Numerical investigation of viscoelastic nanofluid flow with radiation effects

Abstract

In this article, the fully developed steady state flow of an incompressible fluid pertained to as viscoelastic nanofluid model with radiation effects through a penetrable plate is studied. Continuity, momentum and energy equations are elaborated to comprehend the nature of the fluid flow. By using similarity transformations, the solution of arising governing equations is obtained numerically with the assistance of a shooting technique. Furthermore, the consequences of different parameters, that is, Brownian motion parameter, Weissenberg number, thermophoresis parameter, permeability parameter, non-Newtonian parameter and radiation parameter on concentration, velocity and temperature fields, are canvassed with the help of graphs. The effects of Pr and [Formula: see text] on Nusselt number and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on Sherwood number are also discussed with the assistance of graphs and tables for different values of dimensionless parameters.

A Combined Convection Carreau–Yasuda Nanofluid Model over a Convective Heated Surface near a Stagnation Point: A Numerical Study

“…In recent years, technical advances have made improvements in the rheological properties of cooling fluids, and the manufacture of a steady solid-liquid suspension called nanofluid has optimized the thermal performance of industrial instruments and heat exchangers [1]. erefore, several researchers have reported enhancement in heat transfer through nanofluids [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…The stagnation point MHD flow past a shrinking/stretching sheet for casson fluid has been discussed for variable viscosity by Azad Hussain, Sana Afzal, Rizwana Rizwana and M.Y.Malik [6]. The viscoelastic nanofluid under the effect of radiation has been discussed for incompressible fluid by Azad Hussain, Lubna Sarwar and Sohail Nadeem [7]. The heat transfer analysis for three dimensional stagnation point flow over exponentially stretching sheet has been studied by Fiaz Ur Rehman , S. Nadeem , R.U.…”
