Two-phase mixed convection nanofluid flow of a dusty tangent hyperbolic past a nonlinearly stretching sheet

Abstract

A theoretical analysis for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection of non-Newtonian tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow with suspension dust particles along a vertical stretching sheet is carried out. The current model comprises of non-linear partial differential equations expressing conservation of total mass, momentum, and thermal energy for two-phase tangent hyperbolic nanofluid phase and dust particle phase. Primitive similarity formulation is given to mutate the dimensional boundary layer flow field equations into a proper nonlinear ordinary differential system then Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method (RKF45 method) is applied. Distinct pertinent parameter impact on the fluid or particle velocity, temperature, concentration, and skin friction coefficient is illustrated. Analysis of the obtained computations shows that the flow field is affected appreciably by the existence of suspension dust particles. It is concluded that an increment in the mass concentration of dust particles leads to depreciate the velocity distributions of the nanofluid and dust phases. The numerical computations has been validated with earlier published contributions for a special cases.
