This study is aimed to analyze the steady of stagnation point flow and radiative heat transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid which is Casson fluid passing over an exponentially permeable slippery Riga plate in presence of thermal radiation, magnetic field, velocity slip, thermal slip, and viscous dissipation effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation then solved numerically by boundary value problem solver (BVP4C) in MATLAB software package. The numerical results are evaluated with previous researches to reach an agreement with the parameters of the current study. This study is discussing the behavior of the velocity and temperature profiles as well as skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number for various physical parameters such as magnetic field, radiation, suction, thermal slip, velocity slip, Prandtl number, Eckert number and modified Hartmann number. Numerical results are shown graphically for each parameter with different values. It is found that the momentum boundary layer thickness increases with increasing the values of Casson parameter. The temperature decreases when the velocity slip parameter and thermal slip parameter are increased.
This study investigates the heat transfer dissipation on stagnation point flow over a slippery stretching/shrinking cylinder in a copper nanofluid by considering the effect of viscous dissipation. A system of nonlinear partial differential equations is modelled and transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The governing equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are analysed numerically using a bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The solutions are found to be dependent on the Eckert number and slip parameters. The results are represented by the velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number. Dual solutions are observed for the shrinking cylinder in the presence of Eckert number. Velocity profile and skin friction coefficient consistently increase while temperature profile increases initially and then decreases with the increase of slip parameter for both first and second solutions. Moreover, the presence of copper nanoparticles reduces the thermal boundary layer thickness. This research can be enhanced by using hybrid nanofluids to further improve the heat transfer.
This study investigates the effects of slip parameters and velocity power index parameter along with wall thickness on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of a Williamson nanofluid through a stretching sheet in porous medium. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the relevant similarity variables. These nonlinear ODEs are solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg in MAPLE software. The effects of the pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles are presented graphically. The impact of the physical parameters on the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are computed and analyzed. The velocity profile increases when the velocity slip parameter increases. The temperature slip and nanoparticle fraction slip parameters reduce the temperature and the nanoparticle volume fraction profiles respectively. The temperature and the nanoparticle volume fraction profiles significantly increase due to the increase in the velocity power index. An opposite behaviour is observed on different values of the wall thickness parameter when the power index is less than one compared to greater than one.
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow over an exponentially permeable stretching sheet in a thermally and chemically stratified porous medium with heat source is investigated. The partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically with MAPLE software. The effect of the pertinent parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are examined graphically. The results indicated that the velocity profile decreases with increasing value of porosity, magnetic, and suction parameters. The temperature increases with porosity, magnetic and heat source parameters. The concentration profile increases with the increase in porosity and magnetic parameters. Thermal stratification reduces the temperature while chemical stratification reduces the concentration of the fluid.
