Abstract
This study presents the exploration of unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convection flow of tangent hyperbolic nano-fluid flow on a moving cylinder with Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. The current flow analysis yields nonlinear partial differential equations. The governing equations such as continuity, momentum, temperature and concentration are converted into dimensionless form and then solved numerically by adopting explicit finite difference method where Compaq Visual FORTRAN 6.6.a was also used for simulating the fluid flow system. The numerical outcomes are showed graphically to understand the result clearly. For the accurateness of the numerical technique a stability and convergence analysis was carried out. The aim was to illustrate the physical impacts of chemical reaction parameter, thermal radiation and viscous dissipation on various fluid fields along with the advanced visualization through streamlines. By comparing with the previous studies it was found that this fluid influenced the mass and heat properties more significantly rather than the other fluid. Additionally, this model predicts the shear thinning attitude significantly and describes the blood flow accurately. It has also applications in biological sciences, bio-engineering maneuver, and petroleum industries. Eventually the obtained outcomes were validated with previously published articles.
