A numerical analysis of magnetohydrodynamic water-based AA7072 nanofluid flow over a permeable stretching surface with slip conditions

Abstract

The nanofluid flow on a permeable stretching sheet with slip conditions has significant applications in various technological and industrial domains, especially those involving water-based AA7072 nanofluid flow. This nanofluid is ideal for increasing cooling systems in higher-performance computing and microelectronics. It can optimize processes like hyperthermia treatments and drug delivery due to its effective thermal management properties. The water-based AA7072 nanofluid is important for enhancing the efficiency of nuclear reaction cooling, solar collectors, and geothermal energy extraction. This work investigates nanofluid flow on a permeable stretching sheet with slip boundary conditions. The impact of the magnetic field is used in the normal direction of fluid motion. The influence of Joule heating, heat source viscous dissipation, and activation energy is also used in the work. The leading equations have changed to dimensionless notation and have been evaluated through the bvp4c technique. It has been highlighted in this study that, with growth in slip factor for velocity along the x-direction and y-direction there is a decrease in both primary and secondary velocities as well as in temperature and concentration distributions. Growth in the porosity factor causes a reduction in primary velocity and augmentation in secondary velocity. Primary velocity has declined while secondary velocity and thermal distribution have amplified with progression in magnetic factor and concentration of nanoparticles. Growth in Brownian motion has amplified thermal distribution while retarded concentration distribution. Thermal distribution has augmented with growth in Eckert number and heat source factor. Concentration panels have weakened with growth in chemically reactive factor and Schmidt number while augmented with an escalation in the activation energy factor.
