Simultaneous Effects of Radiation and Variable Heat Source/Sink on MHD Flow of Keosene-Fe3O4 Ferroliquid Over a Bidirectional Stretched Geometry

There are tremendous industrial and engineering applications with ferrofluids. Present problem deals with the flow of ferrofluids along an exponentially stretching sheet. The existence of thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink is contemplated. We assumed kerosene as carrier fluid and Fe3O4 as solid nanoparticles. The differential equations representing the flow situation have been transfigured into ODEs by employing similarity transmutations. The attained differential system is coupled and nonlinear. Hence, the solution of them is achieved by Runge-Kutta fourth order algorithm along with shooting method. The impact of sundry problem quantities on the flow and thermal fields is explored in detail using graphs and tables. From this study, we perceive that an increase in radiation parameter or positive values of non uniform heat source/sink parameters is capable of enhancing the fluid temperature. Heat source causes lesser heat transfer rate.
