Abstract EN
The problem of two-dimensional steady laminar MHD boundary layer flow past a wedge with heat and mass transfer of nanofluid embedded in porous media with viscous dissipation, Brownian motion, and thermophoresis effect is considered.
Using suitable similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations have been transformed to nonlinear higher-order ordinary differential equations.
The transmuted model is shown to be controlled by a number of thermophysical parameters, viz.
the pressure gradient, magnetic, permeability, Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, and Eckert number.
The problem is then solved numerically using spectral quasilinearization method (SQLM).
The accuracy of the method is checked against the previously published results and an excellent agreement has been obtained.
The velocity boundary layer thickness reduces with an increase in pressure gradient, permeability, and magnetic parameters, whereas thermal boundary layer thickness increases with an increase in Eckert number, Brownian motion, and thermophoresis parameters.
Greater values of Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion, and magnetic parameter reduce the nanoparticles concentration boundary layer.
