Analytic simulation of thermophoretic second grade fluid flow past a vertical surface with variable fluid characteristics and convective heating

Abstract

The study considers the effect of thermophoresis particle deposition on the flow properties of second grade fluid with variable viscosity, variable thermal conductivity and variable concentration diffusivity subjected to a convective boundary condition. To further describe the transport phenomenon, the special case of assisting and opposing flows is explored. Using similarity transformations, the governing equations of the fluid model are transformed and parameterized into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The approximate analytic solution of a dimensionless system is obtained through the Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method (OHAM). It is observed that velocity and temperature distributions are decreasing functions of the second grade parameter for both assisting and opposing flows. When the thermophoretic parameter is increased, the concentration distributions at the first and fourth orders of chemical reaction decrease. For both opposing and assisting flows, velocity distributions are enhanced due to larger temperature-dependent viscous parameters.

Stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid flow passing over a rotating sphere subjected to thermophoretic diffusion and thermal radiation

“…It was determined that raising the Forchheimer and Darcy parameters results in a decrease in fluid velocity. Shah et al 40 examined the impact of TPD on the flow characteristics of a second-grade fluid under the upshot of variable viscosity. It was found that the mass profile drops with the effect of thermophoretic factor.…”
