Melting heat transfer assessment on magnetic nanofluid flow past a porous stretching cylinder

Abstract

The assessment of melting heat transfer and non-uniform heat source on magnetic Cu–H 2 O nanofluid flow through a porous cylinder was studied. The transformed differential equations describing the motion of Cu–H 2 O fluid together with pertinent boundary conditions were handled numerically with the assistance of Keller box method. The ranges of volume fraction of copper particles were taken as 0–25%. The impacts of various governing parameters on the physical measures such as Nusselt number, surface drag force, temperature and velocity were analyzed by representing through graphs and tables. It was noted that the flow was influenced accordingly with the governing parameters. The outcomes showed that the rate of heat exchange improved with elevated Reynolds number, space and temperature-dependent internal heat source and melting parameters. The comparison of our data in relation to those of previous works has been shown.
