A study of dual stratification on stagnation point Walters' B nanofluid flow via radiative Riga plate: a statistical approach

European Physical Journal Plus, Volume 136, No. 4, Article 407, Year 2021

Features of double stratification on stagnation point flow of Walter's B nanoliquid driven through Riga surface are examined in the current study. Via solutal stratification, radiation and thermal effects, heat and mass phenomena are evaluated. The novelty of the proposed investigation is focused on the important effect of melting phenomenon and EMHD Lorentz force along with stratification and heat generation over the rheology of the liquid flow. The influence of Brownian and thermophoresis particle deposition is included in transport equations involved in the analysis. Transformation is incorporated by the basic laws of mass, energy and linear momentum to acquire nonlinear differential system of equations. Utilizing Optimal Homotopy Analysis Method through BVPh2.0.0, optimum value of convergence control factors is estimated. Graphical findings for the dimensionless temperature, velocity and concentration for different pertinent parameters are explained. Numerical values of physical interest like skin friction coefficient, local Sherwood number and local Nusselt number are computed and visualized graphically. The heat generation and advanced modified Hartmann number improve the speed of flow. It is also observed that weaker thermal stratification upraises the rate of heat transport, and mass transport rate lessens for stronger mass stratification. In addition, contour graphs of velocity for ratio parameter A describe the accurate perception of flow. The intensity of temperature and concentration field is low owing to double stratification, whereas the stronger radiation corresponds the significantly rise in temperature. Reliability of outcomes assured by means of probable error analysis.
