Thermophoretic Movement Transport of Reactive Casson Nanofluid on Riga Plate Surface with Nonlinear Thermal Radiation and Uneven Heat Sink/Source

Abstract

The flow of magnetized Casson nanofluid past a Riga surface is examined in this study. The model scrutinizes the impacts of nonlinear radiative, uneven heat sink/source, thermophoretic movement and chemical reaction. Additionally, model is considered water based nanofluid with nanoparticles CuO (Copper Oxide) and MgO (Magnesium Oxide). The flow mechanics transport through Riga plate is developed using coupled system of higher order equations have been mutated into ordinary order from partial order utilizing established similarity transform. These nonlinear equations are calculated by the usage of through the Galerkin weighted residual method (GWRM) along with Simpson’s one-third rule and procured results are visualized graphically. Verifications of attained numerical outcomes through available literature for limiting case are also presented and found in excellent agreement. Further, the results of engineering physical parameters were also highlighted. More so, the analysis show that an increment in the Casson term causes rise in the temperature profile for CuO and MgO nanofluid and also dominant behavior is noted in case of CuO nanofluid comparing with MgO nanofluid. Furthermore, higher values of volume fraction parameter rises the both velocity profiles f′ (η), g′ (η) for both MgO and CuO nanofluid cases.
