Viscous dissipation effect on mixed convective heat transfer of MHD flow of Williamson nanofluid over a stretching cylinder in the presence of variable thermal conductivity and chemical reaction

Abstract

The effect of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation on mixed convective heat transfer of an MHD Williamson nanofluid past a stretching cylinder in the existence of chemical reaction is analyzed in this study. When energy equation is formulated, the variable thermal conductivity is deliberated. By proposing applicable similarity transformations, nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are attained from partial differential equations. These nondimensional ODEs are computed through Runge‐Kutta method integrated with shooting method using MATLAB software. The results found numerically are in agreement with that of the published works of similar nature in a limiting case. The results of the local Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient, and Sherwood numbers are organized in tables. The influence of protuberant parameters on temperature, velocity, and concentration is presented by graphs. From the results, it is seen that for higher values of variable thermal conductivity parameter, the local Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient upsurge, whereas the local Nusselt number diminishes.

Spectral Relaxation Methodology for Chemical and Bioconvection Processes for Cross Nanofluid Flowing around an Oblique Cylinder with a Slanted Magnetic Field Effect

“…In the presence of a chemically reactive species, Poply and Renu [22] examined the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) impact on chemically reactive nanofluid flow across an extending cylinder with radiation effect. According to Ibrahim and Mekonnen [23], the combined convective heat flux rate of an MHD Williamson nanofluid across an elongating cylinder in the presence of a chemical reaction was affected by viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. A moving cylindrical surface with Brownian diffusion together with thermophoresis effects was investigated by Gharami et al [24] for its uneven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection of tangent hyperbolic type nanofluid.…”

Magnetic dipole effects on non‐Newtonian ferrofluid over a stretching sheet

“…Carreau fluid, Maxwell fluid, Oldroyd‐B, and Burger fluids and Eyring–Powell fluids are the non‐Newtonian fluids. Many authors investigated the non‐Newtonian fluid different models can be seen in Hamid and colleagues 1–4 . Here the focus of this study is to examine the Eyring–Powell fluid.…”
