Nanoparticle Shape Effect on a Sodium–Alginate Based Cu–Nanofluid under a Transverse Magnetic Field

Sodium-alginate (SA) based nanofluids represent a new generation of fluids with improved performances in terms heat transfer. This work examines the influence nanoparticle shape on non–Newtonian viscoplastic Cu–nanofluid pertaining to this category. In particular, stretching/shrinking sheet subjected transverse magnetic field is considered. The proposed consists four different nanoparticles having shapes, namely bricks, cylinders, platelets, and blades dispersed mixture sodium alginate Prandtl number Pr = 6.45. Suitable similarity transformations are employed reduce non–linear PDEs into system ODEs these equations related boundary conditions solved numerically by means Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF) method. Moreover, analytical solutions obtained through application MAPLE built–in differential equation solver (Dsolve). behavior prominent parameters against velocity temperature analyzed. It found that increases for all shapes parameter Eckert number.
