- Abstract
Objective A recent evolution in fluid dynamics has been the consideration of nanoliquids which retains exceptional thermal conductivity characteristics and upsurge heat transportation in fluids. Inspired by this, the current attempt develops a nonlinear mathematical model (Williamson fluid) towards moving surface heated convectively. Formulated problem further encompasses thermophoresis, magnetic dipole, heat source, Brownian diffusion, thermal radiation and thermo-solutal convective conditions. Upshots are simulated and unveiled graphically. Drag force along with heat/mass transportation rates is addressed numerically. Method The dimensionless expressions are highly non-linear and exact/analytic computations for such expressions are not possible. Thus we employed numeric (bvp4c) scheme for solution development. Conclusions Temperature of Williamson nanofluid intesifies through larger N
b (Brownian movement) factor and Nt (thermophoretic variable). Moreover, Buongiorno relation has reverse behavior for concentration ϕ(η) of Williamson nanofluid regarding Nt and Nt . Transportation rate of heat dwindles against both Nt and Nb ., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest It is declared that we have no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2020.
