Abstract

In this study, the stagnation nano energy conversion problems have been completed for conjugate mixed convection heat and mass transfer with electrical magneto hydrodynamic (EMHD) and heat source/sink effects nanofluid flow field over a slip boundary stretching sheet surface. The physical phenomena varied which depended on different factors. All of the important nano energy conversion parameters S0, M, E, Gt, Gc, λ, Pr, Sc, Ncc, S and δ have represented the dominance of the magnetic energy effect, electric effect, mixed convection effect, heat generation/absorption energy effect, heat transfer effect, mass diffusion effect, heat conduction–convection effect and slip boundary effects, respectively. The similarity transformation and a modified Finite-Difference method are used to analyze the present nano energy conversion system's thermal energy conversion problem. The non-linear ordinary equations of the corresponding flow field momentum, temperature, concentration equations and plate sheet heat conduction equation are derived by employing the similarity transformation technology. The dimensionless non-linear ordinary equations are composed of momentum, temperature, concentration and plate sheet heat conduction equations which have been solved numerically by an improved finite difference technique.
