Non-Newtonian Slippery Nanofluid Flow Due to a Stretching Sheet Through a Porous Medium with Heat Generation and Thermal Slip

Abstract

AbstractThe domains of engineering, electrical, and medicine all have a significant demand for nanofluids. Applications for nanofluid flow include electronic device storage, industrial cooling and heating frameworks, and associated medicinal management information systems. Nanofluids are utilized generally as coolants in heat exchangers such as thermostats, electronic cooling systems, and radiators due to their enhanced thermal characteristics. This study aims to explain the mixed convection phenomenon’s applications on the thermal impact of Maxwell nanofluid. The mass diffusivity is supposed to be a function of concentration, whereas the thermal conductivity and viscosity of Maxwell nanofluid are assumed to be functions of temperature. It is recommended to consider the additional thermal effects of thermal slip, magnetic fields, and heat generation phenomena. The fluid flow motion was caused by the vertically stretched sheet. The dimensionless formulation of the suggested physical model is shown by the suitable variables interacting. The shooting approach is used in the numerical simulations, and it is based on lowering higher-order nonlinear differential equations to first-order. The slip velocity and the magnetic parameters have a direct impact on the local skin friction coefficient and velocity, as indicated by the research findings. Also, the increase in values of the Maxwell parameter, porous parameter, and viscosity parameter leads to the enhancement of temperature distribution, while the decline in velocity distribution can be attributed to the same factors. A comparison is also made with the results described in the literature that is currently available, and a superb agreement is discovered.
