Impact of nanoparticles and radiation phenomenon on viscoelastic fluid

Abstract

In recent years, nanotechnologies have been widely used in several fields regarding their rapid developments which create a lot of prospects for researchers and engineers. More specifically, replacement of conventional liquids with nanoliquids is considered as an innovative solution to heat transfer problems. This research work reports mixed convective phenomenon of viscoelastic fluids with variable stretched surface. This study prospects the applications in biotechnology and irrigation systems. Characteristics of thermophoresis, nonlinear thermal radiation and Brownian moment are examined. Significant influence of no mass flux relation and variable thicked surface on second grade is studied in this work. Moreover, heat-mass transportation phenomenon is explored through thermophoresis, nonlinear thermal radiation and Brownian diffusion. Transformation procedure is adopted in order to achieve required ODEs. HAM procedure is adopted to obtain the series solution. Outcomes of physical parameters for velocity, temperature and concentration fields are discussed. Here velocity profile of second-grade fluid is detected to be a declining function K (local second-grade parameter). Higher [Formula: see text] (Brownian moment parameter) intensifies the temperature profile while concentration of viscoelastic liquid dwindles against [Formula: see text].
