Characteristics of MHD three‐dimensional flow of nanofluid over a permeable stretching porous sheet

Abstract

AbstractThe aim of the present work is to focus on heat and mass transfer characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamic three‐dimensional flow of nanofluid over a permeable stretching porous sheet. The significance of this study is the consideration of copper‐based and aluminum oxide‐based nanofluids. The physical parameters like a chemical reaction, Soret effect, radiation, and heat generation, and radiation absorption being involved in this examination are novel. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by adopting suitable similarity transformations. The numerical solutions are obtained by applying the Runge–Kutta method of fourth‐order with the Shooting technique using MATLAB. The results obtained are presented through graphs and tables for various parameters. A comparison with published results has been done to validate the methodology and found good coincidence. It is claimed that the increase in heat generation parameters results in increasing the temperature. With an increase in the Soret effect, the skin friction coefficient along x‐axis increases and skin friction coefficient along the y‐axis, Nusselt number and Sherwood number decrease.
