Influence of Thompson and Troian slip on the nanofluid flow past a permeable plate in porous medium

Abstract

The aim of the present analysis is to study the influence of Thompson and Troian slip on forced convective nanofluid flow over a permeable plate in Darcy porous medium in the presence of zero nanoparticle flux at the boundary. By the appropriate make-over, the foremost partial differential equations (PDEs) are abridged to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and numerical solutions for the nonlinear equations are subsequently attained by shooting technique. Due to enhanced permeability parameter, speed and concentration of the liquid increase but the width of the momentum boundary layer and temperature reduce. The current analysis discloses that by reducing the width of the boundary level, the rising (velocity) slip parameter forces the fluid speed and concentration to increase while dimensionless temperature reduces for increasing (velocity) slip. Compared to blowing, liquid speed and concentration are superior for suction. With the rise in Brownian motion parameter, concentration diminishes whereas with the rise in thermophoresis parameter, temperature is found to rise. The results achieved in this examination expose various motivating characteristics which demand additional investigation of the problem.
