Assessment of squeezing phenomenon in non-linear stratified fluid flow with slip conditions through Darcy porous material

Abstract

Stratification phenomenon plays significant role in the homogeneous mixtures of solutions in food factory and biomedical processes for same ingredients per unit area. Injection of medicine in the veins disturbs the density of blood which can be regulated through stratification process. Similarly in aerodynamics, the density of air in the atmosphere is not equal which badly effects the movement of airplanes, aircrafts etc. However, most the researchers ignore the stratification phenomenon in fluid flows. Thus, in view of such impactful applications of stratification in natural processes, we are interested to demonstrate the features of combined nonlinear stratification and slips boundary conditions in squeezed viscous fluid flow with viscous dissipation. Constant magnetic field is implemented in the flow field. Nonlinear thermal and solutal stratification are implemented to explore the nature of heat and mass transportation. Darcy porous medium is presented between the plates. First order chemical reaction and viscous dissipation are taking into account. Dimensionless governing equations are achieved through suitable transformations. Impact of temperature, velocity and concentrations fields are elaborated graphically corresponding to numerous parameters. Drag force, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are comprehensively discussed through graphs. Decrement occurs in velocity and temperature fields corresponding to dominant magnetic and thermal stratification respectively.
