Homogeneous–heterogeneous reaction effects in flow of tangent hyperbolic fluid on a stretching cylinder

Abstract

This study relates hyperbolic tangent fluid flow on a permeable stretching cylinder with homogeneous–heterogeneous reaction effects. The prevailing continuity, momentum, and concentration equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformation method. The resulting nonlinear system of equations is numerically tackled with an efficient, unconditionally stable, accurate, and extensively validated finite difference scheme: the Keller box technique. Graphs are sketched for the interpretation of physical parameters. The coefficient of skin friction is included to illustrate the fluid behavior near the surface of the cylinder. Comparison to the preceding literature is provided for better accuracy of numerical results.
