Effects of Joule Heating and Viscous Dissipation on Magnetohydrodynamic Boundary Layer Flow of Jeffrey Nanofluid over a Vertically Stretching Cylinder

This article investigates unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convective and thermally radiative Jeffrey nanofluid flow in view of a vertical stretchable cylinder with radiation absorption and heat; the reservoir was addressed. The mathematical formulation of Jeffrey nanofluid is established based on the theory of boundary layer approximations pioneered by Prandtl. The governing model expressions in partial differential equations (PDEs) form was transformed into dimensionless form via similarity transformation technique. The set of nonlinear nondimensional partial differential equations are solved with the help of the homotopic analysis method. For the purpose of accuracy, the optimizing system parameters, convergence, and stability analysis of the analytical algorithm (CSA) were performed graphically. The velocity, temperature, and concentration flow are studied and shown graphically with the effect of system parameters such as Grashof number, Hartman number, Prandtl number, thermal radiation, Schmidt number, Eckert number, Deborah number, Brownian parameter, heat source parameter, thermophoresis parameter, and stretching parameter. Moreover, the consequence of system parameters on skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number is also examined graphically and discussed.
