Article Abstract

In the current research article, the two-dimensional, incompressible, steady fluid flow is considered. The heat transfer rate of water-based aggregated fluid between converging/diverging channels of shrinking/stretching walls due to the effects of thermal radiation has been examined. The strong static magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the radial direction. The modeled governing equations are transformed into non-linear dimensionless ordinary differential equations by considering appropriate similarity transformations. Since the obtained ODEs are strongly non-linear and the exact solution of these equations is not possible, thus we applied the numerical method RK4 combined with the shooting technique to handle the equations. The impacts of several influential parameters on velocity, temperature, and entropy generation profiles are examined graphically.
