- Description
- The characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of ferrofluids are investigated. The effects of nonlinear thermal radiation, heat generation and viscous dissipation are considered. Two different nanoparticles (Fe3O4 and MnZnFe2O4) are comprised in the base fluid (water). The ordinary differential equations are formed using suitable similarity transformations from the governing partial differential equations. The subsequent nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using RKF-45 method. The influence of governing parameters on the results are analysed. It is found that the thermal boundary layer thickens due to the influence of nonlinear radiation and heat generation for both the fluids. The rate of heat transfer is higher for MnZn ferrite-nanofluid in comparison with magnetite nanofluid. 2017 by American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
