An investigation is performed to study the effect of suction/injection on unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection flow of viscous reactive fluid between two vertical porous plates in the presence of thermal diffusion. The partial differential equations governing the flow have been solved numerically using semi-implicit finite-difference scheme. For steady case, analytical solutions have been derived using perturbation series method. Suction/injection is used to control the fluid flow in the channel, and an exothermic chemical reaction of Arrhenius kinetic is considered. Numerical results are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively with respect to various parameters embedded in the problem.

The nature of this prevailing inquisition is to scrutinize the repercussion of MHD mixed convective flow of CNTs/Al2O3 nanofluid in water past a heated stretchy plate with injection/suction, heat consumption and radiation. The Joule heating and viscous dissipation are included in our investigation. The Navier-Stokes equations are implemented to frame the governing flow expressions.

The investigation of thermal performance in the nanofluids for unsteady boundary layer flow by considering the impacts of suction/injection is a significant research area in the field of fluid dynamics. This flow situation is broadly used in aerodynamics and space sciences as well. The model is formulated for ND-HO and Ag-HO nanofluids and then tackled numerically and captured the dynamics of the nanofluids under the multiple flow parameters.

The proficiency of hybrid nanofluid from Cu-AlO/water formation as the heat transfer coolant is numerically analyzed using the powerful and user-friendly interface bvp4c in the Matlab software. For that purpose, the Cu-AlO/water nanofluid flow between two parallel plates is examined where the lower plate can be deformed while the upper plate moves towards/away from the lower plate. Other considerable factors are the wall mass suction/injection and the magnetic field that applied on the lower plate.

This article analyzes heat transfer enhancement in incompressible time dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convective flow of Oldroyd-B nanofluid with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are immersed in a base fluid named Sodium alginate. The flow is restricted to an infinite vertical plate saturated in a porous material incorporating the generalized Darcy's law and heat suction/injection.
