Influence of Hall current & Lorentz force with nonlinear thermal radiation in an inclined slip flow of couple stress fluid over a Riga plate

Abstract

Partially ionised fluids subject to an external magnetic field results in a completely different dynamical behaviour. Very few studies are conducted to explore the fascinating properties of Hall current and Ion slip in fluid flows. Flow over a Riga plate with MHD Ion and Hall currents, nonlinear thermal radiation is still rare. We aim to analyse the inclined stagnation point slip flow of Couple Stress fluid over a stretched horizontal Riga plate to close this gap. The flow problem is modelled using Navier stokes theory along with energy conservation and then principal partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations. The governed system is solved mathematically by numerical technique RK Fehlberg method. The behaviour of fluid is described through graphs including fluid’s motion and energy. Local surface skin friction coefficients and local heat and mass flux at surface are the concerned physical magnitudes which are described through graphs and tables and are highly recommended in practical solicitations in numerous production plants and manufacturing workshops. Thermally radiative MHD flow with Ion Hall currents are broadly used in thermal controlling systems, spectro scopy, microchip technology, Magnetohydrodynamic energy conversion campaigns, exploration and expansion for high & low efficiency release, power-driven & power generation structures, MHD accelerations & thrusters, and drift regulator in hypersonic and automobiles.
