Characterizing Transport Phenomena in Non-Newtonian Fluids with Buoyancy and Thermal Slip Effects

Abstract

This paper presents research that examines the influence of several parameters, such as MHD, Soret and Dufour effects, buoyancy, and second-order thermal slip, on the flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid. The underlying boundary layer equations were converted into ordinary differential equations for the investigation, which were then numerically solved for general circumstances using the shooting technique. The results were drawn and thoroughly examined for a variety of parameters, including Brownian parameter, thermophoresis parameter, and magnetic parameter. The findings included velocity, temperature, and concentration patterns within the boundary layer.
