Numerical results for influence the flow of MHD nanofluids on heat and mass transfer past a stretched surface

Due to its significant applications in physics, chemistry, and engineering, some interest has been given in recent years to research the boundary layer flow of magnetohydrodynamic nanofluids. The numerical results were analyzed for temperature profile, concentration profile, reduced number of Nusselt and reduced number of Sherwood. It has also been shown that the magnetic field, the Eckert number, and the thermophoresis parameter boost the temperature field and raise the thermal boundary layer thickness while the Prandtl number reduces the temperature field at high values and lowers the thermal boundary layer thickness. However, if Lewis number is higher than the unit and the Eckert number increases, the concentration profiles decrease as well. Ultimately, the concentration profiles are reduced for the variance of the Brownian motion parameter and the Eckert number, where the thickness of the boundary layer for the mass friction feature is reduced.

Automated summary

The research on boundary layer flow of magnetohydrodynamic nanofluids has shown that magnetic field, Eckert number, and thermophoresis parameter enhance temperature field and raise thermal boundary layer thickness, while Prandtl number has the opposite effect. When Lewis number is higher than unity and Eckert number increases, concentration profiles decrease. Changes in Brownian motion parameter and Eckert number result in reduced concentration profiles and boundary layer thickness for mass friction feature.
