Hall and ion‐slip effects on nanofluid transport from a vertical surface: Buongiorno's model

Abstract

AbstractThe non‐linear, non‐isothermal, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) laminar convection flows of Buongiorno's nanofluid past a vertical surface with Darcy‐Forchheimer model is mathematically investigated in the present article. Keller's Box implicit finite difference technique is utilized to solve the dimensionless conservation equations. Graphical and tabulated results are analyzed to study the behavior of primary and secondary velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, shear stress rate, heat transfer rate and mass transfer rate for various emerging thermos‐physical parameters. The Hall current and ion‐slip current effects are also considered. Validations of earlier solutions in the literature is also included. The study finds applications in nanomaterial fabrication processing, biomedical, polymer processing, chemical engineering, crude oil purifying, etc.
