Keywords:
Magnetic field, Porous medium, Boundary layer, Joule heating, Spectral collocation method.Abstract
The magnetic effects on nanofluid flow have significant industrial applications; particularly in the cooling sector. The present study numerically investigates the boundary layer flow created by the impact of magnetic field onto a stretching sheet in a porous medium. The flow governing partial differential equations have been transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. These ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically using the shooting technique and the spectral collocation technique. The resulting equations include the effect of various parameters such as permeability, Hartmann number, Eckert number, Lewis number, Brownian motion, Prandtl number and thermophoresis. Numerical results are presented graphically to illustrate the effects of these parameters on velocity, thermal and concentration boundary layer. The velocity boundary layer thickness reduces with an increase in permeability and magnetic field strength whereas thermal boundary layer thickness increases with an increase in Brownian motion, Lewis number, thermophoresis and magnetic parameter and thickness of thermal boundary layer reduces with a rise in Eckert number and Prandtl number.
