Abstract Present work aims to investigate the blood stream in a permeable vessel in the presence of an external magnetic field with heat and mass transfer. The instability in the coupled flow and temperature fields is considered to be produced due to the time-dependent extending velocity and the surface temperature of the vessel. The non-uniform heat source/sink effects on a chemically responded blood stream and heat viscous. This study is of potential value in the clinical healing of cardiovascular disorders accompanied by accelerated circulation. The problem is treated mathematically by reducing it to a system of… More >

Abstract Nowadays external magnetic fields are capable of setting the thermal and physical properties of magnetic-nanofluids and regulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics. The strength of the applied magnetic field affects the thermal conductivity of magnetic nanofluids and makes it aeolotropic. With this incentive, we investigate the flow and heat transfer of electrically conducting liquid film flow of Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet by considering the aligned magnetic field in the presence of space and temperature dependent heat source/sink and viscous dissipation. For this study, we considered kerosene as the base fluid embedded with More >

Abstract This article presents the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Carreau fluid model over a nonlinear stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and viscous dissipation with convective boundary condition. The governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation, which is then solved numerically by the fourth-fifth order Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme featuring a shooting technique. The influence of significant parameters such as power law index parameter, Stretching parameter, More >

Abstract The Numerical analysis of magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow and heat transfer of incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid is presented. The flow is due to continuously stretching permeable surface embedded in non-Darcian porous medium in the presence of transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink. The flow equations in the porous medium are governed by ForchheimerBrinkman extended Darcy model. A similarity transformation is used to transform partial differential equations into a coupled higher order non-linear ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved numerically using implicit finite difference scheme called Keller-Box method. The… More >
