Impact of induced magnetic field on second-grade nanofluid flow past a convectively heated stretching sheet
Abstract
Here, the main purpose of our current research work is to analyze the aspects of buoyancy force on viscoelastic (second grade fluid) magnetized nanofluid. Features of Brownian moment, viscous dissipation and thermophoretic aspects are introduced in the formulation of the problem. More specifically, the non-dimensionalization process is adopted to reduce governing system of equation (PDE) into self-similar form (ODE). Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is employed on ODE to analyze the behavior of the viscoelastic magnetized nanofluid. Moreover, comprehensive discussion related to arising physical parameters of viscoelastic liquids vs significant profiles is presented in this work. Quantities of physical interest such as Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are presented in tabular form. It has been observed that larger values of rise in the values of viscoelastic parameter (second grade fluid) results in an increment in temperature distribution.
