Abstract An analysis is presented to analyze the momentum and heat transfer behaviour of the laminar wall jet flow of a hydromagnetic flow due to plate with nonlinear thermal radiation and convective boundary condition. The governing Partial differential equations are converted as ordinary differential equations with the aid of similarity transformation. Further, the transformed equation is resolved using the bvc5c Matlab package. The effect of various pertinent parameters on momentum and temperature fields along with the local Nusselt number is discussed with the help of numerical and graphical illustrations. It is found that the Biotnumbereffectively enhances the heat transfer rate. More >

Abstract The effect of non-linear thermal radiation on nanofluid flow over a riga plate is studied. Under some conditions, our problem reduces to the Blasius problem and Sakiadis problem. Similarity transformation is used to convert the governing steady Navier-Stokes equations into a system of coupled nonlinear differential equations, which are then solved numerically via Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 45 order method along with a shooting method. Influence of parameters involved on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles is discussed with the help of graphical aid. Numerical results have been presented on the skin-friction coefficients, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number. It is found that in… More >

Abstract This article presents the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Carreau fluid model over a nonlinear stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and viscous dissipation with convective boundary condition. The governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation, which is then solved numerically by the fourth-fifth order Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme featuring a shooting technique. The influence of significant parameters such as power law index parameter, Stretching parameter, Weissenberg number, permeability parameter, temperature… More >

Abstract This paper focuses on the numerical solution for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar Casson fluid with thermal radiation over a horizontal circular cylinder. The nonlinear partial differential equations of the boundary layer are first transformed into a non-dimensional form and then solved numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme known as Keller-box method. The The effects of the emerging parameters, namely Casson fluid parameter, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter and micropolar parameter on the local Nusselt number and the local skin friction coefficient, as well as the temperature, velocity and angular velocity profiles are shown graphically and discussed.

Abstract This study reports the flow, thermal and concentration attributes of magnetic-nanofluids past an elongated plate with thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The flow considered is two-dimensional and time-dependent. The pressure gradient and ohmic heating terms are neglected in this analysis. The flow governing PDEs are transformed into ODEs using appropriate conversions. Further, the set of ODEs are solved analytically using perturbation technique. The flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields are discussed under the influence of various pertinent parameters namely volume fraction of nanoparticle, magnetic field, stretching parameter, Soret number, radiation and chemical reaction with the assistance of… More >

Abstract A theoretical investigation has been performed to describe the laminar flow of a rotating fluid past a porous plate in conducting field with variable temperature and variable concentration taking into account the chemical reaction, radiation and Dufour effects.

Also the numerical values for local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are recorded and analyzed. Increasing values of heat source parameter results in rising of the temperature, but… More >

Abstract In this paper an analysis on heat and mass transfer is made to study magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convective flow of an incompressible viscous fluid flowing past an inclined plate. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied to the plate to influence the flow. Due to weak voltage differences caused by the very low polarization charges, the influence of electric field is considered to be neglected. Again large temperature gradient ensures cross diffusion effect like thermo-diffusion (Soret) in the field. The governed set of non-linear partial differential equations is solved by developing a multi-parameter asymptotic perturbation scheme. The influence of… More >

Abstract The forthright aim of this correspondence is to examine the conduct of MHD, viscous dissipation and Joule heating on three dimensional nonNewtonian Carreau fluid flow over a linear stretching surface.

Abstract A theoretical analysis has been carried out to investigate the influence of unsteadiness on the laminar two-phase magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow filled with porous medium under the combined effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Thermal variable conductivity, thermal radiation and viscous dissipation effects are also considered in this numerical study.
