A mathematical model is established to examine the influence of viscous dissipation and joule heating on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible viscoelastic nanofluid over a convectively heated stretching sheet. Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects have been introduced in this nanofluid model. The governing equations are transformed into ODE’s by using suitable similarity conversions and are then solved numerically by the most robust shooting technique. The significance of numerous physical flow constraints is performed for, and distributions through graphs. It is noticed that, the increases for higher values of and reduces for rising values of heat source and Biot numbers. An outstanding contract was found between our numerical results and previously publicised results.

MHD Stagnation Point Flow of Viscoelastic Nanofluid Past a Convectively Heated Stretching Surface

In this paper we discuss the MHD unsteady flow of a micropolar nanofluid through a vertical channel with expanding/contracting walls under the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation considering weak permeability. The PDEs of the governing problem are reduced into a set of ODEs by using self-similar transformations and are then solved numerically. Influence of flow parameters such as wall dilation ratio, permeability Reynolds number, micropolar parameters, thermal radiation parameter, nanofluid parameters etc. on the flow, thermal energy and volume fraction of nanoparticles has been discussed in detail. We trust that the results of this study are not only useful for industrial applications but also present a basic understanding of the physical model.

Lie Group Analysis for the Flow and Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid Over a Stretching Sheet with Viscous Dissipation

The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of wall flexibility and Joule heating on the peristaltic transport of a conducting nanofluid in uniform/non-uniform porous channel. The exact solutions are obtained for stream function and velocity. Further, R-K-Fehlberg integration scheme is applied to solve the energy and concentration equations. Results obtained and discussed for the flow over uniform and non-uniform geometries at different values of relevant parameters. Moreover, the trapping phenomena are investigated with the help of streamlines. Non-uniform geometry parameter, magnetic parameter, and permeability parameter have a strong impact on trapping phenomena. The fluid velocity is high in the diverging channel when compared to the uniform channel, while the situation is reversed for temperature and concentration fields. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

Joule heating and wall flexibility effects on the peristaltic flow of magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid

The flow geometry plays a major role in heat and mass transfer processes of many engineering and industrial applications.In the present paper, we examined the combined effects of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux, external magnetic field, chemical reaction, heat source and buoyancy forces on the flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid with heat and mass transfer over three different geometries (cone, wedge and a plate). The nonlinear governing equations are obtained and tackled numerically using shooting technique with Runge-Kutta-Felhberg integration scheme. Numerical results are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively. It is found that the thermal boundary layer is highly effective on the flow over a wedge when compared with the other two geometries (plate and a cone).
