Chemically reactive flow of mircopolar Eyring–Powell Ferrofluid passes through stretching surface

Abstract

In this investigation, the behavior of a chemically reactive flow of micropolar Eyring–Powell ferrofluids over stretchable surface was examined. The study also considers heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical reactions, as well as thermal radiation and magnetic dipole impacts. By applying suitable similarity variables, the nonlinear partial differential governing equations, which describe the flow and energy dynamics of the micropolar fluid, were transformed into ordinary differential equations. The resultant equations were then numerically solved by using the shooting method with a Runge–Kutta update. The model equations are presented and discussed in dimensionless form through numerical approximations. A variety of numerical tests were performed for the dimensionless parameters to provide a comprehensive understanding. The MATLAB version 2023 was used for the numerical computations as well as graphical illustrations. It was concluded that the velocity field decreases with greater values of the ferro-magnetic parameter ß as well as for other fluid material parameters H, and ß. Whereas the temperature field increases by increasing the thermal radiation R while decreases with a higher dissipation parameter λ1 and Prandtl number Pr. The numerical simulation for these parameters were shown graphically, and the values were tabulated for clear illustration. Moreover, the current work was also compared with the findings of existing studies from recent literature to validate and contextualize the findings.
