Effects of radiative heat flux on MHD squeezing Newtonian flow between convectively heated parallel disks

This paper investigates the significance of thermal radiation on an unsteady 2D magnetohydrodynamic squeezed nanofluid flow with a convectively heated surface. Heat and mass transmissions occurring during thermal radiation and chemical reactions are modelled into a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) which are converted to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via suitable similarity variables. The numerical solution of the ordinary differential equations is carried out by a MATLAB routine bvp4c. The effect of various physical parameters such as squeezing, radiation, Hartman, Prandtl, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are analysed through graphs for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for both suction and blowing cases. Important quantities, such as skin friction, local Sherwood number and local Nusselt number are measured and elaborated. This study is validated by comparing it with previous studies.
