Mixed Convection Flow of a Magnetized Nanofluid with Viscous Dissipation in an Oscillatory System

This paper attempts to investigate the impacts of mixed convection and viscous dissipation on buoyancy-induced heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid flow through a semi-infinite flat plate in a magnetized oscillating system. The implications of various flow parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration distribution of the nanofluid, as well as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number has been solved semi-analytically using regular perturbation method. The basic governing equations is obtained by employing appropriate transformations techniques which result in high nonlinear coupled differential equations with physical conditions. Different types of nanoparticles are considered, and the salient characteristics of all the embedded parameters on the flow fields have been demonstrated graphically and discussed in detail. It is revealed that, raising the levels of mixed convection and viscous dissipation parameters enhance the fluid velocity respectively. This model has practical applications in the fields of chemical and engineering processes, biomedicine, resonance imaging and so on.
