A computational study of Eyring‐Powell fluid model over a rotating cone with magnetic field and joule heating effect

Abstract

In this research, we investigate mixed convection transport of mass and heat transfer in the unsteady boundary layer flow of the Eyring‐Powell fluid around a rotating cone in the presence of Brownian and thermophoresis effects. Rotating cones are widely used in conical diffusers, medical devices, Aerospace Engineering and a variety of rheometric and viscosimetry applications. Specifically, we focus on the flow of the Eyring‐Powell fluid around the cone in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics and nanofluid. The modeled momentum, energy, and concentration equations of the problem are transformed into nonlinear dimensionless, nonlinear ordinary equations by utilizing the similarity variables. These nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically via Bvp4c, and the outcomes for important physical parameters on momentum, energy, and concentration equations are presented graphically. The computational outcomes of physical parameters for skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, and Sherwood are also presented in tabular form.
