Influence of oscillatory hydromagnetic field with mixed convection driven Sutterby nanofluid flow over a stretching cylinder

Abstract

A nonlinear mixed convective sutterby nanofluid flow along a stretching cylinder is being studied in this article. The set of partial differential equations (PDEs) that control fluid flow is nonlinear and subject to surface constraints and similarity transformation reduces a system of PDEs to non-dimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are then solved in MATLAB Bvp5c solver which is based on the Runge–Kutta method and Shooting technique. We provide a graphic evaluation of the significant contributions made by the various physical terms to engineering measurements in the curiosity and transport domains. The study discovers that temperature distribution increases heat border viscosity but reduces thermal diffusion, whereas nonlinear convection heat improves surface heat transfer. The periodic magnetic field raises the fluid temperature while decreasing the rate of energy transfer. Furthermore, experiments have demonstrated that oscillating magnetic fields induce fluctuations with a sinusoidal pattern. Furthermore, the current study has applications in the design and manufacture of cylinder-shaped objects in various fields such as aerospace engineering, geophysics, and nuclear engineering. These include core catchers in nuclear power plant steam turbines, waxy crude oils or foodstuffs in centrifugal pumps, and deformation rates that frequently occur in practical turbomachinery and other industrial processes.
