Numerical investigation of magnetized thermally radiative Fe3O4-Water base nanofluid

Abstract

The heat transfer of Fe3O4-water base nanofluid past on an exponential porous shrinking/stretching surface is investigated. Tiwari-Das model has been followed to modify the system of equations of considered problem. Mixed convection, slips and the radiative influences are incorporated in equations. The problem is tackled by using shooting method through maple software. The important findings indicate the Nusselt number increases for both cases of λ as suction is increased. The skin friction decreases for stretching and increases for shrinking case. The rise in thermal slip and Prandtl number reduce the temperature profiles.
