Abstract The present article explores the effect of viscous dissipation on steady natural convection Couette flow subject to convective boundary condition. Due to the nonlinearity and coupling of the governing equations in the present situation, the homotopy perturbation method was employed to obtain the solutions of the energy and momentum equations. The impacts of the controlling parameters were investigated and discussed graphically. In the course of investigation, it was found that fluid temperature increases with an increase in viscous dissipation while the reverse trend was observed in fluid velocity. However, it was also discovered that heat generation leads to a decrease in the rate of heat transfer on the heated plate and it increases on the cold plate. Finally, it was concluded that the velocity boundary layer thickness increases with an increase in Biot number.

AbstractThe unsteady, magneto-hydrodynamic generalized Couette flows of two immiscible fluids in a rectangular channel with isothermal walls under the influence of an inclined magnetic field and an axial electric field have been investigated. Both fluids are considered electrically conducting and the solid boundaries are electrically insulated. Approximate analytical solutions for the velocity, induced magnetic, and temperature fields have been determined using the Laplace transform method along with the numerical Stehfest's algorithm for the inversion of the Laplace transforms. Also, for the nonlinear differential equation of energy, a numerical scheme based on the finite differences has been developed. A particular case has been numerically and graphically studied to show the evolution of the fluid velocity, induced magnetic field, and viscous dissipation in both flow regions.

The current exploration deals with the third grade hydromagnetic pulsating flow of blood-gold nanofluid in a channel with the presence of Ohmic heating, viscous dissipation and radiative heat. In the present analysis, blood (base fluid) is considered as third-grade fluid and gold (Au) as nanoparticle. This investigation is useful in the fields of food processing system, pressure surges (pulsatile flow application), biomedical engineering, nano drug delivery, radiotherapy, and cancer therapeutic (nanofluid application). Perturbation method is employed to transform the set of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and then solved by employing the fourth order Runge-Kutta method with the aid of the shooting technique. The impacts of emerging dimensionless parameters of velocity, temperature, and heat transfer rate of blood-Au nanofluid are analysed via pictorial outcomes in detail. The obtained results depict that the improvement in viscous dissipation and heat source enhanced the temperature of third grade nanofluid. The velocity and temperature of the nanofluid are declining functions with the enhancement of frequency parameter, material parameter, and non-Newtonian parameter respectively. Intensifying the volume fraction of nanoparticle dwindles the velocity and temperature of nanofluid. Enhancing volume fraction and viscous dissipation accelerates the heat transfer rate of nanofluid. The velocity, temperature, and heat transfer rates are decreased by an escalation of the Hartmann number. Further, enhancing the radiation parameter reduces the heat transfer rate and temperature of nanofluid.

Our motive is to examine the impact of thermal radiation and suction or injection with viscous dissipation on an MHD boundary layer flow past a vertical porous stretched sheet immersed in a porous medium. The set of the flow equations is converted into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. We use Runge Kutta method and shooting technique in MATLAB Package to solve the set of equations. The impact of non-dimensional physical parameters on flow profiles is analysed and depicted in graphs. We observe the influence of non-dimensional physical quantities on the Nusselt number, the Sherwood number, and skin friction and presented in tables. A comparison of the obtained numerical results with existing results in a limiting sense is also presented. We enhance radiation to observe the deceleration of fluid velocity and temperature profile for both suction and injection. While enhancing porosity parameter accelerates velocity whereas decelerates temperature profile. As the heat source parameter increases, the temperature of the fluid decreases for both suction and injection, it has been found. With the increasing values of the radiation parameter, the skin friction and heat transfer rate decreases. Increasing magnetic parameter decelerates the skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number.
