Abstract
AbstractThe current article presents an analytical study of an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic flow of Al50Cu50/Ag‐water nanofluid over an elongated surface with thermal radiation and thermal diffusion effects. The flow is caused by an elongated plate, and the flow governing partial differential equations are transmuted into ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transmutations. The regular perturbation technique is employed to resolve the transmuted equations. The results obtained describe the influence of pertinent parameters over usual flow fields, which are presented via plots, and the expressions procured for skin friction factor and rate of thermal and diffusion transport are comprehensibly portrayed in a tabular mode. The outcomes stipulate that the thermal transport performance of Al50Cu50‐water nanofluid is moderately high as compared with Ag‐water nanofluid. Also, the thermal radiation and chemical reaction parameters have a tendency to augment the rate of mass transfer.
