A Numerical Study of Forced Convection Casson Nanofluid Flow Past a Wedge With Melting Process


 A numerical investigation is carried out to analyze steady two dimensional Casson nanofluid flow past a wedge with melting. The partial differential equations that govern the nanofluid flow are transformed into highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations by employing similarity transformation. Thereafter, numerical solutions of these governing equations are obtained by MATLAB routine bvp4c. A special case of the present study is compared with an existing solution in literature and is found to be in good agreement. The effects of pertinent physical entities on the nanofluid velocity, nanofluid temperature, and nanoparticle concentration are represented graphically, while skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are recorded in tabular form. We observed that, with an increase of wedge angle parameter, nanofluid velocity and local skin friction increase. However, when the melting parameter increases, nanofluid temperature and heat transfer rate decrease. This study would be useful in unfurling novel applications of Casson nanofluids in cooling devices and heat sinks.
