| Sumario: | The present research work scrutinizes numerical heat transfer in convective boundary layer flow having characteristics of magnetic (Fe3O4) and nonmagnetic (Al2O3) nanoparticles synthesized into two different kinds of Newtonian (water) and non-Newtonian (sodium alginate) convectional base fluids of casson nanofluid which integrates the captivating effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and magnetic field embedded in a porous medium. The characterization of electrically transmitted viscous incompressible fluid is taken into account within the Casson fluid model. The mathematical formulation of governing partial differential equations (PDEs) with highly nonlinearity is renovated into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by utilizing the suitable similarity transform that constitutes nondimensional pertinent parameters. The transformed ODEs are tackled numerically by implementing bvp4c in MATLAB. A graphical illustration for the purpose of better numerical computations of flow regime is deliberated for the specified parameters corresponding to different profiles (velocity and temperature). To elaborate the behavior of Nusselt and skin friction factor, a tabular demonstration against the distinct specific parameters is analyzed. It is perceived that the velocity gradient of Newtonian fluids is much higher comparatively to non-newtonian fluids. On the contrary, the thermal gradient of non-Newtonian fluid becomes more condensed than that of Newtonian fluids. Graphical demonstration disclosed that the heat transfer analysis in non-Newtonian (sodium alginate)-based fluid is tremendously influenced comparatively to Newtonian (water)-based fluid, and radiation interacts with the highly denser temperature profile of non-Newtonian fluid in contrast to that of Newtonian fluid. Through such comparative analysis of magnetic or nonmagnetic nanoparticles synthesized into distinct base fluids, a considerable enhancement in thermal and heat transfer analysis is quite significant in many expanding engineering and industrial phenomenons. |
