Combined Effects of Variable Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity on Dissipative Flow of Oil-Based Nanofluid over a Permeable Vertical Surface

Abstract:

Abstract: The combined effect of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on dissipative flow of oil-based nanofluid over a permeable vertical plate with suction has been studied. The governing partial differential equations have been transformed into a coupled third-order ordinary differential equations using similarity techniques. The resulting third-order ordinary differential equations were then reduced into a system of first-order ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm with a shooting method. The results revealed that both viscosity and thermal conductivities of CuO oil-based nanofluid enhances the intensity of the skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer at the surface of the plate. Furthermore, the thermal boundary layer thickness is weakened by the viscosity of CuO oil-based nanofluid, the Prandtl number, the suction parameter, the permeability of the medium and the thermal Grashof number
