In this work we have discussed the impact of thermal radiation on heat transfer to nanofluid flow over an unsteady permeable stretching sheet using various types of arbitrary shape nanoparticles of Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag), Alumina [...], and Titania Oxide [...] in the base fluid. Suitable transformations have been employed to build ODEs from the partial differential equations. Numerical results are therefore obtained particularly for cylindrical shape and spherical shape nanoparticles. Our analysis substantiates that the velocity and temperature profiles increases with enhanced thermal radiation parameter. Further, Nusselt number is more advanced for the nanofluid that contains cylindrical shape nanoparticles as compared to spherical shape nanoparticles.
This work deals with the problem of steady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow towards a permeable stretching sheet with chemical reaction. The fundamental equations of the boundary layer are transformed into ordinary differential equations, which are then solved analytically using the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM). Comparisons are made between the results of the proposed method and the numerical method (fourth-order Runge-Kutta) in solving this problem, and excellent agrement has been observed. Subsequently, effects of different involved parameters on the temperature profiles, concentration profiles, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number and skin-friction coefficient are presented and discussed in detail.
