Electrical magneto hydrodynamic Jeffrey fluid flow with thermal radiation through stretched cylinder

Abstract

The current study investigates the effects of electrical and magnetic fields on the stagnation point in Jeffrey fluid flow along a stretched cylinder with thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The Cattaneo-Christov model with double stratification and thermal relaxation was used. Heat and mass transfer are investigated. Governing partial differential equations are converted to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. FEM technique is used to calculate the numerical solution of a set of nonlinear coupled equations with coding implementation in MATLAB. The numerical outcomes of current work are more significant when they are correlated with previous work. The interest in computational attempts at the formation of boundary layers for concentration distribution, fluid velocity, and temperature increases as significant parameters are varied. The main outcomes of this study are that increasing electrical effects is to decreases fluid velocity while increasing magnetic parameters is to decreases the flow velocity. Another effect is that an increase in thermal radiation and heat transfer raises the temperature of the fluid. Furthermore, the fluid concentration is reduced due to the increased level of a chemical reaction.
