Abstract

Energy and mass transfer play a major role in several engineering and technological processes, such as air conditioning, mechanical power collectors, food processing, refrigeration, and heat exchangers. This research aims to investigate the radiative flow of an incompressible hydromagnetic micropolar nanofluid by incorporating Soret and Dufour effects. The flow partial differential equations of this study are developed using the boundary layer approximation. The modeled equations are then transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying the appropriate transformation. The MATLAB package that comes with BVP4C is used to establish the numerical solutions for this investigation. In addition, a comparison of the outcomes is presented with previously published material. The comparison shows that, in a particular case, our current results resemble the previous results very well. It is observed that temperature distribution shows an increasing behavior against the increment in Soret and Dufour impacts.
