Numerical analysis of Darcy resistant Sutterby nanofluid flow with effect of radiation and chemical reaction over stretching cylinder: induced magnetic field

Abstract

In this analysis, Sutterby nanofluid flow with an induced magnetic field at a nonlinear stretching cylinder is deliberated. The effects of variable thermal conductivity, Darcy resistance, and viscous dissipation are discussed. Thermal radiation and chemical reaction are considered to analyze the impact on the nonlinear stretching cylinder. The governing model of the flow problem is developed under the boundary layer approximation in terms of partial differential equations. Partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations by performing the suitable transformations. A numerical structure is applied to explain ordinary differential equations. The impact of each governing physical parameters on the temperature, concentration, skin friction, Sherwood, and Nusselt number is presented in graphs and tabular form. Increment in Prandtl number, which declined the curves of the temperature function. Temperature declined because the Prandtl number declined the thermal thickness as well as reduce the temperature of the fluid. Temperature curves showed improvement as Eckert number values increased because the Eckert number is a ratio of kinetic energy to the specific enthalpy difference between the wall and the fluid. As a result, increasing the Eckert number causes the transformation of kinetic energy into internal energy via work done against viscous fluid stresses.
