Radiation, Velocity and Thermal Slips Effect Toward MHD Boundary Layer Flow Through Heat and Mass Transport of Williamson Nanofluid with Porous Medium

Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, Volume 47, No. 12, Year 2022

The thermal radiation impact of MHD boundary layer flow of Williamson nanofluid along a stretching surface with porous medium taken into account of velocity and thermal slips is discussed numerically. This model aims to examine the phenomena of heat and mass transport caused by thermophoresis and Brownian motion. Through the help of similarity transformations, the governing system of PDEs is converted to a set of nonlinear ODE’s. Here, ordinary differential equations provide the mathematical formulation. The coupled system obtained has been analyzed using the Keller-Box technique; Newton's system dictates that the coefficients must be accurate and refined. To get a full understanding of the present situation, the effect of the flow regulating factors on relevant profiles is quantified and qualitatively assessed. The wall friction factor, heat, and mass transport coefficients are calculated graphically and tabulated. The findings reveal that when the slip and heat factor parameters improve, the boundary layer's thickness drops. Furthermore, the present findings indicate that raising the Williamson parameter enhances the concentration and temperature of the nanofluid. The validity of the outcomes is further shown by comparison to previously published data, which demonstrate good agreement.
