Abstract

The present study examines the unsteady MHD flow of nanofluid consisting of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles dispersed in water over a rotating semi-infinite vertically moving permeable plate with magnetic field, buoyancy effect, Dufour effect, viscous dissipation and Soret effect under constant heat source. The core governing relations are made dimensionless with suitable non-dimensionless variables, and the resulting consequent equations are solved by Galerkin FEM. The graphical representations depicting concentration, temperature, and velocity profiles for various different parameters are incorporated. Nusselt number; skin friction, and Sherwood numbers are also tabulated. The velocity profile accounts for increased Dufour effect, Eckert number, and Soret effect, while the trend of decreasing is reversed for increased rotation parameter. Concentration profile enhances for intensified Soret number. The study also reveals that Nusselt number declines for the suction parameter, the Sherwood number appends for the Soret number, & also the chemical reaction parameter. The study of MHD rotating vertical moving plates has potential applications in energy systems, fusion reactors, industrial coolants, and biomedical devices.
