Abstract This work investigates an oblique stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid over a rigid surface with power law fluid as lubricated layers. Copper (Cu) and Silver (Ag) solid particles are used as hybrid particles acting in water H₂O as a base fluid. The mathematical formulation of flow configuration is presented in terms of differential system that is nonlinear in nature. The thermal aspects of the flow field are also investigated by assuming the surface is a heated surface with a constant temperature T. Numerical solutions to the governing mathematical model are calculated by the RK45 algorithm. More >

Abstract In this paper, we discussed the effect of nanoparticles shape on bioconvection nanofluid flow over the vertical cone in a permeable medium. The nanofluid contains water, Al₂O₃ nanoparticles with sphere (spherical) and lamina (non-spherical) shapes and motile microorganisms. The phenomena of heat absorption/generation, Joule heating and thermal radiation with chemical reactions have been incorporated. The similarity transformations technique is used to transform a governing system of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical bvp4c MATLAB program is used to find the solution of ordinary differential equations. The interesting aspects of pertinent parameters on mass More >

Abstract The present paper investigates the impacts of heat transfer and magnetic field on the boundary layer flow of Casson fluid over a linearly stretching sheet. The researchers have introduced analytical and numerical solutions for the momentum and energy equations by transforming the equations into the system of ordinary differential equations with the aid of the similarity transformations technique. The velocity and temperature profiles for pertinent constraints like Casson fluid constraint, Chandrasekhar number, Prandtl number, and thermal conductivity are presented through graphs. The influence of the wall shear stress and the Prandtl number increases while the… More >

Abstract This study attempts to explore a qualitative analysis of the effects of Soret on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics free convection flow of a chemically reacting incompressible fluid past an infinite vertical plate embedded in a porous medium taking the source of heat and thermal radiation into account as well as viscous dissipation. The central equations are scrupulously converted into sets of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for providing logical solutions. The method of Galerkin finite element is used considering appropriate boundary conditions for diverse physical metrics and then numerically analyzed employing MATLAB. A significant change in More >

Abstract This paper analyzes a hypothesis of the 2−dimensional thermal transport behavior of Newtonian axisymmetric, viscous heating flow in a horizontal pipe. The flow is subjected to an externally applied uniform suction across the pipe wall in the polar direction, a constant magnetic field perpendicular to the wall and a uniform heat source/sink on the surface of the cylinder. The thermal boundary condition is imposed as a uniform heat flux. The Velocity fields are expressed in terms of stream function and the solution is obtained using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Graphs are designed to analyze 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 The steady boundary layer stagnation flow of a Casson fluid over a stretching sheet with slips boundary conditions in the presence of viscous dissipation, Joule heating and the first order destructive chemical reaction is analyzed. The governing flow problem is based on momentum equation, energy equation, and mass diffusion equation and these are further simplified with the help of similarity transformations. The reduced, resulting highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved using the Matlab bvp4c package. The effects of various parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration as well as on the skin More >

Abstract The present study deals with the two dimensional steady laminar forced MHD Hiemenz flow past a flat plate in a porous medium. The effects of thermal radiation and partial slips on the flow field have been investigated under the variable wall temperature condition of the plate. The governing equations have been transformed into a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using suitable similarity transformations. These equations have been solved analytically by using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of Prandtl number, suction/blowing parameter, permeability parameter, velocity slip parameter, radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, More >

Abstract The objective of the present communication is to study the problem of micropolar fluid flow with temperature dependent thermal conductivity over a nonlinear stretching convective vertical surface in the presence of Lorentz force and viscous dissipation. Due to the nature of heat transfer in the flow past vertical surface, Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model and Joule heating effects are properly accommodated in the energy equation. The governing partial differential equations for the flow and heat transfer are converted into a set of ordinary differential equations by employing the acceptable similarity transformations. Runge-Kutta and Newton’s methods are More >

Abstract The fundamental free-space 2D steady creeping MHD flow produced by a concentrated point force of strength g located at a so-called source point x₀ in an unbounded conducting Newtonian liquid with uniform viscosity µ and conductivity σ > 0 subject to a prescribed uniform ambient magnetic field B = Be₁ is analytically obtained. More precisely, not only the produced flow pressure p and velocity u but also the resulting stress tensor field σ are expressed at any observation point x ≠ x₀ in terms of usual modified Bessel functions, the vectors g, x-x₀ and the so-called Hartmann layer thickness d = (√µ/σ)/B More >
