Unsteady homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions in MHD nanofluid mixed convection flow past a stagnation point of an impulsively rotating sphere

Abstract

This paper establishes a mathematical analysis for describing the homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions in the nearness of stagnation region of a sphere immersed in a single-phase nanofluid due to a Newtonian heating. The flow is resulted by an impulsively rotating sphere, and the nanofluid involves nanoparticles of Copper and Ferro. The available unsteady-states of the considered system are given in the case when the diffusion coefficients of both reactant and auto catalyst have the same size. The resulting non-linear dimensionless coupled partial differential equations in which governing the mixed convection flow have been tackled numerically via an implicit finite difference technique in combination with the quasi-linearization scheme. The similarities and differences in the behavior of physical pertinent fluid parameters have been elaborated and discussed graphically. It has been clarified that the nanofluid velocity and temperature profiles grow gradually by adding nanoparticles in the base fluid. Again it is noticed from present contribution that concentration of the nanofluid is decreases function by rising the strength of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. Finally, numerical computations of the skin friction and heat transfer factors are presented.

MHD Bioconvection Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluid through an Exponentially Stretchable Sheet

“…Nabwey et al [9] studied mixed convection stagnation-point flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid over a vertical stretching surface. After that, many scientists and engineers worked in the same line, and many published papers take the presence of nanofluids and magnetic field into consideration, as well as linear/nonlinear thermal radiation, chemical reaction, porosity [10][11][12][13][14][15], etc.…”

Integration of Group Method Analysis and Rough Sets Theory to Investigate Heat and Mass Transfer of the Flow of a Non-Newtonian Nanofluid towards a Vertical Stretching Surface

“…Ferdows [13] investigates the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a dissipative nanofluid, including gyrotactic microorganisms along an exponentially moving sheet. For more flow patterns see [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”
