Microgravity analysis of periodic oscillations of heat and mass transfer of Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid along radiating stretching surface with Joule heating effects

Abstract

Reduced gravity impact on mixed convection flow plays a significant role for designing of electric-generating plants in space, unwanted effects of free convection, thermodynamic stability, space devices, surface tension and movement of nanoparticles. The novelty of present work is to find the impact of reduced gravity, Joule heating and thermal radiations on Darcy Forchheimer magnetized flow of nanofluid along the stretching porous sheet. The variable gravity is assumed as temperature dependent with maximum density and maximum density. The governing model is converted into convenient model to find physical thermo parameters. The primitive steady, real and imaginary equations are formed by using stokes and primitive transformations. To make programming algorithm in FORTRAN Lahey-90/95, the primitively terms are deduced in each equation. For tabular and numerical findings of steady velocity, temperature and concentration, the implicit form of finite difference approach is applied with Gaussian elimination method. The fluctuating skin friction, fluctuating heat transfer and fluctuating mass transfer are displayed by using steady outcomes in main formula. It is found that the magnitude of fluid velocity enhances as magnetic force, reduced gravity and Darcy Forchheimer parameter enhances. It is concluded that temperature distribution decreases as magnetic force enhances. It is noted that oscillating frequency in skin friction and heat transfer enhances as Schmidt number enhances. It is found that the maximum fluctuating layer in heat and mass transfer enhances as Prandtl number enhances. © 2024 The Author(s)
