Computational Analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic Flow Behaviour and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Dissipative Casson-Carreau Nanofluid over a Stretching Sheet with Internal Heat Generation

Abstract

The present paper focuses on the application of Chebyshev pseudospectral collocation method to the study of simultaneous effects of thermal radiation, inclined magnetic field and temperature-dependent internal heat generation on unsteady two-dimensional flow and heat transfer analysis of dissipative Casson-Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. With the aid of similarity variables, the systems of governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear third and second-order ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically by the collocation method. Additionally, the effects of the thermal-fluidic parameters on the flow behaviour and the heat transfer characteristics of the nanofluids are investigated and presented. The present work will help in manufacturing industries and production engineering
