Analysis of modified Fourier law in flow of ferromagnetic Powell–Eyring fluid considering two equal magnetic dipoles
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: The target of the current study is to inspect theoretically 2D boundary layer flow of an Eyring–Powell ferromagnetic liquid over a flat plate. An external magnetic field due to two magnetic dipoles is applied. Modified Fourier law of heat flux model is employed. Constitutive relations for Eyring–Powell fluid are considered in the boundary layer flow analysis. Series results to the nonlinear formulation are derived and scrutinized by homotopic scheme. Characteristics of various parameters like magneto-thermomechanical (ferrohydrodynamic) interaction parameter, Prandtl number, and dimensionless thermal relaxation on temperature profile are displayed via graphs. It is noted that temperature field decays via thermal relaxation factor.
