The main purpose of the present analysis is to report the numerical solution of the thermal radiations and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect on the flow of micropolar nanofluid. Further, the effect of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on the flow field are also elucidated. The combined phenomenon of heat and mass transfer is considered. Compatible similarities are implemented for the conversion of nonlinear ordinary differential equations from nonlinear partial differential equations. The numerical solution of the governing differential equations is obtained via the implicit Keller box technique. This is an efficient scheme based on the finite difference method. Findings demonstrate that the heat and mass exchange reduce with growth of the Brinkman parameter, whereas the wall shear stress enhances with improving the magnitude of the Brinkman factor. The temperature contour enhances when the radiation parameter reaches its peak, which is useful for industrial processes. The heat and mass flow rates decrease against higher magnitudes of inclination.

In this work, the flow of a couple stress nanofluid in a vertical channel with heat and mass transfer in the presence of a magnetic field and taking account the Brownian motion, the thermophoresis as well as the effect of Soret and Dufour was simulated numerically using Matlab following the code bvp4c. The nonlinear partial differential equations governing this particular flow are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations via the similarity technique. The influence of the parameters describing the behavior of the problem studied on the velocity, temperature, concentration and volume fraction fields of the nanoparticles, as well as on the coefficient of friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, were highlighted for the end of the study. understand their effect on heat and mass transfer. The rheology of the nanofluid and the magnetic field have a strong impact on the velocity and temperature profiles, while the parameters of Brownian motion and thermophoresis promote heat transfer.

An attempt has been made to study the heat and mass transfer effect in a boundary layer flow through porous medium of an electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid over a shrinking sheet subject to transverse magnetic field in the presence of heat source. Effects of radiation, viscous dissipation, and uniform heat sink on the heat transfer have been considered. The method of solution involves similarity transformation. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations representing momentum, concentration, and nonhomogenous heat equation are reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved by applying Kummer’s function. The exact solution of temperature field is obtained for power-law surface temperature (PST) as well as power-law heat flux (PHF) boundary condition. The interaction of magnetic field is proved to be counterproductive in enhancing velocity and concentration distribution, whereas presence of porous matrix reduces the temperature field at all points.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of the mixed convection on a vertical plate in a micropolar fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude is applied normal to the plate. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using the Keller-box method. The numerical results are compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published results as special cases of the present investigation. The rate of heat and mass transfer at the plate are presented graphically for various values of coupling number, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, Dufour and Soret numbers. In addition, the skin-friction coefficient, the wall couple stress are shown in a tabular form.

A model based on the works of Buongiorno, which includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis, is used to develop the governing equations for convection in nanofluids. The analysis includes examples with water and ethylene glycol as the base fluids and nanoparticles of Cu and Al2O3. An assumption of zero nanoparticle flux is used at the surface of the plate to make the model more physically realistic. The model accounts for the effects of both Brownian motion and thermophoresis in the mass boundary condition. Using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically. The dimensionless velocity, temperature, and concentration gradients are used in the second law analysis to determine heat and mass transfer rates. It is shown that the dimensionless entropy generation rate strongly depends upon the solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles, local Reynolds number, and group parameters.

In this paper, heat and mass transfer for liquid evaporation along a vertical plate covered with a thin porous layer has been investigated. The continuity, momentum, energy and mass balance equations, which are coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to a set of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations and solved analytically and numerically by using the shooting technique in MATLAB. The effect of various parameters like the Froude number, the porosity, the Darcy number, the Prandtl number, the Lewis number and the driving parameters on the temperature and concentration profiles are presented and discussed. It is viewed that the heat transfer performance is enhanced by the presence of a porous layer. The local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood numbers are computed and analyzed both numerically and graphically.

This paper deals with the examination effect of Dufour and Soret Effect on MHD heat and mass transfer with radiative heat flux in a liquid over a rotating dick. The problem is solved by HAM (Homotopy Analysis Method). The arrangement of Non-Linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) which administer the stream, heat and mass exchange qualities is changed into Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). It is discovered from the current exploration that Dufour and radiation impacts cause diminishments in the liquid temperature. The effect of suction diminishes the speed, temperature, what’s more, focus profiles essentially in the limit layer.

AbstractA numerical analysis was performed to study the effects of combined magnetohydrodynamic and thermal radiation under convective boundary condition over a semi infinite vertical plate embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium. Coupled heat and mass transfer of free convective boundary layer with viscous nanofluid are considered. The model used for the nanofluid includes the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis mechanisms, while the Darcy-Forchheimer model is used for the porous medium. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into the ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformations. The accuracy of the method is observed by a comparison with other works reduced to a common case. Many results are tabulated and representative set is displayed graphically to illustrate the influence of the various parameters of interest on different profiles. Extensive numerical investigations show that the flow field, temperature, concentration and nanoparticle volume fraction shapes are significantly influenced by magnetic parameter, regular Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, regular buoyancy ratio parameter and Biot number. Heat and mass transfer rates are significantly affected by the level of the applied magnetic field and the convective heat coefficient.

In this paper, micropolar nanofluid boundary layer flow over a linear inclined stretching surface with the magnetic effect is investigated. Buongiorno’s model utilized in this study for the thermal efficiencies of the fluid flow in the presence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis properties. The nonlinear problem for micropolar nanofluid flow over an inclined sheet is established to study the heat and mass exchange phenomenon by considering portent flow parameters to strengthen the boundary layers. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are changed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and then solved numerically by applying the Keller-Box method. A comparison of the setup results in the absence of the incorporated impacts is performed with the accessible results and perceived in a decent settlement. Numerical and graphical outcomes are additionally presented in tables and diagrams.

This paper deals with the study of  nonlinear MHD flow, with heat and mass transfer characteristics of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting and Boussinesq fluid on a vertical stretching surface with thermal stratification and chemical reaction by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. Adopting the similarity transformation, governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the problem are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The Quasi-linearization technique is used for the non-linear momentum equation and then the numerical solution of the problem is derived using implicit finite difference technique, for different values of the dimensionless parameters. The numerical values obtained for velocity profiles, temperature profiles and concentration profiles are represent graphically in figures.  The results obtained show that the flow field is influenced appreciably by the presence of viscous dissipation, thermal stratification, chemical reaction and magnetic field.DOI: 10.3329/jname.v7i1.3254
