The present study is related to the effects of activation energy and thermophoretic diffusion on steady micropolar fluid along with Brownian motion. The activation energy and thermal conductivity of steady micropolar fluid are also discussed. The equation of motion, angular momentum, temperature, concentration, and their boundary conditions are presented for the micropolar fluid. The detail of geometry reveals the effects of several parameters on the parts of the system. The nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and a famous shooting scheme is used to present the numerical solutions. The comparison of the obtained results by the shooting technique and the numerical bvp4c technique is presented. The behavior of local skin friction numbers and couple stress number is tabulated for different parameters, and some figures are plotted to present the different parameters. For uplifting the values of AE for parameter λA, the concentration profile is increased because of the Arrhenius function, and AE increases with the reduction of this function. The increasing values of the parameter of rotation G show the decrement in velocity because of the rotation of the particle of the fluid, so the linear motion decreases. Thermophoresis is responsible for shifting the molecules within the fluid, and due to this, an increment in boundary layer thickness is found, so by a greater value of Nt, the concentration profile decreases and temperature profile goes down.
Heat transport subject to nonlinear thermal radiation has multiple applications in physics, industry, engineering field, and space technology, such as aerodynamic rockets, solar power technology, large open water reservoirs, and gas‐cooled nuclear reactors. This effort studies the magnetohydrodynamic flow of cross fluid, which is a type of non‐Newtonian, along a heated surface. Furthermore, the transportation of heat in the fluid is induced by thermal radiation. Furthermore, the behavior of opposing/assisting flow and impact of nonuniform heat sink/source is scrutinized. The reserved suitable transformations are carried out to shift the ruling equations into nondimensional class. Through reserved transformations, two nonlinear partial differential equations are altered into corresponding nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Then a scheme of integration referred to as Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg is imposed to get a numerical solution of these. The impact of parameters are mentioned concisely on temperature and velocity profiles in the absence and presence of a magnetic parameter. It is proved that the presence of a magnetic field steps up the velocity and temperature as well.
The main aim of the current study is to determine the effects of the temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a non-Newtonian fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet. The viscosity of the fluid depends on stratifications. Moreover, Powell–Eyring fluid is electrically conducted subject to a non-uniform applied magnetic field. Assume a small magnetic reynolds number and boundary layer approximation are applied in the mathematical formulation. Zero nano-particles mass flux condition to the sheet is considered. The governing model is transformed into the system of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) system by using suitable transformations so-called similarity transformation. In order to calculate the solution of the problem, we use the higher order convergence method, so-called shooting method followed by Runge-Kutta Fehlberg (RK45) method. The impacts of different physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed and discussed. The parameters of engineering interest, i.e., skin fraction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are studied numerically as well. We concluded that the velocity profile decreases by increasing the values of S t , H and M. Also, we have analyzed the variation of temperature and concentration profiles for different physical parameters.
