Nonlinear Radiative Heat Transfer of Magnetite(Fe3O4)-Water Nanofluid over Unsteady Stretching Surface with Fluid Particle Suspension

Abstract

Abstract The exploration of the magneto hydrodynamics(MHD) flow and nonlinear radiative heat transfer of magnetite Fe3O4 - H2O nanoparticle with fluid particle suspension over an unsteady stretching sheet is the central theme of the present work. The similarity transformations were employed to transfer the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones prior to solve numerically using Runge - Kutta - Fehlberg-fourth and fifth order method with shooting technique. The variations of the temperature and velocity distribution and coefficients of heat transfer for magnetic parameter, temperature ratio parameter nanoparticle volume fraction, and thermal radiation parameter are discussed graphically. Comparative analysis of reported ones and present work results was presented and found to be in good agreement.
