Computational Treatment of Three Dimensional Transient Magnetized Casson Fluid Across an Inclined Surface Subject to Heat Source/Sink and First Order Chemical Reaction Effect
ABSTRACT The induced convective flow of three‐dimensional Casson nanofluid governed by a bi‐directional stretching surface has potential practical implications in numerous engineering fields, such as heat exchangers, cooling systems for heat‐generating devices, and more. This investigation aims to analytically examine the natural convection mechanism and heat transfer analysis of a Casson nanofluid inside a porous surface exposed to a uniform magnetic field. Moreover, this research explores the physical insights of thermal characteristics by incorporating the effects of chemical reactions, velocity slip, Brownian diffusion, and heat sources/sinks on the transient magnetohydrodynamic flow of the nanofluid. The proposed flow framework is described by a system of partial differential equations, which are transformed into dimensionless ordinary differential equations using appropriate variables. The closed‐form solutions of a set of leading characteristic dimensionless equations are obtained analytically through the efficient homotopic analysis method. Furthermore, stability and convergence analyses of the series solutions are performed to validate the computational results explicitly. The computational findings reveal a significant decrease in flow velocity, temperature, and particle concentration profiles as the Casson fluid parameter increases. Additionally, the effects on skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are discussed in detail. This study aims to enhance the understanding of flow dynamics and heat and mass transfer mechanisms across various applications, offering valuable insights for engineering and scientific advancements. The authors accept that all the computational outcomes in this research, both analytical and numerical, are authentic and not published elsewhere.
