abstract

mhd boundary layer flow of two phase model nanofluid over a vertical plate is investigated both analytically and numerically. a system of governing nonlinear partial differential equations is converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by suitable similarity transformations and then solved analytically using homotopy analysis method and numerically by the fourth order runge-kutta method along with shooting iteration technique. the effects of magnetic parameter, prandtl number, lewis number, buoyancy-ratio parameter, brownian motion parameter and thermophoresis parameter on the velocity profile, temperature profile and concentration profile of the nanofluid are discussed graphically. the values of reduced local nusselt number and reduced local sherwood number are tabulated and discussed. it is noted that the brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters enhance the velocity distribution and the temperature distribution, but it suppress the concentration distribution. furthermore, comparisons have been made with bench mark solutions for a special case and obtained a very good agreement..

Unsteady Viscous Dissipative Dusty Nanofluid Flow Over a Vertical Plate

Abstract— The flow past an infinite vertical isothermal plate started impulsively in its own plane in a viscous incompressible two-phase nanofluid has been considered by taking into account the viscous dissipative heat. Two nano particles Copper (Cu) and Alumina (Al2O3) are submerged in a base fluid, Water (H20). The coupled non-linear partial differential equations which govern the flow are so...

Analytical and numerical investigation of heat and mass transfer effects on magnetohydrodynamic natural convective flow past a vertical porous plate

The aim of this investigation is to study the effect of hall current on an unsteady natural convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting optically thick radiating fluid past a vertical porous plate in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The Rosseland diffusion approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. Analytical a...

Study of MHD Nanofluid Flow over a Horizontal Stretching Plate by Analytical Methods

Abstract The nonlinear two-dimensional forced-convection boundary-layer magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) incompressible flow of nanofluid over a horizontal stretching flat plate with variable magnetic field including the viscous dissipation effect is solved using the Variational iteration method (VIM), homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM). In the paper, our result...

Numerical simulation of nanofluid flow over diamond-shaped elements in tandem in laminar and turbulent flow

In this paper, the Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in laminar and turbulent flows inside tubes fitted with diamond-shaped turbulators is numerically modeled. The nanofluid flow is modeled by employing a two-phase mixture method and applying the constant heat flux boundary condition at tube walls. In the results, the effects of different parameters such as the geometry of turbulators, volume fraction...

Analytical and numerical studies on heat transfer of a nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet with second-order slip flow model

Background: The objective of the present study is to analyse the steady second-order slip flow and heat transfer of an incompressible viscous water-based nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet both analytically and numerically. Methods: Using the scaling group transformations, a system of partial differential equations governing the flow and thermal fields is transformed into a system of o...
