Abstract

This paper presents the comparative analysis of MHD boundary layer fluid flow around a linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiative heat flux, heat generation/absorption, thermophoresis velocity, and chemical reaction effects in a permeable surface. The governing equations are highly nonlinear PDEs which are converted into coupled ODEs with the help of dimensionless variables and solved by using semianalytical techniques. The numerical and graphical outcomes are observed and presented via tables and graphs. Also, the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and skin friction coefficient are illustrated by tables. On observation of heat and mass transfer, it was noticed that Maxwell fluid dominates the other fluids such as Newtonian, Williamson, and Casson fluid due to high rate of thermal conductivity, and hence, Maxwell fluid has better tendency for heat and mass transfer than other Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

  • The momentum boundary layer thickness reduced while increasing this parameter M. is is because the fact when magnetic field is imposed in the ⊥ direction on the electrically conducting fluid originate like the drag force that acts on the opposite direction of flow which produces a deceleration flow and causes the depreciation in the velocity profile

  • The porosity factor is responsible to soak the major amount of fluid from the boundary layer, so the velocity flow field decreases, but by increasing Kp amount, the thermal and concentration profiles increase, and Maxwell fluid is highly influenced than rest of the fluids under consideration

Analysis of MHD Fluids around a Linearly Stretching Sheet in Porous Media with Thermophoresis, Radiation, and Chemical Reaction. Is paper presents the comparative analysis of MHD boundary layer fluid flow around a linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiative heat flux, heat generation/absorption, thermophoresis velocity, and chemical reaction effects in a permeable surface. E governing non-Newtonian fluid equations are highly nonlinear and complex in nature; due to the complexity, the single Navier–Stokes relation is not enough to handle all the rheological properties of nonNewtonian fluids. To overcome this deficiency, further, the non-Newtonian fluids are classified into three basic categories:. Casson, Maxwell, and Williamson fluids have their own importance in the literature
