Radiative and exponentially space-based thermal generation effects on an inclined hydromagnetic aqueous nanofluid flow past thermal slippage saturated porous media

Abstract

Advances in nanoscience and technology acquired the significance of the nanofluid in novel functional polymers like fibre insulation, geothermal system and chemical catalytic reactors. Inspired by the above applications, an innovative mathematical model is established for radiative nanoliquid flow and is engendered due to stretching sheet with inclined magnetic field which is immersed with nanoparticles. Joule dissipation and exponentially-based heat source/sink effects are employed in the present phenomenon under the heat constraints. The governing equations, which describe the flowing nanofluid, are transformed into invariant dimensionless equations with suitable similarity quantities. With the adoption of a shooting scheme with Runge–Kutta-45, the resultant equations are numerically simplified. The impact of several converted dimensionless elements on physically interesting values is depicted visually. The current analysis is validated through comparison with some selected related literature, which shows a positive correlation. The nanoparticle thermal conductivity is raised for an increased value of the thermal radiation, thermal viscosity and heat source to propel temperature profiles. The heat flux gradient significantly affects the heat propagation all over the flow regime.
