A numerical study is conducted for the Joule heating effects on fluid flow and heat transfer of radiatively participating magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) under different levels of thermal radiation considering the Hall effects in a square cavity. In the cavity, the vertical walls are isothermal with constant but different temperatures, while the horizontal walls are adiabatic. The absorption, emission, and scattering of the fluid and the reflection, absorption, and emission of the walls are all taken into account. The governing equations for momentum and energy together with the boundary conditions are solved by the finite volume method (FVM), while the governing equation for radiative transfer is solved by the discrete ordinates method (DOM). Tabular and graphical results are presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms, Nusselt number, and the average temperature of the fluid. After detailed analysis, we found that the Joule heating has notable effects on fluid flow and heat transfer in the cavity and Joule heating cannot be neglected in certain range of parameters.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the heat transfer characteristic of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) hybrid nanofluid over the linear stretching and shrinking surface in the presence of suction and thermal radiation effects. Design/methodology/approach Mathematical equations are transformed into pairs of self-similarity equations using similarity transformation. Boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB was adopted to solve the system of reduced similarity equations. In this study, the authors particularly examine the flow and heat transfer properties for different values of suction and thermal radiation parameters using single-phase nanofluid model. A comparison of the present results shows a good agreement with the published results. Findings It is noticed that the efficiency of heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid (Cu-Al2O3/H2O) is greater than the nanofluid (Cu/H2O). Furthermore, it is also found that dual solutions exist for a specific range of the stretching/shrinking parameter with different values of suction and radiation parameters. The results indicate that the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number increase with suction effect. The values of the skin friction coefficient increases, but the local Nusselt number decreases for the first solution with the increasing of thermal radiation parameter. It is also observed that suction and thermal radiation widen the range of the stretching/shrinking parameter for which the solution exists. Practical implications In practice, the investigation on the flow and heat transfer of MHD hybrid nanofluid through a stretching/shrinking sheet with suction and thermal radiation effects is very important and useful. The problems related to hybrid nanofluid has numerous real-life and industrial applications, for example microfluidics, manufacturing, transportation, military and biomedical, etc. Originality/value In specific, this study focused on increasing thermal conductivity using a hybrid nanofluid mathematical model. This paper is able to obtain the dual solutions. To the best of author’s knowledge, this study is new and there is no previous published work similar to present study.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a hybrid nanofluid (Cu-Al2O3/water) in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics and thermal radiation over a permeable moving surface. Design/methodology/approach By choosing appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into a system of linear equations which are solved by using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB. The implementation of stability analysis verifies the achievable result of the first solution which is considered stable while the second solution is unstable. Findings The findings revealed that the presence of a magnetic field and suction slows down the fluid motion because of the synchronism of the magnetic and electric field occurred from the formation of the Lorentz force. Also, the enhancement of the thermal radiation parameter escalates the heat transfer rate of the current study. Originality/value The present study is addressing the problem of MHD flow and heat transfer analysis of a hybrid nanofluid towards a permeable moving surface, with the consideration of the thermal radiation effect. The authors show that in both cases of assisting and opposing flow, there exist dual solutions within a specific range of the moving parameters. A stability analysis approved that only one of the solutions are physically relevant.

Purpose The investigation of fluid flow and heat transfer is incredibly significant in the present era, particularly in the engineering and manufacturing industries. Hence, this study aims to concern with analysing the unsteady stagnation point flow towards a permeable stretching/shrinking Riga plate of Al2O3-Cu/H2O. The effect of thermal radiation on the boundary layer flow is also taken into account. Design/methodology/approach The multi-variable differential equations with partial derivatives are transformed into third-order and second-order differential equations by applying appropriate transformations. The reduced mathematical model is solved in the MATLAB system by using the bvp4c procedure. This solution approach is capable of producing multiple solutions once the necessary assumptions are provided. Findings The results of various control parameters were analysed, and it has been observed that raising the solution viscosity from 0% to 0.5% and 1% improves the coefficient of skin friction and thermal conductivity by almost 1.0% and 1.9%. Similar response and observation can be witnessed in the addition of modified Hartmann number where the highest values dominate about 10.7% improvement. There is a substantial enhancement in the heat transfer rate, approximately 1.8% when the unsteadiness parameter leads around 30% in the boundary layer flow. In contrast, the increment in thermal radiation promotes heat transfer deterioration. Further, more than one solution is proven, which invariably leads to a stability analysis, which validates the first solution’s feasibility. Originality/value The present results are new and original for the study of flow and heat transfer on unsteady stagnation point flow past a permeable stretching/shrinking Riga plate in Al2O3-Cu/H2O hybrid nanofluid with thermal radiation.
