Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) free convective flow of single-phase Cu-water nanofluid to study thermal radiation and sink or source of heat over the vertical plate have been considered. It has various range of technological and manufacturing applications. Crank-Nicolson method is applied to obtain dimensionless equations numerically. The effect of several non-dimensional factors such as radiation, dimensionless time, magnetic parameter, solid volume fraction and heat source or sink on temperature and velocity profiles have been investigated. The present numerical work is verified with experimental correlation results of regular fluid for average Nusselt number and are coinciding accurately.
