Numerical Study of the 3D MHD Radiative Flow of Williamson Nanofluid with Variable Characteristics Over a Double Stretching Sheet

Abstract

The current study investigates the influence of variable thermal conductivity and mass conductivity on 3D MHD. The significance of this study lies in mass diffusion on a three-dimensional Williamson nanofluid fluid flow over a double stretched sheet. When thermal radiation and Hall current is present, the heat transfer process is explored to see how chemical reactions affect heat and mass transmission. Additional phenomena, such as momentum slip and convective boundary conditions, contribute to the model's uniqueness. The problem formulation becomes ordinary differential equations with application of the Von Karman similarity variable. Use of the bvp4c function in yields a numerical solution for the system of differential equations. Using MATLAB’s bvp4c function, a numerical solution to the differential equation system is obtained. A graphic is used to discuss the overall result of several metrics compared to the involved profiles. It is believed that as temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity increase, so does the temperature field. When the Williamson fluid and magnetic parameters rise, the velocity field decays in the x- and y-axis directions. To support the identified issue, a comparison between the current inquiry and a previously published work is also included.
