In this investigation, the problem of the study is the effect of the magnetic field and viscous dissipation on heat transfer flow through a moving wedge in the existence of the internal heat generation/absorption and also suction/injection. The governing equations are changed to some coupled nonlinear differential equations with aid of similarity variables. The numerical calculations of the equations are solved by the MATLAB package solver bvp5c. The changes of the pertinent constraints on the momentum and temperature have been discussed through graphs and numerical values of skin friction and heat transfer factor are listed in the tabular pattern. Although maintaining a constant value for the convection parameter, the Nusselt number is increased for $Q>0$ and decreased for $Q<0$. The temperature rises in conjunction with an increase in $\mathit{Ec}$ and $\mathit{Nc}$ variables.     

Adomian decomposition method for the MHD flow of a viscous fluid with the influence of dissipative heat energy

An investigation is carried out on the effect of dissipative heat energy on the flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid past a shrinking sheet. Both viscous and Joule dissipation effects are considered along with heat generation/absorption for the enhancement of heat transfer properties. The governing nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by a suitable choice of similarity transformations. However, the complex transformed equations are solved by an approximate analytical method known as the Adomian decomposition method with a suitable initial guess solution assumed from the known initial conditions. Moreover, the behavior of several parameters characterizing the flow phenomena are studied via graphs and the numerical computations for the engineering coefficients are obtained and presented through tables. However, the major outcomes of the results are that a higher suction is required to resist the fluid temperature and sinks as well as the dissipative heat energy favors enhancing the fluid temperature at all points in the flow domain.     

Influence of an inclined stretching cylinder over MHD mixed convective nanofluid flow due to chemical reaction and viscous dissipation

This paper analyzed the steady two‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective viscous nanofluid and heat transfer toward an inclined stretching cylinder with chemical reaction and uniform magnetic field. The governing partial differential equation in a cylindrical form is reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity transformation and solved numerically by spectral quasilinearization methods (SQLMs). A new approach of this method is employed to derive numerical expressions for velocity, temperature, and concentration profile. The convergence and accuracy of our numerical scheme are observed. The SQLM is employed to find out the convergent series solution. There is an increase in the temperature profiles due to the increase in the thermophoresis parameter. The increase in effective Eckert number results in the increase of the temperature profile.     

Numerical study of Williamson fluid flow and heat transfer over a permeable stretching cylinder with the effects of Joule heating and heat generation/absorption

The present study aims to discuss the Williamson fluid flow and heat transfer across a permeable stretching cylinder with heat generation/absorption effects. The effects of viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and magnetic field are also taken into account. The BVP-4C numerical solver in MATLAB is adopted for all the numerical simulations in the present study. For this, the modeled partial differential equations are translated into dimensionless ordinary differential equations using some well-developed similarity transformations. A good agreement between the numerical results of the present study and existing literature is exhibited. The dimensionless physical parameters being investigated are Reynolds number, magnetic field parameter, suction parameter, heat source/sink parameter, Williamson fluid parameter, and mixed convection parameter. The numerical calculations are also performed for the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number to get an understanding of the shear stress rate and heat transfer rate, respectively. Furthermore, the impact of all these physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles is investigated and represented throughout the literature.     

Numerical analysis on the heat and mass transfer MHD flow characteristics of nanofluid on an inclined spinning disk with heat absorption and chemical reaction

This work examines the heat transfer properties of magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow. Through a similarity conversion, the leading structure of partial differential equations is changed to that of ordinary differential equations. A rigorous mathematical bvp4c methodology is used to generate numerical results. The purpose of this study is to characterize the different temperature, concentration, and velocity limitations on a nanofluid with a magnetic effect that is spinning. The findings for rotating nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanoparticles are shown using graphs and tables. The influence of physical factors such as heat transfer rates and skin friction coefficients is studied. When the magnetic parameter M is raised, the velocity of the nanoliquid decreases. A rise in thermal radiation (Rd) causes the temperature graphs to grow substantially, although the concentration profiles exhibit the opposite tendency. The effect of the convective heat transfer factor Bi on temperature is shown to increase as Bi increases, but the concentration distribution decreases as Biot increases.     

Effects of the viscous dissipation and chemical reaction on Casson nanofluid flow over the permeable stretching/shrinking sheet

A steady two‐dimensional Casson nanofluid flow over the permeable stretching/shrinking sheet along the viscous dissipation and the chemical reaction is studied in this article. The convective boundary condition is incorporated in energy equation. Similarity variables are applied to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical solutions of the equations are obtained by using the shooting method with Maple implementation. The numerical findings indicate occurrence of the dual solutions for a certain range of stretching/shrinking and suction parameters. Therefore, a stability analysis is done to find the solution that is stable and physically realizable. The effects of the pertinent physical parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are investigated graphically. Numerical results of various parameters involved for skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt as well as Sherwood numbers are determined and also discussed in detail. The Casson and suction parameters decrease the velocity in the first solution, whereas they increase it in the second solution. The rate of heat transfer increases in both solutions with an increment in Eckert number, Biot number, thermophoresis, and Brownian motion parameters. Thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters show opposite behavior in the nanoparticle's concentration. The nanoparticle concentration decreases in both solutions with increment in Schmidt number, Brownian motion, and chemical reaction parameters.

This work is focused on steady flow and heat transfer in a porous medium saturated with a Sisko nanofluid (non‐Newtonian power‐law) over a nonlinearly stretching sheet in the presence of heat generation/absorption.

A rapprochement of the numerical results of the actual study with formerly published data detected an excellent agreement.

However, skin friction was accelerated with the augmented values of radiation absorption. Velocity accelerated, with the progressive values of angle of inclination. Concentration declined with the various augmentation values of chemical reaction as well as Schmidt number.

The present contribution determines the impacts of viscous dissipation and Ohmic heating with magnetic coating on Prandtl nanofluid flow driven by an unsteady bidirectionally moveable surface. Random motion of nanoparticles and thermophoretic diffusion are elaborated through a two-phase nanofluid model. The novelty of the investigation is fortified by prescribed heat flux and prescribed mass flux mechanisms. The appropriate combination of variables leads to a system of strong nonlinear ordinary differential equations.

The present study employs irreversibility analysis for the peristaltic movement of a nanofluid. The viscosity of the nanofluid is assumed to vary with the local concentration of colloidal particles. Impacts of thermophoresis, magnetic field, Brownian motion, Ohmic heating, viscous dissipation, and buoyant forces are considered in the flow analysis. Equations representing the flow and heat/mass transfer are prepared by employing Buongiorno's model for nanofluids. The lubrication approach is used to simplify the governing equations. The resulting system of differential equations is numerically solved with the aid of NDSolve in Mathematica. Results for entropy generation, Bejan number, velocity, temperature, and concentration are graphically presented. Outcomes show that entropy generation and temperature reduce by increasing the values of viscosity parameter. By increasing buoyancy forces due to temperature difference, the entropy generation increases, whereas the concentration profile shows a decreasing behavior. Maximum velocity reduces with an increment in the Hartman number.

Thermal performance of Ag–water nanofluid flow over a curved surface due to chemical reaction using Buongiorno's model

An analysis of heat and mass transfer is carried out under the influence of chemical reaction, friction heating, and heat generation/absorption over a curved surface. The impacts of random motion attributes of nanoparticles and thermophoresis are also applied in the expressions of energy and concentration. With the help of assigned transformations, the nonlinear partial differential equations are changed to dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Then, the numerical solution is obtained using fourth‐fifth order Runge‐Kutta‐Fehlberg method via the shooting technique. The impacts of relevant parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration are depicted through graphs and tables. The results illustrate that the lowest concentration distribution of nanofluid is related to the higher value of chemical reaction parameter. Moreover, it is found that thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters have a propensity to increase the temperature profile while curvature parameter decreases the velocity profile. Also, velocity and temperature fields show a similar behavior for the increasing values of volume fraction of the nanoparticles, while a reverse trend is observed in the concentration profile under the same condition. To authenticate the results of the current study, the obtained data were compared with previously published data.
