Boundary layer flow with forced convection and viscous dissipation past a porous rotating disk

The Coriolis effect with forced convective heat transfer on steady ferrohydrodynamic flow past a rotating porous disk in the presence of viscous dissipation has been investigated. The basic idea of the Neuringer Rosensweig model has been used for the equation of motion of the nanofluid flow. With help of suitable transformations, thegoverning non-linear system of coupled partial differential equations is simplified into the dimensionless system of ordinary differential equations. Further, the dimensionless system of equations is solved numerically by the MATLAB routine bvp۴c solver package. The findings for the motivating parameters of physical interest are expressed by the table and discussed with graphs. The outcomes show that heat transfer rate and thermal boundary layer thickness increase due to the higher value of the dissipation parameter.
