This analysis demonstrates how governing parameters influence energy and mass transfer in nanofluids, suggesting important applications for thermal engineering.
This paper examines radiative magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid flow over a porous surface using the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The wall shear stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer can be determined directly due to the derivation of closed-form analytic formulae of the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle concentration fields. Sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the influence of the governing parameters on the skin friction coefficient (Cf), Nusselt number (Nu), and Sherwood number (Sh), including the magnetic field strength (M), permeability (K), radiation parameter (Rd), Eckert number (Ec), internal heat generation (Q), thermophoresis (Nt), and Brownian motion (Nb). The results indicate that diffusion of nanoparticles is very influential in the process of mass transfer, thermal parameters largely determine heat transfer, and magnetic and porous effects determine the momentum transportation. The sensitivity indices are well examined using the analytical HPM solutions.
