MHD nanofluid flow through Darcy medium with thermal radiation and heat source

In this analysis, we have considered heat transmission in two-dimensional steady laminar nanofluid flow past a wedge. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), Brownian motion, viscous dissipation and thermophoresis effects are considered over the porous surface. Similarity transformations have been used to change the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into nonlinear higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Governing ODEs with boundary conditions are then converted to the system of first-order initial value problem. After that the modeled system is solved numerically by RK4 technique. Impact of the magnetic number, Eckert number, Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion, thermophoresis and permeability parameters on the flow domain is analyzed graphically as well as in tabular form. It is noted that magnitude of Nusselt number for the flow regime increases with the increase of nondimensional parameter [Formula: see text] while opposite behavior is observed in case of R.
