A microstructural slip analysis of radiative thermophoretic flow of ternary nanofluid flowing through porous medium

Abstract

Abstract Slip flows play a vital role in the microsystems, such as micro-valves, micro-pumps, hard disc drives, and nozzles. As a result, this study aims to examine the micro-structural slip behavior of ternary nanoliquid flow past a stretchable surface. Linear radiation is included in the law of energy, whereas the law of mass treats thermophoretic particle decomposition. The nonlinear partial differential system is reduced to an ordinary differential system by executing the appropriate transformations. Using a shooting approach with the help of Maple software, the flow, heat mass transportation, and micro-rotation profiles are estimated numerically. The effect of varying parameters on the physical quantities distributions is discussed via graphical demonstrations. The presence of microstructural slip reduces the velocity and micro-rotation profiles, whereas the nanoparticle concentration and temperature increase. The incrementing thermal radiation values augmented the temperature distribution. The concentration field narrows due to thermophoretic constraints.
