Abstract
Abstract The fluid flow across spinning discs has several applications in different fields of engineering such as flywheels, gas turbine engines, brakes, and gears. The significance of heat source, Hall current, and magnetic field on the nanofluid flow between two spinning disks is studied in the present analysis. The upper disk spins as well as rotates, which generates the 3D flow. The evaluation and modeling of the mass density, flow motion, and energy transfer are performed using a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). The computational technique parametric continuation method (PCM) is employed to solve the modeled equations. The outcomes are relatively compared to the published literature for validity purposes. It has been noticed that during the downward motion of the upper disc, the effect of the magnetic field declines, while the influence of the hall current improves the velocity field. The temperature field rises with the ascending motion of the upper disk, whereas it shrinks with the downhill oscillation. Moreover, the mass diffusion ratio develops with the impact of hall current, while lessens with the influence of chemical reaction.
