Abstract In this study, the impact of thermal radiation and partial slip on magnetohydrodynamic flow of the Jeffrey nanofluid comprising motile gyrotactic microorganisms via vertical stretching surface is analyzed. The governing partial differential equations are reformed to a system of coupled ordinary differential equations by utilizing the similarity transformations. The transformed equations are of order four, which are complex to solve analytically and hence, the coupled system is solved computationally by using the shooting technique along the Runge–Kutta integrated scheme. The ramifications of different thermophysical parameters on the density of gyrotactic microorganisms, Jeffrey nanofluid velocity, nanoparticles concentration, temperature, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. Comparing this study with the results already published favors the validity of this study. It is established that the Nusselt number is boosted on enhancing the thermal radiation parameter, and the reverse trend has been observed on increasing the Richardson number, whereas the gyrotactic microorganisms density is more in case of viscous nanofluid compared to the Jeffrey nanofluid.

The present work deals with chemically reacting unsteady magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell nanofluid flow past an inclined permeable stretching surface embedded in a porous medium with thermal radiation. The formulated governing partial differential equations conveying the flow model of Maxwell with Buongiorno modeled nanofluid is transformed into the system of highly non-linear ordinary differential equations via suitable similarity transformations; those equations are transmuted into an initial value problem and then solved numerically by a shooting approach with Runge–-Kutta fourth-order schema. To obtain the physical insight of the flow situation, the influence of associated parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles is sketched graphically with the aid of MATLAB software. Furthermore, engineering quantities of interest are interpreted graphically. The computed numerical results are compared to estimate the validity of the achieved results; it has been found out that the computed results are highly accurate. The impact of the Maxwell parameter and inclination angle of the sheet on the velocity field is observed in decaying. Both thermal and solutal energy transport are progressive in nature as the Maxwell parameter and thermophoresis parameter grows, and a reverse trend is observed for Prandtl number.

Abstract The heat and mass transfer of rotating Casson nanofluid flow is incorporated in the present study. Influence of magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and Joule heating effects are taken into the account. A set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained from the governing partial differential equations with the aid of suitable similarity transformations. The resultant equations are solved for the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique. The impact of several existing physical parameter on velocity, temperature and nanofluid concentration profiles are analyzed through graphs and tables in detail. It is found that, velocity component decreases and temperature component increases for rotating parameter.

This paper analyses the two-dimensional unsteady and incompressible flow of a non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid over a stretching surface. The nanofluid formulated in the present study is TiO2 + Ag + blood, and TiO2 + blood, where in this combination TiO2 + blood is the base fluid and TiO2 + Ag + blood represents the hybrid nanofluid. The aim of the present research work is to improve the heat transfer ratio because the heat transfer ratio of the hybrid nanofluid is higher than that of the base fluid. The novelty of the recent work is the approximate analytical analysis of the magnetohydrodynamics mixed non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid over a stretching surface. This type of combination, where TiO2+blood is the base fluid and TiO2 + Ag + blood is the hybrid nanofluid, is studied for the first time in the literature. The fundamental partial differential equations are transformed to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the guide of some appropriate similarity transformations. The analytical approximate method, namely the optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM), is used for the approximate analytical solution. The convergence of the OHAM for particular problems is also discussed. The impact of the magnetic parameter, dynamic viscosity parameter, stretching surface parameter and Prandtl number is interpreted through graphs. The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are explained in table form. The present work is found to be in very good agreement with those published earlier.

The present study analyses the dissipative influence into an unsteady electrically conducting fluid flow embedded in a pervious medium over a shrinkable sheet. The behavior of thermal radiation and chemical reactions are also contemplated. The governing partial differential equations are reformed to ordinary differential equations by operating similarity transformations. The numerical outcomes for the arising non-linear boundary value problem are determined by implementing the Successive linearization method (SLM) via Matlab software. The velocity, temperature, and concentration magnitudes for distant values of the governing parametric quantities are conferred, and their conduct is debated via graphical curves. The surface drag coefficient increases, whereas the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number decreases for enhancing unsteadiness parameter across suction parameter. Moreover, the magnetic and suction parameters accelerate velocity magnitudes while by raising porosity parameter, velocity decelerates. Larger numeric of thermal radiation parameter and Eckert number accelerates the temperature profile while by enhancing Prandtl number it decelerates. Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameters slowdowns the concentration distribution, and the chemical reaction parameter influences on the point of chemical reaction that benefits the interface mass transfer. It is expected that the current achieved results will furnish fruitful knowledge in industrious utilities.

The current analysis deals with radiative aspects of magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow with heat mass transfer features on electrically conductive Williamson nanofluid by a stretching surface. The impact of variable thickness and thermal conductivity characteristics in view of melting heat flow are examined. The mathematical formulation of Williamson nanofluid flow is based on boundary layer theory pioneered by Prandtl. The boundary layer nanofluid flow idea yields a constitutive flow laws of partial differential equations (PDEs) are made dimensionless and then reduce to ordinary nonlinear differential equations (ODEs) versus transformation technique. A built-in numerical algorithm bvp4c in Mathematica software is employed for nonlinear systems computation. Considerable features of dimensionless parameters are reviewed via graphical description. A comparison with another homotopic approach (HAM) as a limiting case and an excellent agreement perceived.

The present study focuses on the non-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamic flow, under the kinetic postulate, of fluids that are initially liquid past a porous plate in the appearance of thermal radiation effects. Resemblance transfigurations are used to metamorphose the governing equations for temperature and velocity into a system of ordinary differential equations. We then solved these differential equations subject to convenient boundary conditions by using the shooting method along with the Runge–Kutta method. Heat transfer and characteristic flow results are acquired for different compositions of physical parameters. These results are extended graphically to demonstrate interesting attributes of the physics of the problem. Nusselt number and skin friction coefficients are also discussed via graphs and tables for different values of dimensionless parameters. Decline occurs in velocity profile due to escalating values of M. Temperature profile depicts growing behavior due to acceleration in the values of λ and M. Nusselt number and skin friction curves represent rising behavior according to their parameters.

Our motive is to examine the impact of thermal radiation and suction or injection with viscous dissipation on an MHD boundary layer flow past a vertical porous stretched sheet immersed in a porous medium. The set of the flow equations is converted into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. We use Runge Kutta method and shooting technique in MATLAB Package to solve the set of equations. The impact of non-dimensional physical parameters on flow profiles is analysed and depicted in graphs. We observe the influence of non-dimensional physical quantities on the Nusselt number, the Sherwood number, and skin friction and presented in tables. A comparison of the obtained numerical results with existing results in a limiting sense is also presented. We enhance radiation to observe the deceleration of fluid velocity and temperature profile for both suction and injection. While enhancing porosity parameter accelerates velocity whereas decelerates temperature profile. As the heat source parameter increases, the temperature of the fluid decreases for both suction and injection, it has been found. With the increasing values of the radiation parameter, the skin friction and heat transfer rate decreases. Increasing magnetic parameter decelerates the skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number.

This article explores the impact of a magnetic dipole on the heat transfer phenomena of different nano-particles Fe (ferromagnetic) and Fe3O4 (Ferrimagnetic) dispersed in a base fluid ( 60 % water + 40 % ethylene glycol) on micro-polar fluid flow over a stretching sheet. A magnetic dipole in the presence of the ferrities of nano-particles plays an important role in controlling the thermal and momentum boundary layers. The use of magnetic nano-particles is to control the flow and heat transfer process through an external magnetic field. The governing system of partial differential equations is transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity variables, and the transformed equations are then solved numerically by using a variational finite element method. The impact of different physical parameters on the velocity, the temperature, the Nusselt number, and the skin friction coefficient is shown. The velocity profile decreases in the order Fe (ferromagnetic fluid) and Fe3O4 (ferrimagnetic fluid). Furthermore, it was observed that the Nusselt number is decreasing with the increasing values of boundary parameter ( δ ) , while there is controversy with respect to the increasing values of radiation parameter ( N ) . Additionally, it was observed that the ferromagnetic case gained maximum thermal conductivity, as compared to ferrimagnetic case. In the end, the convergence of the finite element solution was observed; the calculations were found by reducing the mesh size.

In this paper, an analysis is made for the unsteady flow due to an expanding cylinder in a nanofluid that contains both nanoparticles and gyrotactic microoganisms with suction. The nonlinear system of partial differential equations is transformed into high-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations, and then solved numerically using a shooting method with fourth-fifth-order Runge–Kutta integration technique. The influences of significant physical parameters on the distributions of the velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, as well as the density of motile microorganisms are graphically presented and discussed in detail. It is found that dual solutions exist for both stretching and shrinking cases and the range of dual solutions increases with the strength of the expansion. The results also indicate that larger bioconvection Peclet number and smaller Schmidt number lead to an increased concentration of microorganisms and thicker boundary layer thickness.
