In the present paper, an MHD three-dimensional non-Newtonian fluid flow over a porous stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of mass transpiration and thermal radiation is examined. This problem mainly focusses on an analytical solution; graphene water is immersed in the flow of a fluid to enhance the thermal efficiency. The given non-linear PDEs are mapped into ODEs via suitable transformations, then the solution is obtained in terms of incomplete gamma function. The momentum equation is analyzed, and to derive the mass transpiration analytically, this mass transpiration is used in the heat transfer analysis and to find the analytical results with a Biot number. Physical significance parameters, including volume fraction, skin friction, mass transpiration, and thermal radiation, can be analyzed with the help of graphical representations. We indicate the unique solution at stretching sheet and multiple solution at shrinking sheet. The physical scenario can be understood with the help of different physical parameters, namely a Biot number, magnetic parameter, inverse Darcy number, Prandtl number, and thermal radiation; these physical parameters control the analytical results. Graphene nanoparticles are used to analyze the present study, and the value of the Prandtl number is fixed to 6.2. The graphical representations help to discuss the results of the present work. This problem is used in many industrial applications such as Polymer extrusion, paper production, metal cooling, glass blowing, etc. At the end of this work, we found that the velocity and temperature profile increases with the increasing values of the viscoelastic parameter and solid volume fraction; additionally, efficiency is increased for higher values of thermal radiation.

Nanotechnology has infiltrated into duct design in parallel with many other fields of mechanical, medical and energy engineering. Motivated by the excellent potential of nanofluids, a subset of materials engineered at the nanoscale, in the present work, a new mathematical model is developed for natural convection in a vertical duct containing nanofluid. Numerical scrutiny for the double-diffusive free and forced convection within a duct encumbered with nanofluid is performed. Buongiorno’s model is deployed to define the nanofluid. Robin boundary conditions are used to define the surface boundary conditions. Thermal and concentration equations envisage the viscous, Brownian motion, thermosphores of the nanofluid, Soret and Dufour effects. Using the Boussi-nesq approximation the solutal buoyancy effect as a result of gradients in concentration are incorporated. The conservation equations which are nonlinear are numerically estimated using fourth order Runge-Kutta methodology and analytically ratifying regular perturbation scheme. The mass, heat, nanoparticle concentration and species concentration fields on eight dimensionless physical parameters such as thermal and mass Grashof numbers, Brownian motion parameter, thermal parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Schmidt parameter, and Soret parameter are calculated. The impact of these parameters are outlined pictorially. The velocity and temperature fields are boosted with the thermal Grashof number. The Soret and the Schemidt parameters reduces the nanoparticle volume fraction but it heightens the momentum, temperature and concentration. At the cold wall thermal and concentration Grashof numbers reduces the Nusselt values but they increase the Nusselt values at the hot wall. The reversal consequence was attained at the hot plate. The perturbation and Runge-Kutta solutions are equal in the nonappearance of Prandtl number. The (E. Zanchini, Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 41, 3949 (1998)). results are restored for the regular fluid. The heat transfer rate is high for nanofluid when matched with regular fluid.

This paper introduces a theoretical and numerical study for the problem of Casson fluid flow and heat transfer over an exponentially variable stretching sheet. Our contribution in this work can be observed in the presence of thermal radiation and the assumption of dependence of the fluid thermal conductivity on the heat. This physical problem is governed by a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which is solved numerically by using the differential transformation method (DTM). This numerical method enables us to plot figures of the velocity and temperature distribution through the boundary layer region for different physical parameters. Apart from numerical solutions with the DTM, solutions to our proposed problem are also connected with studying the skin-friction coefficient. Estimates for the local Nusselt number are studied as well. The comparison of our numerical method with previously published results on similar special cases shows excellent agreement.

This paper analyzes the collective effects of buoyancy force, thermal radiation, convective heating, and magnetic field on stagnation point flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid past a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in a porous medium. Similarity transformations are used on the resulting nonlinear partial differential equations to transfer into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The fourth-fifth-order Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with shooting technique is applied to solve numerically. Results are obtained for dimensionless velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle volume fraction as well as the skin friction and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. The results indicate the existence of two real solutions for the shrinking sheet in the range of λ c < λ < 0 . The fluid flow stability is maintained by increasing the magnetic field effect, whereas the porous medium parameter inflates the flow stability. It is also noted that both the skin friction coefficient and the local Sherwood number approximately decline with the intensification of thermal radiation within the range from 9.83% to 14% and the range from 48.86% to 78.66%, respectively. It is also evident in the present work that the local Nusselt number upsurges with the porous and suction/injection parameters.

The development of the mathematical modeling of Casson fluid flow and heat and mass transfer is presented in this paper. The model is subjected to the following physical parameters: shrinking parameter, mixed convection, concentration buoyancy ratio parameter, Soret number, and Dufour number. This model is also subjected to the inclined magnetic field and shrinking sheet at a certain angle projected from the y- and x-axes, respectively. The MATLAB bvp4c program is the main mathematical program that was used to obtain the final numerical solutions for the reduced ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs originate from the governing partial differential equations (PDEs), where the transformation can be achieved by applying similarity transformations. The MATLAB bvp4c program was also implemented to develop stability analysis, where this calculation was executed to recognize the most stable numerical solution. Numerical graphics were made for the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, velocity profile, temperature profile, and concentration profile for certain values of the physical parameters. It is found that all the governed parameters affected the variations of the Casson fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and the profiles of velocity, temperature, and concentration. In addition, a stable solution can be applied to predict the impact of physical parameters on the actual fluid model by using a mathematical fluid model.

We investigate entropy generation in unsteady three-dimensional axisymmetric MHD nanofluid flow over a non-linearly stretching sheet. The flow is subject to thermal radiation and a chemical reaction. The conservation equations were solved using the spectral quasi-linearization method. The novelty of the work is in the study of entropy generation in three-dimensional axisymmetric MHD nanofluid and the choice of the spectral quasilinearization method as the solution method. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are also taken into account when the nanofluid particle volume fraction on the boundary in passively controlled. The results show that as the Hartman number increases, both the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number decrease whereas the skin friction increases. It is further shown that an increase in the thermal radiation parameter corresponds to a decrease in the Nusselt number. Moreover, entropy generation increases with the physical parameters.

We investigate the combined effects of a magnetic field and a convective boundary condition on unsteady Jeffrey nanofluid flow over a shrinking sheet with thermal radiation and heat generation. The effects of several important factors such as particle size and shape, the clustering of particles and the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids has not been studied adequately. It is important for more research so as to ascertain the effects of these factors on the thermal conductivity of a wide range of nanofluids. The non-dimensional governing equations are derived and solved using a spectral quasilinearisation method. Among other findings, we show that thermal radiation enhances both the temperature and concentration profiles. Furthermore, the effects of different physical parameters on the flow velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically and discussed in detail. Comparison with previously published work shows an excellent agreement.

Abstract In this article, heat transfer with nonlinear thermal radiation on sinusoidal motion of magnetic solid particles in a dust Jeffrey fluid has been studied. The effects of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and hall current are also taken under consideration. The governing equation of motion and energy equation are modelled with help of Ohms law for fluid and dust phases. The solutions of the resulting ordinary coupled partial differential equations are solved analytically. The impact of all the physical parameters of interest such as Hartmann number, slip parameter, Hall parameter, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number and particle volume fraction are demonstrated mathematically and graphically. Trapping mechanism is also discussed in detail by drawing contour lines. The present analysis affirms many interesting behaviours, which permit further study on solid particles motion with heat and mass transfer.
