Computational analysis of Carreau fluid flow in presence with buoyancy force, viscous dissipation, and chemical reaction

Abstract

Abstract This study presents the computational analysis of heat and mass transfer of an in-compressible electrically conducting non-Newtonian Carreau fluid flow in the presence of buoyancy forces, viscous dissipation, chemical reaction, and heat source/sink. Mathematical modeling is made subject to an inclined disk, which is linearly stretching and also momentum, thermal, and concentration boundary layer are used to simplify laws of fluid mechanics. A similarity transformation is implied to convert the governing system of PDE's into system of ordinary differential equations and numerical solution is obtained by the Software Matlab. The impact of pertinent parameters involved in the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are shown through graphs and the results for Sherwood number, skin friction, and Nusselt number are demonstrated through the tables.
