Influence of Thompson and Troian slip on the nanofluid flow past a permeable plate in porous medium

The aim of the present analysis is to study the influence of Thompson and Troian slip on forced convective nanofluid flow over a permeable plate in Darcy porous medium in the presence of zero nanoparticle flux at the boundary. By the appropriate make-over, the foremost partial differential equations (PDEs) are abridged to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and numerical solutions for the nonlinear equations are subsequently attained by shooting technique. Due to enhanced permeability parameter, speed and concentration of the liquid increase but the width of the momentum boundary layer and temperature reduce. The current analysis discloses that by reducing the width of the boundary level, the rising (velocity) slip parameter forces the fluid speed and concentration to increase while dimensionless temperature reduces for increasing (velocity) slip. Compared to blowing, liquid speed and concentration are superior for suction. With the rise in Brownian motion parameter, concentration diminishes whereas with the rise in thermophoresis parameter, temperature is found to rise. The results achieved in this examination expose various motivating characteristics which demand additional investigation of the problem.

Automated summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of Thompson and Troian slip on forced convective nanofluid flow over a permeable plate in Darcy porous medium with zero nanoparticle flux at the boundary. The main partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and numerical solutions are obtained using the shooting technique. The analysis reveals that the enhanced permeability parameter increases the liquid speed and concentration while reducing the width of the momentum boundary layer and temperature. The study also shows that the slip parameter affects the fluid speed, concentration, and dimensionless temperature, and the Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters have different effects on the concentration and temperature.
