In the current article, induced magnetic field applied on second-grade fluid flow under variable thermal conductivity by an exponentially stretching sheet is taken into account for current analysis. The chemical reaction and viscous dissipation effects under the influence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are considered on an exponentially stretching sheet. With the above assumptions, a mathematical model was developed in terms of partial differential equations by using the boundary-layer approximations. Similarity transformations in terms of ordinary differential equations considerably simplified this system. The dimensionless system was solved by a numerical procedure, the bvp4c method. The effects of involving physical parameters are presented through graphs and tables. The obtained numerical outcomes of the skin friction coefficient, the Sherwood number, and the Nusselt number are also highlighted in the tabulated form. It is concluded that the velocity and concentration profiles increased due to higher values of material parameter.
The MHD fluid flow has many application namely: petroleum, warming system, electrostatic mechanism, power generation, modern metallurgy, pumping having the essential role in usual life. Damesh1 discussed the thermal boundary layer in the existence of a magnetic field’s impact by virtue of an exponentially stretching surface. Ishak2 considered the MHD flow of a fluid having a linear radiative effect on an exponentially stretching surface. The unsteady two-dimensional boundary-layer flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid under the thermal reaction, magnetic field, and absorption/heat generation impacts by virtue of an exponentially stretched surface was discussed by Elbashebeshy et al.3 Nadeem et al.4 discussed the MHD flow of a Casson fluid by an exponentially shrinked surface. Ferdows et al.5 presented the numerical solutions for the flow of fluid having nanoparticles due to the effect of MHD across a porous medium by virtue of a vertical exponentially stretching sheet. Impacts of chemical reaction for MHD flow of third-grade liquid by an exponentially stretching surface are discussed by Hayat et al.6 In the recent period, a few investigators worked on the MHD flow concept under various assumptions (see Refs. 7-10).
Initially, the idea of the flow of fluid by an exponentially stretched sheet was given by Magyari and Keller.11 They discussed the numerical solutions for the fluid flow toward an exponentially stretched surface, and distributed the fact of mass and heat transfer properties. The idea of the fluid flowing toward an exponentially stretched sheet plays a vital factor in industries and engineering fields such as glass fiber, drilling of sheets and plastic films, paper production, annealing and thinning of the copper wire, etc. It is worth mentioning that the stretched velocity is not linear in all the conditions, so the stretched velocity of the fluid may be nonlinear or exponentially stretching. The flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid by virtue of an exponentially stretched surface has been discussed by scientists in the recent past. Partha et al.12 considered an exponentially vertical surface to study the heat transportation with thermal mixed convection flow under the significance of viscous dissipation. Pal13 provided numerical solutions, and analysis follows to narrate the mixed convection flow by considering a vertical exponential surface with an exponentially dependent stretching velocity. The MHD, velocity, and the thermal slip effects were used by Mukhopadhyay,14 who analyzed the heat and mass transportation by a porous exponentially stretched surface with suction or blowing. Also, Mukhopadhyay15 utilized a thermally stratified medium and made numerical solutions for the magnetohydrodynamic flow by virtue of an exponentially stretched surface. Hussain et al.16 deliberated the two-dimensional MHD flow of second-grade liquid with nanoparticles by virtue of the exponentially stretched surface. Beg et al.17 discussed the effects of unsteady MHD nanofluid flow over a vertical exponentially stretching sheet. Veeresha et al.18 surveyed the heat and mass transportation impact in a boundary-layer MHD flow of viscous fluid into a permeable medium by virtue of an exponentially stretched surface. Several authors discuss the different problems of the boundary-layer flow using different models to analyze the behavior of heat transfer and its effects (see Refs. 19-21).
A fluid in which nanoparticles are submerged is called nanofluid. The size of nanoparticles is from 1 nm to 100 nm. The thermal conductivity of the nanofluids as compared to the base fluid is higher. Hence, nanofluids are the best source to raise the thermal conductivity to the base fluid. By virtue of such important features, the nanofluids are used in many fields of life such as heat exchanger vehicle cooling, nuclear reactors, biomedicine transfer cooling, electronic devices, etc. The magnetic nanofluids are used in MHD power generators, hyperthermia, removal of blockage in the arteries, in cancer therapy, treatment of cancer tumors, etc. Choi22 was the first scientist who used the term nanofluid. Pop and Khan23 numerically discussed the flow of the fluid with nanoparticles under the impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motion over a stretching surface. Makinde and Aziz24 analyzed the nanofluid behavior of the laminar boundary-layer flow with the impact of convective boundary condition on a stretched sheet. Rana and Bhargava25 numerically performed and discussed the laminar boundary fluid flow under the effect of nanoparticles through a nonlinear stretching sheet. Hady et al.26 considered a viscous nanofluid flow and numerically examined the heat transportation with the significance of nonlinear thermal radiation and variable wall temperature toward a nonlinear stretched sheet. Rashdi et al.27 used nanofluid with the thermal and buoyancy radiation’s influence on the magnetohydrodynamic flow toward a stretched surface. Greesha et al.28 characterized the inspiration of heat absorption or generation and nonlinear thermal radiation with a porous medium for the three-dimensional flow of Jeffery nanofluid by a nonlinear porous stretching sheet. Several authors investigated the effects of flow behavior with diffusion with COVID-19 (see Refs. 29-33).
In the recent work, we examined the MHD flow of second-grade nanofluid with the existence of induced magnetic field, thermophoretic effect, variable chemical reaction, and variable thermal conductivity. By employing the similarity transformation, the governing boundary-layer PDEs changed into the nonlinear ODEs, and they were numerically solved by the built-in bvp4c technique. The effect of different dimensionless parameters on the induced magnetic field profile, temperature profile, velocity profile, and concentration profile are debated graphically. Further, the skin friction, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are calculated and discussed. These results are more advanced and may be useful in industrial and engineering problems.
