in terms of the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented numerically in tabular form.

AbstractIn the present paper focused on flow and mass transfer of Prandtl fluid over a Riga plate. The effects of chemical reaction and solutal slip are taken into the account. The governing partial differential equations are reduced into a set of coupled non linear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. These equations are then solved using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-45 method. Behaviour of emerging parameters are presented graphically and discussed for velocity and concentration distribution. Numerical values of reduced skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number are shown in table and are discussed. From the plotted results it can be observed that the solutal boundary layer thickness decreases for larger values of chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number. Also, momentum boundary layer thickness rise with stronger modified Hartman number.
