Analysis of Magnetic and Non Magnetic Nanoparticles With Newtonian/non-newtonian Base Fluids Over a Nonlinear Stretching Sheet

Abstract Unsteady mixed convectional boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid having magnetic( Fe3O4) and nonmagnetic( Al2O3) nanoparticles suspension within two different types of base fluids, water(Newtonian) and Sodium Alginate(non-Newtonian), which incorporates viscous and ohmic dissipation effects over a permeable nonlinear stretching sheet with magnetic field effects. Some suitable non-dimensional similarity transformations are applied to convert the governing PDEs into a system of nonlinear coupled ODEs and then solved by differential transformation method(DTM) association with Pade-approximation. To validate the present results for limited cases, a comparison was made with previously existing literature and found to be in well agreement. The impact of radiation, internal heat sink/ source, viscous and ohmic dissipation was discussed for magnetic and non-magnetic nanofluid categories by tabular and graphical demonstrations. We have presented the tabular results of various emerging parameters to discuss the nature of skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers. It was also observed that performance of non-Newtonian(Sodium Alginate) fluid in heat and mass transfer is better than Newtonian(water) based fluid but no major difference was seen in heat and mass transfer when comparison was made with Magnetic and Non-magnetic nanoparticles
