Analysis of MagnetoHydroDynamics (MHD) Flow of Nanofluid Over a Porous Medium of an Exponentially Stretching Sheet with Convective Boundary Condition in Presence of Suction/Injection

Abstract

In this thesis, the analysis of the MagnetoHydroDynamics(MHD) flow of nanofluid over a porous medium of an exponentially stretching sheet with convective boundary condition in presence of suction/injection is studied. Using a suitable similarity transformation, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear higher order ordinary differential equations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by using implicit finite difference scheme known as Keller box method by implementing in MATLAB. The effects of different parameters such as Brownian motion (Nb), thermophoresis (Nt), Eckert number (Ec),Lewis number (Le), permeability (Kp), Prandtl number(Pr), Chemical reaction(Rc) are demonstrated graphically on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, skin friction coefficient, surface heat transfer rate and mass transfer rate are presented graphically as well. Numerical results obtained in the values of skin friction coefficient are compared with previously reported cases available from literature and they are found to be in a very good agreement.
