Geothermal viscosity in unsteady hydro-magnetic boundary layer flow of Casson fluid conveying nanoparticle mixture
摘要
Industrial and biomedical applications do not undergo constant viscosity nor uniform porous media matrix as predicted in numerous studies. Technically, results from such investigations are subjected to deficiencies in the quantitative accuracy required to perfect designs of engineering and biomedical systems. As such, the current investigation contributes to the existing literature by introducing thermal radiation, geothermal viscosity and variable Darcy phenomenon into the unsteady Casson fluid flow over a porous and stretchable plate. The unsteady flow of Casson-based fluid conveying nanoparticles mixture under Buongiorno’s model is proposed. Additionally, dynamics of thermophoresis, Brownian motion, dissipative heat and convective heating are discussed in the considered medium. The dynamical ordinary differential equations resulting from the model assumptions are solved numerically using an efficient spectral collocation method (SCM). The findings enumerate that, a rise in geothermal viscosity and continuous injection of Casson fluid declined the energy distribution across the flow region. Increase in porous matrix (i.e.,
