Thermal slip and homogeneous/heterogeneous reaction characteristics of second-grade fluid flow over an exponentially stretching sheet

Abstract

This paper deals with an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic two-dimensional second-grade fluid flow towards a permeable exponentially stretching surface with heterogeneous–homogeneous reactions. The nonuniform heat source/sink, thermal slip, and thermal radiation effect are also considered to analyze the thermal attributes. The modeled equations of motions are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by suitable transformations. A MATLAB Bvp4c approach is employed for the numerical solution of ODEs. The outcomes of various parameters are scrutinized by graphs. The quantities of interests such as Nusselt number and the skin friction are presented and discussed. The resistance effects take place due to higher estimations of second-grade parameter, as a result, the velocity field declines. The temperature field raises with the increment of radiation parameter. The concentration of nanoparticles decaying when heterogeneous-homogeneous reactions become larger. Moreover, from the tabulated data, it is noticed the growing estimations of K and M boosts the coefficient of skin friction.
