Significance of magnetized Williamson nanofluid flow for ferromagnetic nanoparticles

Abstract

In recent years, nanofluids have been discussed owing to their extensive variety of applications in industry and engineering, such as the cooling process in nuclear reactors, radiators, chemical processes, heat transfer systems, energy production, heat exchangers, astronomical technology, power plants and fusion reactions. In this research work, we have inspected the impact of ferromagnetic nanoparticles on Williamson fluid. Some suitable similar transformations are exploited to achieve the non-linear ODEs. The acquired ODEs are then solved numerically by the use of an appropriate method known as the bvp4c scheme. Impacts of ferromagnetic interaction parameters, viscous dissipation, curie temperature, Weissenberg number along with thermal radiation are perceived for velocity, temperature and Concentration fields. Furthermore, velocity and thermal gradients are deliberated and scrutinized pictorially. It is observed that the temperature of the nanofluid intensifies for larger ferrohydrodynamic interaction and curie temperature while a reverse trend is detected for . Moreover, it is anticipated through the graphical analysis that nanofluid concentration declines for larger and , while it rises for greater .
