Abstract
In the present study, 3‐dimensional squeezing movement in a circling conduit under the stimulus effective Prandtl number with the aid of thermal radiation is taken into account. Water and ethylene glycol are the base fluids along with gamma‐alumina nanoparticles. The coupled nonlinear system of PDEs is transformed into a system of ODEs with the support of some appropriate resemblance alterations. Then, the explanation was obtained numerically by the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF) method. The emerging parameters such as quotient of the electric magnetic field to viscous forces ( M ), Prandtl number (Pr), and Reynolds number (Re), along with physical parameters such as the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient, will be integrated graphically. The Prandtl number is important for regulating the momentum and thermal boundary layers. As a result, the effect of the effective Prandtl number on the nanoboundary layer and laminar incompressible flow of γ Al 2 O 3 − H 2 O and γ Al 2 O 3 − C 2 H 6 O 2 nanoparticles is considered. The impact of the radiation parameter (Rd) favors the temperature distribution. Furthermore, the thermal conductance enriches with the enhancement of solid volume fraction.
