Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article presents a comprehensive study that thoroughly assesses the effects of Carreau fluid flow over a curved stretch surface. The study meticulously considers various factors, including nonlinear thermal radiation , convective boundary conditions, viscous dissipation, thermophoresis , Brownian motion, and nonlinear mixed convection . By using similarity variables, the problem's governing equations are transformed from nonlinear partial differential equations to nonlinear ordinary differential equations , and then the shooting method is applied to obtain the results. The study also rigorously examines the effect of modifying flow factors on velocity, temperature, and concentration in shear-thickening situations through graphical assessment. Furthermore, according to the corresponding values, a table is provided with data on skin friction , Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers. This study offers new perspectives on the complex mechanisms of Carreau fluids flowing over curved surfaces, with potential applications in materials engineering and fluid mechanics.
