Abstract: In this particular study, we have considered the flow of Casson fluid over inclined flat and cylindrical surfaces, and have conducted a numerical analysis taking into account various physical factors such as mixed convection, stagnation point flow, MHD, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, heat generation, Joule heating effect, variable thermal conductivity and chemical reaction. Flow over flat plate phenomena is observed aerospace industry, and airflow over solar panels, etc. Cylindrical surfaces are commonly used in several applications interacting with fluids, such as bridges, cables, and buildings, so the study of fluid flow over cylindrical surfaces is more important. Due to the motivation of these applications, in this paper, a comparative study of fluid flow over these two surfaces is considered. By applying appropriate similarity transformations, the governing PDEs of the problem have been transformed into non-linear ODEs, which are solved by utilizing the Keller box technique. We have examined the impact of distinct parameters by plotting velocity and thermal concentration graphs. All the profiles are plotted in both cases of cylindrical and inclined flat surface. It has been observed that for higher Casson and Magnetic parameter values, a decreasing velocity profile is noted for progressive values of the Eckert Number, thermal conductivity parameter, Joule heating parameter, heat generation, and growth in temperature profiles are witnessed. While the Prandtl number shows the opposite trend. Further, it has been observed that the concentration profile declines for incremental observations of Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameters. Computed Local parameters like the coefficient of skin friction for various values of Casson parameter and Curvature parameter, Skin friction value increases for increasing observations of Curvature parameter the phenomena agree with existing literature. Also, Nusselt number is calculated for various observations of curvature and variable thermal conductivity parameters. Nusselt number decreases in magnitude with rising observations of varying thermal conductivity argument at both flat and cylindrical surfaces. The values are matched with prevailing results and noted a good agreement.

1  Introduction

The widespread occurrence of non-Newtonian fluid behaviour in various applications, including natural and technological ones. After introducing the concept of non-Newtonian fluids, a brief overview of their distinct features is mentioned [1]. Under convective boundary conditions, an incompressible mixed convection immobility point flow non-Newtonian fluid over an elongating sheet is analyzed by Hayat et al. [2]. Mukhopadhyay et al. [3] investigated the turbulent non-Newtonian 2-dimensional fluid stream over an extending surface with a predetermined surface temperature using the shooting method. Swathi Mukhopadhyay conducted a numerical analysis of non-Newtonian fluid flow and heat transfer over a non-linearly stretched surface using the shooting method [4]. An incompressible three-dimensional Casson fluid Porous boundary layer flow is examined under the influence of MHD by Hayat et al. [5]. Non-Newtonian boundary layer flow was numerically explored by suction or blowing heat transfer fluid at the surface towards an exponentially increasing surface by Pramanik [6]. Bhattacharya [7] studied the stagnation point flow of Casson fluid flow with the influence of thermal radiation and concluded that the heat transfer rate increases for enhanced values of the magnetic parameter. Medikare et al. [8] explored the immobility point flow of Casson fluid flow over a nonlinear extending sheet and concluded that the rate of heat transfer and wall friction drag enhances progressive amounts of the Casson argument. Unsteady free convective MHD boundary layer analytical expression, thermal radiation and chemical reaction are achieved from the Casson fluid flow past an oscillating vertical plate numerically analyzed by Kataria et al. [9]. Rauf et al. [10] studied 3-dimensional Casson Nanofluid stream using the RK Fehlberg technique and observed that the level of mass transfer enhances for progressive observations of the Biot number and Brownian movement argument. Ajayi et al. [11] studied the issue of non-Newtonian fluid flow past an object’s upper surface that is neither perfectly horizontal/vertical is taken into consideration. In this problem, energy dissipation is convected to temperature-dependent plastic dynamic viscosity. Siddiq et al. [12] studied the stagnation point flow of micropolar Nanofluid over a shrinking sheet and concluded that decrement in concentration profiles is witnessed for progressive values of the Schmidt number and Brownian motion parameter. Later, Anantha Kumar et al. [13] investigated thermal radiation influence on Casson fluid course across a curved elongating sheet using the RK shooting technique and concluded that the velocity of the fluid declines in both cases of increasing observations of magnetic and Casson parameter values. Raza [14] investigated the combined velocity slip and thermal radiation effects on a stretched sheet that has been convective. Another fact taken into account is the Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) effect close to the stagnation point. In an electrically conducting Casson fluid stream via a slanted permeable micro channel, the combined impacts of the magnetic field, suction/injection, and convective exterior conditions were analyzed by Gireesha et al. [15]. Study of the impact of thermal diffusion and heat production on MHD, the chemical reaction is obtained by allowing Casson fluid to flow past an oscillating vertical plate inserted through porous material analyzed by Patel et al. [16]. Nusselt number enhances progressive observations of Magnetic and volume fraction parameters discussed by Khan et al. [17] in the analysis of hybrid nanofluid flow over stretching surface. Bejan number and entropy generation have similar impacts on electric field influence concluded by Hayat et al. [18]. The basics of various thermophysical characteristics of higher-order chemical reactions, including the viscous dissipation on nanofluid, and continuously extending porous sheet are considered and analyzed by Gopal et al. [19]. After that, Khan et al. [20–24] studied entropy exploration with melting heat effect, radiation, and porosity and concluded that the impact of heat conductivity on ternary Nanofluid and concludes that for enhanced observation of radiation temperature of fluid enhances and consequently rise in entropy is observed. Temperature losses for augmented amounts of Prandtl number in the case of Reiner Rivlin fluid flow over a stretching sheet. Velocity profiles decline for porosity in both cases of nanoparticles, whereas the opposite effect is witnessed in the case of entropy generation. Radiation influence for higher values of magnetic parameter temperature and entropy enhancement is noted in an analysis of entropy exploration study on Prandtl fluid flow. The heat source and MHD blended convection fluid course across a slanted flat plate in Casson theory numerically using the shooting method analyzed by Ramzan et al. [25]. Ganesh et al. [26] observed entropy exploration on Casson Nanofluid flow with the influence of higher order chemical reaction and concludes for higher amounts of the order of chemical reaction constraint Nusselt number enhances and the Sherwood number declines. Reddy et al. [27] considered Casson fluid flow with Soret, Joule heating, and viscous dissipation influences utilizing Homotopy analysis technique. Satya narayana et al. [28] concluded in their study that temperature enhances with an increase in the Eckert number and variable thermal conductivity parameter. Hayat et al. [29] examined the Casson fluid flow approaches a stretching surface near its stagnation point and conclude that Nusselt number decreases for progressive values of the Eckert number. Abbas et al. [30] explored heat and mass relocation in an unstable exterior layer Casson fluid course over an extending/shrinking sheet with radiation influence with the Spectral collocation quasi-linearization method. Ramesh et al. [31] analyzed Casson fluid flow across a stretching sheet with adaptive thickness and radiation. Sridhar et al. [32] examined the hydromagnetic Williamson Nanofluid over an absorbent media past an extending sheet with constant and erratic thickness. Also, Ganesh et al. [33] examined the heat transmission of a Casson nanofluid through an absorbent medium over a movable plate with changeable heat conductivity, adjustable thickness and chemical reaction. Waqas et al. [34] investigated heat transmission of radiative Nanofluid flow across a cylinder and concluded that temperature distribution enhances progressive values of the magnitude of nanoparticles. Bilal et al. [35] examined Williamson Nanofluid flow over a cylinder with adaptive thermal conductivity and observed that the Nanofluid’s velocity reduces for higher Weissenberg number values. Islam et al. [36] analyzed the thermal influence on mixed convection flow of Maxwell nanofluid over a bidirectional stretching cylinder and concluded that concentration increases for the thermal diffusion and reduces for the Brownian motion argument. Later Rehman et al. [37] investigated the immobility point Casson fluid stream upon slanted flat and cylindric surfaces and found that the Nusselt number decreases with enhanced values of the thermal conductivity. The velocity of Casson fluid decreases in all cases of a flat and cylindrical surfaces. A Casson fluid is the most appropriate flow model for non-Newtonian fluids. Casson fluids exhibit yield stress and have numerous applications. If shear stress is less than the elastic limit, Casson fluid acts similar to an elastic solid and no flow occurs. On the other hand, if shear stress is greater than yield stress it ensures the flow of Casson fluid. Few specific examples of Casson fluid are emulsions, slurries, and artificial fibres. The contribution of Casson fluid can be witnessed in the preparation of multiple products such as synthetic lubricants, pharmaceutical chemicals, paints, etc.

As heat transfer involves transferring and converting energy, it is important to define the specified level of heat exchange at a specified temperature modification. It is imperative for some components, such as turbine blades, electrical machines, electronic gadgets, transformers, bearings, etc, to remove thermal energy at a quick rate to prevent overheating. Therefore, it is essential to understand how heat transfers and the governing laws of heat transfer. By mass transfer, we mean the transfer of matter based on a concentration difference between species in a system. It has several applications in the fields of science, engineering and technology. As a result of its importance in a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications, stagnation point flow continues to be an interesting area of research for scientists and investigators. Stagnation flow is useful for designing thrust bearings and radial diffusers, reducing drag, and cooling by transpiration. Radiation is the heat transfer process that happens using electromagnetic waves. The transmission of heat by radiation comprises the drift of heat energy from the origin to the space surrounded by it. The movement of energy can be carried out by using electromagnetic waves. Energy is transferred by thermal radiation in combustion chambers, furnaces, and nuclear explosions. The Joule heating effect is the process of creating heat when a current passes through an electrical conductor. Joule heating is used in many heating devices, such as electric stoves, electric heaters, soldering irons, cartridge heaters, and food processing equipment. Flow over flat plate phenomena is observed aerospace industry, and airflow over solar panels, etc. Cylindrical surfaces are commonly used in several applications interacting with fluids, such as bridges, cables, buildings, so the study of fluid flow over cylindrical surface has a greater importance.

Due to the motivation of these applications, In this paper, a comparative study of Casson fluid flow over these two surfaces is taken into consideration. In the present study, Casson fluid’s two-dimensional stagnation point flow is analyzed on both flat and cylindrical surfaces with the influences of radiation, mixed convection, MHD, heat source, Joule heating, viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. Here a magnetic field is applied externally to fluid flow. The governing equations are explained by Keller Box numerical technique.

4  Results & Discussion

The influence of distinct parameters is analyzed by plotting graphs for both cases of a flat plate (G = 0), Cylindrical surface (G = 0.4) with MATLAB.

Here for all the graphs, we considered curvature parameter G = 0.0 for flat plate and G = 0.4 for cylindrical surfaces. Fig. 2 shows the velocity graphs of the Casson argument. For enhanced values of the Casson parameter, the velocity is found to be decreasing in both cases of flat plate and cylindrical surface. For higher values of the Casson parameter, the viscosity of the fluid increases, which causes the thickness of the momentum boundary layer to decrease so a decrement in velocity profiles is witnessed. Fig. 3 portrays the velocity profiles of the Magnetic constraint. A decrement in velocity graphs is noted for progressive observations of the Magnetic parameter. With augmented amounts of magnetic parameters, a force called Lorentz force will be produced due to this flow speed of fluid reduction observed. The same phenomena are observed in both cases of flat and cylindrical surfaces. Fig. 4 displays velocity profiles for increasing observations of the velocity ratio parameter. We observed that Casson fluid velocity is straightaway influenced by the velocity ratio argument, with higher observations of the argument leading to higher magnitudes of the velocity of the fluid. Prandtl number is the ratio of momentum diffusivity to thermal diffusivity. It is particularly useful in controlling the relative thickness of momentum and thermal boundary layers. For smaller values of the Prandtl number, heat diffuses quickly. Fig. 5 depicts temperature profiles of enhanced observations of Prandtl number. Increasing the Prandtl number, a decrease in heat conductivity is noted. So the temperature declination happens. The same phenomenon is observed in both cases of flat and cylindrical surfaces. Fig. 6 discloses temperature profiles of heat generation argument. For enhanced values of heat generation parameter, temperature growth is noted in both cases of flat and cylindrical surfaces. Thermal conductivity is the property of a material to transfer heat from a region of high temperature to a low temperature. Fig. 7 portrays temperature graphs of the thermal conductivity constraint. For increasing observations of thermal conductivity parameter temperature distribution enhances in both cases of flat and cylindrical surfaces. Fig. 8 shows temperature outlines of Eckert number. For enhanced observations of Eckert number, The driving force of the fluid is converted to internal energy, so temperature enhancement is observed in profiles. The Joule heating effect enhances the heat transfer process. Fig. 9 depicts the temperature graphs of Joule heating. For enhanced observations of the Joule heating parameter, it produces electricity in the conductor consequently it raises the temperature distribution in both cases of Flat and cylindrical surfaces. Schmidt number is the ratio of momentum spreading to mass spreading. Fig. 10 displays concentration sketches of Schmidt number. For increasing units of Schmidt number, mass transfer enhancement is witnessed so concentration profiles decrease in both cases. Fig. 11 depicts the concentration graphs of the Chemical reaction argument. For higher values of the chemical reaction argument, chemical molecular diffusivity decreases, so the fluid concentration decreases. This phenomenon we can observe in both cases of flat and cylindrical surfaces.

The measure of skin friction rises as the curvature argument increases and decreases with the Casson parameter’s progressive values. This phenomenon agrees with the previous study mentioned in Table 1. Also, the Nusselt number decreases in magnitude with increasing observations of curvature parameter and variable thermal conductivity parameter and these values are in accordance with previous studies presented in Table 2.
