Shear flow of nanofluid past a vertical plate in presence of Thompson–Troian slip and Stefan blowing

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The combined impacts of Thompson‐Troian slip and Stefan blowing on flow of nanoliquid over a vertical plate in attendance of shear flow have been studied. Nanofluid is generally used to enhance the thermal properties as well as heat transport of liquid. Moreover, Stefan blowing can enhance the heat transfer coefficient by lessening the thermal resistance which is widely used in different types of cooling system. For this, such type of problem has its significant importance in various technological sectors and it attracts the attention of the researchers. The forced convection flow was considered by the authors whereas the mixed convection flow in this aspect is new and fills the gap in the literature as we have addressed this issue in this article. Here lies the novelty of our work. Using proper “similarity transformations”, the principal (partial differential equations) PDEs are altered to (ordinary differential equations) ODEs, and abridged ODEs are numerically solved with the support of Runge‐Kutta method and shooting technique. The outcomes of this investigation have significant impression on the physical appearance for flow, heat and mass transports. Fluid velocity reduces due to rise of Stefan blowing parameter but temperature is experienced to diminish. For growing slip speed and the critical shear speed, the liquid speed augments, while the hotness reduces for growing velocity slip. Compared to no‐slip case, rate of heat transfer increases 73.73% and 17.95% rise in concentration gradient at the wall is noted whereas 5.35% reduction in wall shear stress is observed for . The outcomes of this learning will be of immense help to the engineers and scientists to acquire superior flow and warmth convey features.
