Hydromagnetic nanofluids flow through a porous medium with thermal radiation, chemical reaction and viscous dissipation using the spectral relaxation method. (English) Zbl 07073998

Summary: We investigate the convective heat and mass transfer in a magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow through a porous medium over a stretching sheet subject to heat generation, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and chemical reaction effects. We have assumed that the nanoparticle volume fraction at the wall may be actively controlled. Two types of nanofluids, namely Cu-water and Al\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\)-water are studied. The physical problem is modeled using systems of nonlinear differential equations which have been solved numerically using the spectral relaxation method. Comparing the results with those previously published results in the literature shows excellent agreement. The impact of porosity, heat generation, thermal radiation, magnetic field, viscous dissipation and chemical reaction on the flow field is evaluated and explained.
