Abstract:

In this paper, Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been applied to investigate the effect of magnetic field on Cu-water nanofluid flow in non-parallel walls. The validity of HPM solutions were verified by comparing with numerical results obtained using a fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Effects of active parameters on flow have been presented graphically. The results show that velocity in boundary layer thickness decreased with increase of Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume friction and increased with increasing Hartmann number.

Hydrothermal analysis on MHD squeezing nanofluid flow in parallel plates by analytical method

Background: In this paper, the heat and mass transfer of MHD nanofluid squeezing flow between two parallel plates are investigated. In squeezing flows, a material is compressed between two parallel plates and then squeezed out radially. The significance of this study is the hydrothermal investigation of MHD nanofluid during squeezing flow. The affecting parameters on the flow and heat transfer ...

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...

Transient MHD Convective Flow of Fractional Nanofluid between Vertical Plates

Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...

Radiation Effects on MHD Stagnation-Point Flow in a Nanofluid

In this study, the two-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow in a nanofluid in the presence of thermal radiation is investigated. Using a similarity transform, the NavierStokes equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The similarity equations are solved numerically for three types of nanoparticles, namely copper (Cu), a...
