Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze a mathematical model for the time-dependent flow of non-Newtonian Williamson liquid because of a stretching surface. The mathematical formulation of the current model is accomplished from the momentum, energy and concentration balances by assuming a laminar, two-dimensional and incompressible flow subjected to a variable magnetic field. The study further aimed at discovering the possible effects of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity on the heat transfer characteristics. Design/methodology/approach In addition, a first-order chemical reaction is considered between the fluid and chemically reacting species. The governing transport model for Williamson fluid has been altered to ordinary differential equations via appropriate dimensionless parameters. These basic non-dimensional partially coupled differential equations of fluid motion are solved by an efficient Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg integration scheme along with the Nachtsheim–Swigert shooting technique. Findings It is found that the velocity slip parameter has a reducing impact on the skin friction coefficient. Moreover, we noticed that the Hartmann number and variable thermal conductivity parameters show prominent impacts on the velocity and temperature fields. It is also perceived that the fluid temperature shows an increasing trend with uplifting values of variable thermal conductivity. Originality/value No such work is yet published in the literature.

The Impact

AbstractThe present investigation deals with the steady three-dimensional flow and heat transfer of nanofluids due to stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field and heat source. Three types of water based nanoparticles namely, copper (Cu), aluminium oxide (Al2O3), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are considered in this study. The temperature dependent variable thermal conductivity and thermal radiation has been introduced in the energy equation. Using suitable similarity transformations the dimensional non-linear expressions are converted into dimensionless system and are then solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme along with well-known shooting technique. The impact of various flow parameters on axial and transverse velocities, temperature, surface frictional coefficients and rate of heat transfer coefficients are visualized both in qualitative and quantitative manners in the vicinity of stretching sheet. The results reviled that the temperature and velocity of the fluid rise with increasing values of variable thermal conductivity parameter. Also, the temperature and normal velocity of the fluid in case of Cu-water nanoparticles is more than that of Al2O3- water nanofluid. On the other hand, the axial velocity of the fluid in case of Al2O3- water nanofluid is more than that of TiO2nanoparticles. In addition, the current outcomes are matched with the previously published consequences and initiate to be a good contract as a limiting sense.

AbstractA two-dimensional mathematical model of magnetized unsteady incompressible Williamson fluid flow over a sensor surface with variable thermal conductivity and exterior squeezing with viscous dissipation effect is investigated, numerically. Present flow model is developed based on the considered flow geometry. Effect of Lorentz forces on flow behaviour is described in terms of magnetic field and which is accounted in momentum equation. Influence of variable thermal conductivity on heat transfer is considered in the energy equation. Present investigated problem gives the highly complicated nonlinear, unsteady governing flow equations and which are coupled in nature. Owing to the failure of analytical/direct techniques, the considered physical problem is solved by using Runge-Kutta scheme (RK-4) via similarity transformations approach. Graphs and tables are presented to describe the physical behaviour of various control parameters on flow phenomenon. Temperature boundary layer thickens for the amplifying value of Weissenberg parameter and permeable velocity parameter. Velocity profile decreased for the increasing squeezed flow index and permeable velocity parameter. Increasing magnetic number increases the velocity profile. Magnifying squeezed flow index magnifies the magnitude of Nusselt number. Also, RK-4 efficiently solves the highly complicated nonlinear complex equations that are arising in the fluid flow problems. The present results in this article are significantly matching with the published results in the literature.

The Navier-Stokes equations have been used for numerical modeling of chemically reacting gas flow in the propulsion chamber. The chamber represents an axially symmetrical plane disk. Fuel and oxidant were fed into the chamber separately at some angle to the inflow surface and not parallel one to another to ensure better mixing of species. The model is based on conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy for nonsteady two-dimensional compressible gas flow in the case of axial symmetry. The processes of viscosity, thermal conductivity, turbulence, and diffusion of species have been taken into account. The possibility of detonation mode of combustion of the mixture in the chamber was numerically demonstrated. The detonation triggering depends on the values of angles between fuel and oxidizer jets. This type of the propulsion chamber is effective because of the absence of stagnation zones and good mixing of species before burning.
