Analysis of nonlinear stratified convective flow of Powell-Eyring fluid: Application of modern diffusion

Abstract

The stratification phenomena have great importance in fishery management, insufficiency of dissolved oxygen in the lower parts of lakes, rivers and ponds, and phytoplankton populations. Thus the present article examines vital role of stratification phenomena in Powell-Eyring fluid flow due to inclined sheet which is stretched in a linear way. Collaboration of Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux model instead of Fourier Law of heat conduction is also accounted. Interpretation of heat transport is carried out with heat generation/absorption. Thermal stratification supports heat transport. Chemical reaction and solutal stratification also helped out mass transport. Non-linear governing equations with partial derivatives are converted into ordinary differential equation with the help of similarity transformations. Homotopic method is applied to solve arising dimensionless governing equations. Pertinent parameters and their physical behavior are displayed graphically. Drag force coefficient is also examined graphically. In culmination, substantial parameters of radiation and heat generation/absorption raised the temperature field while thermal relaxation time and solutal relaxation time parameters lower the temperature and concentration fields, respectively.

Thermally stratified flow of hybrid nanofluids with radiative heat transport and slip mechanism: multiple solutions

“…Mishra et al [28] conducted a numerical study to probe a steady flow due to a vertical surface subject to double stratified micropolar fluid. An identical study of nanofluid flow and heat transport with thermal stratification has been presented by Abbasi et al [29], Hayat et al [30], Eswaramoorthi et al [31], Jabeen et al [32].…”

Flow Dynamics of Eyring–Powell Nanofluid on Porous Stretching Cylinder under Magnetic Field and Viscous Dissipation Effects

“…According to their results, the fluid velocity is high for the Eyring-Powell fluid but Prandtl number and thermal radiation lessen the fluid temperature. Moreover, analysis of nonlinear stratified convection of Eyring-Powell fluid past a sheet, which is inclined and stretching with Cattaneo-Christov heat-mass flux model is presented by Jabeen et al [7]. Their analysis revealed that the thermal stratification parameter and Cattaneo-Chiristov time relaxation dampen the distribution of fluid temperature.…”

Analysis of variable mass diffusivity in Maxwell's fluid with Cattaneo-Christov and nonlinear stratification

“…Ali et al [30] depicted phenomenon of dual stratification in Maxwell's nanoliquid flow deformed by stretchable inclined surface considering heat source/sink. Jabeen et al [31] discussed the nonlinear dual stratification analysis in Eyring-Powell material flow under modern diffsion and mixed convection. Malik et al [32] described the Falkner-Skan type movement of nonlinear stratified Jeffrey liquid under the impact of point of stagnation and mixed convection.…”
