Model Equations

In this paper, we have reported the effects of Hall current on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) unsteady heat and mass transfer of Casson nanofluid flow through a vertical plate in the presence of radiation and chemical reaction. The model equations have been used for the Casson nanofluid and they include the effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Then, the obtained model equations have been transformed into nondimensional form by the usual mathematical procedure of transformation and the resultant nondimensional couple of partial differential equations are solved by explicit finite difference technique. Then, the obtained results are plotted after stability test by using the graphical software tecplot-9 and these results indicate the fluid flow, temperature, and concentration distributions which are significantly invaded by the variation of different dimensionless parameters such as magnetic parameter, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, Lewis number, Prandtl number, mass Grashof number, Dufour number, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter, chemical reaction, and radiation parameter on velocity, temperature, and concentration along with the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number. Further, the results have been discussed also with the help of graphs. Furthermore, it is observed that with the increase of the Casson parameter, velocity puts down, whereas by increasing the heat generation parameter, the temperature profiles are decreased.

Nonlinearly Stretching Sheet

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate a three-dimensional boundary layer flow with considering heat and mass transfer on a nonlinearly stretching sheet by using a novel operational-matrix-based method. Design/methodology/approach The partial differential equations that governing the problem are converted into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with considering suitable similarity transformations. A direct numerical method based on the operational matrices of integration and product for the linear barycentric rational basic functions is used to solve the nonlinear system of ODEs. Findings Graphical and tabular results are provided to illustrate the effect of various parameters involved in the problem on the velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle volume fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient. Comparison between the obtained results, numerical results based on the Maple's dsolve (type = numeric) command and previous existing results affirms the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Originality/value The motivation of the present study is to provide an effective computational method based on the operational matrices of the barycentric cardinal functions for solving the problem of three-dimensional nanofluid flow with heat and mass transfer. The convergence analysis of the presented scheme is discussed. The benefit of the proposed method (PM) is that, without using any collocation points, the governing equations are converted to the system of algebraic equations.

Double Dispersion

A non-Darcian model has been employed to investigate a nanofluid flow in a porous layer with double dispersion effects. The model incorporates Brownian motion and thermophoresis to study heat and mass transfer characteristics within the nanofluid. A similarity transformation is used to obtain a system of ordinary differential equations that are solved numerically using a linearization method. The effects of fluid and physical parameters such as thermal and solutal dispersions, the Brownian motion, and thermophoresis on the heat and mass transfer characteristics of the nanofluid are determined, and for some limiting cases, compared to results in the literature.
