Magnetically driven flow of pseudoplastic fluid across a sensor surface

Abstract

The current article addresses the unsteady squashing hydromagnetic transport of an electrically conductive pseudoplastic fluid traversing across a sensor surface. The fluid flow phenomenon is happening under the thermic radiation and heat origination effects. The sensor surface is positioned in the superficially free stream. The viscosity and thermic conductivity are taken as a concomitant of temperature. The magnetic field is acting transversely to the phenomenon. The energy equation is assimilated with the non-conventional heat transfer model. This type of assimilation is established instead of conventional Fourier’s law for expressing the heat generation, thermic radiation and especially thermal relaxation times. To construct the simpler non-dimensional structure of the arising energy, continuity and momentum equations, suitable controlling parameters have been utilized. A well-known numerical method has adopted to construct the solutions of the constructed equations. To check the convergence of the obtained numerical solutions, a comprehensive graphical analysis has been presented. The consequences of impressive parameters like heat origination parameter, radiation parameter, boundary layer, thermal relaxation times, magnetic factor and the squeezing number on the flow structure are deliberated graphically. Also, the things of engineering importance, such as the variation in squeezed flow index factor, Prandtl number, thermal conductivity, variable thickness, free stream velocity, Weissenberg number, have sturdy impacts on the flow and energy equation.
