ABSTRACT: This research explored the effects of an angled
magnetic field, Brownian motion, and thermophoresis on the flow of an
electrically conducting and chemically
reacting Casson nanofluid under the influence of the Soret-Dufour mechanism.
A set of partial differential equations is generated by the flow mode. The
governing partial differential equations are solved numerically using the
spectral collocation method after being transformed to self-similar forms. The
effect of various fluid parameters on the velocity profile, temperature
profile, and nanoparticle concentration is
addressed. A quantitative agreement is observed
when previous findings are compared to the current results. The skin friction, local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood
number are also examined, and the results are presented in the table.
This study discovered that the inclined magnetic field has a significant impact
on the flow of the electrically conducting fluid by delaying its mobility
within the boundary layer. The plastic dynamic viscosity, which acts as a
barrier to fluid flow, is shown to degenerate the fluid velocity when the Casson
parameter is increased. As a consequence,
the findings may be used to improve thermal science instruments and
increase industrial output.
