Chemical Reaction and Radiation Effects on Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow over a Stretching Sheet with Non-Uniform Thickness and Heat Source

Abstract

The principle priority of this study is to inspect the performance of two dimensional chemically reacting non-Newtonian fluid bearing Soret, Dufour, thermal radiation, heat source and slip effects. The flow is prompted by a slendering surface with variable thickness. Casson and Williamson fluid models are incorporated in this discussion. Governing equations are evolved and converted into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. We adopted homotopy analysis method (HAM) to pick up the solutions. The graphical and tabular results for velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction factor, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are secured for both Casson and Williamson fluids. The correspondence between the acquired and previous results reveals that they are in good correlation. It is found that there is a significant increase in the thermal boundary layer thickness when the strength of the Dufour number is increased.

Influence of viscous dissipation and double stratification on MHD Oldroyd-B fluid over a stretching sheet with uniform heat source

“…The highly coupled nonlinear differential Eqs. 14- (17) that are in subject to the corresponding boundary conditions (18)- (19) are worked out by employing bvp4c and obtained numerical values. The ability of numerical method is approved by examining the results, that is f �� (0) of the present analysis with those calculated by Ibrahim et al [31], Hayat et al [32] in the limiting case for a Newtonian fluid when Pr = Nr = Ec x = Ec y = Q = Sc = = 1 = 2 = 1 = 2 = 0 .…”

“…Raju et al [7] analyzed the impacts of non-Newtonian fluid over homogeneous/ heterogeneous reactions, exhibiting graphical representations for both stretching and shrinking surfaces. Consequently, many researchers were involved in examining the different physical conditions of Oldroyd-B fluid in various regions (see [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]).…”

A Study of Thermally Radiant Williamson Nanofluid Over an Exponentially Elongating Sheet with Chemical Reaction Via Homotopy Analysis Method

“…Impact of pressure dependent viscosity on Williamson fluid flow has been explored by Zehra et al, [19]. Much insight on this theme can be found in Bakar and Soid [20], Mabood et al, [21], Ibrahim et al, [22], Thirupathi et al, [23], Rosaidi et al, [24], Osman et al, [25], and Japili et al, [26].…”

Impact of dissipative heat and radiative heat on MHD viscous flow through a slandering stretching sheet with temperature‐dependent variable viscosity

“…Since then, HAM has attracted the attention of a number of researchers in science, finance, and engineering and it has been successfully applied to solve numerous nonlinear problems 25,26 . Ibrahim et al 27 used the HAM to examine the radiation effects on two‐dimensional (2D) non‐Newtonian fluids that chemically react with the heat source on a stretching sheet using different thicknesses of surface and a noteworthy increase in the thickness of the thermal boundary layer is noticed when the Dufour number is increased. Kumar et al 28 used the method of homotopy analysis to examine the influence of thermal radiation of MHD mixed convection motion over a stretching sheet using Jeffrey fluid.…”
