Electroosmosis and transverse magnetic effects on radiative tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow through porous medium

Modelling the thermal and fluid properties based on fluid dynamic theory helps us better understand its mechanism and the effects of the flow conditions on the fluid. These concepts find their applications in understanding drug delivery, heat regulations in industrial machinery and military applications. In this study, the effect of MHD and electroosmosis on the radiative tangent hyperbolic nanofluid flow through a porous medium is investigated. Darcy's law, Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects have also been taken into consideration. In the process of formulation, the set of non-linear differential equations have been obtained. The equations for the continuity, momentum, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction have been modified under the suitable non-dimensional quantities. The resulting dimensionless system of the equations have been solved using the bvp4c package in MATLAB software. It is observed that the velocity of the fluid increases with an increase in electroosmotic parameter. The velocity of the fluid increases with the increment in Darcy number. The temperature of the fluid significantly decreases with an increase in radiation parameter. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters on the nanoparticle volume fraction show that the nanoparticle volume fraction increases with the increment in Brownian motion parameter and significant decrement with the increase of thermophoresis parameter. Furthermore, the comparison study has been established in the presence/absence of electroosmosis parameter on the flow of Newtonian and tangent hyperbolic nanofluids.
