Abstract

In this article, we have developed a mathematical model for water and ethylene glycol based copper nanoparticles between two parallel Disks under the influence of variable magnetic field. Parametric study for the flow field, temperature variation and magnetic field are performed from the set of Navier-Stokes, Energy and from the Maxwell equations. Coupled system of PDE’s are converted into system of ODE’s by means of similarity transformations. Effects of various parameters, like, squeezing parameter S, Hartman number M, Reynolds number R and Prandtl number Pr on the physical properties of flow, temperature variation and magnetic field are discussed and graphed. For comparison numerical results obtained by Parametric Continuation Method and BVP4C package results are compared.
