Keller-box based computational investigation of magnetized gravity-driven Micropolar nanofluid flow past an exponentially contracting surface with cross diffusion effect and engineering applications

Abstract

Transport of heat in combustion engines, burners and consumption of energy via nuclear explosions is remarkably effected by magnetize nanofluid and radiation. Present attempt is relevant to the current Engineering applications; as design of heat exchangers, systems of renewable energy, and Nanotechnology. Therefore, main concern of the study is explored the radiative flux in Micropolar nanofluid flow under the Lorentz force and gravity modulation. The impacts of cross diffusion is also included in flow field. The mathematical model governing the flow are transformed into ODEs via similarity variables. The Keller box approach is utilized for numerical outcomes. A comprehensive analysis of the physical parameters is carried out, and numerical outcomes are displayed in graphical and tabular form. Obtained outcomes are compared with results that have already been published and found a good match. It has been found that temperature profile and concentration profile have a direct relation against Soret and Dufour respectively. Temperature profile and concentration profile has a direct relation against Dufour and Soret effects. Thermal field grows by enhancing radiation, Brownian motion $\text{and}$ thermophoresis parameter. Furthermore, the skin friction.increases as the inclination factor grows up, but Nusselt and Sherwood numbers decline.
