Insights of Heat and Mass Transfer in Magneto-Mixed Convective Sisko Nanofluid over a Wedge with Viscous Dissipation

Abstract

The current analysis provides the important insights of Sisko nanofluid flow over a wedge with thermal radiation and viscous dissipation effects. The Buongiorno nanofluid model, which includes Brownian movement and thermophoresis, is taken into consideration. Momentum, temperature, and nanoparticle concentration equations are used to simulate the current problem. The suitable similarity variables are applied to the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) which yield the dimensionless ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The MATLAB function bvp4c has been used to resolve the resulting ODEs. The attributes of various flow parameters on the transfer rate of mass, heat, temperature, velocity, and nanoparticle concentration have been explored. The pressure gradient parameter boosts the mass transfer and velocity. Moreover, mixed convection leads to the decrement in thermal and nanoparticle concentration boundary layer. The obtained numerical findings are compared to published results in the literature by considering the particular cases to validate the current study and are seen to be in perfect accord.
