Heat Transfer on a Chemically Reacting Non-Newtonian Casson Fluid Over a Vertically Stretched Magnetized Surface

Abstract

An extensive investigation into heat transfer through Casson fluid on a stretched magnetized surface with presence of chemical reactants has been conducted. The magnetic strength influence at the plate surface and within the body of the fluid has been analysed as well as effects of radiation and convection fields are considered. The methods of similarity analysis have been used to transform the multivariable dependent equations modelling the flow to a single variable dependent equation. The emerged dimensionless parameters describing the flow have been presented numerically. The effects of magnetization of the surface along with the bulk fluid are presented in tables and graphs. It is evident that magnetizing the surface enhances the temperature distribution near the surface. Similar results can be seen with the coefficient of wall resistance, and the mass and transfer rate on the magnitised plate. From the study, it is recommended that surface magnetization can influence flow kinematics involving Casson fluids for efficient control.
