Comparative investigation of Copper, Silver and Ferric Oxide in binary reactive flow with activation energy and heat source/sink

Abstract

This research paper shows the insight into the study of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) reactive nanomaterial flow of Newtonian fluid with Silver (Ag), Ferric Oxide (Fe3O4) and Copper (Cu) towards a stretchable surface. The flow is generated subject to stretchable surface with porosity effect. Mixed convection, which is a combination of both free and forced convections, is accounted. The heat source/sink, chemical reaction, Joule heating and activation energy effects are considered in the development of energy and concentration equations. The system of considered problem is solved numerically via shooting method (boundary value problem fourth convergence (bvp4c)) and outcomes are sketched graphically. The engineering impact i.e., skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number is discussed via different parameters and results are displayed in tabular form. The important and main points are listed in the final remarks of the paper. The used nanoparticles have numerous applications in medical industry, applications in sustainability of natural resources and applied mathematics and physics. Also, these nanoparticles can be utilized in engineering sciences, biophysics, high-temperature and cooling process, space technology, biosensors, medicines, cosmetics, paints, medical devices and conductive coatings.
