Abstract
An unsteady two-dimensional mixed convection stagnation point flow induced past a surface stretching linearly embedded in a porous medium is examined numerically in this study, utilizing the Darcy–Forchheimer model. The medium is supposed to be jammed with an incompressible non-Newtonian Williamson nanofluid. The flow is examined for two different heat transfer mechanisms namely, PST and PHF, in the presence of a time-dependent magnetic field using the Buongiorno nanofluid model. The relevant governing PDEs such as continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration equations are first converted into non-linear ODEs, utilizing similarity transformations, and then solved using bvp4c solver in MATLAB. The results have been displayed in the form of figures and tables for both heat transfer mechanisms, PST and PHF. The purpose of this work is to examine the combined effects of unsteadiness, mixed convection, and magnetic field using the Darcy–Forchheimer model on the flow of non-Newtonian Williamson nanofluid near the stagnation-point region past a linearly stretching sheet for two different cases of heat transfer namely, PST and PHF. Our study concludes that escalating unsteadiness, thermal convection, and velocity ratio correspond to a rise in the local Nusselt number which corresponds to a better rate of heat transfer. Conductive heat transfer dominates for increasing permeability of the medium in both PST and PHF heat transfer mechanisms. These findings are useful for enhancing the rate of cooling of the sheet during extrusion of polymer sheets, emulsion coated sheets, plastic film drawing, glass fiber production, etc.
