Abstract
Current study solves heat transfer and fluid flow problem in Newtonian and non-Newtonian nano-fluids through a permeable surface with a magnetic field effects which is done in the presence of injection and suction for the first time. In order to solve the governing partial differential equations numerically, we used the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg (RKF45) technique in which the similarity transformation method is applied. This approach converts the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. In this particular investigation nano-particles of copper, copper oxide, titanium dioxide, and aluminium oxide are studied by considering CMC/water as a base fluid with the effect of magnetic field on the classical Blasius and Sakiadis flows of nano-fluids. Validation is carried out using the previously obtained numerical findings. We looked at the power-law index (n), the volume fraction (φ) of nano-particles and the permeability parameter (fw) which affects the flow of nano-fluid and the transfer of heat. Non-Newtonian nano-fluid demonstrates superior performance in terms of heat transfer when compared to Newtonian nano-fluid in both the injection and the impermeable surfaces. Altering the nano-particles' composition, on the other hand, has a far greater impact on the heat transfer process that occurs during suction. Graphics show the impacts of governing physical parameters on Blasius and Sakiadis flow velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and reduced Nusselt number. Physical and engineering interest are explored in detail.
