Time-dependent stagnation point flow of nano Casson fluid with Joule heating over an elongated surface subjected to viscous heating and exponential space-based heat source/sink: Boungiorno model
The unsteady two-directional flow of a non-Newtonian magneto-Casson nanoliquid flow over an elongated flat surface with the porous matrix is investigated. The flow is subjected to space-based exponential heat generation/absorption (ESHS), thermophoresis, Brownian motion of nanoparticles, and transverse magnetic field. Within the base fluid, the diffusion of chemically reactive nanoparticles is assumed to be highly significant; hence considered. The governing equations of the flow model admit self-similar equations and are numerically solved by employing the Runge-Kutta-based shooting technique (RKSM). The significance of key parameters on the temperature, velocity, friction factor at the surface, heat transfer rate, and mass transfer rate distributions is analyzed. The use of high-Prandtl number base fluid and nanoparticles of high thermal conductivity could be of practical use to increase the heat transfer rate and avoid nanoparticle accumulation. The occurrence of nanoparticles in the operating liquids reduces the shearing stress at the plate surface to avoid backflow.
