Unsteady MHD Bionanofluid Flow in a Porous Medium with Thermal Radiation near a Stretching/Shrinking Sheet

Abstract

This research aims at providing the theoretical effects of the unsteady MHD stagnation point flow of heat and mass transfer across a stretching and shrinking surface in a porous medium including internal heat generation/absorption, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction. The fundamental principles of the similarity transformations are applied to the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) that lead to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The transformed ODEs are numerically solved by the shooting algorithm implemented in MATLAB, and verification is done from MATLAB built-in solver bvp4c. The numerical data produced for the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number are compared with the available result and found to be in a close agreement. The impact of involved physical parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, and density of motile microorganisms profiles is scrutinized through graphs. It is analyzed that the skin friction coefficient enhances with increasing values of an unsteady parameter A , magnetic parameter M , and porosity parameter Kp . In addition, we observe that the density of a motile microorganisms profile enhances larger values of the bioconvection Lewis number Lb and Peclet number Pe and decreases with the increasing values of an unsteady parameter A .

Entropy Analysis on a Three-Dimensional Wavy Flow of Eyring–Powell Nanofluid: A Comparative Study

“…Working in the domain of nonlinear fluid flows creates challenges to the mathematician and simulation engineers with its diversity and complexity. As the complexity of such fluids offers no unique constitutive equation which encounters all the properties, for such fluids, several non-Newtonian models are presented in [1][2][3][4]. e polymeric liquids reveal diverse rheological attributes apparent in the flow, such as polymer accumulation, mechanical mortification, and solvent composition.…”

Soret–Dufour impact on a three-dimensional Casson nanofluid flow with dust particles and variable characteristics in a permeable media

“…It is reported that on enhancing the viscosity and magnetic parameter, heat flux diminishes. Irfan et al 41 reported the influence of chemical reaction and internal heat generation/absorption on a radiative bio-nanofluid flow past a deforming surface with stagnation point flow in a porous chamber. On a time-dependent viscous fluid flow, Rosali et al 42 investigated transmission of heat amalgamated with stagnation point flow past a deforming surface with porosity effect.…”
