Abstract
AbstractIn this study, the behavior of a microchannel flow is examined. The fluid is considered to be a nanofluid, which moves between two parallel flat plates in the presence of an electrical double layer. The Buongiorno nanofluid is considered with body force. In this study, the unphysical supposition presented in the preceding work to the discontinuity of the flow fled where the electrostatic potential in the central of the canal must be equal to zero is removed. The incorrect supposition that the pressure constant is preserved, which is considered a known form, is corrected. The current fresh model equation is modified by using dimensionless parameters to convert partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The transformed nonlinear equations are solved by the homotopy analysis method. The physical parameters, magnetic parameters, Eckert number, Lewis number, Brownian motion parameters, thermophoresis parameters, and Prandtl number are analyzed. The influence of both the viscous and Joule dissipation in the presence of magnetohydrodynamic effect is examined.
Highlights
Nanofluids are formed by the colloidal interruptions of nanoparticles in a base fluid
Nanoparticles are inserted in base fluids
We know that the industrial and viscous fluids differ in their various rheological features
Summary
Sheikholeslami et al [12] investigated a two-phase nanofluid in the presence of an unsteady magnetic field They used the homotopy perturbation method for solving the model equation. Some researchers studied the heat transfer flow of nanofluids for different purposes [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33]. Anum et al [34,35,36] studied mass transfer and heat transfer of Williamson and Walters-B nanofluid flow with MHD and thermal radiation. Sumit et al [51,52,53] investigated the heat and mass transfer of the two-dimensional flow The fluid they considered in their work is Williamson nanofluid with MHD.
