Exploration of radiative heat on the Jeffery fluid flow in a microchannel for the impact of suction/injection

Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the flow and heat transfer of thermal radiation on the Jeffery fluid flow within a microchannel for the effects of the superhydrophobic surface (SHS) within suction/injection. The governing differential equations of motion and heat transfer are transformed into nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformations. The ODEs are solved along with boundary conditions by adopting Runge–Kutta with shooting technique. Symbolic computational software such as MATLAB, the solver bvp4c syntax examines the behavior of the relevant physical parameters. However, some effective emerging parameters on the flow problem reveal that the microchannel walls within the suction/injection parameter increase the temperature, and the SHS is heated. In contrast, without slip, the opposite behavior is rendered. It is clearly shown that the velocity profile diminishes with increasing the Prandtl number. Furthermore, it is noticed that velocity decreases for increasing values of Hartmann number. Comparison with available results for particular cases is an excellent agreement.
