Scaling group transformation for MHD boundary-layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical stretching surface in the presence of suction/injection

Nanofluid Flow over a Stretching Surface in Presence of Chemical Reaction and Thermal Radiation: An Application of Lie Group Transformation

“…In the absence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction, the present investigation coincides with that of Kandasamy et al [11]. To check the validity of the present code, the values of −θ ′ (0) have been calculated for N = γ = 0 and for different values of Prandtl numbers P r in Tab.…”

“…1. One may observed from the table that the data produced by the present code and those of Khan and Pop [9] and Kandasamya et al [11] show excellent agreement and, so the use of the present numerical code for current model is justified. It is noteworthy that the thermophoretic effect exerts a strong influence on the heat transfer; reducing it by almost 12% as thermophoresis parameter changes from 0.0 to 0.5.…”

“…The boundary layer flow of a nanofluid caused by a stretching surface has drawn the attention of many researchers [8][9][10]. Kandasamya et al [11] investigated MHD boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a stretching surface using scaling group transformation. Recently, Hamad and Ferdows [12] obtained the similarity solution of stagnation-point flow towards a heated porous stretching sheet saturated with a nanofluid.…”

Heat and mass transfer on MHD nanofluid flow past a vertical porous plate in a rotating system

“…Recently, the effect of chemical reaction with heat radiation in presence of nanofluid over a porous vertical stretching surface is investigated by Rosmila Abdul- Kahar et al (2011) and it is observed that the thermophoresis particle deposition and Brownian diffusion motion have substantial effects on the flow field. Kandasamy et al (2011) have analyzed the impact of thermophoresis particle deposition and Brownian diffusion motion on nanofluid in the presence of magnetic field and it is predicted that the magnetic strength plays a significant role on the nanoparticles in the presence of base fluid. Recently, many researchers Venkateswarlu Satya Narayana (2015); Satya Narayana and Harish Babu (2016); Macha Madhu and Naikoti Kishan (2015); Gireesha et al (2016) have studied the flow and heat transfer characteristic of Newtonian/non-Newtonian nanofluids over varies geometries.…”

MHD Mixed Convective Heat and Mass Transfer through a Stratified Nanofluid Flow Over a Thermal Radiative Stretching Cylinder

“…A variety of nuclear reactor designs featured by enhanced safety and improved economics are being proposed by the nuclear power industry around the world to more realistically solve the future energy supply shortfall. In order to secure safety and economics, nanofluid coolants exhibiting improve thermal performance are being considered as a new key technology [3].…”
