Chemically reactive MHD fluid flow along with thermophoresis and Brownian effects

Abstract

In the current manuscript, the aim of the study is to analyze the Eyring-Powell nanofluid flow under the influence of chemical reaction and radiation effects in a slender cylinder in the presence of a non-linear heat source/sink. The flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid through a slender cylinder along with chemical reaction and MHD effect is not studied yet. Which is the novelty of current research work. Flow analysis is taken near the stagnation point. MHD effect is considered for controlling turbulence. Rosseland model is applied for the estimation of heat flux. The governing system of PDE’S is converted into highly nonlinear ODE’S by utilizing suitable similarity transformations along with the boundary conditions. The resulting coupled systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE), accompanied by boundary conditions, are solved using the powerful bvp4c method in MATLAB software. The physical significance of evolved parameters is investigated by graphs and tables. Nusselt number and skin friction are analyzed for several parameters. It is observed that the increase in the MHD effect rises the velocity but lessens the temperature profile and the concentration of the fluid declines when the chemical reaction parameter is incremented. The specific application of the study is that the Eyring-Powell is used in a variety of industrial applications, including lubrication, plastics processing, and oil drilling.
