A theoretical analysis of the electrically conducting blood-based Ferrofluid flow through a stretching cylinder with viscous dissipation

Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the mass and energy transmission of a blood-based Casson Ferrofluid flow across a stretching cylinder. The consequences of the Casson parameter, cylinder curvature, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and non-Newtonian viscous dissipation are also considered. The nanofluid flow phenomena are mathematically designed in the form of a system of nonlinear PDEs which are degraded and non-dimensionalized to the set of ODEs by using suitable similarity transformations. The homotopy analysis method has been applied to find out a semi-analytical solution for the nonlinear set of ODEs. The significance and physical behavior of flow parameters are graphically characterized versus the velocity, energy, and mass profiles. The numerical outcomes for Sherwood number, drag force and Nusselt number are also presented through Tables. A comparative evaluation has been done for validation purposes to authorize and justify the present results. From the tabular and graphical results, it has been noticed that the velocity profile lowers while the energy profile develops versus the variation of magnetic factor. The impact of curvature factor boosts the velocity and mass transfer rate of the Casson nanofluid while reducing the temperature curve. Furthermore, the consequences of the thermophoresis effect raise the temperature profile of the Casson Ferrofluid flow.
