MHD 3D Crossflow in the Streamwise Direction Induced by Nanofluid Using Koo-Kleinstreuer and Li (KLL) Correlation

Aluminum nanoparticles are suitable for wiring power grids, such as local power distribution and overhead power transmission lines, because they exhibit high conductivity. These nanoparticles are also among the most utilized materials in electrical field applications. Thus, the present study investigated the impact of magnetic field on 3D crossflow in the streamwise direction with the impacts of Dufour and Soret. In addition, the effects of activation energy and chemical reaction were incorporated. The viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanofluids were premeditated by KKL correlation. Prominent PDEs (Partial Differential Equations) were converted into highly nonlinear ODEs (Ordinary Differential Equations) using the proper similarity technique and then analyzed numerically with the aid of the built-in bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The impact of diverse important variables on temperature and velocity was graphically examined. Additionally, the influences of pertaining parameters on the drag force coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number were investigated. Inspections revealed that the mass transfer rate decreases, while the heat transport increases with increasing values of the Soret factor. However, the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers validate the differing trend for rising quantities of the Dufour factor.
