Popis: | The optimal design of heating and cooling systems must take into account heat radiation which is a non-linear process. In this study, the mixed convection in a radiative magnetohydrodynamic Eyring-Powell copper-water nanofluid over a stretching cylinder was investigated. The energy balance is modeled, taking into account the non-linear thermal radiation and a thermal slip condition. The effects of the embedded flow parameters on the fluid properties, as well as on the skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate, are analyzed. Unlike in many existing studies, the recent spectral quasi-linearization method is used to solve the coupled nonlinear boundary-value problem. The computational result shows that increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction, thermal radiation parameter and heat generation parameter enhances temperature profile. We found that the velocity slip parameter and the fluid material parameter enhance the skin friction. A comparison of the current numerical results with existing literature for some limiting cases shows excellent agreement. |
