A numerical investigation of the chemically reactive maxwell nanofluid flow over a convectively heated rotating disk using Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium

Published in: Modern Physics Letters B

Aug 14, 2024

This study investigates the convective heat transfer characteristics in the vicinity of a stagnation point for the flow of Maxwell nanofluid over a porous rotating disk. The analysis takes into account the complex inert-active effects arising from nonlinear thermal radiation, activation energy, and the presence of a Darcy-Forchheimer medium. Through numerical simulations, the enhancement of heat transfer due to the addition of nanoparticles is explored, considering their impact on heat transpor...

Dufour and Soret diffusions phenomena for the chemically reactive MHD viscous fluid flow across a stretching sheet with variable properties

Published in: International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow

Aug 13, 2024

The flow of fluid on a slandering stretchable sheet with variable thickness can have several engineering applications like design and optimization of, aerodynamic structures such as wings and airfoils, wind turbine blade design, efficient cooling systems for electronic devices, power plants and industrial processes. Keeping in view these important applications, this work explores Darcy-Forchheimer flow of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) fluid across a slandering stretchable sheet with variable thick...
