Abstract:
Understanding the non-Newtonian Casson fluid is crucial for addressing various challenges in industrial, biological, and environmental applications. In this novel research, Casson fluid with temperature-dependent variable thermal conductivity is analyzed by a natural convective plume generated by horizontal line heat source. The plume system is under the influence of solar radiation and an aligned magnetic field. The momentum equation is transmuted for Casson fluid, while energy equation transmuted for solar radiation and variable thermal conductivity. The coupled partial differential equations changed into ordinary differential equation by employing stream function formulation. For computational evaluation, bvp4c built-in tool of MATLAB is employed in combination with Shooting technique in order to analyze both missing and specified boundary conditions. The upshots of Casson parameter beta 1, thermal conductivity variable gamma 1, radiation parameter Rd, magnetic force parameter S, Prandtl number Pr and magnetic Prandtl number gamma on specified and missing conditions are highlighted in the graphical illustrations. The computed outcomes for missing conditions depicts that for Casson parameter beta 1 velocity f ' and temperature theta drops while current density increased with increment in beta 1. Whereas, for specified boundary conditions, the skin friction f '' and magnetic flux phi ' decreases while heat transfer rate theta ' enhances for increasing beta 1. For missing conditions, the increasing thermal conductivity variable gamma 1 causes velocity f ', current density phi '', and temperature theta to drop. While for specified conditions, the skin friction f '', magnetic flux phi ' increases but heat transfer rate theta ' exhibits reverse trend with enhancing gamma 1. Additionally, a validation analysis has been performed by comparing the values of f '(0) for various values of Pr with prior work, while excluding the other parameters to check its limitations at the boundary layer.
