Numerical Study for Magnetohydrodynamic Flow of Nanofluid Due to a Rotating Disk with Binary Chemical Reaction and Arrhenius Activation Energy

Abstract

This article examines magnetohydrodynamic 3D nanofluid flow due to a rotating disk subject to Arrhenius activation energy and heat generation/absorption. Flow is created due to a rotating disk. Velocity, temperature and concentration slips at the surface of the rotating disk are considered. Effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are also accounted. The nonlinear expressions have been deduced by transformation procedure. Shooting technique is used to construct the numerical solution of governing system. Plots are organized just to investigate how velocities, temperature and concentration are influenced by various emerging flow parameters. Skin-friction Local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also plotted and analyzed. In addition, a symmetry is noticed for both components of velocity when Hartman number enhances.
