Nonlinear Thermal Diffusion and Radiative Stagnation Point Flow of Nanofluid with Viscous Dissipation and Slip Constrains: Keller Box Framework Applications to Micromachines

Micromachines (Basel). 2022 Oct 27;13(11):1839. doi: 10.3390/mi13111839.

Abstract

The radiated flow of magnetized viscous fluid subject to the viscous dissipation phenomenon is numerically studied. The radiative phenomenon is addressed with nonlinear relations. Further, analysis is performed by using the slip effects and convective thermal flow constraints. The transformed problem is numerically evaluated using the Keller Box method. The physical parameter effects, such as the magnetic parameter for the velocity profile, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter and Biot number for the energy profile and Lewis number, and the thermophoresis parameter for the concentration profile are discussed. The obtained results suggest applications in enhancing the heat transfer phenomenon, thermal system, energy generation, heat transmission devices, power generation, chemical reactions, etc.
