The Impact

In this paper, a mathematical model is established to examine the impacts of Stefan blowing on the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid over a stretching sheet in the existence of thermal radiation, Arrhenius activation energy and chemical reaction. It is proposed to use the Buongiorno nanofluid model to synchronize the effects of magnetic and electric fields on the velocity and temperature fields to enhance the thermal conductivity. We utilized suitable transformation to simplify the governing partial differential equation (PDEs) into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The obtained equations were solved numerically with the help of the Runge–Kutta 4th order using the shooting technique in a MATLAB environment. The impact of the developing flow parameters on the flow characteristics is analyzed appropriately through graphs and tables. The velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle concentration profiles decrease for various values of involved parameters, such as hydrodynamic slip, thermal slip and solutal slip. The nanoparticle concentration profile declines in the manifestation of the chemical reaction rate, whereas a reverse demeanor is noted for the activation energy. The validation was conducted using earlier works published in the literature, and the results were found to be incredibly consistent.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate steady two-dimensional laminar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible Jeffrey fluid past over a linearly stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity transformations. Then the ODEs are solved by applying Runge-Kutta fourth order method accompanied with shooting technique. The effects of various physical parameters characterizing the flow phenomenon including Deborah number, ratio of relaxation to retardation times, magnetic parameter, porous parameter, Prandtl number, Eckert number, heat source / sink parameter, Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter on dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed. The numerical results are obtained and presented in graphs. The present results are compared with the earlier published results as a particular case.

Fluid Properties

The unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of nanofluid with variable fluid properties over an inclined stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction is studied taking into account the effect of variable fluid properties in thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The numerical solutions of the problem are obtained by using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method in line with the shooting technique. It is found that the increase in both thermal conductivity and radiative heat flux decreases the heat transfer rate but increases the skin friction and mass transfer rates. It is further observed that the increase in porosity parameter and magnetic field reduces the skin friction, heat, and mass transfer rates.
