Mixed convection magnetohydrodynamics flow of a nanofluid with heat transfer: A numerical study

Abstract

In this paper we have studied the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection Maxwell flow of an incompressible nanofluid with magnetic field and heat transfer over a moving plate aligned horizontally. Thermal radiation has also been applied in order to investigate its effects on velocity and temperature variations in the fluid. The Caputo time derivative has been employed to derive the mathematical model. A numerical solution has been obtained using finite difference discretization along with L1-algorithm. Fractional and other pertinent physical fluid parameters like magnetic field parameter, thermal radiation, effect on velocity, and temperature distribution are analyzed and demonstrated through graphs.
