a b s t r a c t This study investigates the thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) axisymmertric flow of a second grade fluid. Mathematical analysis has been carried out in the presence of Joule heating and first order chemical reaction. Using momentum, energy and concentration laws, the governing partial differential equations have been reduced to the ordinary differential equations by suitable transformations. Series solutions are constructed by homotopy analysis method (HAM). Convergence of the derived series solutions is ensured. Plots are displayed in order to examine the influence of emerging parameters on the dimensionless components of velocity, temperature and concentration fields. Numerical computations for skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are tabulated. Ó 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Recently, the stretching flows have received considerable attention of the researchers. This is due to their demands in aerodynamic extrusion of plastic sheets, cooling of an infinite plate in a cooling bath, liquid film in condensation process, continuous filament extrusion from a dye, the fluid dynamic of a long thread traveling between a feed roll and wind-up roll etc. Many investigations regarding stretching flows are already in different configurations. This topic has been given proper attention. However a fewer studies on axisymmetric flow driven by stretching surface are also available. Some recent contributions relevant to axisymmetric flows induced by stretching surface have been discussed in the studies [1–8]. It is now well established fact that energy and mass fluxes are engendered by composition (concentration) and temperature gradients, respectively. In fact Dufour effect (diffusion-thermo) signifying energy transfer occurs because of concentration gradient. However in view of temperature gradient there is a Soret effect (thermal-diffusion) which leads to mass transfer. The Dufour and Soret effects can not be neglected when one considers the flows of mixture of gases with light molecular weights (He, H2) and of moderate molecular weights (N2, air). Such facts are mentioned in ⇑ Corresponding author. Tel.: + 92 51 90642172. E-mail addresses: [email protected] (T. Hayat), [email protected] (M.

the studies [9–16] which investigate the Dufour and Soret effects on heat and mass transfer respectively. Some other notable investigations [18–22] highlight the Dufour and Soret effects regarding the flows induced by moving boundaries. Moreover, it is noticed that the chemical reaction may affect (retard/enhance) the mass transfer of diffusing species. The absorption of carbon dioxide into carbonate–bicarbonate buffer solution in the presence of an arsenite ion catalysts is an example of first order chemical reaction [23]. Further, the recent studies [24,25] have examined the effect of mass transfer on the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in the presence of first order chemical reaction. Literature survey reveals that no attempt regarding Dufour and Soret effects on second grade fluid flow induced by radially stretching sheets has been made so far. Note that mixture of polymethyl methacrylate in n-butyl acetate and pyridine at 25 °C containing 30.5 g of polymer per litre behaves very nearly as the second grade fluid. Isobutylene is an other example of a second grade fluid. In recent communication [2] it has been proved that solution exist for positive values of second grade parameter a. Therefore positive values of a are taken (see figures and tables). The aim of present work is to investigate the effects of diffusionthermo and thermal-diffusion on steady laminar MHD flow driven by two radially stretching sheets. The first order chemical reaction is also included. The governing problems are solved analytically by homotopy analysis method (HAM). This method is a powerful technique and has been used by many researchers in the recent studies [26–37].

2. Mathematical analysis We consider axisymmetric flow of an electrically conducting second grade fluid between two infinite parallel radially stretching sheets placed at z = ±L. The flow is induced by the linear radial stretching of two sheets. The flow is considered symmetric about z = 0. A uniform magnetic field Bo perpendicular to the planes of sheets is applied i.e. in the z-direction. It is assumed that the magnetic Reynolds number is very small and induced magnetic field is neglected. There is no external electric field. Both the sheets have constant temperature Tw and constant concentration field Cw. Furthermore, temperature and concentration fields in the centre region between sheets are smaller than Tw and Cw, respectively. Physical model and coordinate system are given in Fig. 1. The velocity field for the flow under consideration is given by

V ¼ ½uðr; zÞ; 0; wðr; zÞ;

where u and w are the velocity components in the radial and axial directions. By virtue of above definition of velocity, the governing equations are:

respectively denotes the second grade parameter, the Reynolds number (Re), Hartman number (M), Prandtl number (Pr), Dufour number (Du), Schmidt number, Soret number (Sr), local Eckert number (Ec), first order chemical reaction parameter (c) and dimensionless length (d). The dimensionless parameters Du and Sr correspond to Dufour and Soret effects respectively. It is evident from the expressions of Dufour and Soret numbers that these are arbitrary constants provided that their product remains constant. This fact is stated in the attempts [9–15]. Furthermore Du = 0 and Sr = 0 correspond to the situation when thermal diffusion and diffusionthermo effects are smaller order of magnitude than the effects described by Fourier’s and Fick’s laws [9]. There is controversy on the sign of Soret number Sr. In some studies [9,10,14] Sr(=DKT(Tw  T1)/mTm(Cw  C1)) is considered as positive dimensionless parameter based on the fact that surface temperature Tw and surface concentration Cw are higher than the corresponding temperature and concentration at ambient fluid, i.e. Tw > T1 and Cw > C1. However some investigators [16,17] have taken Sr negative as well. In these attempts they have considered both the cases when Tw > T1 and Cw > C1 and Tw > T1 and Cw < C1. However in present study Sr is taken positive because all quantities in the expression

3033

for Soret number are positive, i.e. Sr = DKTTw/mTmCw. All forthcoming computation here are carried out for positive values of Sr. The skin friction coefficient C fr , Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh are defined as:

5. Results and discussion For this purpose, the ⁄i-curves are plotted through Figs. 2–4. These figures show that the admissible ranges for ⁄i (i = 1–3) are 1.3 6 ⁄1 6 0.5, 1.15 6 ⁄2 6 0.8 and 1.2 6 ⁄3 6 0.65. However the all calculations are made when ⁄1 = ⁄2 = ⁄3 = 1.0. In order to ensure the convergence of solutions, Table 1 is constructed. From this table it is evident that the convergence is achieved at 20th order of approximations up to 9th decimal places.

In this section, the behavior of emerging parameters on dimensionless velocities, temperature and concentration fields are presented. Numerical computations for skin friction coefficient C fr , Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh are also tabulated. Figs. 5–10 are displayed to see the variations of dimensionless radial velocity f0 (g) and dimensionless axial velocity f(g) for various

It is important to mentioned over here that we have varied Du and Sr arbitrarily provided that their product remains constant. This is in accordance with the studies [9–15]. It is obvious from Fig. 5 that due to an increase in Hartman number M the radial velocity f0 (g) decreases in the vicinity of stretching sheet (0.5 6 g 6 1) whereas f0 (g) increases away from the stretch-

ing sheet (0 6 g < 0.5). This is because of the fact that magnetic field retards the fluid particles and slows down the motion in the vicinity of stretching sheets but obviously to satisfy mass conservation constraint a decrease in fluid velocity in the vicinity of stretching sheets is compensated by an increase in fluid velocity in the centre region. This gives rise to a cross-over behavior which is obvious from Fig. 5. It is noted from Fig. 6 that radial velocity f0 (g) is decreasing function of Reynolds number Re. Basically Reynolds number characterizes the viscous effects which are dominant in the vicinity of stretching sheets and consequently f0 (g) decreases in the region (0.5 6 g 6 1) near to the stretching sheet whereas it increases away from the stretching sheet (0 6 g < 0.5) in order to satisfy mass conservation constraint. The radial velocity f0 (g) increases by increasing second grade parameter a in the vicinity of stretching sheet. However it decreases away from the stretching sheets as shown in Fig. 7. Again this cross-over behavior of f0 (g) satisfies the mass conservation constraint. Fig. 8 elucidates that the magnitude of axial velocity f(g) is an increasing function of second grade parameter a. Figs. 7 and 8 demonstrate that dimensionless velocity components in radial and axial directions for second grade fluid (a – 0) are higher than those to viscous fluid (a = 0). Fig. 9 shows that the magnitude of axial velocity f(g) is a decreasing function of Hartman number M. The magnitude of axial velocity f(g) decreases by increasing Reynolds number Re. (Fig. 10). Figs. 5–7 depict that the boundary layer thickness in radial and axial directions decreases by increasing M and Re. However, it increases with an increase in a. Figs. 11–18 represent that the dimensionless temperature h(g) increases by increasing the Hartman number M, Reynolds number Re, Schamidt number Sc, Soret number Sr, Prandtl number Pr, local Eckert number Ec, Dufour number Du and second grade parameter a. From Figs. 18 and 19, one can see that effects of destructive chemical reaction (c > 0) and constructive chemical reaction (c < 0) on dimensionless concentration field / (g) are opposite. From Figs. 21–26, we can observe that the dimensionless concentration field /(g) is a decreasing function of Re, Sc, Sr, Pr, Ec and Du. Fig. 27 reveals that mass transfer increases with an increase in second grade parameter a. Figs. 28 and 29 show that for destructive chemical reaction (c > 0), dimensionless concentration field /(g) decreases the while it increases for c < 0 (generative case). Comparison of Figs. 11–20 with Figs. 21–29 indicates that the effects of Re, Sc, Sr, Du, Pr, Ec and c on dimensionless temperature h(g) and dimensionless concentration field /(g) are opposite. Table 2 shows the variation of skin friction coefficient Rer C fr . From this table, it is obvious that skin friction coefficient Rer C fr is an increasing function of M, Re and a. Table 3 is prepared for the influence of physical parameters on Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood

number Sh. This table shows that the Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh are increasing function of Re, M, Sc, Sr, Du, Pr, Ec, c and a. 6. Final remarks In this investigation, we have discussed the thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on axisymmetric flow of a second grade fluid between radially stretching sheets when Joule heating is present. The main points of the presented analysis are summarized as:  Variation of Re on f0 (g) and f(g) are similar to that of M.  Magnitude of f0 (g) and f(g) for second grade fluid (a – 0) is higher than that of viscous fluid (a = 0).  There are opposite effects of Re, Sc, Du, Sr, Pr, Ec and c on h(g) and /(g).  Qualitatively, the effects of Re, M and a on the skin friction coefficient C fr , Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh are similar.  Shear stresses increase on surface of stretching sheet with an increase in magnetic field strength and non-Newtonian nature of the fluid.  Variation of Re, M, Sc, Sr, Pr, Ec, Du, c and a on the Nusselt number Nu and Sherwood number Sh are similar.  Heat flux and diffusion flux can be increased by increasing Re, M, Sc, Sr, Pr, Ec, Du, c and a. It means that heat and diffusion fluxes can been enhanced by increasing strength of applied
