Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to investigate the homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions on Prandtl fluid flow at a stretching sheet with an induced magnetic field and slip boundary conditions.,The governing equations include the continuity, induced magnetic field, momentum, energy and homogeneous–heterogeneous equations. Initially, with suitable similarity variables, the governing partial differential equations and converted into a system of ordinary differential equations. Then, the nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved by a shooting technique with the help of the BVC5C Matlab package.,The results of the present investigation are presented through graphs for different values of the various parameters. The authors observed that the large values of the stretching ratio and the induced magnetic parameters are moderate magnetic field, velocity and temperature primarily. Also, the authors found the more velocity and temperatures by boosting the slip parameters.,In addition, the values of the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer for various values of physical parameters are tabulated and deliberated in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an upper convected Maxwell (UCM) nanofluid with the thermal radiation, cross-diffusion and heat source effects along a stretching sheet.
Abstract: This paper investigates the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an upper convected Maxwell (UCM) nanofluid with the thermal radiation, cross-diffusion and heat source effects along a stretching sheet. The effects of chemical reaction, thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also studied. We have applied suitable similarity variables and transformed the governing boundary layer equations into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The present problem is solved numerically by R–K-based shooting technique. The variations of the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown graphically and discussed in detail. The numerical results of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented in tabular form for different physical parameters. It is noticed that the Dufour and thermal radiation parameters decrease the temperature field and raise the concentration field. The rising values of Deborah number and magnetic field reduce the friction factors, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. Heat source and chemical reaction parameters decline the Nusselt number and boost the Sherwood number. Also, noticed that the Dufour and Soret numbers enhance the Nusselt number but they decrease the Sherwood number.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of an inclined magnetic field, viscous dissipation and radiation on the unsteady flow of a Williamson nanofluid over a vertical stretching porous surface with the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and chemical reaction were emphasized.
Abstract: In the present work, we emphasize the impacts of an inclined magnetic field, viscous dissipation and radiation on the unsteady flow of a Williamson nanofluid over a vertical stretching porous surface with the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and chemical reaction. In this study, we considered different kinds of nanoparticles such as silver, copper, aluminium oxide ( $$\hbox {Al}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3})$$ , titanium oxide ( $$\hbox {TiO}_{2})$$ , and magnesium oxide (MgO). The basic equations of this investigation are transmuted into a system of nonlinear and coupled ODEs using suitable similarity variables and elucidated numerically by R.-K. Fehlberg-based shooting technique. Influences of the pertinent parameters on the velocity, the temperature and the concentration distributions are deliberated with the assistance of graphs and tables. This study depicts that $$\hbox {Al}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}$$ nanofluid has greater velocity since it has less dense nanoparticles compared to other nanoparticles. However, Cu-nanofluid has greater heat transfer due to greater thermal conductivity. Further, we identified that the thermal boundary layer thickness can be increased with the help of the viscous dissipation parameter. The inclination angle of the magnetic field strengthens the magnetic field on the fluid flow

Abstract: This paper deals with the influence of slip and heat transfer on the peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel with porous medium. The governing equations are solved by using perturbation technique. The expressions for the temperature, the axial velocity and pressure gradient are obtained. The impact of various physical parameters on the velocity, the temperature and the pressure rise are discussed through graphs. It is believed that the results presented here will find prospective application in the study of various fluid mechanical problems associated with gastrointestinal tract, intra pleural membranes, capillary walls and small blood vessels

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary-layer behavior on continuous surfaces is examined, and the basic differential and integral momentum equations of boundary layer theory are derived for such surfaces, for both laminar and turbulent flow in the boundary layer.
Abstract: This study deals with boundary-layer flow on continuous solid surfaces. Flow of this type represents a new class of boundary-layer problems, with solutions substantially different from those for boundary-layer flow on surfaces of finite length. In this paper the boundary-layer behavior on continuous surfaces is examined, and the basic differential and integral momentum equations of boundary-layer theory are derived for such surfaces. In subsequent papers these equations will be solved for the boundary layer on a moving continuous flat surface and a moving continuous cylindrical surface, for both laminar and turbulent flow in the boundary layer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the homotopy analysis method is employed to give analytic solutions of magnetohydrodynamic viscous flows of non-Newtonian fluids over a stretching sheet.
Abstract: A powerful, easy-to-use analytic technique for nonlinear problems, the homotopy analysis method, is employed to give analytic solutions of magnetohydrodynamic viscous flows of non-Newtonian fluids over a stretching sheet. For the so-called second-order and third-order power-law fluids, the explicit analytic solutions are given by recursive formulas with constant coefficients. Also, for real power-law index and magnetic field parameter in a quite large range, an analytic approach is proposed. All of our analytic results agree well with numerical ones. In particular, a simple analytic formula of the dimensionless velocity gradient at the wall is found, which is accurate for all real power-law indices and magnetic field parameters. This analytic formula can give sufficiently accurate results for the skin friction on the moving sheet that it would find wide application in industries. Physically, they indicate that the magnetic field tends to increase the skin friction, and that this effect is more pronounced for shear-thinning than for shear-thickening fluids.

Abstract: The flow of a viscoelastic fluid past a stretching sheet in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. An exact analytical solution of the governing non-linear boundary layer equation is obtained, showing that an external magnetic field has the same effect on the flow as the viscoelasticity.
