In this study, magnetohydrodynamic cross fluid model is used to formulate the 2D boundary layer equations of fluid moving on the parabolic surface. The surface is assumed to be in vertical shape due to the convection. The underlying effects of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction are modeled to observe the transportation of heat and mass rate. To understand fluid behavior, the thermophysical properties are considered as variable because they have huge influence in food processing, viscometers, lubricants and various industrial works. The assumed geometry of fluid flows is similar in shape of bullet, submarine, aircraft and car's bonnet, namely paraboloid surface. The modeled equations of cross fluid with mentioned effects are obtained in form of PDEs and then converted these equations in form of ODEs by assuming set of scaling transformations. For the sake of numerical and graphical outcomes, the resulting equations are solved numerically on Matlab software via BVP4c method. Results achieved across velocity indicate that the decay happens by numerous values of Weissenberg number, power law index, viscosity parameter and Hartmann number. The temperature and concentration fields attained increasing influence by thermal conductivity coefficient, Eckert number and thermal diffusivity parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AbstractIn the present work, the author used a multistep numerical approach, namely the Milne (Predictor and Corrector) method with the Runge-Kutta method, to discuss the synergistic impacts of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and stagnation point flow involving a tangent hyperbolic fluid on the surface of a stretched cylinder. The flow field study is constructed with the impact of heat source/sink, chemically reactive species, and the joule heating effect. The phenomenon of concentration and temperature stratification is also taken into account. The Soret and Dufour effects are used to determine the solutal and thermal performance. To create a mathematical model of a physical occurrence, momentum, energy, and concentration laws are employed. The appropriate transformations can be used to convert nonlinear partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The Milne (Predictor-Corrector) method along with the Runge-Kutta 4th order scheme is used to determine the numerical findings. The graphical and numerical findings are depicted to show how several parameters influence the respective fields. The finding indicates that the velocity of fluid reduces by making variation in the Hartmann number whereas the temperature region enhances due to Hartmann number. The movement of fluid increases when the stretching ratio parameter is higher but decreases when the Weissenberg number and curvature parameter are higher. The Soret number reduces the concentration region and Dufour number enhances the temperature profile. The temperature distribution rises with higher inputs of the heat source but declines for the heat sink constrain and thermal stratification coefficient. Similarly, the concentration region upsurges for the stretching ratio parameter, while it decreases for the chemical reaction rate and solutal stratification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work investigates the transference of mass and heat rate with the Cattaneo-Christov model for the 2-D magnetohydrodynamic couple stress fluid flowing in a sensory surface. The considered fluid flowing on the microcantilever sensor surface squeezed at free stream which can perceive the motion of fluid and the variance in temperature and concentration rates. The physical nature of fluid in this study is investigated by using the variable fluid properties. The study of couple stress fluid flowing in the context of squeezing surface is important due to their unique rheological properties. The understanding of these types of flow behavior enables engineers and scientists to design efficient processes, improve lubrication, enhance coating techniques, optimize material transport and avoid instabilities associated with complex fluid flow. The governing PDEs equations are attained by adapting the considered assumptions, and then the PDEs are altered into the form of ODEs via similarity transformations. The numerical solutions are achieved by taking Adams-Bashforth (Predictor-Corrector) technique along with RK-4 method. The declining behavior of velocity is inspected for inputs of permeable velocity, couple stress parameter and squeezing flow index. The transport of mass and heat drops due to thermal relaxation coefficients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Present communication presents numerical investigation of magnetohydrodynamic Sisko fluid flow over linearly stretching cylinder along with combined effects of temperature depending thermal conductivity and viscous dissipation. The arising set of flow govern equations are simplified under usual boundary layer assumptions. A set of variable similarity transforms are employed to shift the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. The solution of attained highly nonlinear simultaneous equations is computed by an efficient technique (shooting method). Numerical computations are accomplished and interesting aspects of flow velocity and temperature are visualized via graphs for different parametric conditions. A comprehensive discussion is presented to reveal the influence of flow parameters on wall shear stress and local Nusselt number via figures and tables.Furthermore, it is observed that magnetic field provides noticeable resistance to the fluid motion while both material parameter and curvature accelerates it. The progressing values of both Eckert number and thermal conductivity parameter have qualitively same effects i.e. they rise the temperature. Additionally, material parameter and curvature parameter increase the coefficient of skin friction absolutely and qualitively similar effects are noticed for Nusselt number against variations in Prandtl number and curvature parameter. On the other hand local Nusselt diminishes for larger values of Eckert number and power law index. The present results are compared with existing literature via tables, they have good covenant with previous results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This goal of this study is to examine the incompressible steady 2D flow of MHD Carreau Yasuda model along with the heat generation and chemical reaction near a zero velocity region. The magnetic field and thermally conducting fluid towards a stretching cylinder are very significant due to its usage in the various manufacturing sector. Chemical reactions are widely practice in everyday life as turning nutrition into energy fuel for our body, food change, fireworks expulsions, removing grimes, photosynthesis, etc. The nonlinear flow model equations and their corresponding boundary conditions are changed into non-dimensional shape using similarity variables. The role of vital parameters is discussed with the assistance of MATLAB software by BVP4C method. It is concluded that the momentum increases for rising the curvature and stretching ratio parameter. This is examined that the heat field improves for rising behavior of the magnetic force, curvature coefficient and heat generation. The fluid concentration upsurges due to curvature and magnetic field parameter while reverse results shown due to chemical reaction parameter. We graphically investigate the impression of magnetic effect and chemical force for heat and mass profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
