Chemically reactive aspects of stagnation-point boundary layer flow of second-grade nanofluid over an exponentially stretching surface

Abstract

Assessing the stagnation-point flow of a second-grade nanofluid with an induced magnetic field and the effects of Joule heating toward an exponentially extending surface is the leading goal of the current effort. The modeling of the thermal and solute energy equations has taken into account nonlinear thermal radiation as well as the impact of activation energy. The boundary of the sheet is subjected to the zero-mass flux and thermal slip boundary conditions. The simulated flow equations are converted into coupled nonlinear ODEs (ordinary differential equations) using similarity variables. The BVP4C MATLAB technique is used to numerically resolve these ODEs. Graphs and tabular data are used to perform the physical debate. The importance of a greater estimation of the magnetic Prandtl number and magnetic parameter is emphasized in order to obtain a better induced magnetic field profile. Additionally, the greater estimations of the second-order fluid parameter increase the rates of friction and heat transmission.
