Abstract
In this investigation, the motion of TiO2/H2O nano-structures towards heated and porous sheets by considering the MHD effect and partial slip at the boundary is inspected. The non-linear PDEs that correspond to the basic conservation laws are converted into ODEs with the help of suitable similarity transformation. Furthermore, the shooting method is used to solve these transformed ODEs and boundary conditions. The impact of thermophoresis properties has been shown graphically and the effect of these properties on the skin friction coefficient (Cf) and Nussetl number (Nu) are given in table form. The comparison between the present exploration and published work is carried out and validation among results is prepared. The enhancement in thermophysical parameters showed contrary results to the velocity profile of the TiO2/H2O nanofluid as compared with temperature profile. Moreover, it is observed that the higher estimation in the velocity slip parameter retards the flow and an enhancement in volume fraction increases the fluid’s temperature. Furthermore, it has been discovered that the geometry of nanoparticles has a major impact on the flow behaviour. The temperature distribution diminishes when the shape of the nanoparticles changes from platelet to spherical.
