Computational analysis of transient thermal diffusion and propagation of chemically reactive magneto-nanofluid, Brinkman-type flow past an oscillating absorbent plate

Abstract

The current work concentrates on increasing the thermal and solutal performance in exponentially accelerating vertical surfaces via the utilization of nanofluids containing the mixtures of base water fluid and Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), Copper (Cu), Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Silver (Ag) nanoparticles. During the fully utilize the capabilities of nanoparticles in a variety of applications and to evaluate the effects that they will have on the environment and biological systems, it is crucial to comprehend and manage heat transmission. This motivation allows us to investigate the nanofluid boundary layer flows under cross-diffusion effects, as this model study earlier was not conducted, thus the results of this work are new, which describe the novelty of the current problem. The partial differential equations for the developed model are altered into dimensionless statements first via non-dimensionalization. The numerical simulations implementing a finite difference scheme are applied for the solution description. The physical description of the variation of momentum, temperature, and mass fields for different factors is computed and presented graphically for ramped temperature and isothermal heat cases. Convergence and validation of the problem are checked with the help of tables. We found that enhancement in the Reynolds number, Brinkman parameter and magnetic field mark a downward trend in the fluid velocity, but it strengthens with the porosity parameter and time factor. The temperature distribution expands for advancing diffusion-thermal and radiation effects, whereas a contrary pattern was noted with the Prandtl number and heat consumption parameter. The thermo-diffusion effect enlarges the concentration distribution but decays with chemical reaction and Schmidt number.
