Analysis of MHD Fluids around a Linearly Stretching Sheet in Porous Media with Thermophoresis, Radiation, and Chemical Reaction

Abstract

This paper presents the comparative analysis of MHD boundary layer fluid flow around a linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiative heat flux, heat generation/absorption, thermophoresis velocity, and chemical reaction effects in a permeable surface. The governing equations are highly nonlinear PDEs which are converted into coupled ODEs with the help of dimensionless variables and solved by using semianalytical techniques. The numerical and graphical outcomes are observed and presented via tables and graphs. Also, the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and skin friction coefficient are illustrated by tables. On observation of heat and mass transfer, it was noticed that Maxwell fluid dominates the other fluids such as Newtonian, Williamson, and Casson fluid due to high rate of thermal conductivity, and hence, Maxwell fluid has better tendency for heat and mass transfer than other Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

Numerical Investigation of Mixed Convective Williamson Fluid Flow Over an Exponentially Stretching Permeable Curved Surface

“…Much advancement is observed in research related to MHD flows over a stretching surface in the literature. Jabeen et al [18] considered a porous surface to study the effects of MHD boundary layer flow over a stretching surface and observed that Maxwell fluid has a high thermal conductivity rate compared to other non-Newtonian fluid models. Rasool et al [19] analyzed the high impact of Darcy medium (porous medium) on MHD nanofluid bounded by a stretching (non-linear) surface.…”

A Numerical Study of MHD Carreau Nanofluid Flow with Gyrotactic Microorganisms over a Plate, Wedge, and Stagnation Point

“…e temperature variation within the flow is supposed to be small enough so T 4 can be taken as a linear function of temperature neglecting the higher order term while expanding T 4 in Taylor-series about T ∞ is obtained as [20,21]…”

“…Also, he concluded that the We and n retard the velocity of fluid but enhance the temperature profile. He declared that DTM is more powerful technique [20,21]. Due to vast number of applications in the industrial, technological, and engineering developments, the Carreau model was further worked out by numerous researchers/authors in the last decades [22][23][24][25][26].…”

Influence of Chemically Reacting Ferromagnetic Carreau Nanofluid over a Stretched Sheet with Magnetic Dipole and Viscous Dissipation

“…Also, he concluded that the We and n retard the velocity of fluid but enhance the temperature profile. He declared that DTM is more powerful technique [34,35]. In the study [36], Arain et al studied the flow behavior of Carreau fluid along rotating circular plates with gyrotactic microorganisms under the effects of magnetic generalized Reynolds # and concluded that fluid viscosity declines in shear thinning case when comparing with Newtonian and shear thickening fluids.…”
