Magneto-hydrodynamic flow of squeezed fluid with binary chemical reaction and activation energy

Abstract

The present exploration is conducted to describe the motion of viscous fluid embedded in squeezed channel under the applied magnetics effects. The processes of heat and mass transport incorporate the temperature-dependent binary chemical reaction with modified Arrhenius theory of activation energy function which is not yet disclosed for squeezing flow mechanism. The flow, heat and mass regime are exposed to be governed via dimensionless, highly non-linear, ordinary differential equations (ODEs) under no-slip walls boundary conditions. A well-tempered analytical convergent procedure is adopted for the solutions of boundary value problem. A detailed study is accounted through graphs in the form of flow velocity field, temperature and fluid concentration distributions for various emerging parameters of enormous interest. Skin-friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have been acquired and disclosed through plots. The results indicate that fluid temperature follows an increasing trend with dominant dimensionless reaction rate σ and activation energy parameter E. However, an increment in σ and E parameters is found to decline in fluid concentration. The current study arises numerous engineering and industrial processes including polymer industry, compression and injection shaping, lubrication system, formation of paper sheets, thin fiber, molding of plastic sheets. In the area of chemical engineering, geothermal engineering, cooling of nuclear reacting, nuclear or chemical system, bimolecular reactions, biochemical process and electrically conducting polymeric flows can be controlled by utilizing magnetic fields. Motivated by such applications, the proposed study has been developed.
