In this paper, we theoretically analyzed the effects of non-uniform heat source/sink on the magnetohydrodynamic dissipative flow of a Carreau fluid towards a thermally stratified melting surface of the paraboloid of revolution. Exponential heat source along with the temperature dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity are taken into account. The representing differential conditions are changed into an arrangement of non-straight coupled ODE’s and solved by employing the R-K with shooting system. Numerical arrangements are obtained from the flow, temperature profiles of various parametric values and after that domino effect are exhibited graphically and also a friction factor and local Sherwood number of various physical parameters are demonstrated graphically and in tabular form. Boosting values of the Weissenberg number increase both the velocity and thermal profiles of Carreau fluid. Rising values of velocity power law index parameter depreciate both the flow and local Sherwood number.

Combined influence of viscous dissipation and non-uniform heat source/sink on MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux

Nowadays external magnetic fields are capable of setting the thermal and physical properties of magnetic-nanofluids and regulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics. The strength of the applied magnetic field affects the thermal conductivity of magnetic nanofluids and makes it aeolotropic. With this incentive, we investigate the flow and heat transfer of electrically conducting liquid film flow of Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet by considering the aligned magnetic field in the presence of space and temperature dependent heat source/sink and viscous dissipation. For this study, we considered kerosene as the base fluid embedded with the silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles. Numerical results are determined by employing Runge-Kutta and Newton’s methods. Graphs are exhibited and explained for various parameters of interest. The influence of pertinent parameters on reduced Nusselt number, flow and heat transfer is discussed with the assistance of graphs and tables. It is found that thermal boundary layer of Ag-kerosene nanofluid is highly effective when compared with the Cu-kerosene nanofluid. It is also found that the thermal and momentum boundary layers of Cu-kerosene and Ag-kerosene nanofluids are not uniform. © 2017, Global Digital Central. All rights reserved.
