Thermosolutal MHD Marangoni Convective Flow of a Nanofluid Past a Flat Plate with Viscous Dissipation and Radiation Effects
Author:
Abstract: The radiation and viscous effects on a steady two dimensional boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a flat plate is analyzed. Two types of nanofluids namely Cu and Ag are considered with water as base fluid (Prandtl number 6.2). The governing non linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of non linear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation. A numerical solution is obtained by the help of Matlab ’bvp4c’ function. The effects of volume fraction, radiation parameter, Eckert number, Schmidt number and Soret number on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as on heat and mass transfer are studied. The results are presented through plots and tables.
