Magnetized darcy-forchheimer stagnation point flow of micropolar ferrosoferric oxide fluid with velocity slip and convective boundary condition

The present communication develops the governing expressions that describe a steady incompressible two-dimensional flow of micropolar Ferrosoferric Oxide fluid towards a stretched surface under the impact of Lorentz force (magnetic field). Ferrofluids are made out of nanoscale ferromagnetic materials suspended in a base fluid (oil, kerosene, water). The distinction between the magnetorheological fluids (MRF) and ferrofluids (FF) is the size of the materials. The materials in a ferrofluid fundamentally comprise of nanomaterials, which are suspended by Brownian diffusion and generally under normal conditions will not settle. Here, Ferrosofer-ric Oxide (Fe₃O₄) is considered as nanoparticle and water as a base fluid. The governing equations are modeled by using Tiwari-Das nanofluid model with the help of appropriate similarity transformations. Furthermore, radiative heat flux and convective boundary condition is accounted. The numerical results of the governing equations are obtained through implementation of Built-in-Shooting technique. The impact of radiation parameter, stretching ratio parameter, magnetic parameter, thermal Biot number, micro-rotation parameter, velocity slip parameter and Darcy-Forchheimer number on the flow velocity and temperature are revealed graphically and discussed. The engineering curiosity like skin friction and Nusselt number are computationally computed and tabulated.
