NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF NANOFLUID HEAT TRANSFER IN AN INCLINED STRETCHING CYLINDER UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SUCTION/ INJECTION AND VISCOUS DISSIPATION

摘要

The objective of the current analysis is to study the influence of heat generation/absorption and viscous dissipation on MHD flow of a water-based nanofluid containing silver nanoparticles in an inclined porous cylinder in the presence of suction/injection. The basic PDEs are converted into nondimensional ODEs by utilizing suitable transformations and described numerically by fourth-fifth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF) procedure via the shooting method. The influence of related parameters on momentum and thermal behavior is scrutinized through the graphs. The values of Nusselt number and skin friction are presented in tabular form. The upshots show that the thermal boundary layer thickness increases on increase in the values of the Eckert number and heat generation/absorption parameter, whereas the opposite trend is detected for the suction/injection parameter.
