Melting, Soret and Dufour effect on MHD Casson fluid flow over a stretching sheet with slip conditions
摘要
Casson fluid model is a rheological model which describes flow behaviour of certain non-Newtonian fluids and commonly used to investigate the flow of yield stress fluids. When employed in the context of fluid flow over a stretching surface, the model provides insights into the behaviour of these types of fluids in various industrial as well as biomedical applications like polymer and coating processes, and blood flow in arteries. Motivated by the implementation of the flow in the industrial and biomedical application, the fundamental aim of this investigation is to explore the flow of MHD Casson fluid caused by permeable stretching sheet subjected to the effects of Soret and Dufour, chemical reaction and slip effect. Set of non-linear governing equations are mapped to the set of ODE’s via suitable similarity conversions. Then the governing equations are resolved using the bvp4c, inbuilt MATLAB tool. Numerical outcomes are graphically depicted by aid of velocity, concentration and temperature profiles for several model variables. Analysis discovered that concentration and temperature profiles are decreased with the increasing values of melting parameter (
