Abstract The buoyancy driven flow of a second-grade nanofluid in the presence of a binary chemical reaction is analyzed in the context of a model based on the balance equations for mass, species concentration, momentum and energy. The elastic properties of the considered fluid are taken into account. The two-dimensional slip flow of such non-Newtonian fluid over a porous flat material which is stretched vertically upwards is considered. The role played by the activation energy is accounted for through an exponent form modified Arrhenius function added to the Buongiorno model for the nanofluid concentration. The effects More >

Abstract The current investigation aims to explore the combined effects of heat and mass transfer on free convection of Sodium alginate-Fe3O4 based Brinkmann type nanofluid flow over a vertical rotating frame. The Tiwari and Das nanofluid model is employed to examine the effects of dimensionless numbers, including Grashof, Eckert, and Schmidt numbers and governing parameters like solid volume fraction of nanoparticles, Hall current, magnetic field, viscous dissipation, and the chemical reaction on the physical quantities. The dimensionless nonlinear partial differential equations are solved using a finite difference method known as Runge-Kutta Fehlberg (RKF-45) method. The variation More >

Abstract The upfront intension of this study is to explore the advances in electrically conducting Casson fluid induced due to a porous elongated surface taking Arrhenius activation energy, viscous dissipation and joule heating into account. Uniform magnetic and electric fields are imposed on the given flow.

To scrutinize the behavior of critical parameters on flow configurations graphs and table are portrayed. From graphical moments, it is analyzed that velocity of the liquid diminish for advanced More >

Abstract The effect of chemical reaction on MHD free convection heat transfer flow of a nanofluid bounded a semi-infinite flat surface in a rotating frame of reference is theoretically investigated. The velocity along the plate (slip velocity) is assumed to oscillate on time with constant frequency. The analytical solutions of different water based nanofluids containing TiO₂, Al₂O₃, Ag, Cu and CuO of the boundary layers are assumed, to keep the problem as realistic as possible. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically by using the small perturbation Technique. The effects of various physical parameters More >

Abstract In this investigation, our objective is to study the effect of non-uniform slot suction or injection into a steady mixed convective MHD boundary layer flow over a vertical wedge embedded in a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction. The wall of the wedge is embedded in a uniform porous medium in order to allow possible fluid wall suction or injection. The surface of the wedge is maintained at a variable wall temperature and concentration. The fluid is assumed to be viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting; and the magnetic field is applied transversally in… More >

Abstract The present research aims to examine the steady state of the two-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a micropolar nanofluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of chemical reactions, radiation and viscous dissipation. The effect of particle rotation is taken into account. A conducting fluid passes over a semi-infinite plate with variable temperature while a magnetic field is directed in the transverse direction. Results for velocity, angular momentum, temperature and concentration profiles are obtained for various values of Eckert number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, thermophosis parameter and Brownian motion parameters. A similarity approach is… More >

Abstract This paper investigates the chemical reaction and thermal radiation effects on unsteady MHD free convective flow past a vertical porous plate in the presence of heat absorption/generation. The novelty of present investigation is that the temperature and concentration of the plate are span wise cosinusoidally unsteady with time. The second order perturbation technique is employed to study the non-linear partial differential equations which govern the fluid flow. The effects of magnetic parameter, radiation, Eckert number, Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions as well as skin friction coefficients, the rate More >
