Analysis of water-based composite MHD fluid flow using HAM

ABSTRACT

In this study, heat and mass transfer of three-dimensional water-based composite MHD nanofluid flow through two horizontal parallel plates in a rotating system is scrutinised. Flow features of conventional fluid (water), water-based nanofluids containing CuO and Al₂O₃ as nanoparticles, and composite nanofluid are compared. Mathematical modelling of the problem results in a system of differential equations, which is solved using HAM. The physics of the problem is enlightened by discussing the effects of Reynolds number, Schmidt number, Radiation parameter, Magnetic parameter, Thermophoretic parameter, Brownian parameter, Permeability parameter, Rotation parameter and Prandtl number on heat and mass transfer. The maximum magnitude of the velocity is 0.14.
