Abstract
The present article is devoted to examine the significance of double stratification in third grade stagnation point flow towards a radiative stretching cylinder. The stagnation point is discussed categorically. Analysis is scrutinized in the presence of Thermophoresis, Brownian diffusion, double stratification and heat source/sink. Suitable typical transformations are used to drive the system of ordinary differential equation. The governing system is subjected to optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) for convergent series solutions. The impact of pertinent fluid parameters on the velocity field, temperature distribution and concentration of the nanoparticles is shown graphically. Numerical data is compiled in tabulare form for skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers to analyze the variation caused by the present model and to see the impact for industrial and engineering point of view.
Highlights
The study of stratification analyzes the variations and effects in thermal stratified object for the so-called common fluids
A very few researchers in the past have made a significant contribution in investigating the effect of mass and thermal stratification over heat as well as mass transfer by a naturally convective flow
The results proved that Nusselt number is a decreasing function of the parameters of Brownian motion
Summary
The study of stratification analyzes the variations and effects in thermal stratified object (medium) for the so-called common fluids. A very few researchers in the past have made a significant contribution in investigating the effect of mass and thermal stratification over heat as well as mass transfer by a naturally convective flow. Mabood et al [10] investigated the radiation effects on stagnation point flow with melting heat transfer. Boundary layer flow and the study of heat transfer in fluid mechanics and engineering is a contemporary research area (see [16]). The objective is to discuss the stagnation point and boundary layer flow, to analyze the corresponding results in the presence of sink/source and to graphically interpret various physical parameters involved in model using Optimal Homotopy approach
