Aligned Magnetic Field and Radiation Effects on Biomagnetic Fluid over an Unsteady Stretching Sheet with Various Slip Conditions

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to analyze the effects of aligned magnetic field and radiation on biomagnetic fluid flow and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching sheet with various slip conditions. The magnetic field is assumed to be sufficiently strong enough to saturate the ferrofluid, and the variation of magnetization is approximated by a linear function of temperature difference. The governing boundary layer equations with boundary conditions are simplified by suitable transformations. Numerical solution is obtained by using the bvp4c function technique in MATLAB software. The numerical results are derived for the velocity, temperature, the skin friction coefficient, and the rate of heat transfer. The evaluated results are compared with analytical study documented in scientific literature. The present investigation illustrates that the fluid velocity is decreased with the increasing values of radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, and ferromagnetic interaction parameter, though is increased as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, permeable parameter and thermal slip parameter are increased. In this investigation, the suction/injection parameter had a good impact on the skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer.
