In this study, we presented a mathematical model for analyzing the heat source/sink effect on magnetohydrodynamic two-dimensional ferrofluid flow past a cone and a vertical plate in the presence of volume fraction of ferrous nanoparticles. The governing partial differential equations are transformed as ordinary differential equations making use of similarity solutions and solved numerically with the aid of Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. The limiting case of the present results shows a good agreement with the published results. We presented solutions for the flow over a cone and a vertical plate cases. The influence of dimensionless parameters on velocity and temperature profiles along with the friction factor coefficient and the heat transfer rate are analyzed with the help of graphs and tables. It is found that the rising value of the volume fraction of ferrous nanoparticles enhances the friction factor coefficient and heat transfer rate. It is also found that heat transfer performance of the flow over a plate is comparatively higher than the flow over a cone.

An analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional MHD mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. The parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and the expressions for velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions were obtained. Expressions for skin friction at the plate in the direction of the main flow, rate of heat transfer, and mass transfer from the plate to the fluid were derived in a non-dimensional form. Velocity, temperature, concentration, amplitudes of the perturbed parts of skin friction, rate of heat transfer, rate of mass transfer, and skin friction at the plate are presented in graphs and effects of various physical parameters like Hartmann number M, Prandtl number Pr, Reynolds number Re, Schmidt number Sc, Soret number So, Grashof number for heat transfer Gr, Grashof number for mass transfer Gm, and chemical reaction parameter Kr on the above flow quantities were analyzed and then the obtained results were physically interpreted.
