The boundary layer flow of a steady, two-dimensional, incompressible non-Newtonian nanofluid is studied in this analysis over a stretched sheet with an external uniform magnetic field. To analyse the flow of non-Newtonian fluid, the Eyring–Powell model is considered. In the energy equation, Newtonian heating impacts are regarded. The technique of similarity is used to convert non-linear partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. The reduced equations numerical solutions are achieved using the spectral relaxation method (SRM) with the MATLAB package. The spectral relationship method convergence is enhanced by combining SRM with SOR. It is observed that for non-Newtonian nanofluid, the fluid velocity is greater than that of classical nanofluid. The temperature and concentration profiles of nanoparticles increase significantly in order to increase the viscous dissipation and the Newtonian heating parameter. In addition, in the case of magnetic field strength, the surface shear stress is observed to be increased. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &amp; Francis Group.

Effects of Newtonian heating on the boundary layer flow of non-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid over a stretched plate using spectral relaxation method

International Journal of Ambient Energy

In this investigation, the heat and mass transfer characteristics in boundary layer flow about a stretching sheet in a porous medium filled with TiO2&nbsp;&ndash; water and Al2O3&nbsp;&ndash; water-based nanofluids, in the presence of internal heat generation or absorption and viscous dissipation with variable suction or injection effects is numerically studied. The similarity transformations are used to transform the governing boundary layer equations for momentum, energy and species transfer into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically by Keller-box method. The obtained numerical results are validated against results computed by using MATLAB bvp4c routine, and excellent agreement is observed. The impact of various pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration as well as the friction factor coefficient, local heat and mass transfer rates are derived and discussed through graphs and tables for TiO2&nbsp;and Al2O3&nbsp;water-based nanofluids. The present study reveals that an increase in Eckert number (Ec)&nbsp;and heat generation/absorption parameter (Q)&nbsp;significantly decreases local heat transfer rate.

Boundary layer flow of nanofluids to analyse the heat absorption/generation over a stretching sheet with variable suction/injection in the presence of viscous dissipation

This paper reports the dual solutions in the MHD flow of a Casson fluid over a porous shrinking surface. In this study, viscous dissipation and Newtonian heating boundary condition effects are investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into dimensionless form by the similarity transformation and then numerically solved by the Runge–Kutta–Gill procedure together with the shooting method. The non-dimensional velocity, temperature are displayed graphically for different controlling parameters. Dual similarity solutions are obtained for dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles. It is observed that the thermal boundary layer thickness increases as the Newtonian heating parameter increases in the presence of magnetic field. © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &amp; Francis Group.
