Abstract

This study is focused to elaborate on the effect of heat source/sink on the flow of non-Newtonian Burger nanofluid toward the stretching sheet and cylinder. The current flow analysis is designed in the form of higher order nonlinear partial differential equations along with convective heat and zero mass flux conditions. Suitable similarity transformations are used for the conversion of higher order nonlinear partial differential equations into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. For the computation of graphical and tabular results, the most powerful analytical technique, known as the homotopy analysis method, is applied to the resulting higher order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The consequence of distinct flow parameters on the Burger nanofluid velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are determined and debated in a graphical form. The key outcomes of this study are that the Burger nanofluid parameter and Deborah number have reduced the velocity of the Burger nanofluid for both the stretching sheet and cylinder. Also, it is attained that the Burger nanofluid temperature is elevated with the intensifying of thermal Biot number for both stretching sheet and cylinder. The Burger nanofluid concentration becomes higher with the escalating values of Brownian motion parameter and Lewis number for both stretching sheet and cylinder. The Nusselt number of the Burger nanofluid upsurges due to the increment of thermal Biot number for both stretching sheet and cylinder. Also, the different industrial and engineering applications of this study were obtained. The presented model can be used for a variety of industrial and engineering applications such as biotechnology, electrical engineering, cooling of devices, nuclear reactors, mechanical engineering, pharmaceutical science, bioscience, medicine, cancer treatment, industrial-grid engines, automobiles, and many others.
