Effects of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and thermal radiation on magneto-hydrodynamic Cu-water nanofluid flow over an expanding flat plate with non-uniform heat source

Abstract

This study presents the effect of non-uniform heat source on the magneto-hydrodynamic flow of nanofluid across an expanding plate with consideration of the homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and thermal radiation effects. A nanofluid’s dynamic viscosity and effective thermal conductivity are specified with Corcione correlation. According to this correlation, the thermal conductivity is carried out by the Brownian motion. Similarity transformations reduce the governing equations concerned with energy, momentum, and concentration of nanofluid and then numerically solved. The influences of the effective parameters, e.g., the internal heat source parameters, the volume fraction of nanofluid, the radiation parameter, the homogeneous reaction parameter, the magnetic parameter, the heterogeneous parameter and the Schmidt number are studied on the heat and flow transfer features. Further, regarding the effective parameters of the present work, the correlation for the Nusselt number has been developed. The outcomes illustrate that with the raising of the heterogeneous parameter and the homogeneous reaction parameter, the concentration profile diminishes. In addition, the outcomes point to a reverse relationship between the Nusselt number and the internal heat source parameters.
