Double Diffusive Convection in Flow Couple Stress Nanofluid in a Permeable Wall Vertical Channel in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

Abstract:

In this work, the flow of a couple stress nanofluid in a vertical channel with heat and mass transfer in the presence of a magnetic field and taking account the Brownian motion, the thermophoresis as well as the effect of Soret and Dufour was simulated numerically using Matlab following the code bvp4c. The nonlinear partial differential equations governing this particular flow are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations via the similarity technique. The influence of the parameters describing the behavior of the problem studied on the velocity, temperature, concentration and volume fraction fields of the nanoparticles, as well as on the coefficient of friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, were highlighted for the end of the study. understand their effect on heat and mass transfer. The rheology of the nanofluid and the magnetic field have a strong impact on the velocity and temperature profiles, while the parameters of Brownian motion and thermophoresis promote heat transfer.
