Unsteady MHD Flow of Heat and Mass Transfer of Nanofluids over Stretching Sheet with a Non-Uniform Heat/Source/Sink Considering Viscous Dissipation and Chemical Reaction

Abstract:

In this paper, unsteady MHD flow of heat and mass transfer of Cu-water and TiO₂-water nanofluids over stretching sheet with a non-uniform heat/source/sink considering viscous dissipation and chemical reaction is investigated. The governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are transformed to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations and solved using Keller box method. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are obtained and the influences of various relevant parameters, namely the magnetic parameter M, Prandtl number Pr, Eckert number Ec, Schmidt number Le , chemical reaction parameter K,unsteadiness parameter S and the Soret number Sr on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are discussed. The skin-friction coefficient–f''(0), heat transfer coefficient –θ'(0) and mass transfer coefficient –φ'(0) are presented in tables. A comparison with published results is also presented and found in good agreement. Keywords: MHD; Keller box method; unsteady; nanofluid; non-uniform heat/source/sink; chemical reaction; viscous dissipation.
