Influence of nonlinear radiation on MHD nanofluid flow over a cone with second‐order velocity and thermal slips: A numerical study

Abstract

This computational study discovered the influence of magnetohydrodynamics nanofluid flow over a vertical cone. The nonlinear form of thermal radiation and irregular heat generation/sink takes an active part in this study. The influences of chemical reactions and second‐order slip parameters (velocity and temperature) are taken into account. Copper nanoparticles were mixed with water as base fluid in the present investigation. The leading partial differential equations which model the flow are altered as a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of self‐similarity alterations and then a numerical solution is cultivated with the support of fourth order Runge–Kutta Fehlberg method with the shooting method. The influence of appropriate parameters such as nonlinear radiation, chemical reaction, and slip parameters (velocity and temperature) on common fields (concentration, temperature, and velocity) are visualized through graphs. Also, we have analyzed the effects of identical parameters on the coefficient of skin friction and rate of transfer (mass and heat) by means of tables. The skin friction coefficient is boosted when the magnetic parameter is incremented. For larger values of nonlinear radiation parameter R d ${R}_{d}$, the rate of heat transfer was reduced.
