Numerical simulation for the steady nanofluid boundary layer flow over a moving plate with suction and heat generation

Abstract

In the study, the steady, laminar, incompressible, convective flow of a viscous fluid over a moving plate is investigated theoretically by adopting different types of nanoparticles. Radiation, internal heat generation and viscous dissipation effects are considered in the energy modeled equation. The governing flow equations for the momentum and temperature are reduced to dimensionless form via similarity transformations. The solutions to the resultant equations alongside with the transformed boundary conditions are numerically obtained using MATLAB package bvp4c. Validation with earlier studies are done for the non-internal heat generation case for two distinct nanoparticles of type Cu-water and Al-water. Extensive visualization of flow rate and heat distributions for various emerging parameters are examined. Temperature is consistently enhanced with a rising Eckert number of both types of nanofluids, whereas it is strongly reduced with rising values of radiation term. Heat transfer coefficient is consistently increased with a nanoparticle volume fraction of high convective heat in the medium.

Theoretical study of non-Newtonian micropolar nanofluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface with free stream velocity

“…The recent developments in this regard can be assess in References. [13][14][15] The fluid with nanosized particles is termed as nanofluid. Owning to importance of nanofluids various authors reported their finds like Rahman et al 16 discussed the suspended nanoparticles in the fluid flow past a porous exponentially stretching/shrinking by using the Buongiorno's model.…”

A New Heat Dissipation Model and Convective Two-Phase Nanofluid in Brittle Medium Flow over a Cone

“…A wide-range of possible applications has been initiated for the use of nanofluids. Choi remained the first to research updraft conductivity development in nanofluids [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Nanofluids, bio and pharmacological nanofluids, remedial nanofluids, environmental nanofluids, and other heat transfer fluids are categorized according to their applications.…”

Group theoretical analysis for unsteady magnetohydrodynamics flow and radiative heat transfer of power-law nanofluid subject to Navier’s slip conditions

“…A wide range of applications of nanofluids in thermal systems led researchers to study nanofluid flow and heat transfer processes under different thermophysical conditions and geometries. Ferdows et al [10] studied the behaviour of viscous nanofluid in the presence of internal heat generation and suction by considering copper and aluminium nanoparticles. The governing equations are solved numerically after utilizing the similarity transformations to see the behaviour of key parameters of flow and heat transfer.…”
