Influence of convective heat and mass conditions in MHD flow of nanofluid

Abstract

Abstract. This article aims to investigate the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of nanofluid. Convective mass condition is introduced. Analysis has been discussed in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are incorporated. The arising nonlinear problems are first converted to ordinary differential equations and then series solutions are constructed. Convergence of series solutions is examined through plots and numerical values. Results are plotted and discussed for the temperature and concentration. Numerical computations for skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are performed and analyzed. Comparison with the previous limiting case is noted in an excellent agreement.

On model of Burgers fluid subject to magneto nanoparticles and convective conditions

“…Fig. 9 Tables 4 and 5 give the comparison of present results in a limiting sense with the work done by Shehzad et al [37]. It is found that the obtained results in limiting sense are in good agreement with that of Shehzad et al [37].…”

MHD Unsteady Flow of a Williamson Nanofluid in a Vertical Porous Space With Oscillating Wall Temperature

“…The theoretical investigation of MHD Williamson nanofluid in a tapered asymmetric channel under the action of a thermal radiation parameter with peristalsis was studied by Kothandapani and Prakash (2015) and the authors have indicated that such analysis may serve for the intrauterine fluid motion in a sagittal cross-section of the uterus under cancer therapy and drug analysis. More recently, Shehzad et al (2015) have investigated the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of nanofluid in the presence of an applied magnetic field with Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. Mixed convection flow through a channel has be en extensively studied 2 because of its occurrence in many practical applications such as the cooling of modern electronic systems, heat exchangers, solar energy collection, chemical processing equipments, transport of heated or cooled fluids, etc.…”

Analytical study for MHD flow of Williamson nanofluid with the effects of variable thickness, nonlinear thermal radiation and improved Fourier’s and Fick’s Laws

“…The transformed boundary layer approximations for velocity, energy and concentrations are contemplated by the homotopy analytic method (HAM). Some prominent literature on the HAM are [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] and the references therein. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and nanoparticles concentration are discussed in the form of graphs in view of several governing parameters.…”
