Influence of Variable Properties on Quadratic Convective Flow of Casson Nanofluid Past an Inclined Plane
Abstract:In this study, the combined effects of
thermophysical fluid properties alongside nonlinear thermal and solutal
convective processes in an inclined flow region containing Casson nanofluid
subjected to slip and convective boundary conditions are considered.
Application of induced non-uniform magnetic field strength applied
perpendicular to the flow plane and the buoyancy influences are believed
responsible for the quadratic convection rate. The prime PDEs are renewed to
systems of ODEs via applicable transformations and similarity variables. Assuming
a series trial solution, the flow distribution results were obtained numerically
by collocation approach with Legendary polynomial basis function. Validation of
the numerical results play favorably when compared with the weighted residual
method (Galerkin) and the existing literature. The results reveal that; Casson
fluid exhibit a solid characteristic when yield stress is more than the shear
stress, the pronouncement of nonlinear solutal and thermal buoyancy effects predicts
the acceleration of the flow fields greatly compared to the linear model,
adherence between the fluid particles and flow surface-displayed retardation in the shear force thus enhanced the motion of Casson fluid and diminished the energy
fields, surface suspension suppresses the flow but energizes both temperatures
and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles.
