Double stratification impact on radiative MHD flow of nanofluid toward a stretchable cylinder under thermophoresis and brownian motion with multiple slip

In this paper, numerical investigations have been performed on intricate double stratification impact with a radiative mixed convective nanofluid over a cylinder. Double stratifications comprise heat transfer used in many practical applications like power station engineering, ground-water reservoirs, thermal stratification of reservoirs, and rivers, density stratification of atmosphere, oceans, different heterogeneous mixtures, and manufacturing processing. Characteristics of heat and mass transfer have also been considered. The developing mathematical expression for momentum, energy transportation, and nano-concentration involving Brownian motion and thermophoresis inspiration are considered. The modeled equations are formulated into ordinary differential equations by applying a suitable similarity approach, which is then tackled numerically via MATLAB. Graphical illustrations of dimensionless velocity, energy, and volumetric concentration distribution are drawn against a few values of appropriate parameters. Results elucidate that enhancement occurs in the concentration profile, whereas decrement is noted for the temperature field for different values of thermophoresis and thermal stratification parameters. Our results elucidate good agreement as compared with the previously published one. The higher value of Hartmann number indicates a higher coefficient of friction.

Automated summary

In this paper, numerical investigations were conducted to study the impact of double stratification with a radiative mixed convective nanofluid over a cylinder. The study focused on the heat transfer characteristics and mass transfer involving Brownian motion and thermophoresis inspiration. The equations were solved numerically using MATLAB, and graphical illustrations were provided for the distribution of velocity, energy, and concentration against different parameters. The results showed enhancement in concentration profile and a decrease in temperature field with varying thermophoresis and thermal stratification parameters. The agreement with previously published results was found to be good, and a higher Hartmann number indicated a higher coefficient of friction.
