Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Owing to enhanced thermal features, the study of nanofluids has become motivating research area which include various applications in renewable energy, thermal management devices, heat exchangers, microelectronics cooling, automotive industry etc. Owing such applications in mind, the aim of current investigation is to present a triple diffusion flow of viscoelastic nanofluid in presence of higher order slip effects. The problem investigates the insight of thermo-diffusion phenomenon with visualization of heat transfer, solutal concentration, nanoparticles concentration and bioconvection applications. The radiative impact with nonlinear relations and heat source are incorporated in the heat equation. The numerical simulations of problem have been performed via shooting scheme. Various applications are claimed with variation of flow parameters. It has been observed that the increase of the slip parameter enhances both the temperature nanofluid and concentration profiles. The solutal concentration profile increases due to Dufour Lewis number. Moreover, the change in nano-Lewis number leads to a decrease of concentration profile.
