Heat and mass transfer of magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow over a wedge with thermal radiation and chemical reaction

A numerical computation to analyze the heat and mass transfer mechanism of a magnetohydrodynamic radiative Casson fluid flow over a wedge in the presence of Joule heating, viscous dissipation, and chemical reaction is carried out in this study. The flow-governing partial differential equations are transformed as ordinary differential equations by relevant similarity transformations and subsequently resolved by Runge–Kutta numerical approach with a shooting technique. The characteristics of momentum, thermal, and concentration border layers due to various influencing parameters are graphically outlined and numerically computed by MATLAB software. We present comparative solutions to construe the relative outcomes of Casson fluid versus Newtonian fluid. Computational outcomes of friction factor and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are tabulated with suitable interpretations. An increase in skin friction values is noted due to an increment in the thermal Grashof number, whereas a decrease is observed due to the chemical reaction parameter. The Casson fluid displays a superior heat transfer mechanism than the Newtonian fluid. Obtained outcomes are in good agreement with the prevailing literature in the limiting case.     

Newtonian heating effect on laminar flow of Casson fluids: Thermal analysis

In the present study, free convective, laminar flow of Casson fluid is investigated numerically over a nonlinear stretched sheet to observe the characteristics of heat transfer in the presence of Newtonian heating. Nonlinear differential equations are derived from the present flow by utilizing the appropriate transformations. Thereafter, for the linear stretching case, an exact solution is applied for the momentum equation, and for the nonlinear stretching case, a convergent numerical technique, SRM, is applied. Computations of SRM and exact solutions are displayed through graphs. For various physical parameters, variation in velocity profile is observed by means of numerical computations and presented graphically. For checking the accuracy and convergence of the proposed method, outcomes are validated with the available outcomes in the literature and compared. The outcomes demonstrate that the velocity profile is reduced for the nonlinear stretching parameter effect, and, with increasing $\mathit{Pr}$, the temperature is decreased and there is a reduction in the thickness of the thermal boundary layer.     

Hydromagnetic mixed convection unsteady radiative Casson fluid flow towards a stagnation-point with chemical reaction,induced magnetic field,Soret effect,and convective boundary conditions

This article presents the two-dimensional mixed convective MHD unsteady stagnation-point flow with heat and mass transfer on chemically reactive Casson fluid towards a vertical stretching surface. This fluid flow model is influenced by the induced magnetic field, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, heat absorption, and Soret effect with convective boundary conditions and solved numerically by shooting technique. The calculations are accomplished by MATLAB bvp4c. The velocity, induced magnetic field, temperature, and concentration distributions are displayed by graphs for pertinent influential parameters. The numerical results for skin friction coefficient, rate of heat, and mass transfer are analyzed via tables for different influential parameters for both assisting and opposing flows. The results reveal that the enhancement of the unsteadiness parameter diminishes velocity and induced magnetic field but it rises temperature and concentration distributions. Moreover, higher values of magnetic Prandtl number enhance Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient, but it has the opposite impact on Sherwood number. We observe that the amplitude is higher in assisting flow compared to opposing flow for skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number whereas opposite trends are noticed for Sherwood number. Our model will be applicable to various magnetohydrodynamic devices and medical sciences.     

Effects of chemical reaction,Soret and Lorentz force on Casson fluid flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate: A comprehensive analysis

The aim of the current study is to explore the effects of heat and mass transfer on unsteady chemically reacted Casson liquid flow over an exponentially accelerated vertical plate in a porous medium. It is assumed that the bounding plate has varying temperatures as well as concentrations in a porous medium under a uniform magnetic field. This phenomenon is modeled in the form of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) with boundary conditions. The governing dimensionless PDEs are solved using Laplace transform method for velocity, temperature, and concentration. The impact of nondimensional parameters, which are controlling the flow like Casson parameter, Soret number, magnetic parameter, heat generation parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, and Schmidt number is analyzed through graphs. The incremental values of the Casson fluid parameter lead to a reduction in velocity and discovered that for large values of the Casson parameter, the fluid is near to the Newtonian fluid. Also, the Sherwood number increases with enhancing dissimilar estimators of the Schmidt and Soret numbers. A comparison has been made with the published work (Kataria et al.) for a particular case, which was in good agreement.

Stability analysis on dual solutions of MHD Casson fluid flow with thermal and chemical reaction over a permeable elongating sheet

The endeavor of this study is to explore the nature of dual solutions (steady and unsteady) for the Casson fluid flow with the simultaneous consequences of both thermal and mass transmissions. The flow passes above an absorbent elongating sheet in the existence of a constant magnetic field. The supported leading equations are remodeled into a set of solvable forms with the assist of suitable similarity variables and hence deciphered utilizing the “MATLAB routine bvp4c scheme.” Due to the sudden changes in the surface with time, the temperature and flow behavior over the sheet also change, and hence dual-type flow solutions exist. Stability scrutiny is implemented to examine the less (more) stable and visually achievable solutions. From this study, we have achieved many interesting facts, among them, we can use magnetic and Casson fluid parameters to control the motion of the fluid and to enlarge of thermal transmission of the fluid. This flow model has many important applications in different physical fields, such as engineering sciences, medical sciences, and different industrial processes. One of the most important results, which has been achieved from this investigation, is that the Prandtl number enriches the heat transfer rate of the fluid at the surface during the time-independent case under the suction environment. Also, the chemical reaction parameter helps to enhance the mass accumulation rate of the fluid in both cases.

A steady two‐dimensional Casson nanofluid flow over the permeable stretching/shrinking sheet along the viscous dissipation and the chemical reaction is studied in this article. The convective boundary condition is incorporated in energy equation. Similarity variables are applied to convert the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The numerical solutions of the equations are obtained by using the shooting method with Maple implementation. The numerical findings indicate occurrence of the dual solutions for a certain range of stretching/shrinking and suction parameters. Therefore, a stability analysis is done to find the solution that is stable and physically realizable. The effects of the pertinent physical parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are investigated graphically. Numerical results of various parameters involved for skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt as well as Sherwood numbers are determined and also discussed in detail. The Casson and suction parameters decrease the velocity in the first solution, whereas they increase it in the second solution. The rate of heat transfer increases in both solutions with an increment in Eckert number, Biot number, thermophoresis, and Brownian motion parameters. Thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters show opposite behavior in the nanoparticle's concentration. The nanoparticle concentration decreases in both solutions with increment in Schmidt number, Brownian motion, and chemical reaction parameters.

The Marangoni flow is involved with microgravity and earth gravity, which causes undesirable effects in crystal growth experiments. Crystal growth experiments were designed in such a manner so as to appraise MIR (space station), which is one of the best platforms for protein crystallization and radiation experiments. In this article, a model is proposed with a stagnation point and a Casson fluid flow at the interface of the plate in the presence of Marangoni convection influenced by a magnetic field and chemical reaction. Furthermore, it is considered that both temperature and concentration surface tension vary linearly with the interface.

Present research article investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic Casson nanofluid flow between two parallel plates under the influence of viscous dissipation and first order homogeneous chemical reaction effects. The impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are accounted in the nanofluid model to disclose the salient features of heat and mass transport phenomena. The present physical problem is examined under the presence of Lorentz forces to investigate the effects of magnetic field. Further, the viscous and Joule dissipation effects are considered to describe the heat transfer process. The non‐Newtonian behaviour of Casson nanofluid is distinguished from those of Newtonian fluids by considering the well‐established rheological Casson fluid model. The two‐dimensional partial differential equations governing the unsteady squeezing flow of Casson nanofluid are coupled and highly nonlinear in nature. Thus, similarity transformations are imposed on the conservation laws to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Runge‐Kutta fourth order integration scheme with shooting method and bvp4c techniques have been used to solve the resulting nonlinear flow equations. Numerical results have been obtained and presented in the form of graphs and tables for various values of physical parameters. It is noticed from present investigation that, the concentration field is a decreasing function of thermophoresis parameter. Also, concentration profile enhances with raising Brownian motion parameter. Further, the present numerical results are compared with the analytical and semianalytical results and found to be in good agreement.

The current study deals with the effects of Newtonian cooling, magnetic field, and nonlinear radiation on the flow of a Jeffrey fluid along with thermal dispersion and homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction towards a stagnation point. The developed governing equations are transformed into nondimensional equations employing suitable similarity transformations along with their related boundary conditions. To solve and analyze these equations, the BVP4C solver of MATLAB has been used. The various properties of the fluid flow such as velocity, temperature, and concentration are represented in their respective graphs. The values obtained for skin friction and Nusselt number are expressed in the form of a table. The important outcomes of the present study are that the velocity declines as we increase the melting parameter, magnetic parameter, and Prandtl number. The temperature profile increases with radiation parameter, heat source, and magnetic number. An inclination is seen in the concentration of the fluid with a rise in Schmidt number whereas declination is seen with a rise in the homogeneous reaction parameter. Also, a comparison Table 1 has been made with the previous work under limited conditions. The table shows that the current work justifies the previous work system under those conditions. The present model can be utilized for many industrial purposes. Large-scale industries like plastic and food processing industries can utilize these results to enhance their productivity.

The present article describes the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a moving Jeffrey fluid along a convectively heated porous stretching surface with second-order velocity slip and radiation absorption effects. Furthermore, chemical reactions and viscous dissipation impacts are also taken into account. The governing equations are converted into dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformations.

The numerical values of the local skin friction, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are explained and shown in tables. The analysis reveals that the velocity profile is enhanced for amplifying values of velocity ratio parameter and first-order velocity slip parameter. However, the temperature profile of Jeffrey nanofluid is highlighted w.r.t. Eckert number and radiation absorption parameter. This study may find significant applications in polymer production, food processing, instrumentation, combustion modeling, catalytic chemical reactors, and so on.     

Heat transfer characteristics in non-Newtonian fluid flow due to a naturally permeable curved surface and chemical reaction

In this research endeavor, Casson fluid flow and melting heat transfer due to a curved nonlinearly stretching sheet are investigated. The sheet is naturally permeable and the flow is considered in a porous medium. For flow in a porous medium, a modified Darcy's resistance term for Casson fluid is considered in the momentum equation. In the energy equation, heat transport characteristics, including viscous dissipation, are taken into account. Mass transport is also studied together with the impact of chemical reaction of higher order. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations of flow, heat, and mass transport are reduced to nondimensional ordinary differential equations using adequate similarity transformations and then solved numerically employing the bvp4c technique and Runge–Kutta fourth-order method on MATLAB. The impacts of numerous occurring parameters on relevant fields (velocity field, temperature field, and concentration field) are depicted and discussed by plotting graphs. We concluded the curvature parameter, $K$ reduces the pace of the flow. The impacts of the stretching index, $m$ and melting parameter, $Me$ are also found to reduce flow and temperature field. Furthermore, we noted that the reaction parameter, $K_n$ and its order, $n$ exhibit opposite impacts on the concentration field. Moreover, the numerical values of skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number calculated employing bvp4c and Runge–Kutta fourth-order technique are expressed in tabular mode, and these are found in an excellent match. For validation of the results, skin-friction coefficient values were computed using the Runge–Kutta fourth-order technique and bvp4c solver, compared with the existing results, and a good agreement was found.     

Slip Flow of Casson Rheological Fluid Under Variable Thermal Conductivity with Radiation Effects

This paper investigates the radiation and chemical reaction effects on Casson non‐Newtonian fluid towards a porous stretching surface in the presence of thermal and hydrodynamic slip conditions. The governing boundary layer conservation equations are normalized into nonsimilar form using similarity transformations. A numerical approach is applied to the resultant equations. The behavior of the velocity, temperature, concentration, as well as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number for various governing physical are discussed. Increasing the radiation parameter decreases the temperature. An increase in the rheological parameter (Casson parameter) induces an elevation in the skin friction coefficient, the heat and mass transfer rates. The larger the β values the closer the fluid is in behavior to a Newtonian fluid and further departs from plastic flow. Temperature of the fluid was found to decrease with increasing values of the Casson rheological parameter. The most important non‐Newtonian fluid possessing a yield value is the rheological Casson fluid, which finds significant applications in polymer processing industries, biomechanics, and chocolate food processing.     

MHD radiative Casson—Nanofluid stream above a nonlinear extending surface including chemical reaction through Darcy-Forchiemer medium

The current study aims to study the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Casson kind nanofluid stream through a permeable medium above a nonlinear extending surface considered along with Darcy-Forchimer relation and chemical reaction. Thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion effects are considered. The MHD effect is used to highlight the physical and thermal properties of the nanofluid. The Keller Box scheme is used to solve the guiding equations numerically. Graphs are plotted for various nondimensional parameters. To justify the method, the used local parameters are calculated and compared with the existing literature. The results specify that a decreasing tendency is observed in the velocity profile for Forchiemer, magnetic, and stretching rate parameters, whereas the opposite tendency is noted for the Casson parameter. On observing temperature profiles, declination is noticed for Casson, thermal slip parameters and raising nature is detected for increasing values of Brownian diffusion, and thermophoresis, radiation parameters. From the results, it is observed that the momentum boundary layer diminishes for a higher inertial influence and the opposing force offered by the porous media to the fluid flow.     

Chemically reacting mixed convective Casson fluid flow in the presence of MHD and porous medium through group theoretical analysis

This paper explores the consequences of chemically reacting magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective fluid substances driven by the porous medium, slippery, incompressible, and laminar vertical channel flow. Casson fluid model in a vertical channel is strengthened with mixed convection flow. The effects of the heat source-sink parameter, the suction-injection parameter, slips on the slide wall, and thermal radiation are also considered. A Lie group method is taken into consideration and nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The NDSolve command solves these ODEs and shows the action of the related parameters in the velocity, temperature, and concentration figures. The Casson fluid parameter increases the velocity profile but reduces the concentration profile. The parameter of suction-injection enhances the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The variations in skin-friction coefficient in the heat and mass transfer rate are addressed in the diagrams. Moreover, streamlines are plotted for suction-injection parameter.
