Brownian motion and thermophoresis phenomenon are used to model nanoparticles (Buongiorno’s model).
Design/methodology/approach – The numerical method is applied to solve the governing equations. Obtained results from the effects of different
parameters changes on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are reported as diagrams.
Findings – As a result, velocity profile has been reduced by increasing the Hartman number (magnetic field parameter) because of the existence of
Lorentz force and increasing Eyring–Powell fluid parameter. In addition, the nanoparticle concentration profile has been reduced because of increase
in chemical reaction parameter. At the end, the effects of different parameters on skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are investigated.
Originality/value – Eyring–Powell nanofluid and MHD have significant influence on flow profile.

1. Introduction
The most important issues of manufacturers and craftsmen in
the production of various products, in addition to quality, are
reduction of time and costs. Heat and fluids are inseparable and
undeniable in industries. Finding ways to improve the process
and the amount of heat transfer has always been a concern for
scientists and researchers from the past to the present. Finding
particles in nano scale dimensions and the bringing up
nanotechnology is considered a huge revolution in science and
technology. For the first time, Choi (1995) proposed the theory
of nanofluid. Nanofluids are composed of nano-sized particles
in combination with base fluids such as water and ethylene
glycol, which have a higher thermal conductivity than base
fluids, which also improves the heat transfer process, thereby
reducing time and cost of production. In the following,
examples of research studies carried out on nanofluid are
mentioned. Numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) two-phase Couette flow analysis for fluid-particle
suspension between moving parallel plates by Hatami et al.
(2014) is investigated. Analysis of the micropolar nanofluid
flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation
and Newtonian heating by using homotopy analysis method
(HAM) has been promoted by Hayat et al. (2017a, 2017b,
2017c, 2017d). 3D squeezing flow of ethylene glycol-water
hybrid base fluid suspended by Fe3O4-Ag hybrid nanoparticles

Fluids are classified into two categories of Newtonian and
non-Newtonian fluids according to the viscosity rule. The vast
application of non-Newtonian fluids in the industry and
commerce has led to develop research studies in this field.
Important applications of these types of fluids include the
chemical industry, such as paint production, palm oil and
shampoo in food industry, such as mayonnaise production.
Eyring–Powell fluid, micropolar fluid, Eyring–Powell fluid,
Walter’s-B fluid and Casson fluid are most important non-
Newtonian fluids. In this paper, Eyring–Powell liquid has been
studied. In the following, examples research studies carried out
on non-Newtonian fluids are mentioned. Investigation of heat
and mass transfer because of the peristaltic flow of Eyring–
Powell fluid in an endoscope was performed by Akbar and
Nadeem (2012). Investigation of stagnation point flow of

external transverse magnetic field (B0) and in the conditions of
zero pressure gradient over a stretching cylinder with the angle of
a relative to the horizon and investigating the characteristics
of heat transfer and the flow of this nanofluid as shown in

4. Results and discussion Figure 3 Influence of l on velocity profile

After solving nonlinear differential equations (10)-(12) with the
boundary condition of equations (14) by using Runge–Kutta
Fehlbrg method, now in this section numerical results are
presented in several figures, in which the effect of change in
different dimensionless numbers and parameters on velocity,
temperature and concentration profiles for Eyring–Powell
nanofluid can be concluded. In addition to the effect of changes
in the value of different parameters on skin friction coefficient,
local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers in three tables have been
discussed. Also, the ranges values of these parameters in this
article have been selected from Rehman et al. (2017). First, by
focusing on Figures 2 and 3, which show the behavior of
velocity function f 0 ( h ) in the boundary layer, increasing values

Figure 1 Geometry of the problem

for Eyring–Powell fluid parameters (S and l ) can be observed.

It is found from Figure 2 that the value of velocity function
increases with increasing S, and this is the result of an inverse
relation between S and fluid viscosity ( m ). That is, with
increasing S, the viscosity of fluid molecules decreases, which
makes the molecules movement more easily, which means the
amount of velocity increases. In Figure 3, inverse a relation
between l and velocity function is observed. In fact, this
parameter unlike S, increases the fluid viscosity which is also a
factor in reducing fluid velocity.
Figure 4 illustrates fluid velocity variations for different
values of velocities ratio parameter (A). It is clear from this
chart that there is a direct relation between these two. The
parameter A is defined as the ratio of free stream velocity and
stretching velocity. Therefore, with increasing A, the amount of
free stream velocity is increased and, as a result, the velocity of
the fluid increases, which is agreed with Figure 4.
Figures 5 and 6 show the effect of mixed convection
parameter (l m) on two functions of f 0 ( h ) and u ( h ). It is
obvious from Figure 5 that increase in l m causes increasing
velocity. l m represents the ratio of the buoyancy force to the
 Joule heating effect World Journal of Engineering
S.S. Ghadikolaei, Kh. Hosseinzadeh and D.D. Ganji

Figure 4 Influence of A on velocity profile fluid viscosity. So, increase in l m cause increasing the amount
of buoyancy force, which increases fluid velocity. The effect of
l m on temperature profile is shown in Figure 6. It is understood
that l m has an inverse relation with temperature. The physical
reason for this is that by increasing l m, and buoyancy force, the
heat transfer rate increases, therefore temperature profile will
have lowering trend.
The effect of an inclination (a) on velocity and temperature
profiles are shown in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. Figure 7
shows that there is an inverse relation between a and velocity
profile. The reason is that with increasing a around the x-axis,
the effect of gravity decreases, which leads to reducing velocity.
The direct relation between a and temperature is shown in
Figure 8. In fact, with increasing a, a barrier against fluid
motion is created and therefore fluid temperature rises.
The effect of the curvature parameter (K) on the fluid
temperature distribution is shown in Figure 9. It can be seen
from this chart that K has a direct relation with temperature.
When K increases, the radius of the cylindrical curvature

decreases, so cylinder contact surfaces is also decreased, which

means there is less resistance in fluid flow direction. So fluid
velocity and hence fluid kinetic energy are increased. Since

Kelvin temperature has a direct and close relation with kinetic

energy, fluid temperature also increases.
Increase in Hartman number [magnetic field parameter
(Ha)] has reduced nanofluid velocity profile and decreased its Figure 12 Influence of Pr on temperature profile
temperature profile. Increase in Ha increases Lorentz force
generated by magnetic field, thus reducing resistance to the
fluid flow and momentum. The results are shown in
Figures 10 and 11, respectively. Temperature distribution for
different values of Prandtl number (Pr) is shown in Figure 12.
It is observed that the temperature decreases by increasing Pr.
Prandtl number defined as the ratio of mass diffusivity to
thermal diffusivity. Therefore, by increasing this parameter,
thermal diffusivity rate decreases, which means that the
temperature will have a downward trend. Another factor which
its effect on temperature profile is shown in Figure 13 is Eckert
number (Ec). It can be seen from Figure 13 that the
temperature is raised by increasing Ec. In fact, the reason is
that, with increasing Ec, the collision between fluid molecules
increases, which also causes heat to be stored in the fluid and
consequently temperature to be increased.
The effect of thermal radiation parameter (R) on
temperature function is shown in Figure 14. It is found from

Figure 10 Influence of Ha on velocity profile Figure 13 Influence of Ec on temperature profile

Figure 14 Influence of R on temperature profile Figure 16 Influence of Nb on temperature profile

this chart that R has a positive and increasing effect on

temperature. Physically, this relation is because of the fact that
R increases with increasing interaction in thermal boundary
layer, which causes the temperature to rise. In Figure 15, the Figure 17 Influence of Nb on concentration profile
effect of heat generation parameter (Q) on the temperature
distribution of fluid is shown. As can be seen, the behavior of
the temperature function is positive and incremental for
incremental value of Q. In fact, produced energy by heat
generation process causes the temperature to be increased.
The effect of Brownian motion on temperature and
concentration distribution is shown in Figures 16 and 17. It is
clear from Figure 16 that by increasing Nb, the temperature
also increases. Temperature increasing is because of the
increase of the random motion of the fluid molecules and their
collisions. In addition, Figure 17 shows reducing effect of Nb
on concentration profile. In fact, increasing random motion of
nanoparticles in the fluid causes irregular dispersion of these
particles in the fluid and ultimately concentration is decreased.
The effect of thermophoresis parameters (Nt) on
temperature and concentration functions is shown in
Figures 18 and 19, respectively. As it is clear, Nt has a direct
relation with two mentioned functions. Physically, when Nt

increases, more nanoparticles move from hot region to cold

region, which increases both temperature and concentration.
The effect of the thermal stratification parameter ( b 1) on
velocity and temperature is shown in Figures 20 and 21. It is Figure 22 Influence of Le on concentration profile
clear that increasing value of b 1 reduced velocity and
temperature. The value of velocity function is reduced because
convective potential between the cylinder surface and ambient
temperature is reduced and also the temperature is reduced
because the temperature difference between the cylinder
surface and ambient flow decreases. Figure 22 shows that the
concentration profile will decrease with increasing Lewis
number (Le). In fact, increase in the value of Le means less of
mass diffusivity and, consequently, thinning of the
concentration boundary layer. In addition, the role of solutal
stratification parameter ( b 2) on concentration distribution is
shown in Figure 23, and inverse relation between b 2 and
concentration is also observed. The reason is that with
increasing b 2, reduction occurs in convective potential
between the cylinder surface and ambient concentration.
Figure 24 indicates the concentration function behavior for
incremental values of chemical reaction parameter ( g ). It is
observed that increasing g causes concentration profile to

5. Conclusion
In this paper, a numerical analysis mixed convection on MHD
boundary layer stagnation point flow of Eyring–Powell
nanofluid induced by an inclined stretching cylindrical surface
considering the thermal radiation, chemical reaction, heat
generation and Joule heating effect using Runge–Kutta
Fehlberg method has been done. A summary of the results is as
follows:
 The velocity profile enhances for higher values of S, A and
l m where as it shows opposite attitude towards l , Ha, a
and b 1.
 The temperature profile augments with rise of a, Ha, Ec,
Nb, Nt, R and Q while it reduces with augment of l m, Pr,
K and b 1.
 Concentration profile is incremental function of larger l m
and Nt. Moreover, it is decaying function of larger Le, Nb,
b 2 and g .
 S, Ha, Pr, K and b 1 have increasing effects on the surface

drag force.
 Pr, K and R have direct relations with heat transfer rate,
whereas Ec and b 1 have reverse correlations with this
physical property.
 Magnitude of mass transfer rate augments by increasing
Le, K, and g but it decrements by increasing Pr and b 2.
