Abstract
The objective of this article is to investigate the impacts of thermo-diffusion effect on unsteady axisymmetric Casson flow over a time-dependent radially stretching sheet with a multi-slip parameter and the force of chemical reaction. We employed an established similarity transformation to this non-linear partial differential system to convert it into a system of ordinary differential equations. The numerical results are attained for this system by using KELLER-BOX implicit finite difference scheme. It has great reliability and accuracy even a very short time period for computational simulation. The impacts of influential flow parameters on fluid flow are sketched through graphs and the numerical results are thoroughly argued. The temperature, velocity and wall concentration control parameters are analyzed. (i) It is witnessed that chemical reaction is not favorable to enhance the velocity profile. (ii) Multi-slip parameters vary inversely with velocity profile. (iii) The fluid concentration in its boundary layer decreases with the increase of heavier species, the parameter of the reaction rate and the exponent of power law for fluids having Prandtl number = 10.0, 15.0, 20.0 and 25.0. Moreover, the skin-friction-coefficient factor and Nusselt-number are compared with the published work. A strong numerical solution agreement is being observed.
Highlights
The knowledge of non-Newtonian fluids has great importance for their characteristics and remarkable applications in industrial, medical products, and procedures to the researcher
The governing nonlinear PDEs are transformed into a set of highly nonlinear ODEs with the aid of suitable similarity transformations and the nonlinear coupled ODEs are solved numerically with most popular Keller-Box technique
The main goal of the proposed study was to define the role of mass transformation factor, heat transformation factor, chemical reaction and thermal radiation factors in the time-dependent axisymmetric boundary layer MHD flow of Casson fluid if multiple-slip,and thermo-diffusion effects are employed over a stretching surface
Summary
The knowledge of non-Newtonian fluids has great importance for their characteristics and remarkable applications in industrial, medical products, and procedures to the researcher. These all non-Newtonian type fluids have non-linear relation between stress and strain, whereas Newtonian fluid model has a linear relations mode. The Casson fluid model is popular for good explanation of non-Newtonian fluids and their behavior, especially flow curves for blood. It is recordable convincing fluid model because of important useful implications in our daily life as in bio medical field and polymer processing.
