Computational analysis of thermal performance of temperature dependent density and Arrhenius-activation energy of chemically reacting nanofluid along polymer porous sheet in high temperature differences

Abstract

An innovative technique to improve heat transmission is the use of nanofluids. Nanofluids have a significant thermal conductivity for better heat transport. For the thermal behavior of a porous polymer sheet, activation energy assessment is a useful technique for the advancement of the thermal properties of polymers. The governing model is developed for the numerical and physical analysis of heat transfer of porous polymer sheets. The present model is converted into a smooth format for the accuracy of results. The Keller box and Newton–Raphson approaches are used to calculate the thermal properties numerically. The novelty of this research is the depiction of the temperature distributions and heat transfer of chemically reacting thermophoretic nanomaterials along porous polymer stretching sheets. It is noted that the velocity and temperature of thermophoretic nanoparticles decreases and nanoparticle concentration increases as activation energy increases. It is noted that the velocity of nanoparticles increases and concentration decreases as the temperature difference increases. The enhanced heating transfer with maximum thermophoretic transportation was depicted under maximum reaction and activation energy. It is observed that the mass transfer of nanomaterials increases as the Brownian motion of thermophoretic nanomaterials enhances.
