Abstract
AbstractAn analysis of steady magnetohydrodynamic axisymmetric flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid due to porous rotating disk with variable thickness in the presence of heat source/sink is presented. Soret and Dufour effects (cross‐diffusion) are also considered. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The homotopy analysis method is used to solve the resulting coupled nonlinear equations under appropriate transformed boundary conditions. A parametric study of the physical parameters is made and results are presented through graphs and tables. The results indicate that the thermal boundary layer is thicker for the flow problems having a heat source when compared with that of the problems without a heat source. It is also found that thickness of the disk is having a high impact on fluid velocity, temperature, and concentration.
