A Numerical Analysis on Heat and Mass Transport Process in Porous Medium on MHD Williamson Nanofluid Through a Permeable Extending Surface
摘要
The key intension of this study is to probe into the process of heat and mass transport initiated by the motion of hydromagnetic Williamson nanofluid over a permeable stretching surface in porous medium. Joule heating, thermal radiation, sloped magnetic field and chemical reaction are important effects incorporated in the present investigation. The fundamental equations of flow, heat and mass transfer are made dimensionless with the help of similarity transformations. Bvp4c Matlab solver has been employed to obtain the solutions in graphical form. The results reveal that radiation parameter accelerates the heat transmission rate but slows the mass transmission rate while Joule heating and chemical reaction effects show opposite behaviour to that of radiation parameter. The precision of the numerical solution is also validated by making comparison with formerly published result.
