Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) deals with the analysis of electrically conducting fluids. The study of nanofluids by considering the influence of MHD phenomena is a topic of great interest from an industrial and technological point of view. Thus, the modified MHD mixed convective, nonlinear, radiative and dissipative problem was modelled over an arc-shaped geometry for Al2O3 + H2O nanofluid at 310 K and the freezing temperature of 273.15 K. Firstly, the model was reduced into a coupled set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The impact of the freezing temperature and the molecular diameter were incorporated in the energy equation. Then, the Runge–Kutta scheme, along with the shooting technique, was adopted for the mathematical computations and code was written in Mathematica 10.0. Further, a comprehensive discussion of the flow characteristics is provided. The results for the dynamic viscosity, heat capacity and effective density of the nanoparticles were examined for various nanoparticle diameters and volume fractions.

In this article, the steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting bio-nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking wedge in the presence of passively control boundary condition, Stefan blowing and multiple slips is numerically investigated. Magnetic induction is also taken into account. The governing conservation equations are rendered into a system of ordinary differential equations via appropriate similarity transformations. The reduced system is solved using a fast, convergent Chebyshev collocation method. The influence of selected parameters on the dimensionless velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and density of motile microorganisms as well as on the local skin friction, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and density of motile microorganism numbers is discussed and presented graphically. Validation with previously published results is performed and an excellent agreement is found. The study is relevant to electromagnetic manufacturing processes involving bio-nanofluids.

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.

The analysis of unsteady tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow past a wedge with injection-suction, because of its beneficial uses, has gained a lot of attention. The present study is mainly concerned with tangent hyperbolic nanofluid (non-Newtonian nanofluid). First, we have converted the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. Boundary conditions are also transformed by utilizing suitable similarity transformation. Now, for the obtained ODEs, we have used the numerical technique bvp 4 c and investigated the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The accuracy of the flow model is validated by applying MAPLE d-solve command having good agreement while comparing the numerical results obtained by bvp4c for both suction and injection cases. The effects of distinct dimensionless parameters on the various profiles are being analyzed. The novel features such as thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also discussed to investigate the characteristics of heat and mass transfer. Graphical representation of the impact of varying parameters and the solution method for the abovementioned model is thoroughly discussed. It was observed that suction or injection can play a key role in controlling boundary layer flow and brings stability in the flow. It was also noticed that by increasing the Darcy number, velocity profile increases in both injection-suction cases.

The awareness of heat and mass transfer in nanofluid flows with magnetohydrodynamic conditions over cone and wedge is very significant for design of heat exchangers, transpiration, fiber coating, etc. With this initiation, we construct a mathematical model to investigate the chemical reaction effects on electrically conducting magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow over a cone and a wedge. For this purpose, we also consider a nonlinear thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, Joule heating with non-uniform heat source/sink. The transformed equations are solved by using shooting technique based on RK fourth order method. Effects of pertinent parameters of concern on the common profiles are conversed (in two cases). It is perceived that the momentum, temperature and concentration boundary layers are non-uniform for the flow over a wedge and a cone Key words: MHD, Non-linear Radiation, nanofluid, Chemical Reaction, heat generation.

The swirling flow inside a circular elastic tube with expanding and contracting permeable wall in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is studied analytically. The tube is also assumed to be rotating around its axis with an angular velocity. The governing equations for this multidimensional flow are reduced to nonlinear differential equations with similarity transformations. An analytic series solution is obtained by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of physical parameters on various flow characteristics, such as the velocity, skin friction, and pressure variation, have been analysed briefly. The impact of surface expansion/contraction and rotation has been investigated on the internal boundary-layer flow inside the tube of uniform cross-section.

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 reveals the physical properties of Jeffery nanofluid flow past a moving plate embedded in porous medium under the existence of radiation and thermal diffusion. The analysis is carried out in three cases of moving plate, namely stationary plate λ = 0, forth-moving plate λ = 1, back-moving plate λ = −1. Finite difference method is applied to solve the governing equations of the flow and pointed out the variations in velocity, temperature and concentration with the use of graphical presentations. The impact of several parameters on local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number is also noticed and discussed. Enhancement of velocity is observed under the impact of Jeffery parameter for the cases of stationary plate and back-moving plate, whereas reverse nature is found in the case of forth-moving plate. The velocity enhances as the values of porosity parameter increases for the case of stationary plate and forth-moving plate but a reverse nature is noticed in the case of back-moving plate.

Analyzing the impacts of Cattaneo-Christov flux, bioconvective Raleigh number and cross diffusion effects in electrically conducting micropolar fluid through a paraboloid revolution is assessed in this work. Non-dimensional equations are solved numerically using shooting technique with an aid of Matlab software. The impact of various parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration are discussed in detail and presented graphically. Harman number and micro rotation parameters are found and have an increasing influence on shear stress. The vertical velocity increases at free stream and the horizontal velocity increases near the surface when Grb increases, which follows the opposite trend for accumulation of Rb. The numerical results are compared with the available data indicating good agreement in a limiting case.

The flow of nanofluid over a curved Riga surface is a topic of interest in the field of fluid dynamics. A literature survey revealed that the impacts of freezing temperature and the diameter of nanoparticles on the heat transfer over a curved Riga surface have not been examined so far. Therefore, the flow of nanoparticles, which comprises the influences of freezing temperature and nanoparticle diameter in the energy equation, was modeled over a curved Riga surface. The model was reduced successfully in the nondimensional version by implementing the feasible similarity transformations and effective models of nanofluids. The coupled nonlinear model was then examined numerically and highlighted the impacts of various flow quantities in the flow regimes and heat transfer, with graphical aid. It was examined that nanofluid velocity dropped by increasing the flow parameters γ and S, and an abrupt decrement occurred at the surface of the Riga sheet. The boundary layer region enhances for larger γ. The temperature distribution was enhanced for a more magnetized nanofluid, and the thermal boundary layer increased with a larger R parameter. The volume fraction of the nanoparticles favors the effective density and dynamic viscosity of the nanofluids. A maximum amount of heat transfer at the surface was observed for a more magnetized nanofluid.
