Arrhenius Activation Energy Effect on a Stagnation Point Slippery MHD Casson Nanofluid Flow with Entropy Generation and Melting Heat Transfer

Abstract

This study features the entropy generation analysis on a steady two-dimensional flow of an incompressible Casson fluid with heat and mass transfer over a heated linearly stretching surface is investigated using a modified Arrhenius activation energy. The appropriate model governing the physical phenomenon is converted into a dimensionless equation with the aid of appropriate transformation and are numerically solved using the spectral collocation method. The present research model is concerned to study the stagnation point slippery flow, heat, and mass transfer analysis of a Casson fluid flow past an elastic surface with the impact of a magnetic field. The study focuses on the influences of Arrhenius activation energy, melting heat transfer, and heat source on heat and mass transfer behavior posed by Casson fluid. The magnitude of skin becomes lesser for larger values of slip parameter while the rate of mass transfer is enhanced via greater values of the destructive chemical reaction. Also, an excellent agreement is shown with previous studies for the limiting case.
