Scrutinization of Waste Discharge Concentrations in Eyring-Powell Nanofluid Past a Deformable Horizontal Plane Surface

Abstract

Nanomaterials have been the focus of intense study and growth in the modern era across the globe because of their outstanding qualities, which are brought about by their nanoscale size; for instance, increased adsorption and catalysis capabilities plus significant reactivity. Multiple investigations have verified the fact that nanoparticles may successfully remove a variety of pollutants from water, and, as a result, they have been utilized in the treatment of both water and wastewater. Therefore, the current research intent is to examine the nonlinear heat source/sink influence on the 3D flow of water-based silver nanoparticles incorporated in an Eyring–Powell fluid across a deformable sheet with concentration pollutants. Silver particles have been used intensively to filter water, due to their potent antibacterial properties. The leading equations involving partial differential equations are renewed into the form of ordinary ordinary differential equations through utilizing the appropriate similarity technique. Then, these converted equations are solved by utilizing an efficient solver bvp4c. Visual displays and extensive exploration of the different impacts of the non-dimensional parameters on the concentration, temperature, and velocity profiles are provided. Also, the important engineering variables including skin friction, the rate of heat, and mass transfer are examined. The findings suggest that the mass transfer rate declines due to pollutant parameters. Also, the results suggest that the friction factor is uplifted by about 15% and that the heat transfer rate, as well as the mass transfer rate, declines by about 21%, due to the presence of the nanoparticle volume fraction. We believe that these results may improve the flow rate of nanofluid systems, improve heat transfer, and reduce pollutant dispersal.
