EFFECTS OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS REACTIONS ON THE THERMALLY STRATIFIED WATER-BASED NANOFLUID STREAMING ABOVE AN EXTENDING SURFACE

Abstract

The effect of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, as well as second-order velocity slip, on the magnetic influenced flow of nanofluid (Cu-water and MgO-water) passes above an extending surface has been examined. To alter the nature of leading equations of this problem, a new set of dimensionless variables have been employed. The resulting equations with the corresponding surface restrictions are solved using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg technique (RKF45) by developing a code in Maple-18. The outcomes of this investigation are presented in terms of pictorial mode with the effects of different novel flow parameters. Also, numerical values of physical quantities that are associated with this problem are set in terms of tabular mode. It is perceived that increasing the number of solid particles, the thermal and mass fractions of the nanofluid behave as an enhancing function, whereas the motion of the nanofluid is a decreasing function.
