Casson Nanofluid Flow Lab Report
Casson Nanofluid flow, heat and mass transfer over a linearly stretching permeable surface with viscous dissipation, radiation and chemical reaction in the presence of a heat sink is analyzed. Analytical solutions to the velocity, energy and species concentration are obtained and the influences of various physical parameters on the velocity, temperature and species concentration distribution are analyzed with the help of graphs. Skin Friction Coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood number of various nanofluids with nanoparticle (Cu, Ag, Au, Al, Al2O 3 and TiO2) are also found and analyzed.

Key words —Casson Nanofluid, Chemical reaction, Porous surface, Radiation, Viscous Dissipation.

In some applications, flow and heat transfer is accompanied by mass transfer. The various applications of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer can be found in many area such as power productions, aerodynamics of aircraft and vehicles, hydrodynamics of ships, heating and air conditioning of buildings, chemical and metallurgical industries, design of IC engines, electrical machinery and electric circuits, weather and environmental pollution, Material processing such as welding, rolling extrusion, plastics and food processing, oil exploration, production of cement, drying, processing of solid and liquid wastes and bio-heat transfer(as in human and animal bodies). Acharya et al. [1] investigated heat and mass transfer with a temperature dependent heat source on an accelerating surface in the presence of power law surface temperature and Power law heat flux variations. Fluid flow and heat-transfer with internal heat generation in a porous medium has been investigated by Cortell [2]. Zueco et al. [3] studied …show more content…
Revolutionary research on nanofluid has been done by scientists all around the world. The next generation of flow and heat transfer fluids, called Nanofluid, is equipped with appropriate characteristics of nanoparticles. The research on nanofluids has opened a wide spectrum of interest of physicists, engineers and chemists etc. Enhancing thermal conductivity of fluids using nanoparticles is introduced by Choi and Eastman [17]. Later, Kakac and Pramuanjaroenkij [18] analyzed enhancement of convective heat transfer with nano fluids. Ahmad et al. [19] studied Blasius and Sakiadis problems in nanofluids. Yohannes et al. [20] heat and mass transfer in a flow of nanofluids through porous media due to stretching sheet with viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. Khann et al. [21] investigated ferrofluid with three types of ferroparticles Ferro Oxide, Cobalt Ferrite and Mn-Zn ferrite in the presence of viscous dissipation. Mohsen Sheikholeslami et al. [22] studied two phase simulation of nanofluid and heat and mass transfer in the presence of viscous dissipation. Boundary layer flow of a nanofluid with
