Abstract

The heat and mass transfer characteristics on hydromagnetic squeeze flow of Jeffrey nanofluid between two plates over a permeable medium by slip condition with the influences of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction is examined. Buongiorno’s nanofluid model, which includes Brownian motion and thermophoresis impacts, is implemented in this research. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed to the nonlinear ordinary differential equations via asimilarity transformation. The transformed equations are solved by employing numerical techniques of Keller-box. A comparison of the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers with reported outputs in the journals are carried out to validate the present outputs. An excellent agreement is found. The results show that the squeezing of plates accelerates the velocity and wall shear stress. Furthermore, the velocity, temperature and concentration profile decrease when the Hartmann number and ratio of relaxation and retardation times increases. The raise in thermophoresis and viscous dissipation elevate the temperature profile and the heat transfer rate. Furthermore, the mass transfer rate declines due to the strong Brownian motion in the nanofluid, whereas it increases with the addition of chemical reaction and thermophoresis.

Highlights

  • The conventional fluid has limited heat transfer capability owing to the low thermal conductivity

  • The analytical solution of MHD squeeze flow of nanofluid over two plates across permeable medium with chemical reaction, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and heat source or sink was studied by Mohamed et al [40]

  • The present numerical research examines the influences of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction on an unsteady MHD slip flow of a Jeffrey nanofluid through permeable medium

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Sobamowo et al [37] continued the study of Sobamowo and Jayesimi [36] by considering squeezing nanofluid flow over permeable medium with suction and injection under the influence of a velocity and temperature slip Another significant characteristic that affects the flow behavior is mass transfer involving a chemical reaction. The analytical solution of MHD squeeze flow of nanofluid over two plates across permeable medium with chemical reaction, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and heat source or sink was studied by Mohamed et al [40]. In non-Newtonian fluid, Raju et al [41] discussed the presence of a chemical reaction, magnetic field and thermal radiation on a mixed convection flow of a Jeffrey nanofluid across a permeable cone. A new gateway for the high energy optimization has been discovered with nanofluid [45]
