Modelling of MHD Viscoelastic Fluid Flow in a Circular Stretching Sheet With Soret, Dufour and Arrhenius Activation Energy

Abstract

Analysis of steady, axisymmetric, hydromagnetic, viscoelastic fluid flow due to a circular sheet stretching radially has been made in presence of nonlinear thermal radiation, heat source, Arrhenius activation energy, Soret and Dufour effects. To study the viscoelastic fluid, Maxwell fluid model has been adopted. Governing simultaneous partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. The ordinary differential equations are solved by using bvp4c method. The obtained results are shown graphically to illustrate the impact of pertinent physical parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, heat transfer and mass transfer.

A study of magnetohydrodynamic flow on a channel with induced magnetic field, Soret effect and heat radiation

“…thermal diffusion on a mixed convective mass and heat transfer flow via a vertical porous plate with MHD is the main objective of this effect. On this effect, several researchers conducted their studies such as Sabu et al [34], Jawad et al [35], Das [36], Mishra and Panda [37], and so forth.…”

“…Viscoelastic fluid, which is developed from the generalization of the linear constitutive equation, is capable to explain the viscous and elastic nature of fluid and is used in polymer industries, biological problems, and so on. Recently, many authors 37–42 studied viscoelastic fluids. The viscoelasticity of viscoelastic fluid plays an important role and this behavior may be modeled by Walters' liquid $<math altimg="urn:x-wiley:26884534:media:htj22774:htj22774-math-0001" wiley:location="equation/htj22774-math-0001.png" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mrow><mrow><mi>B</mi><mo accent="false">\unicode{x02032}</mo></mrow></mrow></math>$ 43 .…”
