Keywords: water, Ethylene glycol, tin oxide, nanofluid, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, skin friction.
The analytic study of ethylene glycol base and water base tin oxide nanofluids in an MHD spherical enclosure using combined models of thermal conductivity and effective viscosity was carried out based on the optically thick medium of the Rosseland radiative heat flux approximation. The governing equation was non-dimensionalized and solved using the Laplace Transform Technique for Sherwood number, Nusselt number, and Skin friction from the respective solution of concentration, energy, and velocity equations. Results of immense engineering importance regarding how energy and mass transfer efficiency in a spherically enclosed system depends on the Prandtl number, parameter of radiation, how drag forces in spherically enclosed system can be related to Schmidt number, parameter of chemical reaction, and how the viscous resistance within fluid boundary layer of a spherically enclosed system is characterized base on the dimensionless hydrodynamic parameters as well as the nanoparticles volume fraction of the novel nanofluid samples considered.
