Variable Fluid Characteristics’ Impacts on the Dissipative and Chemically Reactive Fluid Flow across a Stretched Surface

Abstract

This article’s goal was to explain how chemical reaction and viscous dissipation affect a non-Newtonian Cross-fluid in a boundary layer flow due to a stretching sheet with variable fluid properties. The results were obtained after assuming laminar, steady, and viscous flow characteristics. In this study, the analysis took into account the characteristics of the fluid variable diffusivity and slip velocity. It was considered that fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are temperaturedependent variables. Because of their mobility, non-Newtonian fluid particles are thought to interact chemically. The physical problem is governed by a set of partial differential equations that are not linear. Anumerical solution was reached usingNewton’s shooting methodology and the Runge–Kutta integration technique. A set of figures displays the distributions of the temperature, concentration, and velocity at various physical parameter values. The influence of all physical parameters is shown in tabular form together with the local Sherwood number, drag force, and local Nusselt number. A key conclusion was that the temperature profile of the nanofluid increases as the mixed convection parameter and Eckert number rise. Furthermore, both the Sherwood number and the Nusselt number decreased as the slip velocity parameter increased. Last but not least, the results proved that the suggested numerical approach, which offers a reliable description of the flow and heat mass transfer mechanism, is effective.
