MHD free convection of Al2O3–water nanofluid considering thermal radiation: A numerical study

Entropy Generation Minimization

The diffusion-thermo, radiation-absorption and Hall and ion slip effects on MHD free convective rotating flow of nano-fluids (Ag and TiO2) past a semi-infinite permeable moving plate with constant heat source are discussed. Making use of Perturbation technique, we found velocity, temperature and concentration and are discussed through graphs. We evaluated the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number analytically and computationally discussed. The resultant velocity reduces with increasing rotation parameter and enhances with increasing Hall and ion slip parameters and Dufour parameter. Radiation-absorption parameter leads to increase the thermal boundary layer thickness. Nusselt number decreases with suction parameter and Sherwood number increases chemical reaction parameter.

An analytical study is performed to examine the mass-transfer characteristics on the free-convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate under the action of constant heat flux. The effects of various parameters occurring into the problem, is extensively discussed.

Mass transfer effects on the flow past an exponentially accelerated vertical plate with constant heat flux

An analytical study is performed to examine the free-convection and mass transfer flow for the Sokes problem for an infinite vertical plate on taking into account the Soret effect (thermal diffusion effect). The Laplace transform technique is used to obtain the expressions for velocity and skin-friction. The effect of Soret numberS on velocity field and skin-friction is extensively discussed with the help of graphs and table.
