Heat transfer analysis in hydromagnetic flow of couple stress fluid in presence of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions over a porous oscillatory stretchable sheet
The prime objective of this theoretical study is to investigate the flow, mass, and heat transfer in the time-dependent couple stress fluid over a permeable stretching oscillatory surface. The effect of applied magnetic field is also taken in the momentum equation. In addition, the energy equation is modeled by incorporating thermal radiation and heat generation. Furthermore, the concentration equation is designed in presence of homogenous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. The flow mechanism occurs because of the to and fro motion of the surface about a fixed point. For similar solution of the developed flow problem suitable similarity transformations is adopted. The analytical solution of the obtained flow equations in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs) is attained by utilizing a valuable method called Homotopy analysis method (HAM). An extensive assessment is performed to study the influence of various involved parameters namely the couple stress parameter, the relation of the parameter of the surface oscillatory frequency to its stretched rate constant, the Prandtl number, the strength of heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical reactions parameters, Schmidt number, heat production parameter and magneto-porosity parameter on the flow, concentration and temperature distributions, skin friction coefficient, and rate of heat transfer via tables and graphs and are discussed in detail. It is observed that the amplitude of velocity and skin friction coefficient shows a declining response with varying values of the couple stress parameter and it increases for higher values of the magneto-porous parameter.
Due to the numerous remarkable applications in many manufacturing and engineering processes, a number of engineers and researchers have considered the exploration of boundary layer stretching flows of non-Newtonian fluids with different velocities such as linear, nonlinear, exponential, and oscillatory during the last few decades. The most valuable industrial processes of motion of non-Newtonian liquids are wire drawing, artificial fibers, hot rolling, glass blowing, aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets, paper production, polymer extrusion process, distillation of towers and cooling of electronic chips etc. In all of these processes, the wall stretching velocity and stretching rate have a significant impact on the final product’s superiority. To the best of our information, Crane1 was the first who scrutinized the liquid flow problem over stretchable surface by taking into account linear velocity and find out its solution in exact closed form. Because of such most importance of non-Newtonian fluids in industrial procedures, a number of researchers have expanded the Crane concept for non-Newtonian fluids in various directions over curved and flat stretching surfaces. Rasool et al.2 has investigated magnetohydrodynamic Darcy-Forchhemier nanoliquid flow over nonlinear stretching sheet. Bhatti et al.3 has performed a numerical study to compute the numerical solution of activation energy and gyrotactic microorganism in magnetized nanofluid across a porous plate. Bhatti et al.4 has studied the magnetized flow of hybrid nanofluid across a flat elastic surface in the presence of solar energy. In another research article, Bhatti et al.5 performed a numerical study of hybrid nanofluid flow over a circular stretching surface with non-Darcy medium. On the other hand, in many manufacturing procedures such as metallurgy and textiles, a fascinating situation might arise when the stretching surface moves consistently with periodic velocity in a back and forth direction around its plane. Analysis of heat transfer based on modified Fourier’s law in flow of Maxwell fluid over an oscillatory stretching surface was done by Sami et al.6 In another article, Sami and Shahzad7 has considered the effects of thermophoresis in third grade nanofluid across oscillatory moving surface. Naveed et al.8 has discussed the effects of heat transport phenomena on curvilinear flow of micropolar liquid across an oscillatory curved stretched sheet. Imran et al.9 has investigated the consequences of thermal and mass relaxation parameters on Eyring-Powell fluid past over a curved oscillatory wall.
Couple stress fluid is a supreme significant type of non-Newtonian liquid which was initially presented by Stokes.10 Couple stress theory is simply an extension of conservative viscous notion that supports couple stress and couples in body. Examples of couple stress liquid are colloidal liquids, lubricants, and blood which contain electro-rheological and synthetic properties. Devakar et al.11 has performed an analytical research for motion of couple stress liquid with slip boundary conditions. Ali et al.12 has analyzed the various aspects of heat transport phenomenon on couple stress liquid motion due to the oscillation of oscillatory flat stretching surface in the existence of permeable material. Sami et al.13 has discovered analytical results of the mixed convective flow of couple stress nanoliquid on a stretchable oscillatory surface. Alabdan et al.14 has considered the impacts of variable viscosity for flow of couple stress nanoliquid due to oscillatory stretched sheet.
The inspection of hydromagnetic motion of an electrically conducting liquid with heat production and convective heat transport mechanism has attained a great deal of attention from various investigators, researchers and engineers due to its large number of practical utilizations in many industrial and technological operations likely in the designing purpose of cooling systems, hydromagnetic generators, storage of thermal energy, cooling of underground electric cables, gas turbine, electric motors, solar power technology, pumps, and space vehicle reentry. Sheikh and Abbas15 have considered the impacts of heat production on flow of hydromagnetic fluid across stretchable oscillatory sheet. Some researchers like Sami16 and Imran et al.17 inspected various fluid motion problems across oscillatory stretchable surfaces with heat production. Sami et al.18 has evaluated the effects of magneto-nanoparticles in non-Newtonian liquid motion across convectively oscillating moving surface. Khan et al.19 has calculated numerical simulation of hydromagnetic Power law fluid flow with convective boundary condition. The outcomes of thermal radiation on viscous fluid motion across the convectively heated oscillatory curved stretchable sheet were investigated by Abbas et al.20 Naveed et al.21 has scrutinized the analytical results of Williamson liquid motion across convectively heated curved oscillatory Riga surface.
Many chemically reactive structures such as catalysis, biomedical processes, and combustion comprise both homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. The correlation between such chemical reactions is very complex. Physical examples of such processes in which homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions occur include dispersion and fog deposition, food processing, ceramics manufacturing, polymers and hydrometallurgical processes. Waini et al.22 has investigated hybrid nanofluid flow with homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. Zeb et al.23 has calculated the consequences of homogeneous heterogeneous chemical reactions on flow of non-Newtonian ferrofluid toward a stretching sheet. Effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions on motion of Casson nanoliquid due to curved oscillatory sheet were analyzed by Abbas et al.24 Upreti et al.25 has investigated the homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions effects in sisko nanofluid flow past across convectively heated stretching sheet.
A systematic examination of literature survey reflects that no one has yet studied the flow and transport mechanism (mass and heat transfer) in a couple stress fluid on an oscillatory stretching surface. Therefore, the prime motivation of the present study is to study the flow, heat, and mass transfer analysis in a non-Newtonian couple stress fluid. Furthermore, the impacts of heat generation along with thermal radiation is also considered in energy equation. The consequences of both homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions are also incorporated in the concentration equation. The developed flow equations in the form of nonlinear PDEs are solved analytically by employing an effective technique known as Homotopy analysis method. The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are shown graphically and in tabular form and are discussed in detail.
