Abstract

The nanofluid, composed of kerosene and tantalum and nickel nanoparticles, is propagating through a porous, elastic surface. The kerosene base fluid is incompressible and electrically conducting. The energy equation for this nanofluid is formulated taking into account the viscous dissipation. The mathematical modeling is performed with the help of a similarity transformation. The developed governing equations are numerically solved using the shooting technique and the Matlab software. The physical behavior of different parameters in the model is discussed through tabular and graphical forms. The present results are also compared to past results. The results indicate that the flow propagates faster for higher values of Darcy number and Tantalum nanoparticles and that the magnetic field opposes the fluid motion. Also that the thermal boundary layer decreases in the presence of Tantalum and Nickel nanoparticles.
