| description | The Buongiorno model is used in the study which takes into account the effects
of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on free and mixed convections boundary
layer problem. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a
nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. These
ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically using shooting method
with the help of Maple software and bvp4c codes in Matlab software.
Numerical results for the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local
Sherwood number as well as velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration
profiles are presented graphically. The governing parameters in this study are
Brownian motion parameter Nb, thermophoresis parameter Nt, suction parameter S,
mixed convection parameter l, stretching or shrinking parameter e, velocity ratio
parameter v, velocity slip parameter s, Biot number Bi, nonlinear parameter n,
curvature parameter g, Soret number Sr and Dufour number Du. It is observed that
the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers both represent
the heat and mass transfer rate are significantly controlled by these parameters.
Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters are able to enhance the heat
transfer rate when both have small values. An increment of the heat transfer rate
increases the cooling process, while the decrement of heat transfer rate enhanced
the heating process at the surface.
Dual solutions are found exists for a certain range of suction, stretching or shrinking,
mixed convection and moving parameters. It is noticed that suction and partial
slip widens the range in which the dual solutions exist. Furthermore, the first solution is found stable meanwhile the second solution is unstable and it is obtained by
performing a stability analysis. |
