Outlining the impact of electro-osmotic force and mixed convection flow of EMHD nanofluid flow on the stretched cylinder: a computational layout

Abstract This research has focused on studying the electro-magneto-hydrodynamic (EMHD) nanofluid flow over a stretched cylinder in the presence of electro-osmotic force and mixed convection. This inquiry shows a novel approach through the use of thermophoresis and Brownian motion and nanofluid is comprised of water and copper nanoparticles. Similarity transformations simplified the mathematical model and produced nonlinear ordinary differential equations with suitable boundary conditions, which the MAPLE-21 software numerically solved using the RK-4 shooting criteria. Tables and graphs have been used to illustrate the impact of the key flow factors on Electric potential profiles, velocity profiles, temperature outlines, and concentration distribution. Following the physical deliveries, we have calculated the Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and skin friction. The electro-osmotic parameter diminishes the electric potential profiles and a dual effect occurs for the curvature parameter. The Nusselt number declined by 5.91 % for the electro-osmotic parameter but the Sherwood number enhanced by 30.7 % at a rate. The practical applications of this model shed light on thermal management in electronics and nuclear reactors, plasma physics, various chemical processes, filtration, separation, and fuel cells, as well as the manipulation of biological fluids in lubrication or medical devices.
