Study of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion on non-linear mixed convection flow of Carreau nanofluid subject to variable properties

Abstract

Recently, nanofluids are working in diverse applications for instance, hybrid-mechanical mechanisms, malice usage, micro microelectronic, therapeutic diligences, aeronautics zones, thermonuclear depots and conserving of diverse machines etc. The deferments of nanofluids could be acknowledged and exploited as projecting forthcoming for the progression of viable energy strategies. This effort deals with nanotechnology and nanoscience to inspect the rheological aspects of the Carreau nanofluids. Nanofluids have been used as possible alternatives to the conventional fluids owing to their exaggerated capacity of heat transport. Here MHD nonlinear mixed convection Carreau nanofluid with variable conductivity subject to Buongiorno's theory have been elaborated. The heat source/sink and chemical reaction aspect are reported. The numerically bvp4c algorithm worked out for elucidations. The shear-thinning/thickening properties for influential variables are reported and conferred. The outcome describes that the temperature falloff for a higher magnetic number and reverse is true for variable conductivity parameter. Furthermore, contradictory behavior has been noted for constructive and destructive reaction parameters.
