A comparative study of convective heat and mass transfer in non-Newtonian nanofluid flow past a permeable stretching sheet

A model for entropy generation in stagnation‐point flow of non‐Newtonian Jeffrey, Maxwell, and Oldroyd‐B nanofluids

“…Non‐Newtonian fluids of interest in this study are Jeffrey, Maxwell, and Oldroyd‐B nanofluids. Some studies have been done before, for example, the steady two‐dimensional flow, heat and mass transfer in Jeffrey, Maxwell, and Oldroyd‐B nanofluids along a porous stretching sheet with Brownian motion, thermophoresis, magnetic field, and suction/injection was analyzed by Sandeep et al The Runge‐Kutta method and a shooting technique were used to solve the system of equations. The results showed that the wall skin friction for a Maxwell nanofluid is less than that of Jeffrey and Oldroyd‐B nanofluids.…”

“…In some earlier studies, for instance, it has been assumed that the nanoparticles distribution is uniform across the nanofluid. In reality, however, there are slip velocities between the nanoparticles and the fluid molecules owing to Brownian motion and thermophoresis, migration of nanoparticles from hotter to colder regions.…”

Unsteady heat and mass transfer mechanisms in MHD Carreau nanofluid flow

“…He calculated the zeroth order and linear expansion solutions. Sandeep et al [8] reported a comparative study of Jeffrey, Maxwell and Oldroyd-B nanofluids. They concluded that Oldroyd-B and Jeffrey nanofluids have more wall friction compared with the Maxwell nanofluid.…”

Carreau Model for Liquid Thin Film Flow of Dissipative Magnetic-Nanofluids over a Stretching Sheet

“…[4] ) for various fluid flows over a stretching sheet. Recently, Raju et al [5] reported a comparative study on heat and mass transfer in Jeffrey, Maxwell and Oldroyd-B nanofluids past a stretching surface by considering the thermophoresis, Brownian motion and magnetic field effects and found that heat and mass transfer rates are high in case of Oldroyd-B nanofluid when compared with other two nanofluids. On the other hand, the flow and heat transfer of a thin liquid film over an unsteady stretching sheet has received considerable attention of several researchers due to their enormous applications in several branches of science and technology such as heat exchangers, wire and fiber coating, chemical processing, transpiration cooling etc.…”
