The objective of this paper is to analyze the influence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on the boundary layer flow of a magnetohydrodynamic Jeffrey nanofluid over a permeable cone in the presence of thermophoresis, Brownian motion effects. The set of non-linear governing partial differential equations are transformed into set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by using self-suitable transformations, which are then solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order along with shooting technique. The obtained results present the effects of various non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Also, enumerated and analyzed the friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. We presented dual solutions in the presence and absence of the magneticfield and found an excellent agreement of the present results with the existed studies under some special limited cases. Result indicates that an increase in the buoyancy parameter increases the heat and mass transfer rate in the presence and absence of the transverse magneticfield and dual solutions exists only for certain range of magneticfield parameter.

In this paper, we analyzed the thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects on the boundary layer flow of a magnetohydrodynamic Eyring-Powell nanofluid over a permeable cone in the presence of buoyancy forces and suction/injection effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into set of non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by using self-suitable transformations, which are then solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order along with shooting technique. The obtained results present the effects of various non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Also, enumerated and analyzed the friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. We presented dual solutions for suction and injection cases and found an excellent agreement of the present results with the existed studies under some special limited cases. Result indicates that dual solutions are available only for particular range of suction or injection parameter and Eyring-Powell parameter have tendency to enhance the heat transfer rate.

The dual solutions in the boundary layer flow and heat transfer in the presence of thermal radiation is quantitatively studied. The governing partial differential equations are derived into a system of ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation, and afterward numerical solution obtained by a shooting technique. Dual solutions execute within a certain range of opposing and assisting flow which related to these numerical solutions. The similarity equations have two branches, upper or lower branch solutions, within a certain range of the mixed convection parameters. Further numerical results exist in our observations which enable to discuss the features of the respective solutions.

In the current study, we have scrutinized the sway of non-linear thermal radiation and Biot number on boundary layer flow along a continuously moving thin needle filled with carbon based nanotubes by considering water as regular fluid. The main system of partial differential equations is first reduced to the system of ordinary non-linear differential equations with the help of similarity conversion technique. The transmuted boundary layer ordinary differential equations are answered numerically by implementing Finite element scheme. The influence of pertinent constraints involved on heat, hydro-dynamic and solutal boundary layers are analysed in depth and the outcomes are revealed through plots. Moreover, the effect of these parameters on the values of Sherwood number, Nusselt number and skin-friction coefficient is also inspected and the results are exposed through tables. It is seen that velocity sketches depreciates with improving values of size of the needle parameter.

AbstractA non-linear analysis has been made to study the unsteady hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. The effects of thermal radiation in the boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet have also been investigated. The system of governing partial differential equations in the boundary layer have reduced to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations using a suitable similarity transformation. The resulting non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference scheme. The numerical results concern with the axial velocity, micro-rotation component and temperature profiles as well as local skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the sheet. The study reveals that the unsteady parameter S has an increasing effect on the flow and heat transfer characteristics.

The present work deals with chemically reacting unsteady magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell nanofluid flow past an inclined permeable stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with thermal radiation. The formulated governing partial differential equations conveying the flow model of Maxwell with Buongiorno modeled nanofluid is transformed into the system of highly non-linear ordinary differential equations via suitable similarity transformations; those equations are transmuted into an initial value problem and then solved numerically by a shooting approach with Runge–-Kutta fourth-order schema. To obtain the physical insight of the flow situation, the influence of associated parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles is sketched graphically with the aid of MATLAB software. Furthermore, engineering quantities of interest are interpreted graphically. The computed numerical results are compared to estimate the validity of the achieved results; it has been found out that the computed results are highly accurate. The impact of the Maxwell parameter and inclination angle of the sheet on the velocity field is observed in decaying. Both thermal and solutal energy transport are progressive in nature as the Maxwell parameter and thermophoresis parameter grows, and a reverse trend is observed for Prandtl number.

ABSTRACTThe problem of unsteady boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a stretching surface is studied. Heat transfer due to melting is analyzed. Using a similarity transformation the governing coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of the model are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and then solved numerically by a Runge-Kutta method with a shooting technique. Dual solutions are observed numerically and their characteristics are analyzed. The effects of the pertinent parameters such as the acceleration parameter, the Brownian motion parameter, the thermophoresis parameter, the Prandtl number and the Lewis number on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are discussed. Also the effects of these parameters on the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are analyzed through graphs. It is observed that the melting phenomenon has a significant effect on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics.

The analysis of unsteady tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow past a wedge with injection-suction, because of its beneficial uses, has gained a lot of attention. The present study is mainly concerned with tangent hyperbolic nanofluid (non-Newtonian nanofluid). First, we have converted the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. Boundary conditions are also transformed by utilizing suitable similarity transformation. Now, for the obtained ODEs, we have used the numerical technique bvp 4 c and investigated the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The accuracy of the flow model is validated by applying MAPLE d-solve command having good agreement while comparing the numerical results obtained by bvp4c for both suction and injection cases. The effects of distinct dimensionless parameters on the various profiles are being analyzed. The novel features such as thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also discussed to investigate the characteristics of heat and mass transfer. Graphical representation of the impact of varying parameters and the solution method for the abovementioned model is thoroughly discussed. It was observed that suction or injection can play a key role in controlling boundary layer flow and brings stability in the flow. It was also noticed that by increasing the Darcy number, velocity profile increases in both injection-suction cases.

AbstractThe study of boundary layer flow under mixed convection has been investigated numerically for various nanofluids over a semi-infinite flat plate which has been placed vertically upward for both buoyancy-induced assisting and buoyancy-induced opposing flow cases. To facilitate numerical calculations, a suitable transformation has been made for the governing partial differential equations (PDEs). Then, similarity method has been applied locally to approximate the nonlinear PDEs into a coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Then, quasilinearization method has been taken for linearizing the nonlinear terms which are present in the governing equations. Thereafter, implicit trapezoidal rule has been taken for integration numerically along with principle of superposition. The effect of physical parameters which are involved in the study are analyzed on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. This study reveals the presence of dual solutions in case of opposing flow. Further, this study shows that with increasing $$\phi$$ ϕ and Pr, the range of existence of dual solutions becomes wider. Also, it has been noted that nanofluids enhance the process of heat transfer for buoyancy assisting flow and it delays the separation point in case of opposing flow.

AbstractIn the present article, magneto-micropolar nanofluid flow with suction or injection in a porous medium over a stretching sheet for the heat and mass transfer is analyzed numerically. Both Hall and ion-slip effects are considered along with variable thermal diffusivity. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations using usual similarity transformations. These coupled non-linear differential equations are solved using the shooting method. Effects of prominent parameter on velocities, temperature and concentration are discussed graphically. Numerical values of skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are also tabulated and discussed.

Abstract This study analyzed the MHD boundary layer flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid past stretching cylinder with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. The governing non-linear partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum, energy and concentration have been formulated and transformed into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. Then the resulting non-linear high order ordinary differential equations of momentum, energy and concentration, subjected to boundary conditions were solved numerically by utilizing the second-order accurate implicit finite difference method known as Keller-Box which is programmed in the MATLABR2017b software. The results indicated that the velocity profile increases as the Eyring-Powell fluid parameter M and the curvature parameter γ increase but it decreases as the magnetic parameter Ha increases. Both the temperature and the concentration profiles have revealed an increment pattern for large values of the magnetic parameter Ha and the thermophoresis parameter Nt but a decrement manner with increasing values of the Eyring-Powell fluid parameter M. The Brownian motion parameter Nb has shown an opposite influence on the temperature and the concentration profiles. The results also depicted that the local skin friction coefficient increases with increasing in Eyring-Powell fluid parameter M, magnetic parameter Ha. Besides, it is found that both the local Nusselt number Nux and the local Sherwood number Shx are higher for large vales of Eyring-Powell fluid parameter M and curvature parameter γ. Furthermore, the present results for the local skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are validated with the data of previously published literature for various limiting conditions where a very sound agreement has been attained.
