Abstract
In the present study, we have perceived the impact of nonlinear thermal radiation on heat transfer analysis of Carreau nanofluid flow through wedge by considering slip conditions into account. The extremely nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity variables, and these equations together with boundary conditions are solved by using the most extensively validated finite element method. The impact of various pertinent parameters, such as Weissenberg number, wedge angle parameter, radiation parameter, temperature ratio parameter, Prandtl number, thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter, constant velocity ratio parameter, suction parameter, temperature slip parameter, Lewis number, power law index parameter, concentration slip parameter, chemical reaction parameter and magnetic parameter, on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles is calculated and is revealed through graphs. The values of Nusselt number, Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient are also calculated and shown in tables. It is noticed that there is a remarkable intensification in the values of Nusselt number, Sherwood number and skin friction coefficient as the values of Weissenberg number rise. The temperature and concentration distributions both intensify with rising values of temperature slip parameter (ξ).

1 Introduction
In many manufacturing and industrial processes such as paper fabrication, generation of power, chemical practices, glass fiber and polymer extrusion processes, higher heat transfer proficiency is a core requisite. The better heat transfer efficiency may be accomplished by suspending the nanoscale solid particles in common heat transfer fluids which change the thermophysical properties of these fluids and enhanced the heat transfer rate remarkably. Several authors [1,2,3,4,5,6] have perceived significant natural convection heat transfer enhancement in their experimental and numerical studies over different geometries by taking various nanoparticals like, copper, single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, etc., into account.
Most of the fluids applied in manufacturing industries are non-Newtonian in nature. There is nonlinear association between shear rate and shear stress in such fluids. Tooth paste, molten polymers, animal blood, pulps, etc., are the examples of these types of fluids. The corrected equation of this type of Carreau fluid which is associated with momentum equation is given by \(\mu \left( {\dot{\gamma }} \right) = \mu_{\infty } + \left( {\mu_{0} - \mu_{\infty } } \right)\left( {1 + \varGamma^{2} \left( {\dot{\gamma }} \right)^{2} } \right)^{{\frac{n - 1}{2}}}\), where μ∞ is the infinite shear stress viscosity, μ0 is the zero shear stress viscosity and n and Γ are the material parameters. Hashim et al. [7] perceived the sway of zero mass flux condition on Buongiorno’s model Carreau nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet and noticed deterioration in the rate of heat transfer with enhancing values of thermophoretic parameter. Hayat et al. [8] presented homotopy analysis method to discover the impact of Biot number on three-dimensional Carreau nanofluid flows over stretchable linear surface and identified depreciation in the temperature and concentration of the Carreau nanofluid with rising values of Weissenberg number. Khan et al. [9] deliberated a comparison between numerical solutions of homotopy analysis method and bvp4c on MHD three-dimensional Carreau nanofluids over a stretching sheet with the impact of nanoparticle mass flux condition on the surface of the wall. Irfan et al. [10] identified a nominal impact on the rate of heat transfer with higher values of Brownian motion parameter, in their study on three-dimensional Carreau nanofluid flow over bidirectional stretching sheet with variable viscosity, heat source/sink and zero mass flux condition. The heat and mass transfer characteristics of Carreau nanofluid over stretching surface with the impact of magnetic field, zero mass flux condition on the surface of the wall and thermal radiation are discussed by [11,12,13,14].
In recent times, nanofluid flows past wedge-shaped geometries have gained much consideration because of its extensive range of applications in engineering and science, such as magnetohydrodynamics, crude oil extraction, heat exchangers, aerodynamics and geothermal systems. Virtually, these types of nanofluid flows happen in ground water pollution, aerodynamics, retrieval of oil, packed bed reactors, geothermal industries, etc. Motivating from the above applications, Singh et al.

After careful observation of the literature, we found that no studies have been reported yet to discuss Buongiorno’s model nanofluid heat and mass transfer characteristics over a wedge by taking slip effects into consideration. Hence, we made an attempt to discuss the above problem in this paper. The problem is modeled by taking thermophoresis and Brownian motion into account.
2 Mathematical analysis of the problem
We contemplate a steady, incompressible, MHD laminar boundary layer, two-dimensional flow of viscous nanofluid of density ρnf with moving velocity uw and free stream velocity U over a wedge with inclined angle \(\varOmega = \gamma \varPi\). Choose the positive x-coordinate which is measured along the surface of the wedge while y-axis is perpendicular to the surface of the wedge plotted in Fig. 1. In this problem, we considered the boundary layer flow under the velocity, temperature and concentration slip conditions. A fluid magnetic field of strength \(B_{0}\) is applied along the y-direction with \(B_{0}\) constant. It is predicated that with constant temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction taken as Tw and Cw on the wedge surface ambient temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction are \(T_{\infty }\) and C∞. The governing partial equations for continuity, momentum, thermal energy and solutal of nanoparticles can be exemplified as follows [7]:
The related boundary conditions are:
The stream function ψ can be demarcated as follows:
The subsequent similarity transformations are presented to streamline the mathematical study of the problem:
By using Rosseland approximation for radiation, the radiative heat flux qr is defined as:
The non-dimensional temperature \(\theta \left( \eta \right) = \frac{{T - T_{\infty } }}{{T_{\text{w}} - T_{\infty } }}\) can be simplified as:
where \(\theta_{\text{w}} = \frac{{T_{\text{w}} }}{{T_{\infty } }}\) is the temperature parameter.
The associate transformed conditions are:
The associated non-dimensional parameters are defined as:
The another object of this problem is to calculate skin friction coefficient (Cfx), Nusselt number (Nux) and Sherwood number (Shx) given as:
where
Using the similarity variables, the above equations take the form:
where \(Re = \frac{{x u_{\text{e}} }}{\nu }\) is the Reynolds number.
3 Numerical method of solution
3.1 The finite element method
The finite element method (FEM) is such a powerful method for solving ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. The basic idea of this method is dividing the whole domain into smaller elements of finite dimensions called finite elements. This method is such a good numerical method in modern engineering analysis, and it can be applied for solving integral equations including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, chemical processing, electrical systems and many other fields. The steps involved in the finite element method [52,53,54,55] are as follows:
-
(i)
Finite element discretization
The whole domain is divided into a finite number of subdomains, which is called the discretization of the domain. Each subdomain is called an element. The collection of elements is called the finite element mesh.
-
(ii)
Generation of the element equations
-
a.
From the mesh, a typical element is isolated and the variational formulation of the given problem over the typical element is constructed.
-
b.
An approximate solution of the variational problem is assumed, and the element equations are made by substituting this solution in the above system.
-
c.
The element matrix, which is called stiffness matrix, is constructed by using the element interpolation functions.
-
a.
-
(iii)
Assembly of element equations
The algebraic equations so obtained are assembled by imposing the inter element continuity conditions. This yields a large number of algebraic equations known as the global finite element model, which governs the whole domain.
-
(iv)
Imposition of boundary conditions
The essential and natural boundary conditions are imposed on the assembled equations.
-
(v)
Solution of assembled equations
The assembled equations so obtained can be solved by any of the numerical techniques, namely the Gauss elimination method, LU decomposition method, etc. An important consideration is that of the shape functions which are employed to approximate actual functions.
For the solution of system of nonlinear ordinary differential Eqs. (11)–(13) together with boundary conditions (14)–(15), first we assume that:
Equations (11)–(13) then reduce to:
The boundary conditions take the form:
3.2 Variational formulation
The variational form associated with Eqs. (18)–(21) over a typical linear element \(\left( {\eta_{e} , \eta_{e + 1} } \right)\) is given by:
where w1, w2, and \(w_{3}\) are arbitrary test functions and may be viewed as the variations in \(f, h, \theta ,\) and ϕ, respectively.
3.3 Finite element formulation
The finite element model may be obtained from the above equations by substituting finite element approximations of the form:
with
where ψi are the shape functions for a typical element \(\left( {\eta_{e} , \eta_{e + 1} } \right)\) and are defined as:
The finite element model of the equations thus formed is given by:
where [Kmn] and [rm] (m, n = 1, 2, 3, 4) are defined as:
4 Results and discussion
Carreau nanofluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics past a moving wedge by considering magnetic field, slip conditions and nonlinear thermal radiation are analyzed numerically in this analysis. The results are displayed graphically and in the tabulated form. Graphs represent the physical significance of the problem for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for various parameters and are represented in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. In the estimation of results, in Table 1, we made a comparison and found excellent agreement with the existing work.
The impact of magnetic parameter (M) on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles is illustrated in Figs. 2, 3 and 4. With the higher values of (M), the velocity distributions of the Carreau nanofluid intensify in the fluid region and are shown in Fig. 2. From Figs. 3 and 4, we witnessed that the thickness of thermal boundary layer as well as solutal boundary layer of the Carreau nanofluid deteriorates with a higher value of M. This is because of the Lorentz force produced by the magnetic field in the fluid region.
It can see from Fig. 5 that higher values of Weissenberg number (We) cause enhancement in the velocity profiles of Carreau nanofluid. A significant reduction in the concentration boundary layer thickness is noticed in Fig. 6 with the boosting values of Lewis number (Le). The disparity of temperature profiles for diverse higher values of Prandtl number (Pr) is represented in Fig. 7 and perceived debasing nature in the temperature of the fluid along the wedge. The concentration boundary layer thickness upsurges with heightening values of (Pr) as shown in Fig. 8.
Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the temperature and concentration profiles of the Carreau nanofluid for varying values of temperature ratio parameter θw. The temperature profiles escalate as the values of θw rise; however, concentration boundary layer thickness deteriorated with the rising values of θw. The influence of Brownian motion parameter (Nb) on concentration boundary layer thickness is shown in Fig. 11. With rising values of (Nb), the concentration profiles of the Carreau nanofluid diminish in the fluid region. Figure 12 indicates the sway of thermophoresis parameter (Nt) on concentration distributions and noticed intensification in the thickness of solutal boundary layer.
Figures 13, 14 and 15 signify the impact of power law index parameter \((n)\) on hydrodynamic, thermal and solutal boundary layers of the Carreau nanofluid. With the strengthening values of power law index (n), the velocity profiles change its behavior and go on decreasing (Fig. 13). Nevertheless, the thickness of thermal and concentration boundary layers enlarges with the augmenting values of (n) as shown in Figs. 14 and 15. As the values of concentration slip parameter (β) rise, the Carreau nanofluid concentration deteriorates in the boundary layer region (Fig. 16). Furthermore, concentration boundary layer thickness also decelerates as the values of chemical reaction parameter C1 rise and is depicted in Fig. 17.
Figures 18 and 19 elucidate the temperature and concentration profiles for diverse values of radiation parameter (R). It is clear from Fig. 18 that with higher values of (R), temperature distributions of the Carreau nanofluid diminish; however, concentration profiles heighten with higher values of (R) in the fluid region and are depicted in Fig. 19. It is perceived from Fig. 20 that the velocity profiles elevate as the values of Wedge angle parameter \(\left( \gamma \right)\) rise.
The temperature and concentration distributions both intensify with rising values of temperature slip parameter \(\left( \xi \right)\). This is because of the fact that as the values of \(\left( \xi \right)\) rise, the thickness of both thermal and solutal boundary layers amplifies and is shown in Figs. 21 and 22. It is noticed from Fig. 23 that the velocity profiles of the Carreau nanofluid heighten with the enlarging values of velocity slip parameter (λ). The reason for this behavior is that with the greater values of (λ) the stretching velocity is conveyed to the fluid, which causes the elevation in the velocity profiles.
We observe that the suction parameter (V0) has an alteration for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles, respectively. Velocity profiles have a greater change for increasing values of suction parameter (V0), and temperature and concentration boundary layer thickness profiles abate for better values of suction parameter (V0) is depicted in Figs. 24, 25 and 26.
Table 2 reveals the values of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for different variations in \(M\), We, γ, V0, λ and ξ. The values of skin friction coefficient at wedge intensify with rising values of (M); furthermore, the values of Nusselt number as well as Sherwood number also heighten with the improving values of (M). As the values of (We) elevate, the values of skin friction coefficient escalate at wedge; furthermore, it elevates the values of both Nusselt number and Sherwood number in the Carreau nanofluids. The non-dimensional rate of change of velocity upsurges as (γ) values rise. With the elevating values of (γ), the Nusselt number values escalate and Sherwood number values also heighten. We have noticed that as the values of suction parameter (V0) rise, the values of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number augment in the Carreau nanofluid. Deterioration in the values of non-dimensional rates of velocity, nevertheless, elevation in the values of non-dimensional rates of temperature and concentration is perceived at wedge with rising values of (λ). We have identified deterioration in the values of both Cf and Nux; nevertheless, the values of Shx intensify with higher values of temperature slip parameter (ξ).
The values of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood number in Carreau nanofluid over the wedge for different variations in \(R\), θw, Nb, Nt, β are shown in Table 3. The values of non-dimensional rates of velocity upsurge in Carreau nanofluids as the values of (R) rise. The Nusselt number values at wedge intensify; however, Sherwood number values worsen in the fluid region with the improving values of (R). As the values of θw rise, the values of Cf and Nux diminish in the fluid region. Nevertheless, the values of Sherwood number upsurge as the values of θw rise. We have detected from this table that with amplifying values of (Nb) the non-dimensional rates of velocity and temperature diminish; nevertheless, the values of Sherwood number intensify with cumulative values of (Nb). An intensification in the rates velocity (Cf) is perceived; however, deterioration in the rate of temperature (Nux) and rates of concentration (Shx) is detected as the values of (Nt) rise. With rising values of \(C_{1}\), the non-dimensional rates’ velocity diminishes; however, heat and mass transfer rates elevate in fluid region. The values of Cf and Nux heighten, whereas Shx values diminish with higher values of concentration slip parameter (β).
