Abstract

This study investigates the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) regulation of viscoelastic polymer fluid flow over a permeable plate, emphasizing its relevance to industrial cooling and composite fabrication. An incompressible, electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid is analyzed under a transverse magnetic field with Hall and ion-slip effects to capture electromagnetic alterations in polymer transport. The governing non-dimensional equations for momentum, temperature, and concentration are solved analytically using the perturbation method. The results show that increasing magnetic field strength suppresses primary velocity due to Lorentz resistance, enabling effective control during polymer cooling, while Hall and ion-slip parameters enhance both primary and secondary flow components, improving resin dispersion in composite processing. Temperature decreases with higher Prandtl number and radiation absorption, indicating improved thermal regulation. Quantified variations in skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number further reveal the combined influence of electromagnetic and viscoelastic parameters on heat and mass transfer. These findings provide practical insights for optimizing polymer flow behavior and enhancing efficiency in advanced manufacturing applications.

Keywords: Viscoelastic polymer fluid; Hall effect; Ion-slip effect; Permeable plate; Industrial cooling; Composite fabrication; Perturbation method; Electromagnetic flow control.
