Abstract

Fluid flow through this media is a key component in a wide range of activities like the generation of fluids from subsurface reservoirs and subterranean water resource restoration. Consequently, the study’s goal is to investigate the motion of Magneto Hydro Dynamics (MHD) nanofluids across a convectively heated plate superimposed on a radially expanding sheet embedded in a porous media. The model is formulated and non dimensionalized using similarity variables. By employing the shooting technique to transform the boundary conditions and, the R-K scheme in MATLAB bvp4c, the system of ODEs is solved. The results obtained are displayed in graphs and others in tables. The results indicate that with increasing porosity, magnetism, and surface rotation, the flow primary velocity decreases while the temperature profile surges. The findings from this study will provide beneficial theoretical insight into what parameters should be varied for maximum profit in several sectors like the power engineering sector, aerodynamic combination, drug recovery systems, and water solar heating systems.
