Computational method for energy transport of MHD nanofluids flow near non-aligned stagnation point with non-linear thermal radiation and interface slip

Abstract

Haemodialysis, nuclear reactors, cooling and heating systems, and heat exchangers are glimpses of applications where thermal problems are considered as a fundamental for flow over aligned stagnation points with heat and mass transfer components. The purpose of this study is to present steady dual solutions for non-aligned stagnation point flow of nanofluid over a linearly contracting/expanding surface under temperature and velocity slips. The mathematical model is established using boundary layer assumption. The authors acknowledge from prior investigations and studies that the non-aligned stagnation point flow across a contracting/expanding surface is highly rare in the field of engineering and fluid dynamics research. In the backdrop of non-linear thermal radiation, the problem of oblique hydromagnetic stagnation point flow of an electrically conducting optically dense viscous incompressible nanofluid across a convectively heated stretching sheet is formulated. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated into the nanofluid model. With the use of appropriate similarity transformations, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations for momentum, energy, and nanoparticle concentration are converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Using the BVP4c approach, the modified equations are numerically solved. It is discovered that when the strength of the magnetic field increases, the non-alignment of the re-attachment point on the sheet surface becomes less pronounced. The thickness of the thermal boundary layer grows as the magnetic and Biot parameters expand. The extent of the skin friction factor ascends with increasing magnetic field and suction variable inputs. The heat transfer rate detract with radiative parameter.
