The present article investigates the effect of multiple slips on axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) buoyant nano-fluid flow over a stretching sheet with radiation and chemical effect. The non-linear partial differential equations were transformed to a non-linear control equation using an appropriate similarity transformation. The governing equations were solved through the finite element method. The influence of physical parameters such as multiple slips, magnetic, thermal radiation, Prandtl number, stretching, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Schmidt number, Lewis number and chemical reaction on the radial velocity, temperature, solutal concentration and nano-fluid volume fraction profile were investigated. We noted that the boundary layers increases in the presence of multiple slip effects whereas, the effect of thermal slip on Nusselt number increases with the increasing values of magnetic and thermal radiation. To verify the convergence of the numerical solution, the computations were made by reducing the mesh size. Finally, our results are parallel to previous scholarly contributions.

In this article, we probe the multiple-slip effects on magnetohydrodynamic unsteady Casson nano-fluid flow over a penetrable stretching sheet, sheet entrenched in a porous medium with thermo-diffusion effect, and injection/suction in the presence of heat source. The flow is engendered due to the unsteady time-dependent stretching sheet retained inside the porous medium. The leading non-linear partial differential equations are transmuted in the system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate transformations, then the transformed equations are solved by using the variational finite element method numerically. The velocity, temperature, solutal concentration, and nano-particles concentration, as well as the rate of heat transfer, the skin friction coefficient, and Sherwood number for solutal concentration, are presented for several physical parameters. Next, the effects of these various physical parameters are conferred with graphs and tables. The exact values of flow velocity, skin friction, and Nusselt number are compared with a numerical solution acquired with the finite element method (FEM), and also with numerical results accessible in literature. In the end, we rationalize the convergence of the finite element numerical solution, and the calculations are carried out by reducing the mesh size.

Analysis has been conducted to analyze the effects of second order slip flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with non linear thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis occur in the transport equations. The velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration profiles are analyzed with respect to the involved parameters of interest namely Brownian motion parameters, thermophoresis parameter, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Lewis number, chemical reaction parameter, and Deborah number, Convergence of the derived solutions was checked and the influence of embedded parameters was analyzed by plotting graphs. It was noticed that the velocity increases with an increase in the Deborah number. We further found that for fixed values of other parameters, numerical values of the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt numbers and Sherwood numbers were computed and examined. A comparative study between the previous published and present results in a limiting sense is found in an excellent agreement.

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.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of binary chemical reaction and activation energy on nano Casson liquid flow past a stretched plate with non-linear radiative heat, and also, the effect of a novel exponential space-dependent heat source (ESHS) aspect along with thermal-dependent heat source (THS) effect in the analysis of heat transfer in nanofluid. Comparative analysis is carried out between the flows with linear radiative heat process and non-linear radiative heat process.Design/methodology/approachA similarity transformation technique is utilised to access the ODEs from the governed PDEs. The manipulation of subsequent non-linear equations is carried out by a well-known numerical approach called Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme. Obtained solutions are briefly discussed with the help of graphical and tabular illustrations.FindingsThe effects of various physical parameters on temperature, nanoparticles volume fraction and velocity fields within the boundary layer are discussed for two different flow situations, namely, flow with linear radiative heat and flow with non-linear radiative heat. It is found that an irregular heat source/sink (ESHS and THS) and non-linear solar radiation play a vital role in the enhancement of the temperature distributions.Originality/valueThe problem is relatively original to study the effects of activation energy and binary chemical reaction along with a novel exponential space-based heat source on laminar boundary flow past a stretched plate in the presence of non-linear Rosseland radiative heat.
